Double Game 163 Thread
I was watching MLB Network last night and Greg Amsinger was on with Harold Reynolds and Dan Plesac. Amsinger kept saying don't let Yelich beat you, the others just kept talking about how Q dominates the Brewers and L vs. L. The non player was correct, at least for now.

New Owner
Also worth noting, the Braves didn't have Sale, Q and Eaton to move. I would imagine if the Cubs, Astros, Braves...whichever rebuild we want to compare and determine time-wise, this will go the exact same way with the exact same result, their timelines would have been bumped up if they acquired 8 or 9 prospects a few elite for some on their roster.

Your new Supreme Court nominee is....
Dems have to start harping on all his lies the other day, even the simple stuff like Renate alumnus, boof, and Devils Triangle. Those were all lies, and Flake said if he lied he's done. Beat it into his head he definitely lied.

Your new Supreme Court nominee is....
I agree. There is no way he can say no when ultimately, this investigation comes up with a bunch of " I don't remembers".

I would feel a lot better about it if the FBI was actually able to ask Kavanaugh about all the lies during his testimony, but like yesterday's news, that will go away quickly. My wife is an attorney from DC. Her ex was an Assistant US attorney many years ago. She seems to know how this stuff works, and she was questioning why anyone would be excited about this investigation back when it was first announced. It's all Trump, and won't come to anything. Buying time for something else is all it will accomplish.

I don't see how Flake can vote no if he said he was going to vote yes, but then they did what he requested and opened up a phony investigation. He is pretty much a lock for yes unless someone else comes forward. Collins and Murkowski, who knows, but Collins seems to buy Kavanaugh won't overturn Roe vs. Wade so it will be easy for her since now she can say, well the FBI didn't find anything...Murkowski the same way. It is going to take a miracle for him not to be confirmed IMO. They don't want the truth confirmed because they already know what the truth is.

Is it hahn, hostetler, renteria, the coaches, or all of them??
The chances of either are pretty slim IMO. I guess I am sick about hanging "good players" hats on guys like Yolmer Sanchez. I am sure he's a great guy and teammate, but he has no power, doesn't get on base very often, and strikes out like Dave Kingman. Yet he is a guy we actually like because comparatively he does look pretty good. Guys like him get you where the Sox were before they decided just sucking wasn't enough. We think there may be something there with Matt Davidson, who seems to have his whole game based on power and only hit 5 homers at Guaranteed Rate Field this year, and had a .602 OPS vs. good teams (over .500). We have Eloy, we need more to be legitimately excited about.

Is it hahn, hostetler, renteria, the coaches, or all of them??
I've seen posts backing up the window to contend a season, even two, based on his injury. So what if he doesn't come back? Are the White Sox screwed? If Palka or Narvaez become useful, that's a bonus, but guys like Giolito and Lopez and Cease and Moncada and Robert, at least a few of these guys, need to be what we hoped they can be. We already have Eloy in the HOF, so if he gets hurt or struggles initially, watch out.

The team blew when they "were going for it". Having the same people run the rebuild that ran that being questioned is legitimate. If this entire rebuild is dependent on Michael Kopech, a guy who was throwing a lighter baseball 110 MPH in the offseason a year and a half ago, being healthy, it needs a new architect. Maybe not the JR is cheap he is raking in all this money argument, but there is a legit question as to how this team is being run, from the front office to the coaching staff.

Your new Supreme Court nominee is....
This was the problem. Trump was running the investigation. We all know the Republicans are hiding things. The only thing this fake investigation does is buy time for something else to come out. But they aren't going to investigate anything that will put this guy in a bad light.
-
Is it hahn, hostetler, renteria, the coaches, or all of them??
I don't have a problem with JR , I do think he gives way too long a leash to some, particularly KW and RH, but using your argument, fans of teams for sale should be excited if Jeffrey Loria were to be interested. He has a title under his name. You own a team for 38 seasons, you should expect a title or two.
-
Your new Supreme Court nominee is....
Yes. This investigation will not look at anything regarding his drinking. It will be limited to a he said/she said thing. Trump has full control, Lying during his testimony, which is easy to confirm, because he did several times won’t be part of it.

Yeah, instead of giving up 7 or 8 he has only given up 5.

Too bad Hawk isn’t ending his career today. He could have yelled “history” like when Sever won his 300th and Buehrle had his perfect game, every time the Sox whiffed.

It’s all peculiar. If you get caught in a lie during an interview to make French fries at McDonalds, you are eliminated from consideration. Consistently lying during a Supreme Court process, no big deal. Lie and yell. It’s the new way. now Kenyannesays she was sexually assaulted. Did she or her loving parents report it to the police?

2018 White Sox catch-all thread
Fun fact, Matt Davidson hit more HRs this season at Kauffman Stadium than at Guaranteed Rate Field.

I would like to congratulate Rick Hahn on his 5th consecutive 4th place finish in the AL Central. His first season as a GM they finished 5th, but you could probably blame that on injuries to Jeff Keppinger. the AL Central, not exactly a who’s who of $150 million payrolls, and in 6 seasons, 4th out of 5 is the best he can do..

How would a 36 year old calendar refute anything? There are plenty of places he went that weren’t listed on his calendar. Church for one.

There are no such statements. The only one saying it didn’t happen is the proven liar. Her friend doesn’t remember, Judge says he doesn’t remember, and they were letters from attorneys not the sworn affidavits subject to perjury Kavanaugh said, they were. i would think someone expecting one party to have all the facts perfectly lined up from a trauma 36 years ago, would have his from this week
