Burke FB is 92 for some reason...now 94. Ofc the White Sox can't win if they don't score...only small problem.

There goes his 0.4 fWAR. Sosa next at 0.2.

Fire Chris Getz
Anderson was rookie scapegoat for offense collapsing second half. Mackowiak might have impacted 4-5 ganes defensively...but high profile losses.

They need Kevin Durant to show up for White Sox games to boost attendance lol.

The Gilbert strategy might work for 2 even 3 innings but then will probably backfire. Burke isn't used to coming into a game in relief...well, we shall see.

Maton has zero purpose with Baldwin on roster, soon Rojas and Drury.

Robert is healthy defensively at least...

Next we will be limiting Smith's IP since only had 94 last year. Teel is being managed too carefully as well.

Two up two Ks Robert is hopeless...Palacios never was anything but brother of Richie.

Keaschall got hit in the hand by a pitch too...curse extends even to "almost" Sox.

Have Tucker already for fantasy but regret not riding PCA wave...our league has no points for stolen bases though

No reason not to DH Quero if you're going to start Thaiss instead. Maton isn't a middle of the order hitter by any stretch of the imagination...

2025 MLB season...catch-all for non-Sox, non AL-Central
As reported by Kevin Acee of the San Diego Tribune, "Merrill has a partial no-trade clause that excludes the Padres from sending him to eight teams, all of them in the American League Central and National League Central. According to two people close to him, he said he did not need full protection. He wanted to get a deal done." One would have to assume the Cubs and Cardinals are the ONLY exceptions...

Viewership
That was probably Love to Watch Ray Run...by definition, if anything, there's much more competition in this market segment now than 10-15 years ago. Any type of monopoly argument would have been more relevant in the 80s or 90s. Basically the White Sox are in the entertainment business, but are not providing a compelling product. Business 101. Same reasons the Astros famously had a 0.0 local share in the early 2000s...but then went on an almost dynastic run for a decade following that when they put playoff team after playoff team on the field. Why would market forces do them the favor of bailing them out of that decision to not put a competitive product on the field? For that matter...why would local or state government help them out with public financing for a new stadium? Do better. Be better. You have to spend money and invest in your product to make money and build trust in the community.

Viewership
Why would Comcast give in when the White Sox are simultaneously trying to give their product away for free? Let's just argue viewership at CHSN is down 70% from what was already a terrible base or foundation in 2024 to start off with...for Comcast and/or advertisers you're not getting much bang for your buck. And you can make a lot more money off a surging Cubs' team that fans will (at least for now) much more willingly pay another $20 per month on the plus tier. No more leverage from Bulls or hockey fans either.

Except the A's are definitely on the upswing...ascendant...with that young offensive core.
