It seems Renteria’s lineup construction eliminates the chance of scoring in so many situations.

I don’t think a lot of people including Reinsdorf, realize how much Harrison was dragging this franchise down due to his broadcasting style. Benetti is a pro. He represents the White Sox really well.

Incomprehensible lineup construction, excellent starting pitching, questionable bullpen decision, and you get exciting White Sox baseball!!!

Re. Tanking on purpose; It’d be great if MLB could utilize the English Premier League system of religation. The bottom 2 teams in each league get sent down to AAA and the top four AAA get sent up to the majors! No way this could be implemented but it would stop tanking pretty quickly.

Just when I thought I was in, they push me back out.

Because they are White Sox fans.

Probably in about 5 years.

Do we even have grey road jerseys anymore?

Who’s doing radio play by play right now? He’s a real broadcaster!

Hey look guys, a major league pitching performance by a White Sox pitcher!

Did the White Sox get rid of the grey road jerseys? Every road game this season they’ve worn the black ones. Very sad if this is the case.

This could be the worse pitching staff in the history of baseball.

Hate the bunt but okay...

If Hamilton is the closer than please have Burr be the set up guy. Even ESPN will have to acknowledge that.

I’ll have what he’s having!

Very scary. Infections that require hospitalization can be life threatening or lead to amputation. I’m not suggesting that’s where this one is but infections are not casual things.

So I guess the white pinstripes are now the alternate jersey.

In about 2 minutes.

Wow. Even Minaya looks good. Almost like a real pitcher!

Okay, are we starting to be a little good? ...maybe???

In this place? Maybe three innings!

I’d love to see them move the fences back. I was really impressed with the dimensions at Camelback Ranch. I think a major league park should have power alleys around 380 feet not in the low to mid 370’s. I think a bigger outfield would help the type of team we are building and you’d still see a lot of home runs.

I would imagine he has a place next year. Hard to say going into 2020. I do enjoy his at bats!

So I’m mostly a reader, not much of a poster. I’ve been reading the debates about Moncada and Rick Hahn. I check in on the game threads almost every game, and I read a lot about the prospects in the minors. But tonight I’d like to post a topic that I think should be discussed even though for many fans I think it’s probably a trivial matter. And that is the look of the team, especially as we enter into hopefully a new faze of being one of the better teams in baseball by 2020. My first puzzlement is why does a team named the White Sox wear black socks? While most players wear their pants down to their shoes and sock color doesn’t matter, a number do go with the more traditional old school look of pants at the knees with high socks, and ours are the wrong color. Check out the Red Sox, they wear red ones! I think we should go with white so our next contending team has a look that supports our name. I love the look of the home pinstripe whites, and the traditional road grades and find it frustrating that the team chooses to wear the black so called alternative jersey for so many games. Obviously I’m a traditionalist and I look at the Yankees, the Red Sox, the Dodgers and love the classic look they wear. I’d love to see the White Sox go down that path and have an aesthetic that respects the long tradition of the game of baseball. I’m probably in the minority. Most here are younger and probably love the black jerseys. But I grew up with the late 60’s team looking traditional and classy and then had to live through all of the uniform nightmares of the 70’s and 80’s that includes some pretty awful teams. So in conclusion it’s an off day, no game to watch and I thought I’d weigh in on my uniform obsession and see what other Sox Talkers think. Oh, I’d also love to see some changes to the park but I’ll save that for another day.
