Well, this is the same organization that spent months talking about possibly moving Burger to 2nd. Or we simply pick "average to above average" defenders in their decline stages who can't hit a lick. If everyone thinks it's unwatchable right now, just wait until a time when both Robert AND Crochet are out. I even wrote a thread last year about the lack of exciting hitters on the team that would motivate fans to watch/listen or even show up in person. But that's exactly where we ARE right now with Burger traded away and Robert, Jr., seemingly injured YET again. Seriously, we would have a hard time beating Norfolk more than 50% of the time with the 14th largest payroll in baseball. Without Robert/Crochet, it would probably tip to 45/55% or even 40/60% against the Sox and in favor of the Tides/Orioles' prospects. That's borderline unbelievable.

He was mentioned numerous times after Ramos and Sosa and was at one point in the high teens or low twenties as a prospect. We either believe in Getz’s OR outside perceptions that there was strong and steady progress in our second and third tier prospects or we don’t. In the end, it only matters if they make it or not with another organization. The revisionist history always becomes guys like Sosa Colas Rodriguez and Mena were never really legit prospects once they leave the Sox…and we blame Merkin or Boyer for overhyping them when you could only write so many stories about Robert, Hendriks and Burger last year.

Why do we keep jettisoning 20-22 year olds for 26+? Plus, we heard all last year how Burger at 26/27 wasn't going to be on the next White Sox playoff team. Well, who is, exactly?

Just shows how much pressure SD was under to cut salary. They went from Top 3 with the Dodgers and Mets all the way down to #14...right in front of the #15 White Sox.

Body shaming on SoxTalk? Unbelievable.

Sitting Colas for guys like Ortega Grossman Phillips in AAA might be even more ridiculous.

Speas was in Charlotte just two days ago. Wasted a lot of money on those flights.

10-0 Tides rolling again, still hitting top of the first...

Ley's give a hand to Getz for this AAA roster...best since Brooklyn farm teams in the 1940s and 50s .

Still no outside and runners on the corners. They're not going to have a bullpen left to contribute to the big league team.

They're basically benching Colas to play Grossman now...backwards priorities.

The KC DH/corner of.

But it was 5 for 1! Who we didn't even want to pay anyway. Just holding down the back end of the rotation is about all we can expect from Soroka. Just doesn't have that crispness on his pitches after all the injuries. No choice but to keep throwing him out there and hope he finds it again.

Well, there's no easy solutions stowed away just waiting at Charlotte either.

Norfolk/Charlotte game is much more fun. 8-8 tie in the 8th.

Speas getting destroyed. 8-7 Tides in seventh.

At least we have three front office guys and five coaches with KC ties. Would much rather have Witt, Jr.

Cannon at least got through 5 with only three earned runs scoring. Well...almost. 4 2/3.

Hudler comparing Fletcher to a RH Grebeck. If only he could hit like him.

I can't stand Stone anymore...and the VPN signal is coming in better on iPad.

That was prime Tim Anderson there.

Who had a higher average sprint speed than Moncada after two Achilles' tears. Just hustles. Sheets will be in that lineup forever.

Benintendi was the first ask for Sale...no. Then Moncada. Devers was going to be the second or third piece if they couldn't agree on Kopech. No again.
