Looks like I was right Friday, Sat. and Sunday are all their highest win totals and best win percentages. 4-7 Thursday might be a better win percentage than 5-9 Sat and Sunday unless your stats didn't count the last 2 days.

That's on an 0-2 count .If it goes to 1-2 it's another stat.

Ban bet ! If you mean he won't be traded ,then anything he's traded for is " a thing". A week without posting bet.

This post was kind of for nothing. He's got 2 option years left on his contract but those can be bought out by whoever has him at the end of the season and he'll be a FA next year. No one will pick up that 1st option which effectively ends the 2nd option too since the only way to reach the 2nd option is for someone to pay him $20M next year which isn't going to happen barring some miraculous monster HR filled 2nd half and playoffs heroics. The Sox will pay down some of what remains of this years $15M which should be somewhere around $7M depending on the date they trade him. Most likely a bit under $7M so maybe the Sox pay off $3-3.5M. (If he doesn't have some major pull that'll keep him out for a month.)

Another save ! Back to .333 win percentage. They just can't stay above it. When they get to it or above they drop a bunch on the road. But good pitching . Lucky that Devers has sucked against the Sox . Nice little late inning comeback . I swear the Sox get a lot of their wins on Friday, Saturday, Sunday compared to other days . I suppose I could find those records .

Big DP !

We must be looking at 2 different things. Catcher was in the base path . He stepped into foul territory without the ball. Intentional or not he caused the runner to alter his path wider than it should have been which was why he couldn't reach the plate.

You know it's possible after looking at it on the post game show Taylor did have to go around the catcher because he did have a foot in foul territory before he had the ball. If I was Venable I would've challenged that play based on interpretation of the blocking home rule . Nothing to lose at that point in the game. A runner going full speed canot change direction in the middle of a slide nor correct his running path once the catcher steps into foul territory. He had to go around the catcher . The only question is how they interpret the rule which usually says something about having the ball before you block the plate, which he did not .

And he was just being fair after Wisely wasn't so wise getting picked off 3rd on a strike 3 pitch . Rare DP and Uber rally killy.

Lol I thought of you when I saw the interview list posted. You have made it known every time Friday home game that you don't like it 😋

Hometown scorer should've given Vargas a hit and RBI. Meidroth plays well at home , heads up base running especially with the late start having to head back to 2nd on the line drive Adames missed.

Since he came back he has about 30 hits and over half are extra base hits mostly doubles and HR with a triple thrown in.

Data, Development and the FUTURE of White Sox Pitching | The White Sox Podcast
Don't know why you even bother. Bannister's been a respected pitching pitch coach for years. The guy is offering no proof except mindless conjecture because the Sox have pitching injuries and Bannisters presence . That's it. There's no investigative reporting going on here. It's all he was here so he can be blamed stuff. It's garbage , baseless nonsense.

The only thing you seem to be saying is there a lot of injuries now. Everything else you said is talking without saying anything. You just I don't know what it means. Congrats ! At least you admitted you don't understand what's going on .

Data, Development and the FUTURE of White Sox Pitching | The White Sox Podcast
Glad you posted it. I watched it right away because I subscribed to all Sox podcasts on YouTube to get as much info as possible. It had crossed my mind to do it but I figured with the state of the board it would just be considered Sox propaganda and the thread would die quickly. Plus there seems to be some misconception about how Biomechanics works with regard to injury prevention and rehabilitation which is impossible to do. Yes it's is often stated goals to help in those areas but arm injuries come from throwing a baseball hard and for many years. It's wear and tear and most pitchers have been doing it for a decade before most them ever get hooked up to motion capture technology. They try to identify areas of inefficient movement or bad mechanics before or after injury and make adjustments. I have no idea of the Sox employ an injury prevention specialist among their medical people in conjunction with the biomechanists but you need both to work hand in hand they do need medical training and certification with deep knowledge of kinesiology , sports medicine and physical therapy. The athlete has to do his part and develop good habits . There are no instant cures. Bodies will always break because of stressful forces. All they can do is make recommendations and you can't turn back the clock . Injuries are inevitable and fans are ill equipped to pass judgement on scientific and medical practices they are not involved with since they are not the player, coach, biomechanist nor the medical practitioner . The most efficient way to throw a baseball is underhanded . Unfortunately it is not the way to throw it the hardest or with the most accuracy. The long link I have provided is an AI synopsis of 8 different articles on how Biomechanics and sports medicine collaborate to HELP to try to assist in injury prevention and rehab. https://www.google.com/search?q=what+medical+training+should+a+biomechanist+have+when+trying+to+prevent+and+rehab+sports+injuries+%3F&authuser=0&aep=21&udm=50&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=aim_aware&utm_content=oo-seaport-10123&mstk=AUtExfCfLth68GKOQHLspv78wLXIpgREht_W4P2FoR7JdBxoGSY0EDC3otTn2b9ISDWlE7rI6B3aDgkk4IGoLOroy6wf6iXDCgkGCs9P7RxEZTAODnj2pmRYrEDiku2M90Bsn8JW5XyDBMiwpovVeDvEXpDuumix33a0WbpGlXBOMh8M1oMNyc1WLz1s33Fx6YFKLpEGzFmA3u46GZbYko85d9_yaz_u0CWMr_YyJwxVGIS-kquvZy9Berzm2_aFnevC1499qMgXnb16_SovgQNoOaZGeluu5XnS1ir57_k1Uef_nTwz4AKRB2H_bKVtaaBa1lNlNszJXw13Mg&csuir=1

Two often repeated statements/ arguments on this board that now seem silly:
She wasn't very tolerable of newbies. I incurred her wrath too . I think I said something about Frank Thomas being steroid free but I might have said it in a way that confused her and she got very pissed. Many many years ago since I've been around here over 20 years.
