Forgot about the doubleheader. They're totally going 4-4 then.

Completely expect them to go 4-4 this week to prolong the agony.

No to Hjerpe Yes to Tidwell

Law is usually right about that stuff. He's one of the better public scouts out there. I'd trust his opinion over any other public scout. Before you scream about Chris Sale, I think that was a White Sox job because they did a lot to protect him. Very shortly after he got traded, Sale broke. The Sox got more out of him than most orgs would.

Bears shit in the woods, etc.

That's exactly correct. Look at DRA- from BP rather than FIP or xFIP. It's a better metric.

Who is Popeye?

More WTP from Vaughn.

More WTP from Moncada.

Sheets has been great since his stint in Charlotte.

I'm convinced the Sox are the dumbest organization in baseball AINEC.

What players have the 3 hardest hit balls by a Sox hitter today? Any guesses?

It's fucked anyway, but it's even more fucked if Kopech is a reliever.

Does anyone have faith that with an offseason and a full ST, that Gio, Kopech and Lynn can get their heaters back?

They're in a rock and a hard place. If Kopech doesn't pitch starter's innings this year, he like Crochet, is stuck in the bullpen. If Kopech is a reliever the rebuild is fuckt.

This is such a dumb team. IL Kopech before they ruin him.

This is false. Moncada saw 7 pitches.

Something was up before his knee popped.

Something has been messed up with Kopech all season. Velocity has been way down, hitters aren't chasing his breaking balls.

My opinion is that the core is good enough to make the playoffs but that's their ceiling. They'll get smoked in the WC round or ALDS. The hardest thing for a GM to do in sports is to acknowledge a playoff team isn't good enough to win a title, tear it down and start over. I have no idea why it's so hard to do when it's clear as day to the fans.

If they DFA Pollock, how much money are they on the hook for?

I mean, I don't see how they don't run it back next year. If it doesn't work then, it never will and then it's time to tear down again.

This offseason proves that Jerry is still pulling at least some strings there.

Title speaks for itself. Discuss. I haven't believed for about 13 months. "this group of players" defined: Cease Kopech Giolito Moncada Eloy Robert Vaughn

Joe Kelly in Spanish is Kelvin Herrera.
