chitownsportsfan

ha, as a Sox fan not from Chicago I don't GAF about the Cubs. I don't have to deal with their fans and I don't have any "south side pride" outside the Sox. That said, if I grew up in Chicago I can totally get hating the cubs.

and breaking back on a popup, I'm dying.

we've been over this on the forum but sign me up for that kinda of owner and "failure".

JFC, Garcia owes TA steak dinner and then some.

They should just give these fucking innings to Covey this is dumb AF.

There are 15 year old daily fantasy players that can dumpster dive 2x better.

How about the guy that signed him?

lol, I just turned it on to see the Leury misplay. I said it myself the pitching will be historically bad, FML.

Talking about blocking a guy that is in low A ball is fucking ridiculous. If Madrigal pans out you worry about one of those "good problems" then. If the Sox moved Moncada for any reasons related to Madrigal that is some horsehit process.

I think I've looked at his page a lot and agree with most of the monitors: Black Ink Batting - 20 (113), Average HOFer ≈ 27 Gray Ink Batting - 114 (186), Average HOFer ≈ 144 Hall of Fame Monitor Batting - 90 (199), Likely HOFer ≈ 100 Hall of Fame Standards Batting - 47 (107), Average HOFer ≈ 50 JAWS Left Field (8th): 69.4 career WAR / 42.4 7yr-peak WAR / 55.9 JAWS Average HOF LF (out of 20): 65.5 career WAR / 41.6 7yr-peak WAR / 53.6 JAWS There are certainly less deserving guys in the HOF and a 69.4 WAR is nothing to scoff at but for me personally he's just a little short of a HOF career. I understand that this is subjective we could argue all day about it.

Your 2019 Chicago White Sox! Catch the fever!

Well he ain't hittin' ya.

If they can go 10-6 maybe they can hover around .500 until July. Doubt it, with this staff you're looking at losses 3 times out of 5 most likely, unless the offense scores > 6.

ha, I'm not convinced he's a HOFer but the voters did so I guess that's alright. I was rooting for him to get in but personally I think he falls a bit short stats wise.

Yes he was. Rock was standing on 1st quite a bit, man could work a count and get on. Raines is a borderline HOFer (not quite imo) but is a no doubt HOVGer and his time on the South Side was productive. If the Sox had a few more hitters like Raines the last decade they probably would have another playoff appearance or two.

Tim Raines had nothing to do with "corpseball", FFS. Some of the comments on here have gotten Cubs forum circa 2012 bad. Bringing up an aging yet productive Tim Raines as an example of bad Sox teams and players? What?

34 years old with a bad back and bad hip. Good luck. Even if he does get healthy it's unlikely to last.

It's still annoying that Jose insists he's a full time 1B. That has created a roster issue going on three years now. Granted a more talented system could work around the issues but that ain't the Sox. If Jose would just commit to full time DH then you could hide a Palka type (left hand platoon bat in theory) at 1B/DH instead of RF/DH. Whatever, at this point we just need to realize this is still a rebuild year and dead wood won't be cleared out for now. At least some of the kids are producing.

Good luck waiting around. Jay is 50/50 to even play this year IMO.

nice to see.

Missed the game how did Rodon's velocity look?

White Sox have conceeded and are getting back on the bus.

Giolito sucks

That's fine but Giolito was historically bad last year, worst pitcher in all of MLB and one of the worst full seasons of all time for a Sox starter. Lopez, as I've said, was cromulent last year and will get a bit of a longer leash. But Lopez looks to have the exact same problems he had last year that limited him much of the year to being effectively a 5th starter and those are his secondary offerings, endurance, and control. You'd hope he'd come out this year and take a step forward with consistency, that obviously has not been the case.

Same, pretty tuned out for the 2nd week of April.
