MLB already has the book on Chase.

Leave Getz in Boston if he's with the team, let him pay his own airfare after you fire him.

I really hate not starting Quero than PH him.

Quero sits then?

Interesting. These marathons are quite disruptive. The NYC one basically makes getting from Brooklyn to Manhattan impossible by car. It always screwed with our canvassing operations.

Man, during Covid I was always so excited to wake up and watch early baseball. Now it's like snooze. Sucks.

Seems like we haven't played a ton of day games so far so I'll allow it.

It was just some fluke and really means jack squat. As @Look at Ray Ray Run said if the Sox think this is some inefficiency they are wrong, certainly not at a team wide application. A certain hitter or two I could buy, but you can't have an entire lineup of guys watching strikes go by.

A lot of purple prose to say very little by that author. The ole non Dan Z fan graphs special.

I can't tell is this is a genius bit or in general what's wrong with allowing anybody to have an opinion online reaching thousands. Have you and @greg775 even been seen in the same room together?

We'll take the ZIPS projection. Dan had us at 53. I can easily see 43-119. We're on pace for 36 wins so maybe I'm being optimistic. This team fucking sucks. Dan's entire writeup is worth the read.

Team looks like it's already quit imo. Our inability to find players with grit and managers that can motivate is a very big factor in why the team is so bad and will once again under perform the projections by 10-20 games.

We're just as bad as last year probably worse on paper. The problems in the White Sox organization are multifold.

1/3 of his balls in plays are classified as "burner / flare". Dude is swinging a shanked 9 iron up there.

careful he once had a 900 OPS in July you're going to summon @WestEddy

Due up: bum, bum, bum.

1 hit 1 error. I wonder how many times we'll out error our hits this year.

Maybe. Sheets seems like a guy that because of his status is willing to try things that might be scary at first. He's always been a bit of an afterthought and had to hit his way up, even as a fairly high draft pick. Vaughn was just handed a started job and was never demoted or had to face the reality of losing playing time. We just keep trotting him out there and so he probably thinks well, why change anything? I don't think any other org would have tendered him. They would have tried to do some incentive laden deal at best with a team option or vesting options.

This team is one fire: through 17 games last year we are 2-15 -- this year we literally have 100% more wins at 4-13. Suck it Getz haters.

Give him the greenie coffee going forward. Dude doesn't even care enough to juice.

Imagine telling a Sox fan in 2021 that a month into 2025, Luis Robert would have a 440 OPS and 2 HR in his last 240 PA, Andrew Vaughn would have negative career WAR and the Sox, by the way, are coming off the worst season of all time.
