  1. There is zero chance this will happen. Daryl Boston will be at first, McEwing is either at 3rd or the Manager. Some ex-white sox player will be doing this. It could be Gordon Beckham based on the fact that he is on the TV show.
  2. Hiring AJ without experience is a stupid stupid stupid stupid move. See Ventura, Robin. Everyone conflates, OMG HE IS A CATCHER, CATCHERS MAKE GOOD MANAGERS. This would be a failure and we might as well rebuild again.
  3. https://soxmachine.com/futuresox/infield-coordinator-ryan-newman-talks-white-sox-prospects/ I have zero faith that this is being done correctly. Some teams hire fielding gurus to do this. We move coaches around to see if they stick.
  4. I bought into the rebuild based on the fact that they would hopefully do it right. Build a pipeline of talent in the minors, build off of a true development organization and then insert high-valued talent with FA. But I forget, this is the sox. We dumpster dive and overspend for mediocre talent and then go all-in on things like relievers. Meanwhile turning the farm system into one of the worst in baseball. Because in the end, the same people are doing talent evaluation.
  5. Well hopefully our draft is the best player we can develop and not "polished" guys with limited upside or relievers. This guy screams Lance Broadway https://soxmachine.com/general/2022-draft-profile-justin-campbell-rhp/
  6. The same reason Leury is a defacto starter. Grandpa Drinky likes him his throwback players.
  7. Nice pick, what a horrible play by Moncada. It's like a fucking beer league with their D.
  8. Well, they didn't go out and hire a Duncan for their analytics position because he was the son of Tony's BFF.
  9. This is not a smart organization. At no point do we see the strong fundamental play from our own players. Guys that come through our system are flawed. They lack basic baseball IQ and might as well not know why a mitt belongs on their other hand. There is no "whitesox" way being taught in the minors. And the system is so thin if you do anything that passes for acceptable you get promoted quickly. And miss out on some development they are not providing anyway.
  10. They need to start taking 2 of 3 from the divisional opponents. They have already gifted the division enough of a pad due to their poor play within the division. If they cant beat Minny or Cleveland then this is over.
  11. There is no excuse for this level of dumb baserunning. If these were 10-year-olds I might understand, but these are pros who have played baseball since they were children. If the ball gets caught you need to return to the previous bag to tag. It's been that way since the dawn of time.
  12. TLR looking at Leury in the batter's box.
  13. @Harold's Leg Lift What about Owen Murphy? Local kid. Dominated.
  14. Catch the fucking ball. It's a dead simple play. That's a play a high school player should make. Maybe he needs a rest. He seems to be the only player on the team that is immune to riding the bench.
  15. TLR will not blame Abreu. He will just say the other team just played better
  16. No. TLR could mow down a bunch of children in a drunken rage, use a racial slur, and burn down a church and he would have job security.
  17. Whomever works with these mopes on defense needs to find another vocation.
