I never said it would be easy Perhaps in the off season if we make major strides with the pandemic and it gives more time for him to be his usual self and McCann to continue proving the doubters wrong. But it would be quite difficult to tell McCann to wait unless you have a handshake agreement that becomes effective when Grandal is traded otherwise it will hurt the offers for Grandal.

He's getting paid what he was worth. It's not an over pay when compared to top 3 tAlents at other positions.

Here's an idea no one mentioned because not many are going to like it. Trade Grandal . He's worth way more than McCann . See if you can get a LH OF with decent pop and OBP and plus defense but who has more years of control. At the same time make sure you resign McCann to same years but less money you paid Grandal.

Well everything he said was a fact except being the best free agent. Now if he meant best free agent position player that the Sox got he is right because he's the only one they got this off season. But even among all free agent position players the Sox could ve signed ,Grandal was pretty high up there .

Thanks and very positive . Good job !

Lol when was that 1906 ? I'd never write it out of the history books . Easy big fella ! I just was making a suggestion that perhaps that was not exactly what he was looking for.

I think maybe he meant since interleague play started not including ancient history. BUT it is worth noting that even while rebuilding and being bad we played them pretty tough while they were very good.

And that is a fair stance to take. But it's also fair that you cant keep going with cold hitters when every win this season is important. I dont agree with JGB that we didnt need Grandal and I supported McCann more than many here did. Grandal just brought way too much to the table to question his acquisition in a season that before we knew about Covid we were looking to greatly improve and beyond this season too. Keep both this season and see how it plays out. I don't think Mazara is a lost cause but he needs to be at least as good as he has been in the past against RH to make a solid contribution. How such a young, talented player could show such consistency offensively and completely crater now is beyond me If you had polled the board on what they would have expected this season from Mazara and McCann I think more people would have thought Mazara would be what he has always been than would thinking McCann would continue to keep hitting well.

No offense but this is a small sample size season. If u stick with a cold player too long it might cost you games. Mazara sample size is small and everyone hates him. You accuse JGB of confirmation bias but someone could say the same about you and Marzara. Only difference is you got the whole board on your side with Mazara while JGB has a minority opinion .

Winner winner spaghetti dinner !!!

I was watching highlights from yesterday's games around MLB after the Sox game last night and I realized that the White Sox are last in the league in cardboard cutout attendance. I think Seattle filled the park.

Take no prisoners

I would be remiss if I didn't mention Matt Foster here. 12 dominant innings to start his career. 0 runs , very few hits and many K's after his 2 innings tonight

Dunning looked great till he ran out of gas .Same for Mize. No high wire act for Colome 2 save situations in a row. EE did his thing with 2 bombs and Abreu was what he's always been . Collins started the comeback with a double. Called a good game and showed some catcher savvy coming out to talk to Marshall when they weren't on the same page. Timmy drove in Collins. Just a good team effort to reach 3 games over. 500 for the 1st time this season.

Yup dance as if no one is watching (or commenting). Its an expression of joy The more they dance the more we do too ! They're dancin' in Chicago... ROLLING STONES/BOWIE version of Dancing in the Streets.

A very famous number in Chicago sports history. Dick Butkus

Maybe he was wearing a mask when he came into contact but just thought it prudent to tell the club.

Probably had 2 negative Covid tests so that's good enough to come off the IL.

Tonight's game thread is going to be priceless !

Because people DO think. RH on the mound,Grandal out, day game tomorrow, has caught Dunning before and also I seem to remember Dunning saying Collins has improved a lot and liked how he called a game. Also if that Clinton Cole tweet is right and Collins is catching then it seems to me you weren't the one thinking.

I don't remember a trade rumor regarding Sox and Marlins for Gallen . You might be right. I do remember the discussions I took part in when a December 2019 rumor popped up involving Sox,Dbacks, Madrigal and Gallen. We had just lost the Wheeler bidding.You made a thread on who should be the next FA starting pitcher to target. Rumors started that Keuchel and the Sox were close .Then the Sox traded for Mazara. I thought the Sox might use Marzara in a trade after Hahn made some comment about it. The thread devolved into talking about trading for Snell more than it discussed who to sign next. Then end of December we signed Keuchel.But I had fun talking about Gallen for Madrigal even though it was just a random tweet rumor with no reason to think it was real.

This is a serious question since I never use radio or internet radio but couldn't you hear the game on the website of ESPN 1000 ? . Maybe MLB doesnt allow it or you listen mostly in your car.

If those guys all start I'd move TA to the middle of the lineup and lead off Mendick. Goins at the bottom. Maybe even bat Mazara 5 and Collins 6 to max out the lefties against Mize. Tigers also put a few LH relievers in the game yesterday so when Mize comes out we may see a few RH relievers. This is just fun speculation if all those scrubs end up in the lineup .

That would be ugly . Moncada has to play and hoping for Grandal too somewhere in the lineup.

Taking another shot with fly the coop thread with 0 replies with 78 views ? I would think a resounding no ! Not even voting.
