Chicago White Sox

Verdugo?

I’ve been happy with Eaton so far, but it’s WAY too early for this thread. Let’s also not forget that a big reason people were concerned with an Eaton signing was because of Adam’s history of missing time. Hopefully he can remain healthy, but him having one strong month doesn’t change anything there.

Luckily the Rangers read the Soxtalk scouting reports and were playing Nicky shallow!

Fuck the haters

Holy duck now I’m getting worried about the HRs

Yup, Soxtalk would have imploded

Why the fuck is he running?

Panther going to fuck Gibson up I reckon

Good efficient inning

Would somehow be awesome if Dallas could go six tonight

I’m a Yaz fan but I can respect this viewpoint and I certainly know how frustrating he can be when he’s dropping pitches and hitting into double plays.

Not trying to be a dick, but that’s because you and many others here are completely irrational when it comes to the main Soxtalk whipping boys like Yasmani & Madrigal. Everything is bad with these guys no matter what the numbers say.

97th percentile BB rate 79th percentile K rate 89th percentile hard hit rate His only problem right now is he’s hitting way too many balls on the ground at the expense of line-drives. That should normalize closer to career norms with time. Either way, he’s far from a black hole, especially for a catcher.

Good lineup!

It’s possible but it will still come down to starting pitching. If we can’t extend Giolito, that could potentially sidetrack things.

Best decade in franchise history <> best dynasty in the history of the game

For the love of god please stop with this act. I appreciate posters that are optimistic, but your posts simply aren’t baked in reality.

And will never happen.

Where are you seeing this?

We have control of Yermin for five more years, there is absolutely zero reason to extent him at his age.

The Sox were concerned about 40 man roster spots and didn’t want to add Yermin until they absolutely needed to. In hindsight it was clearly the wrong call.

Seems like he goes through these stretches where he is overly selective and it hurts his overall game. He just needs to find the right balance in which he isn’t passing on pitches that he should be punishing.

To say we have a juggernaut beyond this year seems way too premature. The rotation is a huge question mark going forward with Giolito only under control for two more seasons, Lynn & Rodon both free agents this coming offseason, Keuchel likely to start declining, and Cease still not clicking yet (although is stuff is definitely improved). Yes, we have Kopech who looks like he will be a legit ace, but we still need to figure other things out. Dylan breaking through or a Lynn extension would be nice. And while I’d love to see Crochet move to a full time starter role next year, I’m afraid his arm won’t be ready for that. I think the rest of the roster appears to be in pretty good cheap, but the rotation requires further clarity.

Only about an hour in, but Sub Zero is pretty bad ass so far.
