We have all had similar thoughts 100 times the last year.

Maybe they have one but aren’t executing, but it sure looks like most of these guys don’t have a plan when they come to bat. I am not too impressed with the new hitting coach yet.

Hahn can’t fix 2B to save his life.

It just seems almost everyone they call up has a baseball IQ like they were just shown the sport the week prior.

Benintendi is sort of the new Juan Pierre.

I think we all know that won't happen. It's what teams that demand success do. Not teams that can't see fault in their ways.

I doubt the Sox score again tonight.

Lynn sucks.

The next time the Sox have too much pitching will be the first.

On this day in 2023. Lance Lynn talks like a tough guy after getting shelled in yet another White Sox loss.

You don't want public ownership. You want some rich person who can't possibly spend all of their money, but is competitive as hell, and not so concerned with winning the battle for the biggest profit.

I wonder how many teams that didn't win a series or win 2 games in a row the first month of the season, made the playoffs.

I still think the LaRussa stench is on this team. It was a horrible hire. i think guys like Heyman know it but don't want to come across as an ageist, if that's a word. But there were a lot of other issues. Relying on players who are always hurt to remain healthy, a rookie in RF, a 2B who has been Leury Garcia level for 4 or 5 years, not doing much with the bullpen even when your star was going to miss time, is not how organizations who usually win, operate. With the White Sox, it's the business model.

Personally, I think "Project Birmingham" was more a publicity stunt than anything else. Their system gets hammered by every evaluator. They do have a few interesting prospects though. I think they wanted to take the emphasis off of how little their system is valued in the industry.

Who in the AL Central has any less constraints than Hahn? Detroit, Minnesota, Cleveland have won the division how many times? KC was in the WS twice. If he was in the AL East, it may be a point, but he just sucks. Always has, always will.

In danger Jason? It’s been a lock since the 2nd inning.

There is an argument to be made that guys like Robert and Moncada and Colas and the rest might be more productive players today if they had come up through the Rays system. The Sox organization IMO is pretty rotten. When’s the last time a White Sox prospect, who didn’t play 3 years in college, came up and looked like they had a grasp on how to play? Almost like they don’t understand the game at all.

For a guy that’s supposed to be bad, his 116 OPS+ says he’s not nearly as bad as some thing.

According to Gordo, the Sox are trying to tie this game up. Probably so they can get walked off again.

Baseball Reference.

He’s doing much better than Jose this season. It was one thing they got right.

So now it’s possible White Sox fans are being tortured by JRs death tax , but if he was interviewed today, he would tell everyone how it’s impossible to make money owning a baseball team, and so,e will buy it.

The “window” was open about 150 games. The other sad part is when it was open, they weren’t ready for it, and didn’t have the horses on the mound to have it lead to anything.

When they start talking about it’s still early, we believe in this team crap, just remember, under JRs ownership, 4 other teams started the season 7-15. 1986, LaRussa got fired, came back to haunt us all. 1997, Terry Bevington last season. 2001, Big Hurt got inured, but they did ultimately win 83 that year, and 2018 when the lost 100. So as silly as it sounds, the playoffs are most likely already out of the question.

This game is ova.
