  1. this guy benson is the best sub ever for them.
  2. bad wording, not scrap heap but you don't find many positive WAR SP in the 3rd round, but for some reason the Sox seam to be decent at finding this sort of SP.
  3. these ABs to lead off are garbage. take a pitch man.
  4. he needs to miss a few more bats and stop grooving fastballs but he's def like not bad -- which as a home grown random third rounder is pretty good. If he stays healthy he looks at worst as a solid 5th starter. Maybe develops a bit and gets to a mediocre 4th. A rare Sox success story.
  5. the reds crew is upset at that inning. welcome to the club guys we've seen that going on three straight years.
  6. I'll give the Sox credit they appear to have found another decent 4th or 5th starter off the scrap heap. If they could only find position players half as well when they are up against the wall...
  7. lol i have no idea how sosa managed to hit the ball that way twice in a row.
  8. Sounds like we'll be lucky to get this one going before 7 Chicago time and probably closer to 8.
  9. Bunch of rain outs and delays around MLB the last week it seems. I blame Manfred and Jerry.
  10. If that happens the rockies and sox should both be made to play in the AAAA parks around the league as punishment. The As can take Rate Field.
  11. Tanking? With the new draft system? More genius moves I guess. Some fans are too zoomed out, no offense but you're way too zoomed in. The fair POV is not that they are tanking and rebuilding it's that they just freaking suck at their jobs. An endless rebuild isn't a rebuild it's just bad baseball. We're still a legit 20 war on the position player side from even being an average team. That's pretty disheartening.
  12. I mean there are examples of extremely cheap franchises outperforming the White Sox recently, a couple in our own division. I agree JR is a massive problem, probably the worst owner in baseball, but on his own merits Getz has done pretty poorly so far. Getz is lucky that the Rockies have taken some heat off imo. He's out of the national headlines.
  13. This is what the youth call "crashing out". Try and avoid it.
  14. Be nice to get Tauchman back and add another decent bat. I'm about done with the Michael A Taylor experience. Seems like a nice guy, decent glove, couldn't hit 200 with a metal bat.
  15. Heard news on the radio driving and first thing that popped into my head was "boy it sure took the Sox a long time to fire Grifol, even the Rockies don't have that patience".
  16. we may never lose again. I'd like to congratulate Andrew Vaughn on moving up to -.8 fWAR on the year. He's now only the 2nd worst player in MLB so far.
  17. It's disgusting as a fan of these teams to know that the league set it up this way. Not all owners but a majority are OK with subsidized losing. Certainly ours.
