Chicago White Sox

History on the line…whomever comes in needs to deliver

Is Nick Maton a fucking dude?

f*** yes Shane!

I thought he was watching his newborn just yesterday, hopefully not mountain climbing with him…lol

That wasn’t the pitch

Good eye Brooks…wait for your pitch

I know not a crazy play, but Baldwin is just a dude

Vaughn chasing a slider to end the inning…I pray I never have to utter those words again after this season

How cold is it in Chicago? Does that go out if a bit warmer?

Brooks is just so fucking good

I worry you are way behind me…lol

I worry you are ahead of me…lol

A Sosa dong here would be amazing

I won’t fully overreact to what is hopefully just a bad start, but right now I 100% believe in Meidroth becoming a 2 win player is a far more likely outcome than Colson becoming one. Montgomery obviously has a much higher ceiling, but if he can’t hit velocity he’s going to be a role player at best. Again, hopefully this is just a bad stretch and he returns to form.

That was one of the more embarrassing base stealing attempts I have laid witness to

Wow wow wow

Both scarcity of impact players and constraint on roster spots.

Sorry guys, felt I had to do it and opening up a spot for Teel felt just right enough.

Per Rosenthal…no confirmation on the return yet.

That’s all true and I don’t necessarily disagree. This is going to be a very bad team, but I do think it should be a good 10+ game improvement vs. last year even if with a big veteran sell-off at the deadline.

Truer words have never been spoken

Mostly trolling, but as I’ve been highlighting for weeks now, this team will be an improvement vs. last year baring a devastating amount of injuries. The SP has been incredible and there is reason to believe the core five can be a solid group this year. It’s certainly going to regress a ton from what we’ve seen to start the season and at some point innings could be a challenge, but at least the talent looks real there. Honestly, the biggest issue there is the number of TJS’s we have experienced have always wiped most of our AAA depth. A couple injuries to the major league rotation and we are in big, big trouble. As for the offense, the HR’s are going to normalize and we are going to see less of these big eight and nine run type games (our .202 team ISO would have lead the majors last year, which won’t last). However, Chris has made it a priority to bring in more disciplined hitters and that shows early on. Our BB rate currently sits at 9.4% (17th overall) vs. 6.7% last year (29th overall), while our K rate sits at 17.4% (6th overall) vs. 23.9% last year (20th overall). The improved plate discipline should mostly stick IMO and will provide a much better floor than we saw last year. When accounting for defense too, this group will be better than the one we trotted out there last year and by wide margin. TLDR - The team will still be bad, but better than many were thinking and we are seeing that with early season play.

We have the second highest run differential in the AL behind the NY Torpedoes and are try only team in baseball with an X-W/L of 4-0. When will you become a believer man?

Yes it is, although with twins it’s pure torture at that age so maybe I was lucky lol
