Bummed that you rarely get to watch A games.

I'm glad to see the game going back to the pitcher. I think the roids era did a lot to hurt the purity of baseball. You see a lot of players that are fundamentally weak. Being a catcher is not a glamorous position. Some use to be household names in the 70's. Baseball is like golf. You either like it or you don't. I do think it's a generational thing. I remember in high school a teacher would put on the spring training games on the radio. Professional sports are not as accessible like they use to. You got to have cable or a paid program to listen on the radio if you are in a different region. I'm not sure modifying how the game is played is going to keep a traditionalist. They start the season in March and most parts of the country that doesn't help attendance. The NFL no longer interests me. That is a sport were the talent is regressing. Way too many 1t round flops. Plus it was a form of entertainment that is now politicized. ESPN/Fox I think has done more to ruin professional sports. It's littered with former players who have to reflect on their career or just plain stupid how their sport has evolved. Terry Bradshaw is perfect example. It's an era of the salary cap and the coach is not as near as important as the players. At one time sports was in the hands of journalists or announcers and that made it more interesting. Announcing is a talent. I learned to appreciate Hawk after hearing Berman do the 2005 post season vs. the Red Sox. I never could get into the NBA. Just watch the last 5 minutes. The NHL, I'm getting more into that. I think the interest of professional sports is declining because there is more competition for entertainment. It's pricing is also a weakness. Why go to a game when you can buy the latest Call of Duty release and be entertained longer. With the digital format the music industry would lose to the movie industry. You see few kids into sports these days. That may have to do with parenting.

So true. I know this season is bad but I don't care to risk a kid's development because the Sox are so terrible. Sept. is OK. I don't want to enter the debate of a failed prospect is because they brought them up too soon. Besides I'm really enjoying watching Milb.

They have managed to never have a shortage of baseball dumb players. I don't think it's something they value. By the time kids make it up to the majors they should know the fundamentals.

Under Reinsdorf that probably wont happen.

Bummer that you don't get to watch Kanapolis every game.

Sale is still a stud.

I decided to watch Kanapolis. Robert with 2 RBI.

Free game of the day. Should I watch or ask how much I hate myself? I think I will stick with the other Milb

That is so White Sox.

A little pricey for one of those caps.

It matched their defense last night.

The Baron's feed sucks. No info on the screen as to what inning, ect. Had to use Gameday to get a grasp. The Milb app only works on OS 10 while MLB still works with OS 9. Developers are becoming my least favorite people. Instead of doing something like this they could work on making the screen sizable instead of small or large. Poor design overall for $50. Baseball during breakfast. Baseball just to watch or listen to baseball in the morning is great. No shortage of baseball. Most sports are great to watch when there is no emotion attached to it. What was really odd seeing Jumbo Shrimp @ Barons. I thought it was an advertisement at first. I want one of those Baron caps.

Where was this James Shields when he was getting clobbered the previous seasons.

I guess the option is invest in better scouting and development.

I thought he was talking about paying $10 for a beer/

The difference is the Cubs will invest in an experienced manager with success where the Sox will use former players. This is often one of the bad ideas in professional sports. Who remembers what great players Ozzie and Robin were.

I always liked his articles. They are not straight up journalism. What is neglected though is the Sox have a history of players being baseball dumb. It's evident in the minors. When was the last solid fundamental player the came through the system. That might be #54.

I like this. I needed a laugh.

I'll treat this thread as sarcasm.

Still think of springing $49 on MiLB. So far it appears from reading on the forums White Sox baseball is just awful. Who is really enjoying their Milb subscrption as oppose to watching the Sox. Is there a discount on MiLB?

I thought Q would be better in the NL.

Every free agent has their price. It's more about winning $$$ than games.

Can the pen hold the lead?

QUOTE (SonofaRoache @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 08:46 PM) Let's be real. If they brought MM in they wouldn't have thrown that sh!t show of a pitching staff together. They would have tried to at least win 75 to 80 games. I think they are underestimating the ability to use the rebuild as an excuse. Free agents want to see signs of potential winning and fans will tune out until the rebuild is complete. The right move for the Sox to make was to be near average to keep the hype rolling. Getting the number 5 pick in draft is nice but not necessary when you are trying to lure big names next offseason. So says a fan. It's more often about money than rings.
