Jason away from Steve is about as good as it gets.

Schriffen would be a lot easier to listen to if the team was at least average. There isn't anything regarding the White sox he doesn't try to sell at less than elite. But I do think a lot of his schtick I would find enjoyable if the team was good. He reminds me of that Bear a few years ago who did a sack dance when they were down 40, and messed up his knee. A sack dance, a bat flip, all that stuff is great when used when its supposed to be used. But it looks so amateurish when used incorrectly. One article I read did point out he was at ESPN for years, and it wasn't like he was getting plum assignments. He wasn't getting fired either . So he probably isn't awful. 27-71 doesn't help. But just about every game there's something you can tell he needs to work on.

He struck the 1-1 guy out 3 times. Health going forward is all that really matters. If he has it, he's a stud. If he doesn't, well...................College hitters couldn't touch him in the zone.
-
You look at Smith and figure this is a guy who could probably be picked 1-1 some years. His only question is he doesn't pitch a lot of innings.

Every GM JR has hired, had never been a GM before. I think, and I may be way off, it’s because JR fancies himself the de facto GM, and wants someone who will just be grateful. He had trouble with Larry Himes, the guy who might have been his best. Set the team up for a great run, but was fired because JR didn’t like him. Larry probably told him to butt out. Even Hahn supposedly tried to quit after JR pulled rank, and he was told he would be held to his contract, so no pay and no work. Too bad, maybe a divisional foe would have hired him. I think that’s why Getz has the job he has never deserved, and shows this almost every day.

This guy is nice. The swing and miss numbers are off the charts.

Schriffin couldn’t get there in time.

The college ball was juiced this year.

Like Jerry said, can’t waste a year.

We were told by a poster who knows way more than us, the reason the Sox suck so bad was they had 3 guys who always get hurt, get hurt all together and early. 2 have come back and the Sox continue to lose at a record clip. So it figures we should be excited about Moncadas return. He is obviously the key piece to this team. They will start winning if he is healthy, like you’ve never seen before.

I read somewhere where a team would make him a closer, then ramp him up a little at the end of the season so he could start in the postseason.

BTW, Patrick Williams has still not recovered from his surgery.

Yeah buddy

That was immacculate.

No, but he shouldn't treat it like he's broadcasting the favorites to win the WS. I posted this the other day, if you listen to him describe the White Sox, you wonder how they ever lose a game, when the reality is, you wonder how they ever win a game. I've also said, if the White sox had the team a couple of years ago most of us thought they would have, I'd enjoy most of his schtick.
-
I will give him he has a next to impossible job. But give the audience a little credit understanding what they are seeing. If he truly respects his audience, he has to know they deserve better.

I am sure he's a nice guy, and I really want to like his calls, and probably would if the Sox were 67-26. But it's just too much. In the last 4 games I have actually heard him say he thought the now 41 games under .500 White Sox could get back in the race, and was marveling at how valuable Martin Maldonado was navigaing a rookie pitcher theough a 2/3 inning 4 run outing. What is he talking about? i get you are supposed to fluff things up a bit, but when you go obnoxious, you lose any credibility.
