Chicago White Sox

What a wild ride for Brady Lail!! Excited to see what version of Burdi we get!!

We renegotiated Leury’s contract in the spring to include an option for 2021. He will definitely be our super utility guy for another year.

Extend Collins while he still is cheap!

Yup

I’m not convinced there is something seriously wrong with Bummer, but obviously still incredibly concerning.

Holy fuck

My god this game is infuriating

Fucking embarrassing and predictable.

Oh boy, and the inning goes on...

Five fucks is simply unacceptable. What is Cooper doing with these guys to help them harness their control?

That’s true, but it always feels like we have no game plan to start a game and need a time or two through the lineup to figure a pitcher out.

Feels like we have no advanced scouting and rely solely on the talent of our players to figure shit out.

This is one of those games where it feels like we’re losing by five even though we’re up 1-0.

You think a guy who batted .280 in AAA has a 20-30 grade hit tool? This Collins hate is really getting out of control.

Moncada is my fucking hero!!

Come the fuck on Cease

It’s a relevant point, but fuck Pnoles.

Exactly.

Thank god we got one at least.

We don’t want him in Nashville 😉, but yes they are still the Sounds. That being said, really hope we land an expansion franchise here so there is some hope of the Sox coming to town at some point.

Lol...yes I agree, he’s both an awful tactical & strategic manager. He may very well be great in the clubhouse, which has value, but damn he does some dumb fucking stuff.

I really don’t get benching Grandal tonight. This is basically a Sunday lineup to kick off a series against a tough divisional opponent and coming off two ugly losses. I’m sorry, but Renteria is a truly awful tactical manager.

Didn’t expect what?

In regards to Cespedes, what I mean is he’s advanced enough that you might only need a one year stop-gap (such as Mazara). If we don’t sign Cespedes and don’t have that clear long-term option for RF, then it’s much easier to support signing a bigger name RF. As for the bullpen, the goal should be to have plenty of options and let the best guys win. We saw it this year with Heuer and I think Johnson basically leaps Cordero, etc. to grab a spot. All that being said, I think we need one more high-end guy to pair with Bummer & Heurer. That doesn’t have be Giles, but I chose him due to stuff and age. For the rotation, we definitely need another TOR type to pair with Giolito. We can’t waste prime years of our young positional core why we wait for Cease or Kopech step up. If we’re unable to sign someone (I chose Bauer due to his stated interest to do one-year deals), then we might have to trade for one.

I think next offseason we’ll sign one starter and one reliever. I’m not yet convinced they will add a RF or simply give Mazara another look (that will depend on how he plays down the stretch and whether or not we sign the younger Cespedes). Regardless, here’s how I’d like to see things shake out: Robert, CF Moncada, 3B# Jimenez, LF Abreu, DH Grandal, C# Vaughn, 1B Anderson, SS Mazara, RF* Madrigal, 2B IF: Mendick OF: Engel UT: Garcia# BC: Collins* Baeur Giolito Keuchel* Cease Kopech CL: Giles SU: Bummer* SU: Heuer MR: Lopez MR: Rodon* MR: Marshall MR: Johnson LR: Dunning
