"The 2024 White Sox, some of it is completely acceptable".

Was he not running out of the box there?

Wow, look at that vet out there in RF!

He's from Chicago...land.

So he came cheap, that's the main requirement!

holy f*** he's giving two inches on both corners.

CATCH THE BALL

You would think with pitch trax and robots coming the umps would have incentive to improve. That's what you get for thinking. They are possibly worse than ever.

debong 182/182/712 lol.

Andrew is up there swinging a dead bat.

Sheets just earned himself 50 more starts. FML.

that rule is bullshit.

We suck again!

lol I took a quick s%*# and the inning was over.

Just bet Sox to lose. Can't go tits up.

KC is -200

Get him some Nugenix.

anything in particular? Looked like a crap draft going over the names just now, not just for Sox, but everybody.

"stretch, stretch, stretch, get on back there...[5 seconds of dead air] it won't, and this ballgame is ovah".

Beating a dead horse but he's good at all the stuff any national guy is, but bad at the stuff you'd really hope any local guy would be good at -- liking calling no doubt HRs. One of the most annoying parts of Hawk in his old days was that he completely lost the ability to judge the ball off the bat and we had the whole "stretch, get on back there, caught at the track" era.

Right. I touched on it as well they couldn't even produce a back end starter or in house setup guy. I guess maybe Bummer for a season or two but that's like 1.5 WAR out of the entirety of the non-traded for farm. Hindsight is 20/20 but they should have been drafting way more HS arms starting in 2015 or so knowing they'd have a 10 year window to matriculate a few keepers into the MLB.

Jason just had one of the worst HR calls you'll ever see. No doubt HR to LF and he didn't even call it a HR until about 3 beats after it landed 15 rows deep in the stands.

The roster management is just absolutely fubar.

I think that's priceless, especially for an offensive group. It really helped Detroit last season imo. That's what the Bears need to start building with Williams and his offensive group ASAP. The timing you get after a few offseason and seasons together you just can't replicate without the experience.

Main factors to failed contention window beyond 2 years in rough order: 1) Failure to sign a superstar 5-7 WAR player. Several were on the board. 2) Failure to get two average regulars long term out of the tank drafts. Madrigal turned into the Bird Man that got turned into basically nothing. Vaughn is replacement level. Rodon is long gone. 3) Failure to fill in rotation and bullpen with literally any non Crochet additions worth half a damn from our system. Traded away Dunning too early I'd consider part of this, even tho Lance was good for a minute, Dunning was an asset that was too easily moved. 4) Managerial hires, firing of Renteria, hiring of TLR and into Grifol. 5) Collapse of TA and injury problems with Moncada, Eloy and aging / hurt /ineffective Grandal. It's amazing how much just doing 1) would have papered over everything else pretty much. Add 5-7 WAR a season to the last three years and you might just win a playoff series and who knows what happens from there.
