  1. I know the urge is to fall back on stats, but I think in this specific case, his mistakes don't always show up in the stats. Missing throwing to a base, throwing to a wrong base, and forgetting to cover a base aren't really trackables at this time.
  2. Guys who have come through the entire White Sox experience do not seem to rank highly in baseball IQ in general, but Sosa is in a league of his own. You would THINK this could be fixed by coaching, but some guys just never figure it out.
  3. I feel like we always do this free agent dance where it is announced that someone isn't getting the market they expected in the off season, and then everyone gets their hopes up that we will get a particular player on some under-market deal that even Jerry couldn't pass up, and then the dude signs for like 25% above where he was originally thought to be getting.
  4. Like literally zero baseball IQ. Dude has been in the Sox system since July 2016, and still knows NOTHING about how the game is played at a high level.
  5. While we still have an entire spring to sort out, but I can't imagine him NOT getting picked by the Sox.
  6. I would be watching it, but I don't have that service right now. I LOVE all things Gilligan. He is incredible at what he does.
  7. Look no further than hiring buddies and yesmen.
  8. Nothing that is happening in baseball is so expensive that literally any team couldn't be doing it, if they actually wanted to do so. No one is putting 10s of billions of dollars into regenerative AI models here, it is 6 to 7 figures we are talking about. More money gets wasted on shitty utility players and bad relievers.
  9. Please. These guys aren't solving climate change or building AI models. They are funding baseball teams. I am not interested in excuses for Jerry.
  10. Poor Jerry can't keep up with all of the other Billionaire's isn't much of a selling point for me. I guess it is good that the teams who are willing to be out ahead of everyone else face more obstacles for the fan of a team that doesn't give a crap.
  11. Catching up a bit: The Diplomat is my favorite show for quite a while. For West Wing fans, getting Allison Janey and Brad Whitford back together is just spectacular chemistry and steals the show Finally watched Ozark, and it was a great show, with a pretty disappointing ending. Not Soprano's bad, but stains an otherwise top notch show. The P Diddy Biopic on Netflix was worth a watch for no other reason than the connects to 2Pacs and Biggies murders.
  12. Honestly, the Sox aren't spending any real amount until both the team is a lot better and the 2027 labor problems are settled and behind us. I am not sure why people are getting their hopes up for no good reason, but knowing Jerry's 45 year history and the current state of this franchise, it doesn't even make sense.
  13. This screams an excuse for the Rickets and Reinsdorf's of the world to keep underspending where ever they can, while the Dodgers of the world do what they do, and just hide it better. It kind of reminds me of "recommended slots" in the draft where about 20 teams were blowing those away, and youknowwho was sticking to it.
