Most of the seats you can’t see the flight of the ball in that park.

Narvaez make Dioner Navarro look competent defensively.

4 pitch walk. Awesome.

If Giolito can get out of the first, the Sox have a shot today. Abreu and Yolmer own Hendricks.

That would be a dealbreaker for me. If it’s in Wrigley, he needs to be in Sox swag. Compromise.

9-27....
Th only problem I have with it is Cooper is treated almost the exact opposite any other coach. Most coaches or managers, the player sucks , clearly a coaching or managing issue. They are great, it’s all the player. With Coop, pitchers can’t throw strikes, pitchers suck, hey what can you expect? Pitchers are great, it’s all Coop. There has not been 1 pitcher ever failed by Coop, while there seems to be hundreds of failures that are other coaches or managers’ faults. There isn’t a pitching coach in the world that would look good right now in a White Sox uniform. All I am saying is that if Coop really could walk on water like some seem to believe, the performance would be at least a little better.

Sox vs Cubs 1:20 NBCSN
I would bet more than half the fan base still think Kopech, Eloy, Robert, are going to dominate every level and become instant stars, and are expecting next year to be a 90+ win season. Any setbacks, and I think the torches will be out.. I think they are OK this year, since they haven’t sold many tickets, and won’t sell many more. But even Cubs fans got very impatient, and they never demanded winning very much.

Career .165 hitter as the leadoff man. That is just a joke.

Ricky was the bench coach in 2016 when it was all Robins fault the Sox didn’t make the playoffs. He was the bench coach. What was he doing ? Obviously nothing since he had no fault in anything, and he is now responsible for anything positive. He is a nice guy and speaks Spanish. Personally, and I don’t think this team is much better with anyone else in charge, I think Ricky is a bit overrated, and we may find out the hard way when the team is good.

They were really painful to watch for over a month after they traded Q. Then September came. As has been stated time and time again, don’t believe what you see in garbage time in September.

At what point can we tune into a game and expect it to be competitive for at least 3 innings? I’ll hang up and listen for my answer.

**President Trump 2018 Thread**
Trump spending money studying building more coal plants. Sweet. also on Fox and Friends one of the hosts put on a skit yesterday looking through the “failing, fake news”NYT. Saying he couldn’t find a story about the 5 ISIS leaders that were captured. He was correct, there was no story in Friday’s paper. They reported it Wednesday, even before Supreme Leader tweeted it. You have to love State News.

2018 MLB Draft
If none of those guys make it, the White Sox will have several more top 5 picks to select pitchers. They just need to take the top player on their board regardless of position. If everyone wants to be like the Cubs, exactly how many of Theos draft picks have started games for the Cubs?

2018 White Sox catch-all thread
The first 35 games after they traded Q, they were 10-25.Then they went 19-21 to finish out the year, mostly Sept. meaningless games for both teams. So 9-26 is pretty similar to where they were after Q. Then they did a bit better, but who knows about the September asterisk. Maybe their record is their their talent level. I still think Baltimore is worse, and will be even more pathetic after they deal Machado. I am not too sold on Detroit not falling apart like they did last year, and after watching head to head, it’s hard to imagine KC truly being better than the White Sox. Cinciantti and Miami are far and away awful in the NL, and SD is poised to make sure their draft pick is high. The Sox could finish with a worse record than last season and draft a few slots lower.

Trump cancelled NASAs greenhouse gas tracking program.. Global warming, climate change, fake news.

5/11 Games
I agree. They aren’t winning anything next year. Let them get their feet wet then, and have an extra year of control when they are going to need it.

Draft pick I will give you, but no way on playoffs

5/11 Games
Wasn’t he 2-37 or something like that to start the season? Since then he is making Eloy look like a chump

5/11 - White Sox vs Cubs
Well we knew Rodon was going to be out a while. Moncada has missed about 5 games, most have anticipated Avi to regress at least a little. Expecting a team to go through a season totally healthy isn’t realistic. 9-26 is a bit short of even what you were anticipating when you said 69-93. 60-67 the rest of the way seems a bit far fetched.

Everyone expected bad. No one anticipated a 41 win pace vs. an easy part of the schedule.

BTW for anyone in Chicago that eats at Chipotle, on Sunday it is BOGO if you are wearing any Sox gear. Cubs gear works as well, bu fuck them.

5/11 - White Sox vs Cubs
I read all the time on here the Sox need to call so and so up to work with Coop. Apparently Fulmer isn't one of those guys, as are a few more.

5/11 - White Sox vs Cubs
I agree that not trying to be competitive is bad for the sport and something should be done. But it worked for a couple of teams so until it fails with someone, which is a guarantee, it will he consdered foolproof. It isn't as bad as the NBA. Yet. There being bad isn't enough. Not dressing your better players or pulling them during crunch time is becoming common. Who knows, maybe Sept. 1 the Reds give Votto a vacation or the Sox tell Aubrey to go home and rest. If something like that happens, then something definitely needs to be down immediately.
