Don't you know BST stands for Bull s%*# Time?

I will also throw out there that a fair amount of the things we get mad about (line up construction and general pitching usage) have been done for a number of years in combination with the front office and might not even be Venable decisions. Because of the roster management involved in some of these moves, I highly doubt Will alone is deciding the starters on a particular day. Now Will probably has the power for in game moves and when to deploy them, but all of the way back to Hahn, the setting of the rotation, openers, line ups, days off etc, are made in cooperation with the GM to make sure the roster fits what is being done.

Knowledge or guts?

He almost got the 0-1 pitch which was 101 up and out but was just under it. The funny part is Stone called for the next pitch to he face high fastball. Spoiler alert: it was not face high.

I take it you weren't referring to Cleveland?

So your whole argument isn't where is he TODAY, it is where was he years ago? Uh sure. I guess by this logic, Luis Castillo was a great find!

He has less experience than a kid in HS? What are you even going on about?

Dude is fresh off of TJS and was a rookie with 4 starts before it. Even if he was experienced, he would still be in his first starts off of TJS which is asking a lot of people. He's also a dude who even last time around was learning on the job with zero pressure.

What are you even talking about? This isn't a high school kid, he is in AA. Neither one of these guys were called up from HS.

So what does Walker Jenkins and the Twins have to do with any of that?

Not you putting holes into your own argument.

But other than that, it is totally the same.

I guess if that is what you are worried about here, ok. I would rather this stop happening within this franchise.

Somebody talked is right. Shirley ran his mouth in public, and a lot of people apparently heard it. For apparently the 3rd time now, this was reported back to the White Sox through a 3rd party. (2021 survey, 2022 MLB, and however it got back to them in 2026) Having other parties involved isn't the greatest way to keep a secret.

It has been updated. It has been policy for years now ever since the updating of the board with the removal of the political forum.

Even if we back in at .500, we are still in. After the last few years, I will take it.

Like I have been saying, you might not like the way that Sox have been playing, but you still need at least two other teams to play significantly better than the Sox in a season where a lot of teams are mediocre, at best. The AL is just lukewarm dogwater for the most part.

Does this mean lot C is NOT going to be used, or they just haven't announced what is happening there?

Again, it's the vibe that he is only trusting a few guys and really riding them hard.

I promise you that there are clauses in all of these guys contracts about how they act in public, and he could have been fired for cause. Yes he might have wanted to fight it, but pretty sure he doesn't want testimony about the years of dumb s%*# he said and did, and neither do the Sox. This is a divorce of convenience for both parties.

Now we get to spend the winter deciding if half these guys are their first half or secondhalf selves... well we will once the lockout ends.

Unless this is a payback for everyone who said all I need is for them to win it once in my life!

Does everyone want to get suspended today? We already deleted the political bs once. It won't happen again.

Again, the Sox need two teams to pass them, one from within the division AND at least one from outside of the division to pass them for them to not make the playoffs. It CAN happen, but it won't be easy.

Son, you are literally on here making excuses for this stuff. Save your sacreligiousness for someone else.
