You think you're Einstein now because of five games? Act like you've watched the ebbs and flows of baseball for more than a month of your lifetime for God's sake. (Not actively and profusely professing the Sox now have a ticket straight to the playoffs means you're a hater or dark cloud. Would still prefer that to a Jonestown suicide cult or even David Koresh.)

Is the QO officially attached? Known for a fact now?

rookies or was it the 3B coach?

Colson and Murakami with exactly matching ab's hits BA is something else ... So is 14 combined RBIs from the bottom five spots in the order. Benintendi worst three hitters today across mlb. Waivers not yet close on him.

This month went from three future starters lined up behind Schultz to even bigger ?'s and yet another ? in Oppor. Pitching is such a fickle and fleeting commodity.

Then it's probably Bonemer. In an ideal world, Caleb is at 2B or 3B instead of corner outfield. Colson has SS until Cholowsky pushes him off it...to 3B or corner outfield as well. Or 1B if they can't keep Mune.

Chisholm back to that spot to increase his value/flexibility? And a bunch of older LFers...better off sticking with Antonacci. Vargas could also be moved out there...or Caleb Bonemer. https://www.thebaseballcube.com/content/player/361990/ Billy Carlson with years to go at current offensive pace...

Just like Sox fans get tired of barely having and not keeping good things...or just pure bad luck or injuries or JR/management decisions (2008 Quentin, Tatis, 2022-23 talent implosion, trading Sale and Crochet, etc.) or pig headed moves like bringing in TLR in an attempt to rewrite the past. Konerko Contreras and AJ probably the main exceptions who went out on their own terms. Thome, to an extent. (AJ isn't even on good terms now.)

Victor Diaz and Basabe, come on down.

Which is close to where the farm system is ranked ten weeks before 1-1 and 2-41. But Bonemer Braden and those picks push it at least back into the 8-12 range. Even considering current uncertainty around McDougal Hagen Oppor.

79000 tickets but maybe those were comped/giveaways to sponsors or schools, etc.

yuck!!!

Direct subsidy from State if tickets sold go under 800,000...or maybe it was renegotiated up to to 1.2 million? It hasn't ever happened. Then I think just once they paid a tax on selling TOO many tickets....which would have happened in the 2006-2012 time period under KW and certainly not recently. 1.93 million Under the current agreement with the Illinois Sports Authority, the White Sox must pay a fee on each ticket sold over 1.93 million in paid attendance, a total the White Sox have not reached for 13 consecutive seasons (not counting the COVID-shortened 2020 campaign.)

You’re going to be accused of moving the goalposts when even Fegan’s optimistic prediction was 79-83.

Kikuchi >>> Kay

https://www.mlb.com/news/free-agent-starting-pitcher-power-rankings-2025-26 who? Cease? Giolito? Imai has been a disaster Michael King wanted to stay in SD Gallen…same thing, home is where the heart is Ranger Suarez is the easy answer here…but would have required a 10-15% overpay

You’re overestimating his value based primarily on Charlotte numbers…

You're suddenly benching Meidroth when the team is playing well together? They won't do that. They'very already moved both Sosa and Antonacci to accommodate Chase.

can't sacrifice proper development for a couple of wins at the big league level Sale Crochet Carson Fulmer Vaughn Madrigal too many Sox prospects have been rushed to the big league level to cover up holes there Braden also didn't get any milb reps his draft year give this until at least June to sort itself out Hays needs at least 2 months of everyday playing time as well in order to boost his trade value...Braden is a very solid prospect but he's not Konnor Griffin either and still has to address the swing and miss aspects of his game before he feels all the pressure at the big league level to produce

Knuckle curve keeping hitters honest/off balance. Pitchers' duel so far in this one.

StL and LAD about to both be 20-13 Crazy times Braves only larger market team doing well...and Yankees too.
