Peters has just been great. Thanks for not throwing more change ups

You like me and just drop your head after he fouls off the fastball?

Nicely done Braden. That was a bad pitch

Doomers, panicans, optimists and everybody betwixt - do the Sox make the playoffs? (8/25/2026 poll)
It’s a strange situation, as like you, absolutely thrilled if they make playoffs (and get bounced). If they tank the next 6 weeks though, it will quite disheartening. I think I’d have more optimism about the coming seasons if some of the expected core guys took a big step this year instead of struggling (Schultz, Colson, Teel, Shane Smith).

Rest of Season Rotation
Didn’t have the pitching prospects needed to trade

Hope it’s not Hicks.

How is it possible there hasn’t been one relief prospect that did enough in the minors to get promoted to the majors this year? Just crazy development incompetence.

Montgomery's struggles...
4 homers to opposite field last year, 0 this year

Is It Time To Call Up Bonemer?
Vargas is the better player, but Mune brings the prestige

8/24 White Sox vs Rangers: Urquidy vs Rocker 6:40 PM
Outside of Bonemer, there wasn’t a single prospect at the deadline that should have been untouchable. It can’t be overstated how much the terrible pitching development has crippled this roster. Guys like Newcomb and Taylor have been incredible picking up the slack.

And payroll flexibility next year

Good stuff…I will say thought that taking a step at the big picture for rest of the season, it doesn’t matter who they acquired at the deadline, if Colson, Mune, Meidroth and Antonacci continue to perform this way, they won’t make the postseason. Batting average is clearly not as important as it used to be, but they’re hitting .229 as a team since the ASB. It’s really coming into play lately with RISP.

I had no memory of that, so when I heard it tonight, I was stunned.

8/24 White Sox vs Rangers: Urquidy vs Rocker 6:40 PM
They were 12 games back last year at this time.

No pitcher has better stats but sucks whenever I watch than Cade Smith

Oh f*** that

Saw where they have 19 homers since the ASB

Despite Adell being a good fit for the Sox, I don’t even care that they didn’t get him. Pretty obvious they’re going to let Braden play every day no matter what. The whole point of all the frustration is the Sox additions have been very bad, while the Guardians have been good. There’s no denying that Adell has sparked that offense, and Griffin has been better than Cecconi. I also don’t feel bad when you say Getz was limited at the deadline, as Jerry clearly let him add a pretty substantial salary for the rest of this year and next.

So far neither has Doyle

Jo Adell murders LHP. This team has 5 potential outfielders that all suck against LHP

Going by WAR, so have you

Also, who gives a crap if you think he sucks and is on a run. He has single handedly won them a few games already. Isn’t that what you want with a deadline move?
