Shifting is disrespectful.

I'm sure he will let the league know that he asked Rocco to have someone throw at Yermin. How else was the kid going to get a clue.

Ok, so what is the meaning behind it then? How is someone getting shown up on 3-0 but if you stand with the bat on your shoulder for one pitch then it's all ok. Is allowing the one strike some kind of participation trophy for the pitcher?

So why is it ok on 3-1 and not 3-0. Is there any logic to it or is it just a meaningless relic from the past?

How many of the 557 pitches were thrown by a position player? How many were thrown under 50mph? What are the numbers for 3-0 swings with a 2 run lead or a 5 run lead or a 15 run lead? Also do you have a link to McEwing saying he told Yermin to take? I haven't seen that so if it is out there I would like to see it.

This whole thing is just TLR trying to cover for the fact that he really came out of the dugout to yell at Yermin because the crack of the bat woke him from his nap.

Killer LaRussa impression.

Offered up as a sacrifice to the Gods of the unwritten rules.

If Yermin is on the bench tomorrow that would make me think the only reason he was in the line up today was to be there to take the HBP.

He is fixing the game. If he has to take his own team down to do it then so be it.

If this board affects your enjoyment of the team, that's on you. There is lots to enjoy with this team, there are also lots of issues. You don't have to turn your back on one to see the other.

With 2 outs in the 9th inning of game 5 of the World Series Nick Madrigal hits a walkoff 2 run home run to clinch a world series victory. However upon appeal it is determined that Yasmani Grandal missed the bag when rounding third base and is called out resulting in a White Sox loss. The Sox go on to lose the series in 7 games.

How often are you thinking he catches?

This should be the new MLB marketing slogan.

I'm sure they will have a way to scan the microchip.

Just make sure that mascot stays away from the bat boys.

The important thing to remember is that this means we basically got Giolitto, Lopez and Lynn for Avery Weems.

I miss Peavy, he was entertaining. It's a shame he was driven away from the board.

Nice to have some good White Sox news today! He earned it!

There is no way greg775 is a real person. I have always been under the assumption that it is just another member that has created a character to play on the forums

I thought that hiring Hinch was supposed to be the move that would cause the Sox to receive negative media coverage. Seems like the La Russa hire isn't being as well received as I am sure JR thought it would be. I sure hope JR doesn't see this as his big signing for the year. And I am sincere about this.

The manager in a modern baseball organization is basically a middle management position. I don't think the position comes with the amount of power many people think it does.

Sure it bothers me, but I believe in second chances. If it is deemed he is the best man to move this club forward then I can accept that.

So no second chances? One mistake and that's it forever?

What if his boss told him not to stop it? It seems like take every advantage was an organizational philosophy with the Astros.
