Basically at this point TLR can't do anything right. He pulls Lynn after 6 innings and he's a bum. He leaves him in too long and he's a bum. A relief pitcher wets the bed and he's a bum.Yet Lynn looked great and perhaps taking him out is part of a new plan to keep him pitching better. His fastball looked much better after the rest from the All-Star break so maybe it's now about keeping his arm fresher. Maybe even Lynn said hey skip , I'm done. People wanted Lopez but when Lopez came in he gave up a couple hits and gave up a run too. Kelly's looked good maybe 5 or 6 outings in a row but I'm sure the next time TLR brings him in in a close game and he pitchers bad that'll be on TLR too. The bullpen has been pretty good lately yet every day everyone wants perfection because our hitters can't hit. There's a lot blame to throw around ,not just TLR, and as always it starts at the top.

Don't understand this. Players salaries dwarf today's workers. Anyone who pays to go to a baseball game is shelling out big money. Fans has a right to express their disappointment in an organization that has continuously showed it's disdain for their fans. Fans are just showing their disdain in return. Good organizations with good GM's have gotten a World Series victory out of rebuilds. Hahn talked about multiple championships and sustained success. Our owner and GM gives us a .500 team.

That wasn't hyperbole it was the truth. Naming a single guy in a 100+ years of Sox history doesn't change the fact. Baines might be the only left handed hitter HOFer in their history to have started his career with the Sox.

Almost every GM in the history of the Sox hasn't figured out how to get good LH hitters. Every single one of them combined has produced the worst LHH's in baseball history.

Just sad

I'm not blaming Liam he's a great pitcher . He's going to give up runs every so often and hadn't given up an earned run in a while. I'm also not blaming LaRussa. I'm just being this:

No, not a wrong choice because he's a very good pitcher but to me its like messing with someone hitting streak by pinch hitting them .

Sure but he's been on a streak lately. You don't mess with a streak even if he's needed in a non save situation. Just let him keep doing what he does best.

Hendricks pitches great in save situations lately so you mess with that by bringing him into a non save situation . Genius ! Cleveland rubbing it in, taking extra bases , stealing , telling the Sox we are better than you and we will prove it.

You forgot a few things First of all he got a tired arm because he basically had not pitched the previous 2 years. In order throw innings you have to have build up endurance in your arm . Him not pitching much in the 2nd half was due to being tired due to lick of innings the previous 2 years. So he ends up throwing more inning in 2021 which builds up endurance to pitch more innings in 2022. This is how pitching works.

Or maybe because he had faith in the Sox front office in the off season

I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it. Marlon Brando as Terry Malloy - On the Waterfront (1954)

Would be shocked if the Giants traded him. Once again Rick Hahn's prowess as GM rears it's ugly head. No Qualifying Offer to Rodon.. check. No draft pick for Sox .. check. Makes it easier for another team to sign Rodon.. check. Sox don't sign Rodon... check. Giant's put innings pitched qualifier in his contract that he easily reaches but based on his medicals Hahn lets him walk ... check. Now that Rodon can be a FA next year Giants can get a draft pick for him when they undoubtedly will offer him a QO (barring a big injury) because Hahn thought he might accept the QO and Sox would be stuck with him ... check.

Sox gonna Sox. White Sox and learning ha, good one !

Well I knew he was having trouble on flyballs and I was watching the game and after the granny I saw Robert blinking his eyes and I thought somethings not right with him. Then next day after he walked they took him out of the game so I immediately thought vertigo and posted it in the game thread based on his fielding and the eye blinking. So then I looked for the replay on youtube. I'm no doctor but that's the 1st thing that popped into my head.

That has to be pretty hard to do.

That's part of the reason why in the game thread I was the 1st one to say vertigo. It might be exacerbated by him looking up while running and there was one moment in the dugout after the grand slam where Luis blinking eyes like he couldn't focus which seemed out of character for a guy who just hit a granny . It's from 36 second through 40 second mark in the video.

Man oh man the Sox players are always finding new ways to be IL'd . Sure hope La Pantera receives quality medical care for his ailment and is back ASAP.

Trainer . He's a beast ! That guy knows how to keep his legs in shape !

AGreed taking away our top young pitcher and 1 of our 2 best young hitters just negates the advantage of getting Soto and increases the payroll significantly through what Soto will be getting in arbitration.

This what WhiteSoxDave said about the DM he got: "but it was from an agent at an agency that competes with Boras. I performed all my due diligence last night on him and he's legit. Long story short, he told me Conforto injured his shoulder doing something stupid at a bachelor party this offseason and that's why teams aren't lining up to acquire his services right now ." https://www.barstoolsports.com/blog/3411973/sounds-like-michael-conforto-hasnt-signed-because-he-allegedly-got-hurt-at-a-bachelor-party-this-winter

He's talking about a tweet that said what the Nats are looking for and it included taking Patrick Corbin off the Nats hands. But we all know what they want and what they get might be 2 entirely different animals. Nats would have to eat a significant portion of Corbins salary because he's signed through as many years as Soto is.

Martin Perez . He's lefty and a Astro's killer which is why I keep bringing him up . Rental for this year.

All I know is that someone told WhiteSoxDave that he hurt it doing something stupid at a Bachelor Party and Boras said he hurt it diving for a ball while working out.
