Sir, I am on the keep Crochet/Robert train, but only if Getzy can convince JR to sign his unicorn pitcher. Which, in his defense, is a damn near Herculean task.

I'm convinced @SoCalChiSox willed Wolkow into existence

I will also chime in that the AdEEEEEEEEEEos made me laugh.

Man's gonna make WestEddy and I become allies and I don't know how I feel about that.

Oh damn, guess we can't trade him now.

I kinda want the Yankees to get Sheets, then he hits some crucial monster s%*# to that right field porch because the NY Post will run a backpage with "HOLY SHEETS" with him photoshopped as an angel or something and they'll be so proud of themselves.

Rocketman >>> Fishies

Guys, look at the Dash July 19 merch. I love the company that makes all these goofy ass one-off team brandings.

Not much you can do when Andrew McCutchen summons the power of furries. Doesn't even matter that he wasn't in the lineup.

Don't I know it

You're all pitching Fedde + relievers (or Pham), when in all actuality it's gonna be Fedde + dumping Benintendi

It tells me that he ain't a Getz boy. Which means that he's developing on his own. Make Sosa the director of player development.

So it's no Jirschele, but Santos that we're replacing Pedro with?

I think it depends. JR would never do it because he's a cheap ass, but if Crochet were offered a $100M/4 extension, that let's him hit free agency at 29 years old, guarantees generational wealth, but insulates him against possibly losing money if he gets hurt during his two arb years.

Sign Sale. Get Schultz up. Have three tall White Sox lefty unicorns.

There's such a little committed money in the coming seasons that not extending him is pathetic.

For Belle, I was trying to think of someone who has both sets of issues and couldn't think of many. Also TA did have a bad second half of 2022, but had a good WBC + 2023 prior to the injury (roughly a month and a half). Those are small sample sizes, but I still feel like he was heating back up until then. Then it all spiraled.

Like seriously, you can blame off field antics all you want, but how does a leg injury for w dude that relied on his legs get constantly glossed over? It's probably a combo, but it'd be like "Albert Belle's career was derailed due to him being a crazy son of a b****" and ignoring the degenerative hip.

I think it has more to do with him getting injured via a punch to the knee 7 days later and the White Sox being a disaster when it comes to rehabbing injuries than it has to do with Josh Donaldson.

Brother, you may be on to something

Lord, I see what you have done for others.

Tbf everyone with a pulse is getting innings in Chicago, Crochet or not

If anyone wants to see how that'd compare to other first baseman during the month of June. Basically Top 5 in everything. Now, you obviously need June Vaughn to become July Vaughn.

why is this announcement such a low-res photoshop job whereas his others are all just normal pics? Like, I'm sure it's real, just so weird.
