    Why Covey instead of Cease?  Is Hahn trying to lose on purpose?

     

    I have thought about that too. But I think given the makeup of the staff right now, considering its a complete dumpster fire, they want to let Cease just pitch in a relaxed controlled environment. 

    The real issue is:

    Gio and Rey-Trajectory says great arms, terrible consistency. 2019? Same ole same ole. Neither able to follow up great performances with any momentum.

    Carlos-Trajectory says injury problems. Current status? IR

    Kopech and Dunning, two of the three most promising arms are currently in TJS rehab

    After this we have fodder like Nova, Banuelos,Covey and any "outside the organization" scrub we can cobble up to complete this terrible pitching situation. The back end of the bullpen is actually pretty good--IF we can get to it. 

    The Sox have ZILCH outside of that mess. Injured guys, inconsistent guys, guys who just are not that good. 

    Putting Cease into this frying pan just isn't a good idea I think. I think IF (big IF) the Sox get Rey and Gio pitching consistently, Rodon comes back and the Sox as a whole begin to play more consistent, quality baseball THEN we'll see Dylan Cease. Basically, you become a product of your environment, so before we bring up Cease the Sox need to cultivate a positive environment for their pitchers, and right now it's pretty damn  ugly. I turned to game off last night after 7 runs were scored and Renteria was sitting on his hands doing nothing while Boston was partaking in batting practice against Manny.

    Gotta admit this sucks ass, the litany of gut punches starting last year when Kopech went on the table have taxed me a lot. But what am I to do? For better or worse I am a White Sox fan period. Been one since 1977 and have put up with all kinds of shit. This is just another thing to put up with. I DO want those two guys brought in for Machado jettisoned as soon as possible. They will be a constant reminder of the Sox failure to land a key UFA. I think then and only then can we really start focusing on the future. 

     

  3. It really sucks right now. Spring Training should bring renewed hope, but man this off season has sapped any energy I had. It all started when Kopech blew out his arm last year and it has been pretty bad since. Yes I like adding to the pen, but holy cow these bums they landed to "entice" Machado is clown shoes level stuff. Unless Rodon blossoms this year and Gio and Rey can finally become middle rotation or better pitchers and the pen backs them up, this season has the makings of a real dumpster fire. 

    I guess I am saying, "there is a chance". LOL

    Can't wait for Rick Hahn's #soxmath when he demonstrates that the Sox have spent the money they promised to spend.

    Maybe Denard Span will be part of that equation.

     

    White Sox are the team that goes broke in a dollar store.

     

    Pure classic stuff right here.

    HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!    Based on the way this off-season has gone, it’s only fitting it’s the 100yr Anniversary of the infamous BLACK SOX

    Haha. The season couldn't be getting going on a worse way. At least we can still debate the merits of whether Joe Jackson actually tanked or if Buck Weaver should have been reinstated. And there is even debate if Charlie Comiskey was "as cheap" as they say. I don't believe that debate, because had CC decided to spend money on players in the future, he could have turned the sox into what the Yankees became, because NYY DID spend money, buy players from other teams. The 1919 Sox could have been a dynasty and a foundation for a legacy of success. It was right in front of Comiskey and he failed to see it, then the Yankees used the model to glorious success.
