If it comes back, I would bet thee is a 99% chance it's in some different form. And the front office won't participate.

Re about your comment JR would not allow another rebuild. I would tend to agree with you, but remember during the seasons of the last , very recent rebuild, JR never made more money.

Pedro interviewed well and told them what they wanted to hear. 1B and DH as RF? That’s great we just need them ready to play. They weren’t going to hire anyone that disagreed with their analysis. They were willing to listen, then dismiss. Larry Himes was hated by JR, he did it a different way. He set the franchise up for sustained success they were unable to sustain before he was fired. When they hired Ozzie, KW and Ozzie will both tell you during his interviews, Ozzie told KW what he was doing wrong. It eventually led to the one year we have all been alive the White Sox ever won a playoff series. When things aren’t working you can continue to do exactly the same thing again and again thinking things will eventually change, but you are going to find out the hard way the change won’t be for the better. With this rebuild, the White Sox got to the point where it was over and they went back to operating like they have operated all the years they failed miserably where going for it, and all in couldn’t get you meaningful games in September. They had 6 starter in the organization, and that was with Kopech not going to be able to go the entire season even if healthy. One of many grounds for termination. And Chris Getz, how come there isn’t anyone in the minor league system that can’t pick up some innings? Since you took the job every quote from you is raving about some player, Someome needs to tell Chris to go coach a travel team or something.

I think they were pretty much stuck, either go total rebuild or try again until the deadline and dump guys then. They probably determined going this way , even if it doesn’t work, was worth a few less ping pong balls in the lottery. The NBA may be finally changing. For years there never were more than a few teams that really had a chance to win the championship or even make the finals. The playoffs will-never be the crapshoot like other sports, but it is getting closer.

I would think at this point the teams main goal is to keep Giolito healthy and effective until they trade him. He’s the one guy that’s going to go that can bring something useful back, unless Cease and Robert and Kopech are available. They don’t have much that will get you a prospect the Sox wouldn’t have to develop too much to be a major league contributor. Anyone they would have to be significantly developed is a blah acquisition because it rarely happens. How the f*** is Rick Hahn still an MLB GM?

I would guess Soxfest is a thing of the past, much like many perks they used to give season ticket holders, that were eliminated using the pandemic as an excuse. They did have season ticket holder appreciation events this year, where season tickeholders could buy more tickets to attend their “appreciation” activities. I think Soxfest is going the way of the Edsel.

Nice. Exit velo is overrated at least today.

Prince Harry with a hit.

Lynn is James Shields at this point. Too bad Hahn isn't a GM for some other team

We are supposed to be committed to him more than he is committed to his wife. Sorry TA, being a fan of a player isn't unconditional love. He hasn't got any of the blowback Tiger Wopds got for cheating on his wife, and Tiger didn't get anyone else pregnant.

I just wonder if he can play anymore. Have the injuries taken their toll? Has what he seems more concerned about hurt his game? Things are not right in TA land. I hope he can turn it around.

Outplay Zach Remillard then pop off.

Bullpen game with Banks starting. 1 run allowed in 8 innings. How does Pedro try to blow this? Please no Lopey.

It's not only that, we aren't halfway through and akopech is almost at a career high in innings and needs to be monitored. The FO didn't even try the last 2 years.

Robert is pretty much a HOFer when he's not trying to yank it down the LF line.

When I was a kid my dad must of taught me some pretty advanced, s%*# since the White Sox players can't seem to get it. When he was a kid he was on some all star ream coached by Rogers Hornsby who hit .400 in the major leagues. My dad adapted his philosophy. Always look for patterns.99 percent of the time you sit on a fastball. With no strikes make the ball be in a small box you really like. With 1 strike the box gets a little bigger. With 2 strike you have to be defensive. If you're hitting too many groundballs focus on the bottom of the ball. You are by default, working counts.Too much air, focus on the top. Semns pretty simple. Sox hitters go up there flailing away like the just put $1 in their local batting cages. There was other stuff like using the batters box as a tool, but that was the just of it.

I don't understand why this ongoing problem hasn't been addressed one way or another. Despite what they may say, it means this organization has accepted mediocrity at best. Their paying customers should take notice.

Accountability isn’t a problem with the White Sox.

No way on Theo. JR would never pay him, and Theo knows JR won’t commit enough cash to be big time. But I do agree with the rest. Letting KW and RH trade players after watching what they have done with this rebuild, is beyond insane.

I posted after the first, watching their approaches, I thought 2 runs was the max tonight, but was really thinking 0 or 1. Eloy had a good game, and Benitendi did as well.

Sox pitchers 17 strikeouts, 1 earned run, and 1 loss.

That's because DPs require baserunners.

2 errors led to 2 runs.

Little League

Not a bad idea.
