4/12 game thread vs Boston 3:10 first pitch
Ramos is weeks away... Meidroth needed to make a better relay throw to third on the feed from Robert...has to get the ball there on a line without bouncing it.

Isn't that true for 20-25% of women (and men)?

Sosa chasing 18 inches out of the zone. Battle of Narvaez cousins. Romy walk machine as well.

Oops they are two years off. But that sounds a lot older somehow. Vargas should have put that in his pocket. Opponents 5/48 vs. Perez so far Drains by James they give a poop about your pipes thought BrandonMrFinance.com was bad lol

Maton 5/28 now...might want to move him down. Great play by Bregman to get Robert.

Martin Perez is just 32...feels like he's going on 42. Been around so long and with so many teams but really popular teammate, excellent makeup. With Red Sox from 2020-21.

Red Sox were "spooked" yesterday by small crowd and cold weather conditions lol...that's a new one. At least their broadcasters are creative. Romy 7/16 start 0-2 count to a walk

Fire Chris Getz
Because Taylor has the most potentially dominant stuff in the system... But it could be McDougal or Oppor I guess...

Romy vs. Meidroth...Crochet/Gio vs. Booser Grudge matches on. Also Ishbia had good reason for not buying the Twins...heading for 4-10.

If there wasn't one year to waste...then the 2026 White Sox should be on the verge of the WS lol. Ofc thos year's Sox team doesn't have Konerko Crede Rowand Buehrle Jon Garland Cotts and Marte already rostered...and who will play the role of Jenks? Grant Taylor?

Chase Meidroth getting promoted
https://sonsofsamhorn.net/index.php?threads/chase-meidroth.42476/ "This is intentionally deceptive because Pedroia showed a lot more power than Meidroth has below AAA. That was the only level he didn't have an ISO above .160. He had an ISO of .184 in AA for example. So you knew there was power possibility there. Meidroth has never had an ISO above .122 except for a small sample in A ball."

Sox "way behind everyone else" Lance Lynn
Name one new GM who has ever been fired before Year 3 of a complete rebuild? Most have been given 3-4 years at a minimum. Chaim Bloom even got almost four years...but had Boston in the AL Championship series in Year 2 and then was forced to let Betts and Bogaerts go by John Henry.

Sox "way behind everyone else" Lance Lynn
Luhnow created the foundation of a team that has gone to the playoffs 9 out of the past 10 years...won two WS...and won 4 out of 7 AL Championships from 2017 to 2023. Getz and Luhnow don't belong in the same sentence together. "But now, eight years after Luhnow left the Cardinals and went on to shape the juggernaut Astros, Cardinals fans are starting to see the hole his departure left behind. Many members of the Cardinals’ front office didn’t fully embrace Luhnow’s unique approach to analytics, and he became a controversial figure around the organization. But when he delivered results draft after draft, the tide started to turn in his favor. Now, after an Astros championship with Luhnow as the general manager, he seems to be the head architect of baseball success. But Luhnow didn’t seem to be truly appreciated until he worked his magic with the Astros, transforming them from basement dwellers to World Series champions. The Astros are now the leader in analytics among MLB teams — the position the Cardinals held several years ago."

CNBC lists Ishbias as co-owners of Sox with 2025 purchase date
This is all just like updating a Wikipedia page...someone at that site simply made an assumption or educated guess and perhaps it turned out to be inaccurate. Although one might reach the conclusion JR will deny anything until the bitter end.

Crochet speaks...
It's not that big a deal. Any player leaving the White Sox for the teams on the coasts that consistently draw 30,000+ per night might have that very same feeling. Basically...our record is like that of a AAA team playing in the majors the last 2-3 seasons. Or let's say an Athletics or Rays' player left those organizations for the Dodgers Mets Phillies Yankees...would probably express similar sentiments. Heck, any AL Central player departing might feel the same.

This could have come from your twin at Brewersfanatic.com "Teams do have scouts watching velocity, command, secondary offerings in the Southern League and there is advanced tracking technology there too. Every team is going to have their list of the top 300-500 prospects with scouting reports, maybe even more minor league players than that. With the scarcity of starting pitching it is obvious if any other team in the major leagues had an inkling that after 157 minor league innings and just 6 AAA innings, Shane Smith was ready to step into a big league rotation and get batters out, they would have tried to acquire him from Milwaukee. The other reality lost in the hindsight is, even if the Brewers had added Smith to the Brewers 40 man roster. If Hall, Ashby. Myers etc. had stayed healthy in Camp, Smith almost assuredly would’ve been one of the first reassignments to the minor league side. Who knows, maybe Shane Smith will be the pitching version of Albert Pujols coming from nowhere to the HOF seemingly overnight, but so far it’s 2 games and 11+ innings."

White Sox score more than Red Sox!
Teel hasn't been going that well the last week or so... At any rate, they still have to make determination on Vargas and Sosa as well. Everyone pretty much knows what Elko is and isn't already.

White Sox score more than Red Sox!
The entire complexion of the organization...as well as the very sport itself. Chicks dig walks...a walk is as good as a hit.

When will MLB Step In?
But where has that valuation gone since 2006 or since 2010-2012 vis a vis other franchises? From 8th or 9th in the majors all the way back to 17th.

Obviously it was Walter McInven...since he worked for MIL last year.
