BIG hit, Adam! 3-1 Sox!

And just like that, the Sox are back up on top! Way to go, AJ! We needed that!

3, 4, 5 due up. They got us right where we want them. Let’s give ‘em a White Sox come-from-behind thrill out there in the Bronx!

The dreaded lead-off walk.

Atta boy, Leury! Big hit. Down just by two. We got this!

Building a rivalry with the Yankees isn’t the worst thing for this franchise. Good for business!

PITO!

No one will be fired while the current owner is still around. Everyone knows that.

He started quite a bit during the rebuild.

I would really like to see how he would do in the role we’ve been told for years he’s perfect for, which is that of the super-sub. He’s yet to date ever served in that role.

Great game in front of a national audience. Good debut for Benetti and these peacock broadcasts. Six in a row now - life is good!

Congrats to Dallas on a solid start, which included having to pitch over that 28 minute delay.

Keuchel is a veteran. He needs to know not to get unraveled by bad defense and just find a way to pitch over it.

So the Sox converted the #4 pick overall in the draft four years ago into a half season of Madrigal, a disastrous half season by Kimbrel, and now one, maybe two seasons of an oft-injured 34 year-old decent-at-best outfielder. We lost all of those games in 2017 to get the #4 pick, only for it to turn into this return. That’s not good.

You make an interesting point, but then why pick up the option? Take the $16M and go buy something pretty on the free agent market instead. They must have some sort of sense of Kimbrel’s value that may not be clearly obvious to us at the moment.

For some reason it doesn’t seem right trading two first round draft choices for a second baseman.

If the Sox gave Rodon the QO and he accepted it, then went out next year and dominated all season long and put to rest all concerns about his health, he’d hit the open market a year from now and undoubtedly receive a Steve Boras trademark, gargantuan contact, and it wouldn’t come from the White Sox because this owner doesn’t give ace pitchers contracts like that. What he will do, however, is roll the dice and see to get Rodón to sign a long-term deal this winter, but one with fewer years and at a discounted rate to the previous contract I referenced, due to the health uncertainty at this point in time. It would be somewhat similar to trying to get a 300 million dollar player to come play for you for 250 million. It would be a gamble on both sides, but certainly one with a lot of upside for the Sox.

Lol - well, the game here is to answer the question what we want them to do, and what I want them to do is acquire Torres if he’s made available. If the Yanks don’t resign Rizzo, then a young premium talent like Andrew Vaughn to replace him at first could be interesting to them. It’s not out of the realm of possibility. Now do I think it’s going to happen, likely no. But if there was a way to do it, I think it would be a tremendous upgrade and a great fit.

From what I’ve read there’s a chance Gleyber Torres could be made available this winter, and if that’s the case, I think he’d be the perfect pick up. He’s only three months older than Madrigal (24 years old, 25 next season) and still has three years of team control. He had an off year this season but part of it was he was playing out of position. Once the Yanks moved him back to second his bat seemed to start coming around again. Have no idea what it would take to get him but it’s very appealing to add him alongside Eloy and Dylan as former Cub premier prospects contributing to the Sox’ run in the next few years. As for RF, I’d be good with a one-year, left handed hitting stop gap of some sort until Cespedes is ready to take over, but one better than the one we added last year. What they will do, well, that’s anyone’s guess. Every winter I think this is going to be the one where Reinsdorf surprises us all and ditches the magic-in-a-bottle approach and makes a bold statement by acquiring some premium, big name talent that will put us over the top, and then every winter I come away disappointed. But hope springs eternal, so we’ll see how it plays out yet again.

Hard pass on Reinsdorf Version 2.0. ?

Oh, stop right there, cowboy. You’re crossing a line with this racism insinuation. There is no “bias” or “pattern” whatsoever that surfaces during his broadcasts or his appearances on the Score. None at all. And this isn’t a matter of opinion. There are zero actual quotes you can point to that can even remotely support what you are insinuating. He never made that comparison of Vaughn to Trout nor has he ever said anything of the sort about Moncada. So please cease and desist with this line of divisive commentary.

I don’t think our fan base needs or deserves to hope this apple has fallen far enough away from the tree so as to avoid a continuation of the approach of the last four decades. We need and deserve a brand, new orchard.
