Then quit wasting time on it.

The funny thing is I am trying to find the answer myself, and so far the only thing I can find is that it happened 10 times between 1980 and 2012.

So, how many 4 run saves were there last year?

This isn't you?

Yes, because you were planning on saving Michael Kopech for situations that happen maybe once in a season, so that is why everyone should have known you were talking about obscure corners of a rule, and not the part that happens 99.9% of the time. Please show me how many 4 and greater run saves were gotten last year to prove that it actually worth pretending it is valid or GTFOH with this waste of space.

It probably means the Sox themselves aren't announcing anything until next week and the DR freakout was pointless.

It was a tough decision, but we at Soxtalk felt it was time to move on. Someone queue up the greg tribute thread so I can immediate lock it.

Look, we allow you to be here, but if you are just going to personally attack people, you won't be. It's that simple.

Look, we have 477 posts of your posts of this circular logic. Here's the deal. -The White Sox have two real assets left in Cease and Robert. Luis probably isn't going anywhere for a year, maybe two. Dylan is the only one that is starting to get into the zone. -The White Sox did this exact same thing with Jose Quintana and it paid off in spades in terms of prospect returns. One of the return you may have heard of? -This is the White Sox chance at a home run, and being able get the absolute best deal possible is the key, not when it happens. The Sox don't care about 2024 or 25, at least, no matter what the idiots reporting quotes without follow up questions say. Their actions speak louder than anything. -You keep telling us how much greater the O's system is than anywhere else, but if you skim the cream off of the top, which you seem to think is somewhere between their top 3 or 4 prospects, that greatness doesn't matter. It opens the door for other teams to be able to step in front of any offer. Those "offers" become extremely beatable. -Sure there is risk to the White Sox with Cease, but with Baltimore standing on their own dicks this winter and watching the world go by them, there is just as much risk to Baltimore losing out on a Cease and seeing regression of players they are relying on. If the Sox of 2020-21 taught us anything is that assuming an upward trajectory for literally everyone is pushing all in on a risky bet. That bet gets more dangerous if another AL East team pushes in front of Baltimore and he goes to a competitor. -You keep telling us how Elias sets his price and that is it, and that's cool. But it just means that that also leaves the door open for a more daring GM to take the player away from them. -You can't tell someone they have zero idea that the offers are poor as a criticism and then immediately say that the Sox are asking too much, when you also have no idea what Getz has exactly asked for, and what other offers look like to see how outrageous that is. If you look at historic deals and at what the cost of pitching is these days, outrageous deals of 5 years ago may well be the new norm for cost controlled pitching. Otherwise pay a guy like Snell on the open market, right? Oh wait, they won't. -At the end of the day, Baltimore's window is already going to be narrow. They have small market mentality ownership and leadership. With every door they close to talent acquisition, it makes the eye of the needle they have to thread to stick around the playoff hunt even narrower. Every time someone around them adds on, it narrows it again.

The "mistake" isn't a guy who is being held accountable for his actions by his bosses, and paying customers not wanting to be associated with that. The mistake is people trying to eliminate the LGBTQ+ community. I sure don't want people who think like that representing me or the brands I like to associate with. Re-framing the argument to make this guy the victim, instead of the actual victims of that hate, is one of the most impressive slights of hand done to a large portion of the American people that I can think of. If he wants me to think it was a one time mistake he has learned from, let's see him doing something for the community more than a PR written non-apology, apology. Let's see some actions. Lobby for trans-rights. Fight for gay marriage, gay adoption. Stop religious schools being able to discriminate. Then I will listen.

If you hold these positions, hopefully immediately.

Cancel culture isn't fucking Marty Brennamen not being able to get another job after making a hateful comment on an open mic. Cancel Culture is a group of religious fanatics trying to cancel an entire group of people out of the United States, and barring that committing literal hate crimes against them. Your so-called "cancel culture" is a response TO the ACTUAL cancel culture of the United States. Your "right to beliefs" should not extend to the literal extermination of a group of American citizens. That's s%*# that happens in Iran and Russia, not the US... or at least it used to be so.

So when was the last time someone got lynched for being Polish in the US? How about the last time passed a law to prevent Polish people from being allowed to do things like marry or get basic health care? How about the last time a law was passed to keep Polish people out of schools? When was the last time someone burned down or attacked a Polish bar? How does the Polish suicide rate look when compared to the rest of society? When was the last time a library was sued because a Polish person was about to read a story to kids? How many people are called pedophiles for simply being Polish? When was the last time a President tried to keep the Polish from serving in the military? I could keep going, but if you see being Polish as equal to being the LGBTQ+ community in the US in 2023, you are ignorant of the world around you... at best.

If I meant you, I would say you, it is that simple. I am not going to speak in code here.

Again you are reading something that wasn't said.

I mentioned Tim's skin because it 100% colors a lot of opinions towards him.

You are reading a lot into what was said. There is a difference between understanding where someone is coming from and the rest of it. People want a target, and as a loud black man Tim is it for many. There is a ton of putting words into his mouth going on too. No he didn't need to talk. Yes he is fragile right now, which is one of the 1st things I said here, and a lot of what he is saying is a product of that. They were put into an awful situation, failed, and the world turned on them. If this team doesn't fix the damage done inside of the clubhouse, the stuff on the field doesn't have a chance.

Tim wouldn't be saying it if the last two years weren't a complete disaster. Take what we went though as fans and imagine it as a player.

That Tim isn't a coward hiding? And second seeing the boss do it wouldn't embolden the rest of the team to pick up on that vibe?

Jerry does nothing in public. But the teams still knows this.

Because Jerry hasn't done exactly that for 40 years now.

If you bring in a shitty boss and crater a happy workplace, it doesn't automatically factory restore with a FNG, even if they are good. Trust and relationships could be gone forever. And who knows what else happened behind the scenes.

This is typical discourse from you. Your very first post in here was trolling the group with all of the "woke" BS. Excuse me if I can't take you seriously right now.

Which actually agrees with exactly what has been said over and over again about the clubhouse, but TA said it so...

Real talk, this is disingenuous at best.
