Grow a pair Chase. Charge the mound.

It's a fantastic nickname, thank you very much. I learned from the great nickname king - @ChiliIrishHammock24 . Sam's relative posts here. He's going to ask Sam what he thinks of the nickname. I bet Sam will like it.

I wanted to give some appreciation to this dude. We signed him for a cheap contract, and he pitches his ASS off for us in 2024. Completely exceeds expectations and puts up 4.6 bWAR. Then he nets us fricken Miguel Vargas in a trade. This season we sign him for basically nothing - $1.5mil. he does exactly what he needs to do by reliably eating innings as a 5th starter. He's in line to be worth 1.5-2 bWAR. A complete bargain for what he cost us. We don't always appreciate guys like him. Somebody needs to eat innings though. He has gotten the job done for us at a bargain.

COLSOM PRISON BLUES

Lmao it was two in a row. 1st was 1.5" low, the 2nd was 2.1" low. Neither close at all.

That was absurd. How can you keep the guy after his play combined with those back-to-back awful challenges?

LMAO no fucking way

How can they not make a serious effort to extend him? He's gotta be making the team big bucks.

I wonder what else we can expect aside from a catcher. A useful right-handed bat would be nice.

Crazy that our pitching has carried us

What do you mean by this?

Are none of the catchers we have in the minors better than Romo? He's so bad.

The banger EDM song before Meidroth hit the fly out?

He must be Stone's replacement when he retires.

Is it time to bust out the apology forms directed to @Green Line for his views on Colson and how he got crushed for them?

Just saw Mune's homerun. Changeup outside and out of the zone, and he just crushes it oppo. His power is absurd.

The hitting coach deserves his salary and some for they did with Vargas ALONE.

f*** him

It's nice to finally get some representation from mods in a game thread. Is Balta still alive?

Bring in Menechino!

He needs to focus more on making contact and less on homeruns. Bring in Menechino to work with him.

I'm not opposed to trading him in the future. Sell high on him of somebody is willing to buy. Roch will be ready in no time.

It does feel like they've been better lately. Per AI - "Chicago White Sox Relivers: Put together a dominant stretch allowing only 8 earned runs over 45.2 innings dating back to July 8, holding opponents to a .180 batting average.". That was from an article on July 23rd. Not sure where I can find cumulative bullpen stats from the month of July, but I think they've been pretty good.

SOUTH SIDE STAND UP! I like how he got notably upset when Plesac put Wrigley in his top 5 baseball stadiums 😂 He groaned and then brought it up again 5 minutes later saying he couldn't believe Plesac had it in his top 5.

My hope is that when Ishbia takes over, he throws a gigantic offer at Benetti to return. That doesn't seem crazy to me.
