Chicago White Sox

Need at least two here.

Lodise with his 11th bomb.

Is Sandlin not pitching today?

You’d think they’d call up one of them for Yankees series right?

@ron883 - You can start taking some breaths. One down, three to go!

People continue ignoring this and simply overreact to streaks. The offense is going through a power outage, once that changes so will the optimism around this team. Personally, I have been very happy with the pitching as of late. The bullpen is really coming together and Martin looks like a solid #3 SP even if his ace like run in the 1H was unstainable. This team is legit and is a few moves away from being serious contenders. We need to buy buy buy.

I assume it’s including recent draftees. The back end of our top 10 excluding them should all be in play for upgrades.

We were 4th place in baseball in HRs prior to the All Star game with 129. We are dead last since the All Star with just two HRs. That trend ends today and we are officially moving out of the cellar. I am predicting a whopping four bombs for us. Murakami, the Montgomery brothers, & Benintendi. Those four guys are all going deep today…book it. If I’m wrong, @ron883 has agreed to a self ban that will stay in place until this exact outcome is achieved. We thank you for your courage and potential sacrifice.

Good opening stance. And glad to see we are flashing our financial strength, which should give us an advantage. There will be teams who will struggle to take on payroll and others who will need to navigate luxury tax concerns.

For rentals, that is 100% the right stance.

Definitely don’t do any research and instead suggest panic trading your only two good SPs who happen to be controllable. And even worse, we have an entire positional core in place and you want to waste that by nuking our pitching staff. Make it make sense people.

It’s absolutely cowardly

Two bad games and Parkman has arisen from the dead. And they want to white flag it while we sit 1.5 games up in 1st place admist the weakest AL in years. I am actually embarrassed to be a Sox fan with all these Panicans.

Any update on the PTBNL’s in this trade? I believe we were supposed to get two of them. @Y2Jimmy0 - Have you heard anything on this?

JFC the injury bug has been insane this season for us

Good lineup. Let’s fucking win this thing. Need to erase the stink from yesterday for sure.

You want to trade our starting SS while trying to make the playoffs?

I wouldn’t view any of these as long-term decisions except for Taylor, who they feel from a bio-metrics standpoint is better suited for relief. At this point, there is no real reason to waste time ramping-up McDougal when he can help the major league bullpen this year and has already gotten up to 113 innings just a year ago. I think he can easily revert back to starting next year and not miss a beat. We saw Crochet make a much bigger leap in 2024. Hagen is a different matter. I’d be trying to stretch him out and seeing if he can show more consistency command & stuff-wise as a SP. I’m a little concerned that he can’t handle starting based on what we’ve seen this year, but I’d prefer giving it more time before settling on a bullpen role. He flashed big time in the AFL and it’s a shame that Bannister hasn’t figured out how to reign him in. He can still be valuable in a bullpen role, but that would be a huge miss based on where we took him in the draft and who we passed on.

Who have they done with beyond Grant Taylor?

Romo really does suck.

Ugly

Gap one Chase

Need at least on here.

David was fine until the 6th. The bullpen has been insanely good as of late except Dominguez. Soxtalk jumping to the most ridiculous conclusions in a gamethread per usual.

Make it stop
