THATS ANOTHER WALK OFF WHITE SOX WINNER
There was a time spoken of by elders when Sox fans expected to win close games. I thought it was just old people blabbing. Perhaps it's true.

That works. I like that better than two divisions and more wildcards.

Will Venable's Managing
To answer one question and to keep it simple if there are three options that statistically Option 1 is correct 45% of the time Option 2 is correct 40% of the time Option 3 is correct 15% of the time It's easy to be correct 45% of the time. Just keep doing option 1. The best managers are those who have a success rate over 45%. They have decide when option 2 or option 3 is better. But it is tempting to want to replace umpire and in game managerial decisions to a computer.

That's an interesting factor I hadn't really considered.

I'm 100% in agreement. I'll be surprised if we continue to have human umpires in 20 years. The rise of eSports precision will force the change over time.

Full platoon like football. Shorten the season back to 154 games and add a round of playoffs.

Future of Positional Core
The process is you have a surplus at one position and you use it to strengthen the position where you have a deficit. You go into that with an open mind and make everyone available. You may prefer to trade player A but if the haul is appreciably better for player B, you make that trade. The process is followed regardless of the player names involved. It's a lot like any other forms of investing. Don't get too attached to the equity. It's just part of the inventory.

Catchers, Catchers, Anywhere?
Your English teachers are smiling. I really dislike surveys "how likely are you to recommend us?" I'm not walking up to strangers offering recommendations and no one is going to ask me, so zero changes no matter how happy I am.

Catchers, Catchers, Anywhere?
Since the standings and play have me in a optimistic mood. Maybe the Yankees give us a challenge for worst catcher among the playoff likely teams, the solution is actually on the roster. Just needs rest and rehab. Corner outfield there are solutions in the organization, they need time to develop. Shortstop, again in the organization, just needs a year or probably two. Will injuries heal? Will players develope as predicted? The answers are out of front office control, but the plan is coming together.

Mat Ishbia’s estimated net worth has fallen by more than $3B since March.
So he'll foreclose on a bunch of mortgages removing people from their homes while operating the Sox at a huge loss because he wants to win a baseball championship? It's a beautiful world we live in.
