They are averaging about 1400 a game more than last year. Usually in Sept. attendance drops off, but it will still be a slightly higher average than last season.

I didn’t see any replay that would indicate what you are suggesting.

Burned by Pair ez. He

Jason said the Sox are just better when Eloy is hitting with power. How profound. the mighty Daniel struck out.

O

I think we will get the decent Cease tonight. He will probably have one bad inning, hopefully he can minimize the damage.

If a guy is questionable getting on the White Sox roster, I really doubt anyone will eventually be too upset if he is claimed by another team. Year after year we hear about these guys who the White Sox can't keep and how they will regret it. It rarely happens. We were going to rue the day Jason Coats went to struggle with Tampa.

Maybe you give him a shot based on his AAA performance, but no conclusions could be made for what anyone does this month. 15 games are vs. teams far worse than the current White Sox. It's basically extended AAA.

A lot of season ticket renewals may hinge on Robert. If he came up and excelled, that would work out fine. If he doesn't get called up, the thought he will be in Chicago next year may get some who are on the fence to renew. He comes up and struggles, which is entirely possible and probably expected all things considered, they could cost themselves some renewels. The guy is a year removed from struggling in A ball. Fall League, A, AA, AAA...they would be justified giving him a break.

Hopefully it's a sign they are going to spend some money. It's not like the extra cash they collect, minus most likely more cancellations than new acccounts will mean much of a difference. But it does get the ball rolling. According to Forbes, massive profits the last few years, plus a new TV deal, plus most likely another 90 loss season seems like a weird time to raise prices. But they do have the next saviors in Robert and Madrigal and Kopech coming back. Maybe that will keep people interested. Plus the new 10 payment plan.

Makes me wonder what they will do if they ever get good. They will probably go nuts with increases.

29th time the Sox lost by 5 runs or more this season. Jason and Steve like to say the Sox "keep hanging around" when they are trailing by 4 or less.

Just so someone points this out, he is hitting .352/.381/.620 for those ABs.

Ozzie was saying the other day he needs more instruction. His bis feet and body are almost always out of proper position. He said that is one reason for his many sidearm throws when it wouldn't appear necessary. He does think he will get that down and be good someday, something he didn't feel a year ago. Supposedly Ozzies sons think he is the second coming of Shawon Dunston.

Considering all the meaningless games the Sox play vs Det KC and Sea in September, I really don't see much baseball value in calling up Robert or Madrigal. If these guys are like Moncada or Eloy or any other recent Whitd Sox prospect, this month plus the first 2 weeks of next season isn't going to make or break their MLB performance in 2020.

The claim that he is selling out for power is also curious, as he still has one of the lowest k rates on the team. The only players on the 2019 White Sox lower are Alonso and TA, each .3 % below, which is 3 more per 1;000. And Jon Jay.

Imthe last 12 seasons, the White Sox have won more games in a season than the Tampa Bay Rays, once. Robin Ventura’s final year as the manager.

This is the Braves 3rd or 4th rebuild since the late 80s. They have been below.500 six times since 1990.Rick Hahn is working on 7 for 7 below .500 as a GM.

How you pitch to him there is amazing. Who knows with Ricky.Some Wednesday night games vs the Tigers, he acts likkhh going the 7tttame of the WS. Here, it’s like it’s spring training. Letting the oppositions best players beat you with bases open won’t work when this team is supposed to win. If that day ever comes.

Coming from the guy who gave us such hot takes as Yolmer is a really good player, Alonso is solid, Abreu cannot hit for a decent average anymore then he hits .356 the next month, and moving Moncada to 3B is stupid, it is ironic that you of all posters,would claim others have no idea what they are following. You definitely love yourself though, I will give you that.

I actually know someone who used to do that for the White Sox in the early 90s for IIRC $50 a game.

The minor league season is ending, as is probably his contract. I suspect the Sox had told him he wouldn’t be back or at least he has suspected it for a while.We have no idea what exactly went down, but keep in mind MLB teams weren’t exactly knocking each other down to get him to come to their organization. I liked the hire, thought it was a new idea. I think Jim Thome put in a good word. It is possible he isn’t really a professional baseball level of instructor. Liking a tweet that says make you the major league hitting coach is nothing. I wish him well, but does anyone really know exactly what he did and who he helped?

I really doubt liking that tweet had anything to do with Lisle now looking for work. I would guess Lisle might have already have known his fate when he liked the tweet. The White Sox have really pissed me off lately baseball wise, and I liked the Lisle hire. But to say he was fired because the White Sox love their old school ways and he was trying to change that is nuts. Why would they have hired him in the first place? I actually googled Lisle a month or so ago because I forgot all about him. It certainly didn’t seem like he had much of a role with the organization. His twitter once indicated he was in Birmingham, but that was about it. There are a million reasons why he and the team may have separated,and the one many seem to want to hang with, seems like possibility 999,847 on the list.

It is going to be tough to make the playoffs unless this team gets going soon.

So that's how Jose got to 100. I just think sometimes you have to step back at least a tiny bit from WAR and try to be logical. The White Sox have one of the lowest scoring teams in the AL. jose has accounted for a lot of runs. Maybe, just maybe the hate a few have for him is a bit overboard. 3rd quickest White Sox to 1,000 hits, first White Sox player with 30 doubles 6 straight seasons.
