This is one of those decades that I wish I wasn’t born a white sox fan.

So Grandal can play both games in a doubleheader and Jimenez can pinch hit in game 1 and play game 2, but TA cannot play both games or pinch it. I honestly don’t get the fucking logic.

Maybe we can Un-FA Keuchel and just put this team out of misery

Hey guys look, It’s understandable why hall of fame manager Tony La Russa can’t solve a legend like Cleveland’s Josh Naylor. Nobody has ever been able to, after all.

Looks like he’s ok. Thank goodness

Please don’t be shattered again Mr. Glass

And Duran’s play is still not as brutal as these Apple TV announcers

So does Tony pull Giolito for that play?

2018? WORST PITCHER IN BASEBALL…BUT HE HAD SOMETH…wait never mind

Apple TV announcers are clowning the decision to not put Ramirez on. We have officially hit a new low.

That entire inning was a microcosm of the 2022 season.

Yoan is probably not ever going to have a season like 2019 again, as I think his BABIP of .406 was one of the highest in baseball history, but he is still way, way, way better offensively than most people here want to give him credit for. He is a very high variance player due to strikeouts and his overall offensive profile but I believe he is still a reliable 3-4 WAR player.

I’m not ready to look at Eloy’s sample size from this year and think it indicates anything. Even with his struggles / injuries, the guy still does produce at a 37 home run per 162 clip and has an 800+ OPS. If he can stay healthy, he will produce. Grandal, on the other hand….given Seby’s emergence as a semi legit offensive player I give Grandal a pretty short leash in the second half of he can’t get on base. If he can get on base, I don’t worry about his batting average or power. I’m worried about his eye right now.

This is awesome. Thanks!

Is this the best value for a veteran slugger on a $50 million+ contract in MLB? Since 2020, Abreu has generated 8.5 fWAR, and the Sox have paid him to date 2020 37% of 12,666,667 - $4,686,666 2021 $17,666,667 2022 (to date - 88 team games played out of 162) $10,683,127 $33,036,460 paid to date / 8.5 fWAR = $3,886,642 per 1 fWAR

Can Harrison knock off the high stepping to second? The last couple of times he’s hit a double it seems like if he was going hard he might have at least thought about three.

He will be batting 3rd AND 4th in game 2.

Yes, I know. Which is why I said “as much as possible”.

I finally understand the priorities of this team 1) getting Leury enough PAs to get him back to .270 2) making sure Eloy / Moncada / Vaughn / Abreu / Anderson are absolutely never in the lineup at the same time all year except as a last resort when a win is needed to maintain fan interest 3) never having a winning streak longer than four games or losing streak longer than three games as much as possible 4) not having a single player qualify for any offensive stats by keeping their ABs under 3.1/team game 5) laughing at fans for caring

Any Vaughn updates?

at this point, I think this is mostly correct. Jerry is complacent, old, and just wants to be surrounded by his people. Institutionally we are so toxic. It is an utter shame we are wasting this much talent.

He just missed that.

Corpseball: The Return

Jerry Reinsdorf is Jose Abreu’s no trade clause. He will be re-signed for 2/$40 or something as a farewell tour.

That’s a different thing than the shooter still being at large, which is what I was responding to.
