What The Actual F# Is Wrong With This Team?
So basically a cast of 3-4 to blame for every move that goes wrong according to their personal narrative with nobody actually held accountable…so Sox-like. Definitely not Soxy.

What The Actual F# Is Wrong With This Team?
Man, it’s a tough call which team’s fans should be more pissed off, White Sox after Buxton walk off or the Tigers fans after the walk off error that should have been caught by Grossman FIRST and at worst should have ended up with runners at second and third…but realistically should have been 1st and 3rd, two outs, Tigers still leading 4-3. Sano ran up the back of the middle runner ala Leury, and the middle runner was caught helplessly between 2nd and 3rd with a decent throw from Haase. As a fan, pitching to Buxton was close to indefensible, but that was just classic Harrelson meltdown mode out of Detroit…

Just don’t trade with anyone in the State of California. Or the Indians/Twins/Tigers.

The weird thing there is he’s pitching fairly well…not like the Glasnow spider tack transition.

Harrison feels more like LaRussa, Pollock hard to say but common theme is preference for NL guys. Even VV was mostly associated with Phillies. Cueto also a lot more time in the NL Central then West.

TLR 2022 Thread
Do you really see JR doubling down if they pull a Twins 2021 and trading Giolito (equivalent of Jose Berrios), extending Cease or Kopech and pulling a Carlos Correa level superstar out of the FA hat??? Not to mention trading Hendriks for a reliever and starter? (Note: Correa has been lousy so far, like Lindor in NY last season.)

Undecided, depends on offers/interest: Bummer Start exploring potential market/s for beginning in early June if no turnaround or managerial change: Anderson, Giolito, Kopech (control through 2025, would have to be absolutely blown away with an offer) Salary dumps to regain financial flexibility and replenish AA/AAA quality depth (plug n play guys like the Olson trade to ATL): Grandal, Hendriks, Keuchel (almost all dead money at this point), Abreu, Pollock, Lynn (depends how he looks upon return), Graveman, Kelly

Benetti doing MLB Sunday Peacock Games
If it was Pete Vukovich they definitely wouldn't be singing that damned jingle. That gets more run than Alex/Ursula Snelius and George from Windy City Limo in that bright yellow M&M's NASCAR jacket...

Old Sock Drawer, ex Sox player discussion
By this argument, it's better to switch to following Alabama football because they arguably provide the highest likelihood of winning a championship of the major sports in any given year. It's easier to be happy when your team almost never loses and you don't have to turn off their games for more than a blowout or two...but there's something unique about White Sox fans in terms of lifetime loyalty through thick and thin. Now actually spending hundreds of dollars on a product that used to be more family and less corporate is a completely different conversation.

But they were all TLR's! Hahn was forced at gunpoint into them...clearly under duress from rewatching his press conferences.

"Little Big League II" 12,031 announced tonight but tmrw will be Brooks Boyer's nightmare...one thing it will probably be a sub 2 hour game.

Their announced counting season tickets was under 4000 but it's going to be the headliner if they also lose tmrw.

I think we might beat the A's for smallest crowd in the majors if they actually count fannies in the seats tomorrow afternoon.

Connie Mack's grandson... Bochy won't touch this train wreck with acted foot pole. Plus out on the West Coast for so long and would be more expensive than TLR arguably.

We will be last in division attendance by the end of Thursday's game, somehow.

Detroit coming back against Minny if it matters anymore. Luis Gonzalez hitting for pesky SF. Of course he singled Flores to third.

Or Joc Pederson/Engel. But that would have required not picking up Kimbrel's option.

Plus it worked a lot better for Gandhi and Cesar Chavez. Fighting governments is harder than changing institutionalized White Sox culture.

Don't forget even Pollock playing out of position...RF until this season required the arm strength to make that longest throw on the diamond from deep RF to 3B.

Starting tonight with a 1.04 ERA. You can cancel the post game show. Two strikeouts. Hit 98.5 in the first.

He actually has their problems diagnosed perfectly. And no Moncada Robert Jimenez just might have a small impact. This feels more like a 2017-18 Sox game minus excitement for Moncada and Kopech.

Did they try to use the ol cold weather excuse for the walks? Can't grip the ball, wet grounds something...
