  1. And if you look around the MLB playoff teams, they all have their own holes and flaws too. The Sox are far from alone here.
  2. Or so the Germans would have you believe... RIP.
  3. With Leury OK and sliding back to down to his utility role, the need for a guy who plays defensively up the middle isn't as great, so its a good time to audition the kid. Heck Romy might be doing Leury's job next year.
  4. Its a pure roster management and maximization move.
  5. If it still exists, you give hinm a QO, and then if bidding really does get into 3-4 year range, you let him walk. Given his history, you just can't put those kinds of funds into someone who is hurt so often.
  6. Things changed this year with his injury. He was absolutely being ramped up earlier this year, but they definitely put the training wheels back on after he got hurt.
  7. The really good news here is that the way things stack up, the Sox and Houston are pretty well locked in unless something crazy happens in the next few weeks. That means no matter what happens in that AL East craziness, the Sox can only play the winner of the the three teams, as the two wild cards will meet first, and then the winner of that game gets Tampa before the ALCS round. If the Sox beat Houston, they get the AL East survivor.
  8. I think Mike Wright exists as a long man to suck up innings they don't want to waste on an arm they care about for the post season.
  9. If the White Sox have taught me anything, its that they have no idea what the rotation will look like next year, let alone is 2024. Don't believe me? Go back 5 years and look at everyone's "future rotations" and line ups.
  10. Relax killer. No need for hurt feelings.
  11. So effectively the Sox have lost 12 more innings than they gained in the 9th? Assuming 4 run per game, that accounts for like 5ish runs?
  12. This. He was straight away, and made a line straight across before turning into an L shaped route. If he gets the right angle, Luis is there.
  13. For a team with Hall of Famer person as a manager, we have been awful in extras. Too many dumb mistakes defensively, and then not a lot of strategy offensively. That has also seemingly shown up in our 15-21 record in one run games as well.
  14. He definitely misread it. He came over and didn't recognize its carry until it was too late. If he gets a good read, he makes an easy play. Was a line drive that was hit harder than he realized.
  15. Like I said the other day, if everyone else does their job, no one is talking about Kimbrel. Sure you want him to pitch over it, but in the major leagues if you give teams extra outs and bases, you will get beaten.
  16. Oh I have zero problem with fake IL trips for guys to get them ready. Its just odd that as these are seemingly happening, they are worse than we expect and not similar or less.
  17. A thought I just had. It seems like either with the last managerial change, or with the training staff change, we aren't getting the kind of medical updates that we used to get. Like I said I can't be sure which change is the one filtering the information, but it used to seem like guys were typically right on the types of information which were fed to the public. This year it seems like it is always worse than what we are initially told. Maybe it is all bad luck in 2021 after the oddities of 2020, but it just feels different lately.
  18. In 2021, how people still think this is funny is beyond me.
