The better thread title might be “what would it take for you to come back.” I check in on the game threads but by and large have moved on with my summer. I’m pretty much down to just rubbernecking the train wreck.

I truly do you respect you always being positive because you do it in a way where you don’t bury your head in the sand, but you’re at least approaching it from a logical perspective.
With that said, I just can’t stomach the “Hey just make the playoffs and anything will happen.” That’s not good enough, and I don’t even think it’s totally true. Why? Because we know this team will get trounced by Houston, the Yankees and the Rays, let alone the Dodgers. They just aren’t close to that level. So if they make the playoffs…what does that really get us? I’m not saying by any means I DON’T want them to make the playoffs, of course I do. But we have seen more than enough of this team since last July. We know who they are. A .500 team. Nothing more. That doesn’t play in October.
Yeah, not thrilled with playing the Cinderella role in October where you hope to hang your hat on a surprise upset when it’s objectively clear to everyone that you aren’t at the same level. I envision whomever they meet just laughing their way through it in the dugout like it is some sort of inside joke they are playing it.

Not a surprise. Team was kind of hot before the break but you just knew the multi days off would take away that momentum. This as we all know is a severely flawed team. On to the next game.
Well before the break the they all had a collective snit and responded with inspired play after the rumors of discord in the clubhouse, TLR being days from departure, etc.
We needed to let that work it’s way through to see what the true reality of this team is and whether the last couple of weeks were a dead cat bounce

Just in case we need this stat for the future:
How many non-all stars in MLB history have won the Cy Young that season?

How did the Sox wind up the first half with the 3rd highest BA in the MLB???

I want everything thrown at this game.
Get a cortisone shot in Lynn’s knee, steroids into Leury, adderol for TA, shock collar to moncada for any strike three not swung at.
A real wizard of oz approach.
And pay no attention to the GM behind the curtain.

Non-all star Dylan Cease has assumed the MLB strikeout lead.

Quite amazing that there is literally a stat that shows when Leury starts, this team is one of the worst in the league. Yet Tony keeps putting him in every day hoping for that heater
No sense eating ourselves up about it anymore. His bar is so low that when he takes an 0-fer it doesn't move the needle but those few days he drops in a couple hits it just further solidifies himself as a preferred fixture in the lineup.

Bob on the Score right now.
He says his source is from Sox players and opposing players.
Great. The dirty laundry is out there.

Pollock is a better player than Garcia. Its not a debate. Pollock is playing like crap but he can get back to his norm and is still better than Garcia at this point.
Garcia has NEVER been good.....EVER. Pure insanity how he is handled compared to rest of the roster.
The stupidity of this organization is surreal.
Completely agree. When I predict generous playing time for him, it sure isn’t because I am on board.

How do you sit a healthy Pollock and Eloy?
Tony is so friggin desperate to get Leury “Everyday” Garcia into the lineup.
I am assuming he will be the 2023 regular second baseman. At least there won’t be the angst of “why did TLR put him in so-and-so’s spot today “. 2B will BE his spot.

Things look bleak for the White Sox at the moment but just when it seems like they are down for the count, they get back up and land a big blow. Will that be today, maybe, maybe not. Most of us here will still be cheering for a win. It's going to take a lot of wins to get back in the race but stranger things have happened so I'm not throwing in the towel just yet. Come on Chicago, climb out of this quicksand pit and get things rolling in the right direction.
“…just when it seems like they are down for the count, they get back up and land a big blow.“
This is why it will be a 78 win “ho hum” year and not a 65 win “heads will roll” year.

I could appreciate a low ceiling team that still plays inspired and smart fundamental ball.
This team is just an insult to me as a fan.

50-31 to finish the season?
Hmmm,…
Oops I meant 79. I sure won’t argue if 89 proves true though.

At what point do we all start to root for this team to crash and burn in the most horrendous of fashions so there will be no choice but to fire TLR, every coach, every support staff person, every front office person, and every grounds person.
They won’t even give us that consolation. 89 wins at curtain close. Total meh as they dink around all summer.

Thank you. I use to think we were a middle of the pack franchise. Then last year I was shown just how horrible historically we actually are. After that it's just been down hill.
Isn't it always the Twins to crush our season?
Here's hoping for the best.
I thought in their overall history the Sox had a .500 plus record?

This is the closest to urgency I've heard from anyone affiliated with the team all year.
When is “sit and wait” *ever* an appropriate strategy???

I don't know if the team will be a winner but the thread title is.

I don’t really care to look it up rn but when it was brought up here that he said it a couple weeks back, I found the quote and it was a little more tame than the Soxtalk translation. in any event, it’s clearly still affecting him atm.
This is an honest question. Every year something happens that causes him to miss time or lose effectiveness. Will that ever change?

Leading in strike out rate should be enough to get Cease into the All Star game. Besides fans love big strike out pitchers.
Plus his pitches are almost like watching a blitzball game. Mesmerizing.

What is status of Luis Robert?

I shouldn’t go here but there is no chance he could have venous sinus thrombosis is there? I have seen it’s a problem also related to fighting Covid?
