Chicago White Sox

Hey guys, not sure if any of you realized this before, but we’d probably better with that Mahomes kid at QB instead of Mitch. I’ll make sure to repeat this ad naseum going forward to ensure that no one ever forgets that we may have drafted the lesser QB.

Dane Dunning & Micker Adolfo. Big year for both of them.

Terrible fucking interception

Dude is the guy that would win the Powerball and then complain about all those taxes. There is nothing that gives him joy in life but whining about how shitty everything is.

Wow!!!

Should be a good one.

Lol...he almost makes Parkman look like an optimist.

God damn taunting penalty coming back to bite us. The D needs to step up here.

God you are unbearable...I pray to god you aren’t married and/or have children, as those poor fucks would have no way to escape your nonstop whining.

We’re back in this b**** now!

Huge break...now make it count!

He probably should TBH. Not like this is the first time an NFL team has played in London, there should be plenty of info out there on what’s best for getting your players adjusted by game-time. Sounds like Gruden acknowledged the need to get there early and it’s paying dividends.

I’m not sure I follow. Are you suggesting Reinsdor is going to spend more in some attempt to prove this claim wrong?

Your hatred of Reinsdorf really isn’t healthy. The dude simply said he’s a good boss which by all accounts he is. No one is arguing he’s an awesome owner to the common fan.

His wOBA and xwOBA were basically equally this year, so not sure what luck are you referring to? Just his batting average again?

He’s shown zero signs of slowing down though.

Are you actually using batting average as the sole metric when evaluating Grandal’s offensive contributions? Does a career 14% BB rate and 20+ HRs for four straight seasons not do anything for you?

Not sure I follow. Reinsdorf pretty much spends against the cap every year except when they’re rebuilding. And my post had nothing about being good or bad.

While I agree they should shut their mouths for the most part, they’re also protecting their owner of a privately owned sports franchise. They don’t need to play by the same rules that most companies do.

Small market team? From 2000 to 2016 our average attendance rank was 13th and from 2006 to 2013 it was ~7th. I don't even like Jerry as an owner, but my god some of you guys are completely out of touch with reality.

@Jack Parkman take a look at the following chart. This is plotting our MLB payroll ranks against our attendance. For the attendance figures I'm using 70% of PY and 30% of CY as my proxy as it gave the highest r2. As you'll see below, about 2/3 of the payroll rank variation can be explained by the attendance figure I'm using, which makes complete fucking sense. Reinsdorf spends when the money is coming in and not before (which is also why PY attendance has a higher weight). Jerry is risk adverse and rarely goes out & invests in the team in hopes of driving fan interest (which I personally think is dumb), but once fans start showing up he most definitely reinvests in the team. If he was really trying to string us all along with 2nd place finishes to maximize profits (still no idea how that makes any sense), he'd be pocketing far more of this money. Instead, he puts most of it back into the team.

What in the world are you talking about?

Thank you.

Lol dude, you told us we were all stupid for not believing this and that the evidence was completely foolproof. Like do you even think before you post or are you just straight gun-slinging 24/7?

I pray to god if I’m ever on trial that you’re not part of the jury. All it takes is one claim from some douchebag for you to be 100% convinced of something.
