Missing: Will Venable's Ballsack
Hey sometimes a coach needs a football mentality to fire up players who have fallen into a malaise. A bit of anger directed at an ump even if uts pretend anger gets the players on the front step of the dugout.

Winners thread ! Sox win ! 4-1
Back to 7 over .500 . Would be nice to sweep the Twins. Every mini win streak goes a long way to winning the division. Keep chipping away that magic number. Bombs away as Colson and Vargas both hit # 30. Braden got the double dutch Montgomery's HR threat going with his 6th.

Educated musical choices if he like oldies not necessarily dating youself. He what 26 ? You don't have to be a slave to your generation's choices especially now when rock has lasted long past half a century but isn't the popular choice any more because singing playing your own instruments, voices and harmonies don't matter as much.

9/4 Sox vs. Twins 6:40PM CT
Fedde's our stopper. If the Sox win this game the Sox record will be 16-7 since April 24th when Fedde pitches 3 or more innings. Encouraged by the recent starts of Martin and Burke too. Castillo not so much. Glad to have Teel back. Mune has to hit a HR tonight to make qhat I said about all 3 hitting their 30th in the same game come true , except I said I wanted it to happen for Davis Martin's start.

Tommy Pham is back
You didn't expect it ? I stayed away because I didn't want to get into it with the same old Getz haters crying about a tiny move and blowing it out of proportion to say same old Sox and Getz sucks while hoping down in their souls that the Sox don't win the division so they can be vindicated that you can blame it all on the TDL acquisitions + Pham while the Sox are 1 game behind their high point above .500 . It's their last hurrah although they are inventive when it comes to finding scapegoats. Everyone probably thought for sure Colson had no chance of reaching 30 HR's before Mune or Vargas . I hope all 3 hit a HR tomorrow and Martin shuts down the Asstros !

Tommy Pham is back
Are we sure of that ? Didn't the trade with Boston where we picked up Hicks money and Sandlin come after the Robert trade ? I think people are in such a hurry to blitz Getz they do stupid fan stuff like misremember how that money was reallocated. All it takes is for one person to say yea it sucked , we got no value should've kept Robert and everyone buys in and doesn't check the actual timeline of events.

and that's a 9 over .500 season high buried the Twins WHITE SOX WINNER
I know but it's a waiver claim and I thought that there was a 48 hr window to work out a deal. For instance. If the team wanting the player has to take all the salary they are also saving the Mets luxury tax money on top of the remaining salary and the buyout so that amount is close to $5M but they are saving the Mets money in Luxury tax too. So you're doing them a big favor. Maybe some handshake deal off the books for a favor later can be worked out. that 48 hr period is close if not over already anyway. So if we haven't heard anyone picked him up yet , we probably won't.

Oh by the way David Sandlin pitched a complete game (7 IP) 2 hit shutout with 1 BB & 9 K. He might've just catapulted himself into a September call up.

Mets probably want something for him . Wouldn't surprise me if they pulled him back off waivers after no one meets their price.

8/30 White Sox @ Twins - Hicquidy vs. Matthews (1 PM)
Dec. 19, 2025 Carlos Rodriguez has been named an assistant general manager with the White Sox, joining Josh Barfield and Jin Wong in similarly titled roles they have previously held in Chicago. They report to general manager Chris Getz, who has gone outside the organization to bring in all three executives. Rodriguez joins the White Sox after 16 seasons (2010-25) with the Tampa Bay Rays, including the last six as a vice president. He was promoted to vice president, assistant general manager in November 2022 after serving as vice president of baseball operations in 2022 and vice president of player development and international scouting from 2019-21. He left the Rays at the end of the ‘25 season to pursue other opportunities. Scott Merkin article Dec. 18th,2025 TRADE DETAILS White Sox get: OF Tristan Peters Rays get: Player to be named later or cash considerations Peters, 25, was designated for assignment by the Rays on Tuesday to make room for the addition of left-hander Steven Matz. Peters slashed .266/.355/.429 last season for Triple-A Durham with 28 doubles, three triples, 15 home runs, 76 RBIs, 73 runs scored, 65 walks and 11 stolen bases over a career-high 136 games. He also appeared in four games with the Rays after making his debut on Aug. 8 at Seattle, finishing 0-for-12 with seven strikeouts. Notice how close the dates are even though the Sox got Peters the day before Rodriquez was hired I'm pretty sure he had a lot to do with the Peters acquisition.

Not sure the Pope would approve of shenanigans like that.

8/29 White Sox @ Twins - Fedde vs Ober (1PM)
No since he pitched 3 innings he's useless for a couple days so sent him down for a fresher arm who isnt pitching anyway but better than a arm in need of recuperation time.

Except there is a typo since he put an E in Quedy instead of the correct Quidy so both right !

My research from last Sunday had shown that since late April the Sox were 14-7 in games that Fedde pitched 3 of more innings . So now it's 15-7

Castillo to Sox for Dominguez, Boston Smith, Nolan Jones per Passan
Throws a lot sidearm and there's no deception and maybe little extension (haven't checked.) And when he does throw sideline seems like he leads with his elbow as if he's throwing inside out . He has to get on top of the ball otherwise his pitches will be flat and won't break.
