  1. Or that. Beaten by Bichette's defense. Great place for Grandal to come up. Like Harrison high in the order the other day.
  2. Station to station attack requires at least 3 if not 4 hits in a row unfortunately.
  3. Everyone with TOR thinks he has the stuff to be their next closer, though. Harrison buys himself another start.
  4. This reliever has a crazy arsenal for a non starter. But mostly getting hurt on his high 90's fastball.
  5. Springer tied for 4th all-time MLB with Ian Kinsler with 48 leadoff homers.
  6. 2-0 lead if Sheets hitting against the White Sox outfield defense...
  7. Pollock doesn't have the opportunity to redeem himself unless PHer defensive replacement for Vaughn or PRer. White Sox 15-11 their last 26.
  8. That ball kept drifting and carrying. Great 0-2 count hitting considering it probably wasn't even a strike.
  9. Tony "likes his strike zone command." Blue Jays announcers say "somewhat of a surprise to see one of the worst hitters in baseball leading off." Guess TLR still believes it's 2021?
  10. If only he could be the next Carlos Quentin, too tightly wound, and too hard on himself. Kind of a strange situation in terms of the lack of clarification. Not exactly forthcoming. In the NBA, like with Ayton/Williams, you get 100 articles within 24-48 hours.
  11. White Sox lead all of MLB in catastrophic-looking injuries as well as injuries that look to be season-altering but turn out to be more innocuous during this current 2021-22 stretch.
  12. So the odds are 10.6% not accounting for additional playoff teams included and a historically mediocre division. Feels like closer to 15-20% maybe.
  13. Even Pollock coming off a 3 fWAR season looks curiously absent. But can’t play since Gausman is right-handed I guess. The turf in Toronto does him no favors healthwise, but my god, this looks the opposite of promising. Playing Vaughn in LF and Sheets in RF on a much speedier surface is beyond idiotic.
  14. https://www.espn.com/mlb/insider/story/_/id/33976619/who-juan-soto-help-most-traded-all-29-other-mlb-teams-find-out Good thing they didn’t have to place the entire Sox minor league system into a potential deal. And that’s #9 in the projection models without accounting for Anderson’s absence. But perhaps this provides those in the rebuilding/retooling camp reasons for optimism. Of course, the offseason was Hahn’s best opportunity to add a 4+ fWAR guy. Fortunately, as well, the Twins are now down 4 starting pitchers, Correa out again and Buxton hasn’t even been able to play in the field more than a handful of games and has been ouchy and also not hitting a lick. 3-4 in this particular stretch looked like it was going to be 4-3 or likely 5-2, so they’re just +10 instead of +12-14, still providing at least a ray of hope before TLR’s roster management can extinguish it.
  15. Need to wait until the division lead is at least 6-7 games to start becoming concerned. And we're first in wild card trailing list. Unfortunately, all those teams have more favorable RS/RA. For example, even Cubs at -9 but -10 in the actual standings. Sox .500 but in the -40s.
  16. If there was ever a time they more desperately needed his bat in the lineup...not sure when that would have been.
  17. Nobody is right yet. And the White Sox gain no advantage on the trade market being 100% forthcoming. As PTAC asserted, a lot of fuzziness between Grade 1-2 tears.
  18. "Cal Mitchell reaches on a fielding error by first baseman Freddie Freeman. Michael Chavis scores." Would have had the blown save still, but two outs with a runner in scoring position to preserve the tie. Sounds quite similar to Sox boxscores the last two seasons. 4.80 ERA
  19. His very jersey number is even connected to a yoga principle/tenet.
  20. In between Bohm and Singer? Or Brady was 6?
  21. Throw both Matt Ruiz and Jose Foster in with Mendick, and you've got yourself a deal.
  22. Going to have to report this to Ron883 for a "cease and desist" order. Seems like a personal attack. Lol. "Psycho." Seriously, anyone who supports this organization right now is the very definition of a Stockholm Syndrome survivor. And I actually do have a good friend who writes to various Sox personnel via their chisox.com e-mail addresses, but it's more for therapeutic purposes, not with the belief anything would possibly change. Finally, no sponsors would care a whit about what someone without season tickets living in another country has to say about the White Sox.
