Thorpe season ending bone spur surgery in elbow
Did they say they never found a bone spur? They're just announcing the surgery today. That doesn't mean they didn't know about it already.

Iriarte up tomorrow
Literally nobody is saying Getz is doing a bang up job - literally nobody. A handful of us realize he took over the very worst situation possible. He took over a team where every single asset failed other than Cease and Lopez. He took over a team with a notoriously bad owner, hardly any MLB assets and a bad farm. What's he supposed to do? I wish we had a different GM, but I'm not going to hate Getz for the Sox situation.

Iriarte up tomorrow
Yeah, they're bringing Iriarte up to appease the 18 fans who even know who he is. Some of you guys need to touch grass. In reality, they're probably getting his feet wet in hopes that he pitches well, has a good Spring and might be able to fill a back end starter role next year.

Nicky Lopez placed on waivers
Worst idea in the thread.

Beckham hints Pedro too overbearing
On one hand Sox fans think their players are lazy and only care about image (Moncada, Eloy, Robert), and then it's the manager's fault for being too hard on them. I think there's a certain part of the fan base who just masturbates to anything negative because they think it makes them edgy.

MLB Pipeline comments...
I like that you guys are diagnosing and creating a treatment plan for an injury Montgomery may, or may not even have.

MLB considering 6IP minimum for starters
Fantastic idea.

NYY @ Sox
Stanton being 34 years old really makes me wonder where the time went. Damn, that makes me feel old.

The Dawning of the Age of Sizemore/ Sox vs Cubs game thread 7:10 first pitch 8/9/24
Nobody hits high fastballs consistently. He loads late to let the ball get deep. He's better going oppo. I'd like to see him open up a bit more so he's quicker though.

Not a huge fan of the follow thru, but when he clears his hips, his swing looks great.

It's sink or swim time for him. There's no reason to not keep running him out there every day.

8/9 Games
So pure. He's like a LH Richie Sexson.

Pedro Grifol, Charlie Montoyo, Eddie Rodriguez, & Mike Tosar Fired (Grady Sizemore interim manager)
Low expectations and a solid farm. Why would anyone have agreed to manage Baltimore 5 years ago? They were historically cheap, poorly run and in a much tougher division.

I wouldn't mind Sergio Santos.

PC thread title: Clevinger will not pitch anymore in '24 for WS
Clevinger's White Sox value was objectively sensational. He accumulated more than $20MM in WAR for $11MM.

7-27 game thread Sox Vs Ms, looking for lucky #13
Robert's effort has always been bad. Eloy seems like he's putting in more effort, and occasionally having a good time, but they're both glass. Based on their social media presence, there's some serious holes in the way they train. It's the Sox fault for allowing them to use their own programs in the offseason, but if you watch them, they train like complete idiots.

I don't think anybody could get more out of those 2. I'm not sure who to blame, but they're both among the most unlikable athletes I can remember.

At this point, I would fire Grifol out of pure boredom. Do something.

PC thread title: Clevinger will not pitch anymore in '24 for WS
2.3 WAR for $11MM is among the Sox best signings in history. ? It's sad, but true.

Crochet wants an extension to pitch in the playoffs
2 months ago this kid was a failed starter turned reliever with no value

Crochet wants an extension to pitch in the playoffs
I think we should just commend the Sox for turning Crochet into great trade value. f*** Jerry, but kudos to the organization for turning the 11th pick into the most valuable trade piece in 2024.

Luckily I don't post my thought for validation. Love the site; don't give a s%*# if people agree with me.

Any franchise would be absolute fools to pay him huge money after 2 months of production. The Sox would be even bigger fools to do it while starting a rebuild. Crochet is lightning in a bottle. Get the value while you can.
