Highs and lows of big league debut this inning...

Shingo Takatsu-esque Frisbee there.

Also who is doing tv for the Sox tonight?

Well this game suddenly got MUCH more interesting. Another hanging off speed pitch.

Switching to Reds/Brewers. Pointless to even watch the White Sox anymore except Robert at bats.

https://www.milb.com/player/alek-manoah-666201 You can practical guarantee this guy will be one of the Sox starting pitchers in 2024. Maybe if we bring back John Rooney? Radio guy from back to back WS winners in 2005-06. Would have to work better than TLR. Also totally forgot Ricky Horton pitched for the White Sox in 1988 after his time with StL. (We could use another Lance One Dog Johnson, too.)

Remillard looked a bit surprised there the ball had even landed in his glove.

Ten hits already surrendered by Cease. Sigh.

They can do it without Giolito Lynn and Clevinger for sure...even with the Royals and Tigers.

A full half "real" season without a homer now for TA7. Change of scenery trades being mentioned for about half the team lol. Maybe change the GM instead?

Cardinals announcers discussing what teams keep giving Andrus opportunities at this stage in his career.

Andrus the active stolen base leader for MLB. That version left the building long ago.

As long as it's not Austin. More yuppies there than the Northside.

Remillard is the quintessential utility guy. He's NOT the guy whose bat is so important it has be shoehorned into the lineup. See Sheets as well.

Who was the poster who moved to Nashville partially to escape from the Sox but is now back?

Can't escape from Nootbaar. He's on all the subway cars here in Japan advertising an eyewear brand.

No more managers left to blame when he chose Renteria and Grifol...was part of the brain trust that forced Ventura into providing cover for the front office after Ozzie left as well.

Cardinals' story all about pitching...lack of team chemistry and the ongoing changeover from Molina to Contreras.

Are we really all that confident in Sosa over Remillard at 2B? Guess they might as well let him sink or swim until the next wave of Popeye Ramos and Montgomery arrives.

Maybe Rick Hahn is NOT real??? If that was really the case...at least we could be mired in mediocrity. Maybe for NotRickHahn's next trick we can plug all the White Sox trade options into ChatGPT and come up with a better "retooling" plan for 2024...

Doesn't usually go well with starters, either. https://friarsonbase.com/2018/11/30/san-diego-padres-acquire-garrett-richards/

Chris Get sounds like a much more formidable exec.

Mentioned Clevinger, Lynn (coveted by other GMs who think he would be fine outside the Sox clubhouse) and Anderson’s decreased values as well.

Which players after Gio, Grandal, Middleton, Andrus, Lynn?

You are free to close the Padres thread if Preller does that. And Grandal already was part of the Padres organization, fyi.
