Chicago White Sox

I mean, there is zero reason not to give him an offseason to work on changes and hope he can provide some value next year. While he has been god awful, his pure stuff is much better than what James Shields had when we acquired him. Not suggesting he isn’t cooked, but if you eat the contract you might as well do so next year.

Glad they are going with Sandlin. Him and Burke might be our 1-2 in the playoffs if he can keep this up.

Huge win! Still control our own destiny!

Holy f***…thank god

Instead an extra RH bat we have Acuna…FML

Why is Acuna still on this team?????!!

JFC

Maybe they try to pitch him 3 innings every other game? Venable will need to be creative AF with the pitching staff for us to have any chance in October.

I’d like to know how much our win probability increases if we get that insurance run.

One down…two to go

How the f*** did we not get a run there?!?

He’s so fucking back!!

Huge fucking call!

Is he coming back at some point?

Erik Fedde making playoff starts is not something I would of ever fathomed when we signed him this offseason.

Who are our five starters at this point if Castillo & Sandlin are in the bullpen?

He’s so fucking back!!!

I mean, this is super embarrassing but at least Getz isn’t being stubborn and letting s%*# linger any longer. But holy f*** what a disaster.

Zero reason not to tender Doyle a contract. He’s a worth a gamble with a full offseason to work on changes. I’m not optimistic it will work, but he’s young enough and has the tools to get better. Why we acquired him at the deadline and thought we could fix him mid season is a different matter. And to give up a major league ready pitcher for him when we were in desperate need of SP is sort of mind boggling to me. Trading for Castillo will always remain a stupid & arrogant move. Getz may have cost himself GM of the Year with that move alone. Just so much bad about it as it made us worse this year, ate up significant payroll space next year, and cost us a prospect who could help us in 2028 and beyond. I hated the move at the time and hate it even moreso now given that Luis alone being so bad might be what costs us the division and/or a playoff spot. I was becoming a bit of a Chris defender before the deadline, but I can’t ignore how bad the deadline was for us. Getz may have read the room correctly that this team was going to regress hard at some point, but why make the Castillo trade then? Hold your top prospects, add some low impact pitching depth, and give Adams a shot. If it didn’t work out, at least you hadn’t weakened yourself going into the 2027. Just can’t believe we’re going to be stuck with broken ass Luis Castillo for another year at $22. What a fucking nightmare from where we were just two months ago.

Yeah, why didn’t Murakami run at full speed?

What happened to Colson?

Why aren’t you throwing something in the dirt there?!? Like you can’t throw a hittable pitch on a 0-2 count in that situation. Just a got wrenching loss and one that could linger in the clubhouse.

I hope he’s up!

They have stopped playing Benintendi against LHP pretty much altogether

That’s true. Colson’s recent miscues have probably blinded me a bit here.
