I'll give stone credit for accurately relaying his MLB debut. https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/SDN/SDN197104080.shtml

It's been transferred to the cubs by order of Manfred. Anti tanking measure or something.

The seasoning they got from their 17 combined innings in the minors:

Grifol pregame: "well you know he's available to pinch run..."

It's so fucking stupid! If he's good enough to come off the IL he sure as hell should be good enough to start! Why would you activate him if he's not ready to start? This "roster crunch" on a 40 win team is just the cherry on top of this franchise's stupidity.

That's about what this season is, correct.

I get that, he'll I'd rather see him than Flexen, but it just is bad process and will continue to burn the Sox and us fans long term.

At this point just use the Costanza principle. Whatever the Sox do, the right thing is the opposite. It feels entirely rushed. Dude has some talent, was a 3rd round pick out of the SEC, but his numbers are no bueno. And, he's not on the 40 man already. Just recycle someone else man. No reason to rush this guy up here, get his clock going, put stress on his arm and mind, and have to add him to the 40 man.

god he looks so stupid with the red gloves. there are guys that can get away with that, Eloy is not one of them. I know it doesn't matter but he still looks like a goof.

FGs projected standings somehow still have us for 61. I had a chance to grab -110 at under 60.5 (no phone gambling here gotta go to the book still) when I was at the casino for opening weekend of the tourney and it felt like a total sucker bet. I'm starting to think that we'll be lucky to win 55. I should have teased it down to like 55 just for a reason to follow in case of an absolute dumpster fire. Whoops.

Garbage in, Garbage out.

Well he's walking 5 guys per 9 down in Charlotte so get him up here!

So Eloy is active but won't start? Makes perfect sense, at least to the White Sox.

Maybe we can let him hit and forfeit the DH, how much worse could it get?

Yep, at this point we gotta burn it all down in order to possibly rebuild. It's not a guarantee, but it's the only hope.

I see Sox hats around town maybe once a week or so. I'll ask most of them in passing if they are Sox fans. 90% of the time all I hear is "I just like the hat".

most smart teams call the pitches from the dugout. the catcher is meaningless that's why teams want framing and offense, not "vet leadership" or "handling a staff". The Sox are an antiquated team in every way.

What can you even say? this isn't even a AAAA team. There are AAA teams that would probably have similar success.

burger made a bad error and then got pulled. not sure if he's hurt or just benched.

why would anybody want to win the powerball, think about all the taxes -- JR

Me too Chris!

Sure, but you can't win it with John Candy riding either.
