Might as well bring back that once highly touted Astros 1B again...we can never have enough of those.

5-14 0-7 43-39 One run games Extra Innings Pythagorean/Expected They’re done. Trade Hader, Soto, Wacha, Snell…listen on everyone else.

Bieber, Snell, Nola, Urias, Giolito...none of those guys are sure things, but almost all of them will get massive contracts as the top FA pitchers on the market. Zero chance any of those guys are getting paid by the White Sox. Not even going to waste time considering Shohei.

One thing is for sure. Had we kept both Rodon and now given Giolito the Jose Berrios extension...the team might actually be WORSE off. Pretty doubtful they would've won the division last year even with a healthy Rodon...and it certainly would have prevented spending on Benintendi too, but the starting lineup would even be worse. You have to produce your own cost-controlled starting pitching...see Cleveland, who could deal pending FA Bieber and still compete if McKenzie could come back. They have the youngest team in badeball this year as well.

Abbott's already too valuable to the Reds...he's only had one bad start so far and is likely to be NL Pitcher of the Month or at least rookie pitcher of the month. Atlanta has a lot more pitching depth but perhaps not the desperation to make a move unless you really believe in the Marlins. Speaking of the Reds...they took a young player off the hands of the Guardians in OF Benson (former high draft pick) who has suddenly become an important contributor.

Except you can’t sneak in without your best pitcher…especially with Clevinger also out. Which minor league starter/s are you going to next? Touissant and Scholtens can get it done?

He’s pretty much leading the team in OPS, so that might take awhile…

Don’t encourage Tim to start looking into busty Perkins’ waitresses.

Renamed the Oakland White Rats…that will be a big seller of the merchandise market. https://oaklandside.org/2022/04/13/feral-cats-have-invaded-the-oakland-coliseum/ On second thought, Oakland Feral Cats is even better?

https://sports.yahoo.com/shohei-ohtanis-record-breaking-series-053840387.html Am assuming Our Chuck wrote this…not exactly a ringing endorsement for covering the White Sox on a daily basis, but what else can he possibly say?

Can't believe Lynn still has the lead at this point.

Mike Cameron four homer game? Or was it just three? Two good guesses on worst pitcher at this point in season. Giolito they had to keep giving him the ball as centerpiece of that trade. Maybe James Baldwin Danny Wright or 2003 fifth starters lol.

LoL.

Lynn still throwing harder than Kopech.

Inning starting off well after they just put up a crooked number.

Can't remember the last Sox starter at a 6.65 midseason ERA not under slightest threat to lose his rotation spot.

Guess they're keeping Giolito for the next Keenyn Walker...

Better start saying some Hail Mary's Our Fathers and Glory Be's.

Hit em where they ain't... winning ugly etc.

Piranha-esque.

Remillard 881 ops and on the verge of getting the Leury extension...

Merkin's offseason puff piece on Remillard was prophetic... second in OPS lol.

Burger couldn't be having a streakier season... wow. Time to make some adjustments.

Royals rally against Clase...man this division. Guardians terrible with RISP.
