Swift is getting eaten alive.

How the f*** is that punch not...anything?

DH by committee. I dig it.

So, Tory Taylor is proving useful.

@joejoesox you gotta make a new thread or they're gonna lose

Schultz had a "rough" go in his 4 innings: 8 hits, 1 ER, 6 ks. Pallette had 3 BBs in his 1 inning of work (1 hit, 1 k) and those were the two runs scored in the game. Charlotte wins 10-0, the loses 2-0.

They may never lose again

Huh, they're winning

You'll be singing a different when Vargas becomes twice the hitter we've seen! He'd still be bad, but you'll see!

If anything proves that Hawk is not fit to call games, it's this right here.

Tbh the most surprising thing is that it didn't happen to a Sox player with how things have been going.

Get out of here with your dirty numbers. My vibe check tells me he's a star.

It's like a supervillain origin in a Saturday morning cartoon where if I can't get any chocolate chip cookies no one can get them. Getz couldn't hit for s%*#, so here we are.

He's now developing under the tutelage of Christopher Getz.

Nah, I fulfilled the properly submitted request.

A+ thread title @Sleepy Harold

Chris Getz tried to do this at the deadline. He is a dumb man operating under a penny pincher.

Including the ones that are known for having high baseball IQs before the Sox draft them! The system is just an infectious rot.

Earlier I saw some Bryce Young "highlights" and realized Chris Getz would have made that trade.

Ed Walsh threw 42 complete games in 1908. Today's pitchers are slackers. Hell, the pitchers in the 90's were slackers!

And it's worth mentioning that the 1899 Cleveland Spiders were effectively a AAA team. The Spiders owners also owned the St. Louis Perfectos (formerly the Browns). They then transferred all of the Spiders good players to St. Louis. The league then banned owners from owning more than 1 team. But it really hammers home: The 2024 White Sox will likely be the worst team in MLB history that is actually attempting to be a major league team. Yes, there were restraints with Jerry, but everything Getz said when he got hired through Spring indicated that he thought they'd be a decent - not good, mind you, just decent - team at worst. Chris Getz actively trying is this bad.

Bro, they need vet leaders. Imagine where we'd have been without luminaries like Tommy Pham and Martin Maldonado

There is literally an interview with Dombrowski where he says it was Benintendi or Moncada + Kopech or Devers + the rest. Hahn wanted Moncada/Kopech/Devers, but couldn't get that because DD knew no one could match Moncada/Benintendi + Kopech + more Here's the interview

I don't know if I've ever been happier with a college football game, even Mizzou's bowl win last year. Mods know, but my dad passed away in July (I think the ill wishes against JR got sent to the wrong Jerry). He was an NIU alum, so I pulled for NIU growing up. He also loathed Notre Dame. He would have been so unbelievably happy. My aunt (also alum) and I were hollering on the phone together. My mom said it made her cry.
