My level of interest in baseball is about zero right now. I'm rooting for myself to enjoy the last good 6 weeks of weather before CFB/NFL/Ryder Cup

Nothing new under the sun in a JR joint.

Andrew Vaughn is sucking ass.

drink at least 5 of them before you get into the stadium. f*** giving them that revenue.

are we winnin'?

That's the joke, DA.

Now, if he had had a great promotion at the ball park like 5 dollar burgers when he hits a HR, and that was ripped away from the fans via trade -- that would be lamentable!

People say the ballpark food is ok or does that suck too now?

can't lose or get hurt if you don't play.

I don't know about curses, just a lot of horse s%*# teams and one horse s%*# owner.

damn we ticked down to .394 winning percentage. in a year we were trying to win.

He's looked absolutely awful. It's a shame we wasted two months of his much needed MLB on the job training (in a fucking throwaway season for the club) lingering down in AAA, where he clearly doesn't have anything to learn.

he's done jack s%*#. just like getz has done jack s%*# for our overall draft and development efforts. all these guys are just cashing checks.

I would broom pretty much the entire FO and coaching staff. Start over from scratch. Pay Dombo or Theo whatever they ask and let them go ham.

Cease looks like dog s%*# man.

I honestly think they thought it would turn the season around.

Because it's the Sox I expect him to basically turn into JD Martinez over the 2nd half of his career. His statcast data is pretty incredible. If he ever does figure out some plate discipline he could be what Eloy was supposed to be.

They did a great job rushing him back. JFC.

I hope he no hits us.

Moncada is the third rail type for certain fans. Got a contract he probably doesn't deserve, likes to party and isn't shy about it, is frequently hurt and so on. I don't really get angry at individual players any more I'm too old for that, blame the dude that signed him to that deal and traded for him.

He's white, chubby, and battled back from adversity. Pretty much the perfect candidate to be emotionally more important to the fan base than on field play would warrant.

Basically a full WAR. I'm not going to sit here and argue for Moncada either as lord knows he's frustrating but you can't hand waive away defense.

It's a silly argument but hey, it takes all types of fans. Not really a hill I'm going to die on. That said, I can't imagine too many fans, casual or hardcore, coming out to a .400 club to see Jake Burger.

Fairly small sample but FG has Jake at -4.3 runs in the field, even with the 3B adjustment he gets. He's just the latest in an endless run of DH/1B types that Chicago has tried to move the wrong way on the defensive spectrum.

Kopech had major red flags attitude wise right off the bat, then suffered TJS. You need to stockpile pitching prospects, because the vast majority flame out or turn into relievers. Other than perhaps in the late 90s the Sox have done a poor job stockpiling enough arms to where you have depth when the inevitable flameouts happen.
