Stupid to look at the track record of Jimenez Moncada and Robert and what exactly SHOULD they have predicted if they weren't so "grumpy" lol?

Because you expected them to be healthy despite all evidence to the contrary...

offense/pitching fWAR by team Det 20.3 + 13.8=34.1 +4 def Min 12.5 + 13.7=26.2 -12.5 def KCR 11.5 + 15.6=27.1 +10.7 def CLE 8.9 + 11.4=20.3 +20.7 def Sox 5 + 10=15 -28.1 def (3 worse) Plus, they're (likely) going to be subtracting Luis Robert and Taylor on the defensive side.

Civale is obviously not starting tmrw. Bryse Wilson again? They supposedly worry about the PR fallout from letting Robert go for nothing in return, but not about the ramifications of Clevinger being back yet again? Did the A’s owner take over instead of Ishbia…?

Fgraphs has him at 1.4, probably 1.5 tmrw morning. https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&type=8&season=2025&month=0&season1=2025&ind=0&qual=1&team=0%2Cts White Sox at 5.0 as a team. 29th. Rockies last at -2.7. Average for playoff teams around 23-24 offensive fWAR.

"Over his time with the White Sox, Civale made 13 starts and had a 2-7 record with a 5.37 ERA, 55 strikeouts and 26 walks over 67 innings. While he has a career-worst 5.26 ERA so far this season, the Cubs are hopeful the 30-year-old right-handed pitcher can boost their rotation for their stretch." Bringing back Bryse Wilson clearly a big win...right? Saved some money on Civale I guess.

If the Sox "won" Vaughn for Civale...then they essentially lost in the first place even offering him a 2025 contract. And there's still no certainty about who plays 1B for next year, either.

He's not the solution either... Is a 720s 730's ops guy who is bottom quartile in defense really what the Sox aspire to produce as an example of success?

He basically skipped all the necessary development jumping to the Sox from AA last year...still very raw in terms of baseball IQ.

Sox have to win it here...or so it seems.

About to be KC just 2, Guardians 3 GB of Seattle.... Greg's prophecy coming true?

https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/46070566/mlb-2025-milwaukee-brewers-national-league-best-team-100-wins-low-payroll-powerhouse How they built "Milwaukee Community College" into a $115 million powerhouse... Andrew Friedman has trained and developed a number of successful baseball executives and coaches. Among the executives are Chaim Bloom, former Chief Baseball Officer for the Boston Red Sox and future President of Baseball Operations for the St. Louis Cardinals; James Click, former general manager of the Houston Astros and current Toronto Blue Jays VP; Alex Anthopoulos, general manager and president of baseball operations for the Atlanta Braves; Farhan Zaidi, former president of baseball operations for the San Francisco Giants; Matt Arnold, general manager for the Milwaukee Brewers; Erik Neander, senior vice president of baseball operations and general manager of the Tampa Bay Rays; and Peter Bendix, the president of baseball operations for the Miami Marlins.[26] wikipedia

Sure. Doesn't matter. He can't be any worse than Mead, and Vargas will be out awhile, so Ramos could get some rest over there.

Goodbye Arch Manning Heisman. DeBoer job security is critical...Castellanos at FSU jumps into Top Ten. Neon Deion's arrow pointing down as well.

KC also has a tremendous amount of sprawl...just on a much smaller scale than ATL.

Ramos is only 23 still but sporting just a 720s ops in Charlotte...like a 620s anywhere else.

https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/breaking-news/article/walker-buehler-released-after-struggle-filled-season-with-the-red-sox-184943654.html Might as well give Buehler a shot in September... although the Dodgers might also be looking for a reunion

Not to mention Robertson has probably been the least utilized player over the last two seasons... Why would a manager pine for a guy he was going to just let wither on the bench?

Why were we trading Davis Martin at the deadline?

Two brothers NY born?

White Sox have to have had a PR player since Jose Valentin and the Alomars. Alex Rios?

0 margin for error against Yankees. Baldwin baserunning. Catcher's interference. 6 walks tonight...three errors yesterday.

Just compare talent in the two starting lineups. Rodon has had another really solid season...will get downballot Cy votes.

Got clipped by Stanton. Things went downhill quickly after that.

That seemed almost inevitable. 2-0 center cut fb.
