I use the MLB radio feature on XM when at the lake/driving any distance. Nothing better than sitting outside in Michigan in the summer and listening to any baseball. This makes the White Sox radio feed a better listen.

Makes MLB radio app a better option

That is 100% my take. He is a voice that can add positive content to White Sox coverage. That was what I was envious about him was that you got pertinent information while on a medium outside of the game call.

If the feeling is Vaughan needs a year at AAA this is a good move. If he does not, it is not a move they make as they still need a starter and RF.

The amazing thing is the attention at the national level. As a meathead I like it because it is a gut punch to the cub meathead fan but did not think it would be national news.

Farmer and DJ didn't do the world series. The White Sox radio World Series calls are more memorable because of who called them. This helps with the production and potential ancillary entertainment off the field for the team. Also puts a potential asset of the White Sox organization on the national stage with ESPN ala Tom Waddle. This isn't even a White Sox hire and beyond die hards is not even news. I think there is too much being read into Merkin and Garfein other than it adds a great asset to the White Sox brand and certainly hurts the cub and Marquee brand.

Nor I but I have tuned out

As a local radio color man I find him acceptable and would like to hear him with a professional like Kasper.

Am I naïve to think that there are opportunities with ESPN on a national level with this move? Whether it is ESPN 1000 or the flagship in Bristol. I would really like to know who initiated this move as his contract for Marquee had to be for more than one year......didn't it? Chris Myers replacing him it appears so maybe Len was pushed out.

I include Stone and DJ in this.....I guess I just don't think there is any weakness in the four guys and they all bring up the level of the broadcasting team to a national level. I think Kasper becomes more national now under the ESPN umbrella. The White Sox went from arguably the worst announcing group in baseball to one of the best rather quickly.

I always found ways to dislike Kasper as I hate the cubs. If you do not think that the White Sox have the best tv/radio combo in sports, not just baseball we will have to agree to disagree. I think working with Stone is hard and Benetti is getting better at it. Dj and Kasper will be an amazing listen. I would love for the Sox to do what Harry Cary used to do and move between the tv and radio booth during the game. Also will add a great resource to Soxfest. This is a major blow to the SCORE as he seemed to be on there often.

Or the team that got to the ALCS after losing their top 2 pitchers and their stud manager

Nothing. It is the enjoyment of a season and potential season throughout the summer into the fall and into the winter to do it all over again. The White Sox have won five playoff series in their history. Does the extreme of losing 18 straight playoff games sound enticing, no, but give me an 85-90 win team annually and I am fine with that. Sadly I am the epitome of the JR carrot fan. Don't get me wrong and this does contradict what I posted earlier, I do appreciate and find joy in the world series but I think I would equally be as satisfied with 90s Braves and 10s Dodgers success. I did cut off the Dodgers at 2020 to make a point.

I have received zero trophies. I suppose I could go find a souvenir world series trophy and put it on my mantle and pretend I am part of the organization. Once the final out of the last game happens I have nothing to show or gained for the most recently completed season and only have to look toward the next season. I am not part of the organization so I have never won or lost anything thus the only thing i get out of the White Sox is looking forward to spending a few hours each day watching them and looking forward to the next season. The playoffs and world series extend my White Sox enjoyment by a few days or weeks but once completed it adds nothing to my life.

Would you rather be the Indians/Twins or White Sox. Personally I'd rather have a shot going into every season as opposed to once every 10 years. If the cubs don't make the Chapman and Quintana trades they are looking much better right now that what they did. They may not have the World Series but they have talent currently. I may be the exception though of wanting sustained success over a title. Once the title season is completed, it does nothing for me. I take the Dodgers 2010-2019 over the cubs same run even though the cubs won the title. I'd take the Indians and Twins 2000-2020 over the White Sox.

I am not a fan of the hire but to expect a death spiral and implosion because he is the manager is a bit of a reach in my mind.

But this did not happen in his previous years of managing......so now Jose Abreu will no longer appreciate Jerry and the loyalty that he has shown all these years to the organization is out the window? I get no liking the move and feeling that the fit is not right but I really think people are acting like this is Jim Boylan.

Seeing as it was not even a role previously he can do no worse.

He is a televangelist but he has somehow overtaken the GOP

The President of the organization is not even qualified to hire football people yet he is the president of a professional football organization. They need a person with a football mind to run the organization and a person with a business mind to run that side of it. Ted Phillips got he city to build the Bears a stadium and as such who cares what happens. I could give a flying f**k about how pissed Virginia and George are currently. That means about as much as Matt Nagy talking about how everyone NOW needs to realize where they are in the season...sigh

Wonder who the mcaskeys are going to hire to find them a GM and coach this time. Is Ernie still doing it?

I have not attended church since March but give online. Every service should just be online with a manner of giving to local organization. We do not need to go in person at this point.

Podcast with Chuck makes you like him even more. Can no longer question his work ethic.

There is no doubt that Stone has the correct information. Why wouldn't Tampa ask for Robert? I don't think you make that trade but that is certainly where they would start.

One of Crochet, Vaughan or Kopech and Cease and then filler (Dunning/Heuer/Burdi/etc.). That is it.
