I figured it was some minor celebrity fan or maybe a marketing guy. It's our director of player personnel.

Dejong strikes out on a 3-2 fastball that looked to be 6 inches off the plate.

Entire team jogging off the field on a lazy fly ball to right. Yikes. I know it's not regular season but at least pretend to backup a base.

lol why the f*** would you bring the infield in there? It's DE LA CRUZ! Grifol is a fucking idiot.

Soroka is looking good. Breaking ball looks to have some bite. Maldonado however sucks. Jesus christ.

We might have the worst bottom 4 in all of baseball. We need a Hawk "that didn't take long" button for the game threads.

Poll: Predict Final Win Total for the 2024 Chicago White
56-61 for me. I don't think some people have caught on to the new schedule quite yet. We're going to get beat up by the West and East and the Central too, to be fair.

The Jarred Kelenic Appreciation Thread
Mariners turning Kelenic into two TJS during what is ostensibly their contention window is wild, even for that s%*# club. Watch kelenic have 2 WAR and the Ms to miss the 2nd wildcard by a game.

Garrett Crochet named Opening Day starter
Talked about this a bit with @ptatc he can make like 20-25 starts for about 75-90 innings. It's a different game now, if he averages 4 innings a start that's not bad, not great, but not bad. Key will be 4 innings and 2 runs, not 4.

Kopech to the Bullpen
Maybe if he mentally knows he only has to pitch an inning or even just a couple batters he can perform. I'm not high on him anymore, at all, I think injuries have lowered his true talent to basically slightly better than replacement, but in a throwaway season for the club it will be at least interesting to see if he can harness something as a reliever.

Garrett Crochet named Opening Day starter
The year is 2021, you're told Garrett Crochett is the opening day 2024 starter. Who wouldn't be excited! Come on!

Garrett Crochet named Opening Day starter
I was hoping he'd go into "openers" and "headliners".

3/18 Guardians @ Sox - Thorpe toes the rubber
With all due respect one spring training start means almost nothing. He should be in the minors because we stink and he has some stuff to work on without MLB pressure.

I'll allow it.

Grifol however...

God that Guardian's logo is horrible. Should have just went with the Spiders.

So who's going to pitch in the rotation? You just removed Cease, Kopech and now Shuster, do we have 5 healthy arms? Do we have 4? Maybe we are going for 120 losses!

3/15 vs Cubs
Sloan Park is fucking nice. Jealous of the people down there today.

Grade the Cease trade
The internet is truly wild.

Grade the Cease trade
To be fair, it's like the 4th week of spring training. At this point, beyond discussing is anybody is hurt, there is almost nothing to talk about until the real games start on the field performance wise. We'll see how good his changeup is when the real games start in Chicago and elsewhere.
-
Sox speaking about bringing back Clevinger
Bauer's problem, as much as his off field baggage, is that he's a complete douchebag in the Nick Swisher type (except worse) casting and his team mates and coaches all hate his guts. It's one thing to be a "free spirit" when you're on top of the game (likely due to "sticky stuff") it's another to do it when you're just another guy in the rotation ,at best.

Grade the Cease trade
You can make a lot of excuses for the Sox, but they have never really operated at all levels like a mid or mid major market team, and by most valuations they are exactly that.
