Despite all the talk in the off season about trading him which I found rather ridiculous, no matter how yoy feel about it the White Sox have to be the team that tries him as a starter. 1st he's a very talented but young arm with the ceiling of being a special arm. Why trade that away ? If there's only a slight possibility of him becoming an elite starter or elite reliever why would you trade that awsy before he had a chance to develop into that ? I respect Bannister probably more than a lot of people here but even with his reservations about future concerns for his health if he starts, how his arm holds up as a SP is not written in stone. Just look what happened with Crochet. So few thought he'd never hold up as a starting pitcher but he not only held up he excelled . Obviously Bannister didnt have the same concerns about Crochet as he may for Taylor but the future is not written. The concerns are only based on some probabilities that could apply but are not guaranteed to be predictive.

1st time since 2020 that they swept a team this early, (3rd series of the year).

Probably from that play that Murray made. He hit 1st base hard and awkwardly.

Why are you excluding Braden Montgomery ?

Tanner Murray the unsung hero with that great play with 2 outs and bases loaded and Murakami with the great pick.

Shhh those concerned about the thought police might put a check mark next to your name.

Last year the Sox didnt get their 4th win of the season until April 20th.

Vroom Broom !🧹

3 in a row! Winner winner another save for dinner. Thanks Leasure and Murph !

You don't mess with the Pope's team on Easter Sunday !

Put this baby to bed .

Nice hitting, havent seen Colson go oppo too much this year. Good sign .

Nice ptching Leasure !

Nice pitching boys !

Sox were 1-5 and the starters had been sucking. He started both games and the Sox won both. Maybe that move + plus home cooking settled down the team. Why would you be resigned to him not starting ? He still just 23 . You might be right but you might not be. We still need to see him pitch consistently well in whatever role they put him in . I just want to see more Sox pitchers putting up zeros.

Happy Easter everyone 🐇 Go you White Sox !

You could be right. WAR does its best to calculate the impact of someone like Kirk out of the lineup vs. his replacement playing but yikes , 2 bad throws that cost 3 runs and a bad baserunning play getting gunned out at 3rd with Vladdy on deck and 2 outs is sad. He had to have picked up -.2 or -.3 WAR in less than 2 games .

Right around 90 give or take a few.

If the sale isnt happening till at least 2029 or even later if the plan is to sell when he dies, that means as long as he owns the team he is likely to have to pay the salaries of the players. Having more relatively inexpensive contracts not longer than 2 years means he's saving around $100M per year ( current player payroll vs $185M payroll ).

We never left. Way too many games left to not enjoy the boys playing baseball on a beautiful day.

Anyone notice that certain people only come to game threads the Sox are losing to rub salt in the wounds and tell us how everyone sucks ?

If you follow this club closely and the draft picks we knew the hitting was going to be ahead of the pitching. Even though Schultz and Hagen Smith didnt set the world on fire last year you knew they still had room to grow .Plus McDougal and Oppor showed tremendous growth. It's coming together bit by bit. It would help to have Shane Smith show up soon.

You worry too much. Sox are at home and they just got 2 gifts runs. Shouldn't get PTSD from baseball.

2 in a row , winner winner ,a win streak and a save for dinner !
