Just trade them Jimenez before he gets hurt yet again. No way they pick up some of those more expensive option years.

57 pitches....in a rush to get out of the clubhouse for that steak dinner.

Was about to say don't go out and bet the house on the Sox....two great at bats from Harris and then Acuna down 0-2 battling back.

Not if he puts up 40+ homers and 80+ steals. Unreal. Lynn back to playoff quality opponent woes.

Only thing that can stop Acuna. Uh oh. Getting hit in the face/lip by his chain.

Only the Yankees of 2019 ahead of ATL at 31...homers in 28 consecutive games now.

23rd homer already surrendered? Somehow he's getting Ks at 92-93.

We shouldn't have called out Rosario lol.

Strider with four pitches at 100-101 there. Pitch count way too high to threaten Clemens Wood etc.

Now we have a game. 3-0. Two key hits flares off the end of the bat.

Knew TA wasn't going to come through with RISP.

Looks like a rope in the box score. 20 RBIs for Benintendi.

"White Sox in a good position to break through." Braves' radio doesn't know the Sox.

101 mph EV off 98. Both hits with two strikes.

Btw, should we be cheering for the Cubs to go on a mini-run again so they can't trade Stroman and Bellinger?

Will 9 1/2 games back after tonight force the White Flag up?

Dead...done in by the bullpen one too many times. Reboot time.

Remillard moving up to 7th tells you a lot about the bottom of the order.

MI 7 very entertaining...doesn't even feel long with all the action.

Even Keppy/Keppinger? LaRoche? Escobar? Holland? Jay/Alonso? Encarnacion? Beckham and Bonifacio?

Worked well with Lopez. He has to get that crisp slider back...for one thing. Just can't imagine him holding up as a closer though, purely from a mental standpoint. Gets rattled too easily.

The real killer is that they were counting on their "championship window" to boost their next tv deal, which has to be renegotiated again soon as the one signed in 2018 or 2019 was for just five years. What once looked like it could be an increase of $15-25 million per season will end up going the other direction at this rate....into further discounting based on horrific ratings. Then losing Benetti and likely Stone as well. So let's say a hit overall (at least projected) of $35-55 million is going to hit the payroll (the other revenue hit quoted/outlined above)...and another 20-25% will be chopped off the attendance with a rebuild... bottoming out eventually in that 1.2-1.4 million range in 2024-25. $140-155 is a pretty realistic payroll range for next year IMO. Could be "just" $125-140 million for 2025.

https://www.espn.com/mlb/attendance Better than six teams (for) now. Team for which lowest-attended game is down year over year (11): Orioles (21%), Reds (20%), Red Sox (15%), White Sox (10%), Rockies (10%), Royals (12%), Brewers (12%), Angels (10%), Nationals (8%), Braves (7%), Tigers (4%). These numbers were from April. Pretty sure you can scratch the Orioles Reds Brewers Braves and MAYBE the Angels now. That leaves the Red Sox White Sox Rockies Royals Nationals and Tigers as the six who've seen clear decreases from 2022.

Not exactly/completely. 50/50 with Eloy Anderson Moncada Bummer Robert Vets Keuchel Lynn Grandal Kimbrel Pollock Benintendi Hendriks

LoL. "Hopefully, this trend will cause them to make some changes from top to bottom. They need to revamp the front office and the product on the field. This rebuild has been a failure, as they haven’t even won a playoff series, let alone more than one game in either of the two series they played. White Sox fans need to keep this up, as it will be the only way change will happen. If the Sox are losing money, maybe then they will make smart decisions." https://www.sportsmockery.com/chicago-white-sox/white-sox-attendance-numbers-are-down-significantly/
