Jerksticks

Crazy that we are a few months from the end of Giolito’s rookie contract. Basically all the guys Hahn was praised for in those trades so long ago…it’s about to be 6 years, almost a billion dollars spent…and one first round exit. Things can change but that’s what it looks like. Incredible whiff on the whole rebuild idea.

Our philosophy is to blame. The guys just aren’t tough outs. That’s the whole problem They don’t play THE GAME. Look for the pitch you want until you have 2 strikes. then shorten and foul off a bunch of pitches and put it in play. These clowns chase anything close strikes 1 and 2 and then swing just as hard strike 3. So dumb. We’re all sport and no game.

The Rays are just incredible. I don’t know how you can look at whatever the heck they’re doing and think you shouldn’t change your operation immediately. This could be a world class franchise. Best name and logo out there

I get less purist as I age. Seems backwards of typical old curmudgeonry. Give me more fans excited about playoffs. Give me a selection show where the top seeds pick their opponents with trash talking. Not opposed to steroids coming back either.

Yuck. He had a pretty okay April, really bad May. Hopefully he rips in June.

“You guys are bitches” needs to be the attitude against our division. It starts with Correa and the Twins. We’re going to dominate you this year. I like this guy

For real, right? Has there ever been a blaming coach? Like a guy who goes full priss and just tosses everybody under the bus lol. Nobody comes to mind at first thought

? Kopech at 94-95 gives me the same concerns as Giolito at 92-93. Not sure if either of those can be more than average at best.

Double or nothing on 109 wins

You know if those guys are who we want them to be, that’s a 108-110 win lineup easy

That’s what I’m wondering. Eloy playing more RF and Burger getting ABs every game. At what point does that become a sign they are really high on Burger’s power/bat, so much so that Colas is pushed aside a bit?

Dear Lord. Now that you mention it you almost have to wonder if they’ve given that thought

So what wold be a sign the organization is pretty damn high on Burger? Even over Colas? maybe Eloy playing more RF than any of us wants

It’s weird for me. I can already tell this will be year 2 for me not watching many games. Even if we signed DeGrom and Judge I’d probably still just check box scores, highlights and quick swoop Soxtalk every day. I don’t know if I’ve just reached a stage or an age of life that’s finally changed something. My interest is the same I think but the time devotion is completely gone. Is it all just Tony? Anybody else?

What a great combination of words. I bet that was fun to type ?

Sweet, just enough wins to overpay with Colson for some older vet at the deadline

If I had a totally useless laughing stock under-7 I’d probably choose surgery over death as well.

Maybe all this insanity leads to 109 wins. f*** it

Good on the White Sox to refrain from comment or judgement until investigations finish. It’s kinda ironic that if we didn’t have these large corporations the mob would swallow all the light out of the world at the first sign of any crisis. Who had “Large corporations as last strongholds of integrity” on their bingo card ?

I don’t want to win the World Series either.

I figured it was just a mercy break. What haven’t we exhausted?

Mercy. Ok now if Leury was free, like the league minimum, how many teams want him to occupy a spot? i would say the shitty rebuilding teams would rather try their young guys or try to catch lightning in a bottle on some 25-29 yr old post-hype, burger-type guys maybe figuring something out. Does a championship club want him as swiss-army depth after last year? i dont know the answer and that's bad.

I thought it was going to happen last year but this year we find out we have a Badass farm beyond Colson and Corlas

But what team would want the Leury side of that dump? Nobody has THAT much pitching

Eminor nails it. I’ve been one of the biggest apologists/supporters forever. They finally broke me this year and I think it’s like you say: The choices made are just sooo bad the only conclusion I can come to is maybe these guys really don’t have what it takes to compete with other front offices. There’s time to fix it but a few years has been lost. I’ve gone from excited to skeptical about this window that should have been a home run.
