Colas' main problem is that horrific 44% chase rate. If you can fix that with a Grifol pep talk, LFG!

Look at the box score bro. We have ZERO errors. The Cubs have infinitely more than us. Now, who's really winning? The score says 8-1, but only one team is playing a good clean game.

To be fair, so are the Sox.

This ballgame is ovah!

In spring might as well try and make the play imo.

I felt like at the end they were sitting about 30 feet from each other in the booth.

It would be nice if he panned out into a useful regular. Still pretty young and seems to have a good eye.

Ask Grandal.

These are all established vets, you can expect them to turn it on once the games start to count. --GRIFOL

The more southern teams bitched and moaned about too many early season home games iirc. So now the Sox are as likely to be outside in the midwest as anywhere else.

Stone leaned into all of the corn ball stuff, or 90% of it. He probably just enjoys being the star of the show again.

Our top four will be lucky to put up 8 WAR. I mean I get your point, but I get mine too.

Imagine seeing that lineup, spring training opener or not, as a flash forward in 2019. You'd think it was a split squad game, you'd PRAY it was a split squad game.

Maybe not JR, but Grifol I can totally see saying this.

2005 was the vaccine but she's been faded and for younger fans they never even got the shot.

that's arguable. some fandom is like a virus, it sleeps for awhile but now and then it will come out even when it's all but dead and killed. yes, I just compared the white sox to herpes and shingles or some s%*#.

Is anybody down there? Weather has looked absolutely perfect. Dodgers smoked Padres today 14-1.

Probably more like a Margarita Vallez or similar.

2024 attendance:

Crochet: I'm a starter. Sox: he's preparing like a starter. Question: How many innings will he expect to pitch as a starter? Sox: 70 or so across 20-25 starts. 2024 MLB baseball folks!

It's a single inning Michael, how much could he possibly get hurt?

I'd give a golf clap personally.

TA isn't really a bounceback candidate tho. His underlying batting metrics are telling. 61% ground balls. 32% pull percentage. His statcast data is brutal, like barely even a MLB player bad. His sprint speed IS BELOW AVERAGE. He's a shell of the guy that he was at 25, or even 27. For whatever reason, he stinks now.

Post covid live event bump is long gone. They will be lucky to be getting 15k through the gates a night by the end of June. They can announce paid as 20k or even 18k, but there will be a lot of no shows.

I don't want TA at any price. He needs a clean slate and to get away from the off field distractions in Chicago. The Marlins can try and rehab his value but TA is a guy that has always relied on quick twitch ability rather than skill. At 30, he's going to have a hard time keeping that quick top hand and the speed (and health) needed to maintain the high BABIP he had in his prime. There's a decent chance he's just done as a MLB player imo. I don't think he has the adjustments needed if his athletic ability has declined as much as it looked last year.
