"Enter Call. The junior, who was credited with the RBI walk to win the Big Ten tournament, laced a single into an unoccupied left field to end it (against VA Tech). Star Roch Cholowsky was the first player to reach his jubilant teammate, seconds later joined by a sea of blue jerseys. They will take on Saint Mary’s at 4 p.m. ET on Sunday for a spot in the regional final against Cal Poly."

I'm certainly not supporting any of the mods lol. It's mostly the fact that nobody can even enjoy the current team on "either side" without being told how we should go about being fans. I've actually shifted to being 75-80% positive recently...but I don't need either affirmation or condemnation, it's not like "winning the internet" earns one anything in the real world. It's also not like winning a fantasy baseball league every year means anything either...it simply means I have more time in early retirement to follow all the other teams and players. I was always anti Hahn too, but that was for personal reasons having to do with one of my best friends' sisters having gone to HLS with him from 1993-96. In the end, ultimately, any praise or condemnation we receive posting about a sport many of our kids or spouses might find meaningless is just the fate of being a Chicago White Sox fan for life, lol...no matter how many times I've pretended to care about other teams during my lifetime, it was just a coping mechanism for dealing with bad Sox baseball. Just like this site. In the end, life is too short to get wrapped up too much in these so called board wars. It's more about keeping faith with those in my family on my mother's side who passed on their love for the Sox to me, even if most of them have already died years and years ago, well before 2005 even. https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/article/nc-states-season-and-head-coach-elliott-avents-decades-long-career-ends-on-a-pitch-clock-violation-in-ncaa-regionals-234553257.html https://x.com/JomboyMedia/status/2060784753393995949/video/1 Glad my 11 year old son isn't around coaches/fathers like this...

Unfortunately, it’s Ishbia dream world to think $425-450 million will go to Mune and Sato… LF Antonacci CF Lackey 3B Vargas SS Colson RF B.Montgomery (M&M Boys) DH Rotating 1B Bonemer C Teel 2B Meidroth/Carlson

Emerson has the prettiest swing. That’s it. And more athleticism (projected) than Cholowsky.

“Extremely athletic for a 6-foot-2, 215-pound catcher, Lackey isn't quick out of the batter's box but can flash plus run times once he gets going. He's very agile behind the plate and should become a solid receiver and blocker once he improves his focus and consistency. His strong and accurate arm is another asset, and he looked capable at third base while playing 13 errorless games there in 2025.” Basically, he has those longer strides once he gets going to make up ground…só that would apply to CF as well. But automatically one of the best CF arms, if not the best. LF Nishida CF Lackey RF Braden would give you the best arm talent of any outfield in the majors. Bonemer has at least a solid SS arm to play either corner spot, if he gets shifted to LF eventually…although here I moved him to second base. DH Antonacci (rotating) LF Sato has RF/3B ability CF Lackey 1B Murakami 3B Vargas SS Colson 2B Bonemer/Antonacci RF Braden Montgomery C Teel Best lineup in mlb potentially Sox at 732 with fifth highest mlb ops already

AvG .412 OBP .529

Seems like every Lackey bomb is 425+ these recent days...

They're not trading Meidroth at this point. That's his best position.

Probably gets the start tmrw unless yet another lhp.

https://www.ncaa.com/game/6599687 GaTech vs. Oklahoma now on ESPN+

That loss will stick with them for years. 26-0 when leading after 8 previously.

That situation was familiar...

Gasparino can run very well despite that height...

Well they're not #1 for no reason. Deep lineup.

Gasparino vs. fastballs coming up here.

The UCLA 1B Levu has been the better hitter. Gasparino the most dangerous...but highly susceptible to off speed.

Would be first #1 seed to go 0-2 in regionals...Wes Clements calling it greatest upset in NCAA regional history if it actually happens.

30-25 unranked team in the Hokies about to take down UCLA. Cholowsky struggling to stay over .300. Playing strong defense, but this is it?

Great, so we don't have to hear how Cali supposedly predicted something nobody else did...and then spend years afterward rehashing how they were right and the rest of the site was wrong. 7 year old behavior, right?

Why would they sign the very worst possible players in FA? Is Hahn now the GM? They could have signed Mike Soroka for $7.5 million, though. You keep praising Getz. So why would you automatically expect him to waste $85 million on bad free agents? All we've heard for nearly three years now is he how handicapped he has been by JR's self-imposed spending limits. As far as not cheering, just f off. That's just total bullshit to say Sox fans expecting more out of this ownership group can't fucking expect at least a mid market payroll when all the debt has been paid off. Mid market average payroll now is $130-145 million, still well below MLB's projected floor of $171. Btw I have been in hours more of game threads than you this year. It's 443 am right now and I'm going back and forth between UCLA and the Sox game. But I don't have a right to cheer if I criticize the payroll limitations? Whatever pal. Thanks for the how to be a fan gatekeeping.

Cholowsky flew out to RF Gasparino Kd bases loaded one out off high velo...really struggling with breaking pitches UCIP now 0/18 with risp for the regional VA tech pitcher already at 35 pitches after one ip

Why would you want to defend a large market team spending in the bottom 3? When's the last time that happened??? Are we Cleveland Miami or Oakland? Even MLB owners believe the payroll of every team should have a $171.4 million FLOOR. Which would basically mean doubling. You do realize there's a strong correlation between playoff appearances and payroll...except for CLE TB Milwaukee???

I don't remember KW having this passionate a defense, and he put up the best overall team record of any modern day Sox GM. Well, 2005 was just an anomaly/outlier and couldn't be repeated!!! The 2006 team fell apart down the stretch after being 26 games over .500 at the ASB...but wasn't that first half a whole lotta fun? Or, despite the highs of 2008, 2007 and 2009 ruined all the momentum coming out of the World Series. Back then, the bar was much higher. Look at all the criticism the 2001-2004 teams took. Those were mostly enjoyable teams to watch, too. But now we're supposed to be elated to be competing with the team in sole possession of the lowest payroll in baseball? After three long years of pretty abysmal (record setting historically) baseball...
