Just got an email from the Sox. Tax Day tickets. Tickets for April and some May games from $4.15? Get it? Tax day, although Tax Day is 4/18 this year. So I clicked to check it out. They said due to high demand you are in a cue. 49 people ahead of me. I wonder how much they pay for that service. Like there's such high demand for White Sox tickets, Ticketmaster can't handle it. LMAO. I may have bought something if they didn't take me for such a fool.

It was a bad throw but even if he got him, the Sox would have been in a lot of trouble with a runner on 3rd, one out, and not exactly a strikeout pitcher on the mound.

At least this game will be a quick death. Such a promising start. Then, nothing.

Round is a shape.

Im sure he knows that. I think he may be considering Eloy's next injury.

I just hope TAs knee isn't too bad. Let's face it, this is the White Sox. Playing with a roster a man or two short is no big deal. So if they are calling someone up, it's apparent they don't think TA will be able to play in a few days.

I don't think it's a question about being weak or soft with any of them. It's just the fact that the same guys get hurt every year, multiple times, yet the Sox model continues to rely on them to be healthy. Some guys are just injury prone. Jose Abreu wears no padding and has been HBP 118 times in his career. He doesn't get DLd. It may be luck, it may be just the way it is. Some other guy if they got HBP 118 times with no padding might have missed a few seasons worth of games.

It's really not a joke. It's players that are hurt all the time, and unfortunately, the Sox plan is fro these guys to remain fairly healthy. Does anyone really think Robert will play 145 games? Does anyone really think Kopech won't be on the IL eventually? Eloy got himself in great shape. People used to blast him for supposedly being fat. He isn't now. Still gets hurt. Kopech and Robert are 2 of the most physically fit MLB players, yet always hurt. Joe Kelly, they signed hurt and had appearance limitations in his contract. Of course he will get hurt more. What they need to do is somehow plug in some players into the core that can actually answer the bell. They had one in Abreu, but it was time to move on. They need guys who can play the season not hopefully 95 games. As injured as Eloy has been, TA averages less than 10 games more per season since Eloy arrived.

They aren't going to rebuild again. They don't have Sale, Q and Eaton on team friendly contracts to extract no brainer prospects from other teams. Without those, the previous rebuild would still be ongoing. Besides, even the slightest rebuild is admitting they were wrong. That is something they don't do.

Will people be as pissed at TA for being injured as they are at Eloy? The fact is, there is more than likely no strength guy or trainer that could keep these guys on the field. That is the problem with the Sox roster. They rely on too many guys who are injured a lot of the time. It's not their fault they are hurt. It isn't the training staff's either. Sometimes they just happen. And for some guys, they always happen.

NBA set some attendance and sell out records this year. Pretty incredible when you consider the price point of NBA tickets. Maybe it has something to do with there now being more than a few teams with a legit chance to win it all.Personally, although I could watch Steph Curry shoot all day long, i'm much less engaged to today's game than in the past. It's basically a 3 point contest. I don't blame them playing this way, I'm sure the math says it's the way to go. But when players are passing on a dunk during a fastbreak, and kicking it out for a 3..........I'd like to see them move the line out a couple of feet, and eliminate 3s from the corner.

If Tim needs work done on his knee, I hope JR has lost Lonzo Balls surgeons numbers.

Jason says yesteday

Leury would have made that play. Maybe.

Giving injured players lucrative contracts, and seeing them get even more injured, is a new staple in the Rick Hahn GM for Dummies book.

Joe,Kelly hurt? No way.

Strange it hasn't been announced. Maybe he's there just in case. Maybe someone is under the weather.

Unless someone is hurt, I agree. No one is going to claim him.

Besides, if someone was suspended, it always is appealed.

Im guessing the stiff they just called up gets DFAd and then sent back down. On a good note, the Big Baby was taking BP today.

He most likely wouldn't have fractured his ankle if he tried to barrel Seby over. Feel bad for the guy. 6'7" SS who can hit and run and throw are fun to watch..

Looks like he was coming at him to knock him over but had second thoughts at the end, and he just got crushed.

I think Ozzie thinks Kopech is Chet Coppock's son.

Who is the last non first round pick who the Sox drafted and developed who you could say was a really valuable player? To cherry pick a little bit, throw middle relievers out of the equation. In the last 25 years, since the Buehrle draft and follow, it looks like , despite KWs reputation as a scouting genius, it’s only Marcus Semien who they traded before he became good.

The concerning thing to me is this team is getting killed with guys like Robert and Moncada and TA and Cease basically playing about as well as they can.
