We're 30 WAR away from being competitive. Give me loud tools guys in the minors over some 1 WAR scrub that is "MLB ready" every day of the week!

Vargas rocking a wRC+ of 22 in a Sox uni. He fits right in.

AND THAT'S A WHITE SOX WINNER!!!
chitownsportsfan replied to southsider2k5's topic in Pale Hose Talk
I think the one time you can say that sort of thing really matters in baseball is when a team has been on a death march and simply not seeing the leader of that march in the office in the morning when you come into work will spark more effort and loose play. The club has played better since Pedro was fired and although I doubt it will last maybe it will be enough to avoid the all time modern record for losses and RD. -
The only thing he has going for him is that he's not a Sox lifer. I'm not against him as a caretaker for next year but we need to do a real search. Not that I have any hope of one.

I think just the dead cat bounce you get from a new voice in the clubhouse is probably worth 2-3 wins. Not sure much more than that but it would have been nice to find out sooner. I went back and forth on any utility in firing him this year but once they went on the historical losing streak it was clearly time. -

Quite the thread.

Dumb thing to say, dumber thing to actually do. Let him have an offseason after his first ever season of "failure" as an athlete. See how he responds. Don't throw this on his plate now.

I'd be mad about being paired with that clown too. That said his heart hasn't been it in for years, just quit so we don't have to have a sub so often in the 2nd half of the season with no chemistry. Bacon is legit decent and you can tell he has a lot of insight as a really talented guy that just wasn't able to ever put it together mentally.

I hate this team.

Chasing Records — 121 losses, modern MLB record
chitownsportsfan replied to Paulie4Pres's topic in Pale Hose Talk
that playing time should have been given to Colas. I agree that roster churn is fine given how horrific we are, but we're going to enter into 2025 still not really knowing if Colas is anything more than a AAAA player. They've given like 400 PA to Sheets, who has like negative -3 career WAR, it's just mind boggling who they are choosing to blood this season. I don't get it. -
Schriffen says he was aiming at “Sportscasters”
chitownsportsfan replied to Chick Mercedes's topic in Pale Hose Talk
I'm not sure it's kosher anymore but uh, this is what we used to call a good old fashioned "cripple fight" in college football. Two teams that are equal amount of suck going at it. -

In 29 PA Senzel has -.5 fWAR. That's an impressive -11 fWAR rate over an entire season's PA. IIRC Harold was big upping this signing by his boy Getz. -
The streak has reached 21. Raise a glass.

It happened slowly and then all at once. -
Poll: longest losing streak this season
chitownsportsfan replied to chitownsportsfan's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Congrats to those that had 17+. Even I was not pessimistic enough to have a 20+ option. -
Is this .490 baseball?

Only need a TD and a extra point to tie...

8/3 Sox @ Twinkies 6:10PM - Road to 19

sure, but 20-30 games worse? To get into historical paces? Come on, even vegas only pegged us for about 102 losses.
