When did I say that ? I wasnt being sarcastic. I was sticking up for your points. There is a pecking order and I have always maintained in numerous posts that Vargas and Sosa are at the top. I have no idea how you misinterpreted that post .

You're fighting a battle that can't be won. You're spitting into the wind. Game threads are going to game thread more than they have ever game threaded before after a historically bad season and a bunch nobodies and prospects duking it out for roster spots. No matter how logical your arguments to be patient and understanding because you can't be as dumb as you're acting , it will ultimately get you labeled as a water carrying , Getzasslicking know-it-all by the Lord of the Flies Soxtalk Militia. Save your knowledge for the Future Sox section where's it's much more appreciated.

He didn't have those 600 AB with the Sox . Your stance while admirable judges a guy who is on his last legs because of his options . I don't like to use words like "stupid" to describe how not giving Vargas this last opportunity would be like someone else did but Ramos is just going to wait his turn . Who the hell else would you say would be the leading candidate to get the majority ABs at 3rd ? I'm sure Venable thought he was giving the most logical answer given the options ( no pun intended). When you're really bad you're walking a fine line between wins and hard choices regarding young players who have run out of chances and MUST play NOW.

While it's mostly a meritocracy certain concessions have to be made . The options situation and his previous status as a very good hitter combined takes priority. He'll be the 1st one out the door along with Sosa if neither one can step up. Ramos will get his chance but it's not like he's healthy or forced the issue. Also Rojas knows his role is to play well enough to get traded and play wherever they stick him. If Vargas proves once again that his fielding at 3rd is subpar but his hitting starts to come around Venable likely gives him more ABs at DH.

That's been my impression too.

But 2027 is just 2 seasons away and there's not one core piece established yet. You're expecting an awful lot in 2 years just with what theyhave now, some top draft choices and a return from a Robert trade. Maybe your definition of competitive is not aligned with others here. .500 would seem reasonable during the 2027 season if there is one, but you'd still need a lot of guys to get good fairly fast .

I think I have a baseball card of him somewhere. RIP Eddie.

I didn't get about the 1st 2 innings until I found other means so as far as I'm concerned the Sox won 3-2.😃

I thought of that for the exhibition games but VPNs cost money now don't they . Plus it's not worth it for just a few exhibition games if I can get the exhibition and regular season games " other" ways. I've never used a VPN any so not sure if they're easy to use intuitively or how you set it for a certain area.It might come in handy to get my daughter's Disney Channel if I could duplicate being in her household near SF.

Thought I'd see if the TV App was available out here in Cali. I downloaded it and the only thing I could do was watch highlights of Bulls and Blackhawks and related videos like shorts of the 3 teams , post game or general discussions by their talking heads. No game replays or broadcasts since I'm out of the area. So after the Rangers finished their 9 run 1st. I picked up the game on Streameast (shh). So as far as I'm concerned that 9 run 1st didn't happen 🤣

I think getting a new stadium on the 78 is a stretch but the rest of it isn't. Share price will still rise . Building a new stadium might be completely Ishbia's baby. But we're getting ahead of ourselves now. Let's see what happens and if we get some answers on the 28th.

Shane not Hagen.

Don't think so. It's not listed as one of the free games of the dayon my MLB.tv app. As a matter of fact they had 2 games listed today as free games of the day so I was watching TB/Minn and it just stopped in the 3rd inning. I looked back at the schedule and it said cancelled. Guess rain showed up and they cancelled it really fast. Got to see Eloy fly out.

Obviously they lost the 1st 2 because I couldn't listen or watch. Planning to see if I can pick up the CHSN feed off my TV browser here in California ( shhh).

That why I asked if it was the early leader because you said it before.

Of course if Ishbia has control and starts throwing money at the Sox while JRs been slashing he's bound to see that $1.8B valuation rise at which point the Brothers Reinsdorf sell their shares to Ishbia at a predetermined price between the 1.8 valuation and a new higher valuation.

Would Harry Potter, Willow, Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, Star Wars, Dungeons and Dragons ,Dragon heart, Dragonslayer , or Stardust help with the nickname ? Is Lord Meidroth the early leader ? Dark Lord ? Meidroth the Mage. Meidroth the Magician ,Draco Meidroth. Montoya.🙂

I think they're being as nurturing and supportive as possible to the young players. They got new R & D, new manager and coaches all buying into vision of the promised land. They were brought together at Project Birmingham and want them to be brothers fighting together to build a better future. The mean ol' grandaddy though controls the purse strings but he ain't built to outlast the grim reaper. We'll see how things progress starting Feb 28th until the old CBA expires.

The only time you can collude is when the current labor agreement expires . Then owners and labor both collude with everyone looking out for their pocketbooks. There's going to be some deep trenches along the front lines.

Exactly. That's what I've been sayin' my man. They streamlined the s%*#.

It would be pretty cool is it was 2 though. That would be like everybody wins, JR, Ish ia and fans. Would suck for Bridgeport but Sox have been in that neighborhood forever.

Collusion delusion

It needs to be sooner rather than later. J. Ishbia got a bit impatient and ditched the Twins once JR said " yo where you at bro, check this out. Look what I got for you homie". Maybe JR got some bad news from his Doctor.

Thank you ! Appreciate your dedication to White Sox baseball !
