Better Sox outfield defense?...lol. No way this team wins more than 50s. Double play no longer in order.

Cannon all over the place...coming out of his delivery too soon. Out of synch.

Jesus Cannon...bullpen game yet again looming.

Not that cold today...50 and sunny. Usually umps speed up the freezing weather games.

Will be a shock if Cannon's not scored on again turning over Tigers' lineup...

Vargas/Sosa numbers pretty similar. They really need to be 700+ hitters with their defensive challenges. Robert 174/417 yikes Flaherty at over 50 pitches himself.

TikTok deadline just got extended another 75 days. Sigh...

Carpenter 990 ops against righties. Judge Ohtani stuff.

That's why 2B is probably his "ideal" defensive spot. Or LF 1B DH. 50 pitches lol.

Little dirt strip from plate to mound now gone...pitchers hated it, hearkened back to stadiums 100 years ago.

What is Vargas doing? Bear claw throw triple bounce...first hop behind the mound.

So we're showcasing Jankowski for a trade? More likely is Venable is playing the lineup he trusts most to win as many games as possible...especially in the first half of the season to make a clean break from 2024 thoughts.

It would be nice for one Sox middle infield prospect to put up a 2-3 fWAR. Unfortunately his defense really needs to pick up in order to do that.

Jankowski when he was "good" was a .240ish hitter lol. At least Taylor has SOME occasional power.

Desperation with two outs and Jankowski up next.

Baldwin off to a nice start. Dingler couldn't hold on.

Doesn't say much for Lee's future/trade value when Thaiss has beaten him out for #1 catcher...

Keith now only 4/7 with a homer against Cannon. Change up looks good. Only throws it 18% of the time but it's arguably his best pitch.

The sad thing is he was arguably the #1 starter entering the spring.

Just not getting enough depth on his pitches. Quite fortunate to get the first out. White Sox worst defense in majors for DRS after Getz vowed to have one of the best defenses last year.

Tigers 10 1/3 ip 18 runs 21 hits vs Cannon

Maton being our fifth place hitter/DH and Thaiss getting a ton of playing time over Lee aren't bingo card selections most would have gone with on March 1st. Another would be Jankowski playing nearly every day... Also fwiw Omar Narvaez landed on his feet as well.

If anything...it might make JR give up more quickly. As for Ishbia, look at KKR. Down 10% just today...probably 20-25% already. It's a blood bath. KKR's competitors and similar companies include Brookfield Asset Management, ONEX, Apollo Global Management, Blackstone, The Carlyle Group and Bain Capital (used to be Mitt Romney). KKR (Kohlberg Kravis Roberts) is an investment firm that offers alternative asset management, capital markets, and insurance solutions. Just weeks and months ago...many of these PE firms were suggesting a new 50/30/20 rule of 50% stocks equities/stocks/aggressive growth mutual funds, 30% bonds, 20% PE funds, spac's/Bitcoin etc. 60% stocks and 40% bonds used to be the suggested mix...quite traditionally. Those firms highlighted above are taking it on the chin right now. Might want to ask Steve Cohen what he thinks...

Not even close to the same color as the Green Monster though...
