  1. What I don’t understand is if they think his mechanics are the issue, since he already had TJS in high school, why would they let it get to this point before they tried to do something about them?
  2. I’m old enough to remember when Marco Paddy was the savior. The more things change, the more they stay the same. There is one change that will help, and that doesn’t seem imminent.
  3. Still very concerning. We have already seen several nothing to see here moments only to ultimately turn into major surgery. His velo is dipping and his elbow hurts. Something is wrong.
  4. And they just keep doing it. I think a lot of it has to do with LaRussa. He loved to play guys where they didn't play. He once put Ron Kittle in CF.
  5. What Sox fans are so ingrateful. 116-255 is a perfectly fine record, and the organization should be proud. Now regarding Vargas, he’s played really well lately. Hopefully he can keep it up. Clearly what was getting him out before isn’t now.
  6. The city can’t pay their bills as it is. If you think they will give anything to the White Sox, you haven’t payed attention. The Sox only hope is that the state give them money. That’s a firm no, especially now with no idea what their pools of federal government funds will be for with states that didn’t vote for the current administration. JR is either going to have to build it himself or make a deal with Ishbia to build it for him.
  7. Nothing makes sense. How do you develop not getting chances, the one thing not being a good team should give players?
  8. It’s like most restaurants that post under new management signs. Most still suck.
  9. If scouting were such an exact science, Juan Soto and Fernando Tatis Jr. would have signed for a lot more, and several more would have received a lot less. But I’m certainly glad you are satisfied with the White Sox international operations. The fact is, there were players available at some point, but the White Sox are always holding on to a decent size of their allotment. The strategy hasn’t work other than for JRs bloated wallet.
  10. If the requirement is that someone has to build the Sox a new park, there is no way Arlington Heights is going to build them a new park.
  11. First off, if true all the players are signed, with this organization, having $500k left over is a fucking joke. Second, I’d take the chances of someone “popping up” over a 30 year old often hurt, can’t throw strikes reliever ever becoming viable.
  12. Hahn must be trying to get a Job with MLBN.
  13. Good to see the Sox giving up some bonus pool money. No need to spend it when you can spend it on waiver claims of 28-30 year olds.
  14. Since they are playing the Reds, this may be appropriate here, supposedly, Shoeless Joe and Charlie Hustle are now both eligible for the HOF.
  15. Probably but Amaya has a .244 OPS.
  16. Kind of a weird claim in the first place if you are only going to give him a game. That, and calling up Maton over Elko, then DFAing Maton for Elko was odd too.
  17. If he keeps pitching like he's pitching, he will be ROY. It looks like one move Getz got right. And in a huge way.
  18. Thaiss was going to bat 3rd for the first time since high school.
  19. More sad news, one of my favorites, Chet Lemon has passed away. Had a lot of health issues in recent years, including several strokes. Couldn't walk or talk during his final days. Only 70.
  20. Ron LeFlore took one off his head once with the White Sox for a 4 base error. Knocked him a little silly.
  21. Only knew him from his posts, but always was insightful, and humorous. I thought he was a good guy even though he was a Cyclone. This is so sad on many levels. Peace to his family.
  22. Andy the Clown used to tell the ladies "you really turn me on" and light up his nose.
  23. He is what he always has been. He peaked in college. It happens.
  24. Meidroth looks a little like Ron Cey.
