Colson looks massive. Really impressive body transformation.

lol at the box score.

His life force flows from angry Sox fans.

So it sounds like we have a chance to rid ourselves of JR sooner or later. Great information in this thread.

As an MSU grad you should know Ishbia is a clown that bought Mel Tugger, ruined the Suns and now has his vulture eye on scavenging what is left of the Sox. We are cooked. We are a joke. I hate being a sox fan. I can't quit it and as the vultures circle we can only watch the carcass rot.

I was told we are a changed org! JUST SIT DOWN AND STFU GEZ GLAZERS.

T-Mobile gives MLB.tv away otherwise hell no. Even with the free product I will be lucky to watch 200 or so innings this year unless we have a miracle strong start.

CUDA bro. Vidya has been an afterthought at NVDA since 2020 with crypto and now AI. They have optimized and created GPUs for LLMs and other big models for years. It is why a 5090 is currently about 2x what it would cost if they were simply catering to gaming. NVDA has gained all the losses from the Chinese hoax created with (go figure) NVDA chips. Anyways go Sox!

What big data does baseball need? Part of the beauty of the sport is discrete math. We already have linear weights and almost perfectly correct run prediction off event analysis. I would guess even the data on spin rate and location and outcome of every pitch throne the last 5 years can be analyzed using sql. You don't need AI because we have repeated events. Maybe AI could suggest combinations against certain types of hitters but again seems like math that doesn't require AI. Right now AI is good for novel pattern recognition in things like fluid dynamics on Mars or Pluto or diagnosing hard medical problems or creating shortcuts in writing, animation and coding. Things that require orders of magnitude more data points than MLB creates. How bout the Sox simply start listening to their data guys as a first step!

trust me, we all know, for better or worse.

Because a certain subset of fans Want to Believe. And Want Others to Believe. Imma wait and see.

Ayo, some required reading: @bmags and a couple others called all of it.

God damnit that's awful. Best of luck to his family and Bobby!

Man Lee really finished last season poorly. Looking at this ZIPS is depressing. Maybe he can make a leap but he's got a long way to go after looking fairly promising early last season.

Just a heads up, I'm going to go ahead and finally block you as I just can't take the sheer inanity of it anymore. It's like someone says I like turtles and you respond with the price of tea in China.

First post in the history of our long tenure here I might actually agree with you. Look at the top threads on the forum right now and it's like the season is months away instead of starting this week in earnest. It's really just sad how JR has killed the vibes before the season even starts. Now, maybe things get off to a good start and we don't totally suck. Then perhaps we'll get some excitement or at least tepid enthusiasm back into our Sox fandom. But until that happens I don't see much to talk about or discuss and that is too bad.

In 2009 this hat was everywhere in NYC, it was one of the most popular, all ethiticies

If he wants to wear it so flat he's gotta keep the sticker on like my guys in Brooklyn.

Why is he wearing his hat like it's 2014?

The year is 2028. The White Sox are in year 3 of the rebuild. ZIPS has us for 82 wins. We have a seat at the table with a broken down Machado coming off his 3rd knee scope in three seasons in which he's played 100 games total. ZIPS has him at 1.8 fWAR. Our playoff window is WIDE open and we've got a seat at the table. 1 year 8 million. Print the playoff tickets!

I did this with UW football this year. I only ended up going to two games, the USC game and the UM game. It's kinda wack. The seats were pretty garbage overall. If it's like how the Huskies do it you can't sell them at all on resale markets, so you either give them away or just don't go.

I just don't get it and have no tolerance or patience for it anymore. The door has been slammed shut. Like 4 years ago you could squint and see "competitive offers" and believe we would open the purse when it made sense. Now we've created a team so talent poor that even if the Sox went on a Dodgers like spending spree it would still only propel them to 78-85 wins. I don't think it was their goal of course, but it is disheartening they've created a situation so awful that simply spending money won't solve anything soon. So to talk about sending money out in trades is just lunacy. Only someone dropped on earth yesterday would assume such a thing about JR and the Sox at this point.

Send money? hahaahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahhahaaha.

I'm at rock bottom with Bulls and Sox fandom. It's sad. I have no excitement. I haven't even pulled up the Pitchers and Catchers count down yet this February.
