Clark, Narron, and Duncan are taking Luis Gonzalez, Zack Collins, and Yermin Mercedes numbers, but they didn’t update the roster for them. 17, 21, 25, and 32 are open.

That’s wild. I do remember 7:35 starts back in the day (for me). Pace of play has changed things. 6:40 for some games would be a good thing. I think it would be appealing to a lot of people that are thinking about what time they’re getting in bed by the time they get home.

NIghtengale is on the Score at 5;20- Spring Training thread
La Russa is number 22. Menechino has a new number. What that is, I don't know. Maybe they'll update the roster page one of these days.- Jace Fry to DL

If anyone gets the time Hahn speaks, put it here.- Pitchers and Catchers Report
The day we find out what number Lance Lynn took. Hey White Sox- update your roster pages with uni numbers.- Pitchers and Catchers Report
- Predict the Lineup
I already gave my answer, but how much would people lose their shit if they went: Eaton, Madrigal, Abreu, Jimenez, Moncada, Anderson, Grandal, Vaughn, Robert I wouldn't like it, but I wouldn't necessarily call it terrible either. We have a good team.- 2021 Plan for Kopech and Crochet
Long season, coming off a 60-game season. I'd rather ease in, see who stands out,- Predict the Lineup
Anderson, Moncada, Abreu, Jimenez, Grandal. Vaughn, Robert, Eaton, Madrigal- 2021 Plan for Kopech and Crochet
I'm going 6-man until May 11. If not 6-man, 6 day. First 40 games, 7 starts for Giolito, Keuchel, Lynn, and Cease; 6 starts for Lopez and Rodon. Then Game 41-43 vs Twins is Giolito, Keuchel, Lynn. At least that would be the plan until weather/injuries changes it. Then Kopech gets in there when he earns it or somebody gets hurt, traded, etc.- Pitchers and Catchers Report
Sox vs Brewers two weeks from now. Hope we get a broadcast schedule soon, even if they're 5-7 inning games.- MLB 2020-21 off season catch all
Seems like more teams are choosing to start at 6:10 or 6:40 for weekday games, Wish the Sox would have done that too. Stickin' with 7:10.- Pitchers and Catchers Report
Sox have a home game in 57 days. Can’t come soon enough. Sox/Angels in 50 days!- '21 rules discussions
Right, but I know what’s coming next CBA. They’ll keep it.- '21 rules discussions
I never thought they’d do the stupid man on 2nd in extras, but here we are. Just thinking long term with expansion, realignment, expanded postseason , they need to get it together so the World Series isn’t in crappy conditions, and the neutral site is lame.- '21 rules discussions
I’m talking post-pandemic.- '21 rules discussions
Now that 7-inning doubleheaders are part of baseball, maybe they should use them to end the season sooner. Play 12 scheduled dh per year, make the season 24.5 weeks instead of 26.5. They do that, opening day no sooner than April 1, and Game 7 of the World Series no later than October 26.- The 1972 non-move to the AL East
That’s true, but for whatever reason, they played 4 series against every team in the AL from 1979 to 1993. You played 13 games against the six teams in your division, and 12 games against the seven teams outside your division- a balanced schedule for all intents and purposes. So in 1990, the White Sox had the second best record with a balanced schedule and went home with 94 wins. Not sure why they didn’t play 15 in the division, and 10 outside for 160 but it’s MLB so... BTW, I love the idea of going back to no divisions and a balanced schedule when they go to 16 teams in each league. Play the 15 teams in your league 11 games...165 games with built in 7- inning doubleheaders to shorten the season. Top 6 teams in each league make the postseason. If the leagues go East/West, fine.- '21 rules discussions
Exactly. I don't know how they don't look at it as common sense. There's no common sense in wanting a man on 2nd base to start an inning. That's a gimmick, but I understand the need to not have 15+ inning games. So play the 10th and 11th like major leaguers, and if it's still tied, go to the coin flip, man on 2nd in the 12.- '21 rules discussions
Been suggesting that myself for years. It turns over the lineup faster for the best players that play offense and defense. But they’ll never do it because of money. - TLR publicity train
