What's shocking is the amount of people who think this team is going to win over 50 games.

At least this is much easier to stomach when you're expecting this level of pathetic.

I like how this new guy that just came in had a stat overlay for what he did with the Angels in 2021 lol

The stuff looks pretty good though

Colson would have got that

Oh brother, this guy STINKS

At least Robert is starting hot

Picking up right where they left off

You, meanwhile, were 100% spot on. There should be a lot of people apologizing for the shade that was being thrown at you in that thread.

Yeah im with you, it makes no difference to me. To the people running the organization however, I am sure they care much more about it since their careers are on the line. I would rather see the young guys as well, but you still need to fill a roster with what you believe is competent players even if you are waiting for prospects to develop so I get that.

Because if this team was nothing but Colas/Canario/Sosa types they would lose 130 games. We don't have the players to stick young upside guys in every position. Guys like Slater and Tauchman aren't good, but at least they have played in the majors and been somewhat successful before. They either hold the place until traded or released.

To play devils advocate, Austin Slater has never been traded for anything of value in his career (which includes your stretch you listed). He was terrible last year, even worse against LHP, and is now going to be platooning on a god awful team. This is a guy who should be discarded instantly if there is a younger, promising, and controllable player available. To your point though, it was not a crazy stupid move, but this guy is more likely to get DFA'd before traded for value.

When we would order Portillo's to get mailed to us that's what we would do. Heat up the gravy and then you just take your beef and teabag it into the gravy for a little bit and then right onto the bread.

The dogs taste exactly the same, which is good. My only issue with the beef is the bread doesn't seem the same. Also, when it opened like a month or so ago, they had no sausage on the menu for some weird reason. They just added the sausage and polish like 2 weeks ago.

It does not taste exactly like it does when im in Chicago but its damn close. Being able to have it anytime I want is worth that small trade off.

We FINALLY got a Portillo's here, I go like once a week.

There's absolutely players in MLB who don't love baseball and just play it because they are good at it and its a job that pays a ridiculous salary. That strikes me as Moncada. Sometimes I get that feeling about Robert as well, purely based off body language at times.

Probably because it hits a little differently when you put out the worst season in baseball history.

Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to say that they thought they would be winning the division but the evidence to the contrary is JR adamantly saying they would not be rebuilding, Getz being hired because he is familiar with the organization and we wouldn't waste any time with someone else since this would allow for accelerated improvement, and also Getz throwing some shade at the AL Central being up for grabs every year. I think WE knew this team would be very bad, I don't think the sentiment is the same from the front office as far as last season was concerned.

There's really no evidence at all that the White Sox expected to finish last in 2024 going into the season.

You got to remember that a lot of people seem to think the White Sox knew they would finish last place last year. It explains why they made all the youth moves and let the kids play to try and develop. Oh wait, that's not really what they did at all.....

With the way FA contracts are trending, do you think we will ever see the White Sox sign a player to a 100+ million contract under JR ownership? Just assume he is the owner for 5 more years, it has to happen right?

He didn't mean you specifically though...

24-85 in non Corchet/Fedde games. How anyone can possibly think the rotation will be better off in 2025 is wild.

Of course he didn't win many games, this team had no offense and a terrible bullpen. He went 6-12 and the team went 9-23 in games started by Crochet. What do you think is going to happen now going from a front of the rotation all-star level pitcher to Davis Martin? The starting pitching this year will be considerably worse than last season, full of washed vets and young guys trying to develop. At least 2024 had Crochet and Fedde for the majority of the season.
