Chicago White Sox

Very bizarre

Feels there is a pre-game prep / warm-up element at least contributing to the recent suckiness

Get Grichuk in and we’re right back in this thing

went still winning this game though…book it!

I think a phantom IL visit makes some sense

Imagine if you skipped work and this is how you were thanked

The rotation is going to be Burke, Castillo, Kay, Sandlin, & Thorpe before you know it.

God Martin fucking sucks. Thought it might be a fatigue thing, but now he just seems legit bad. Hard to believe after his first two months that he would suddenly become the worst SP in baseball.

Castillo apparently said he was coming off a shoulder injury when he was first traded to the Mariners and the changeup wasn’t quite right at the time. The Mariners then had him focus on the slider being he his key secondary as the org prioritizes that pitch and he never really went back to his previous changeup usage. Given this info, there is a reason to believe the nasty changeup is still there and can be ramped up as we saw last night. If so, this could be a far more impactful trade than many of us were thinking (including myself). I still like on paper we lost from a value standpoint, but if the dude produces like a #2 or #3 SP down the stretch and into next year then none of that matters and this will be a win for us.

lol…now you’re upset because they made a lot of money and actually spent it on things that give them joy. You truly are a snowflake.

Fegan is a writer through & through and he’s not naturally a great podcaster (although I still enjoy him in that forum).

Schultz & Sandlin were demoted so I’d assume Fedde is the #5

He’d have been a monster in the steroid era.

He has a 25% K rate at AA

Trades will be coming.

Meidroth is the best player on the team.

No word yet where he’s going, but sounds like he will still be covering the White Sox. My guess is The Athletic rehired him now that we are good. I canceled my subscription with them when they let him go, but will happily re-up if they bring him back. He is the greatest beat writer in Sox history and it’s not even close.

He’s going to be such a stud. So amazing we have this amazing young offensive group and still have Bonemer & Roch coming.

Got to be Tanner now

Let’s do this s%*# Tanner.

And there it is

Would be nice to get another run so McDougal can have the 9th

Extend Romo before it’s too late!!

Smith looking pretty good despite the leadoff walk

Bonemer with his 12th AA HR.
