The soft broken bat hit? Color me unimpressed.

Shouldn't you be scolding the Panicans?

I'll never understand the Doyle trade. Dude is fucking trash. Will he even be on the roster next season?

I keep thinking about this because it makes me slightly erect. The Sox infield has so much damn potential in the near future. I think our defense can be top notch. This is how I would like it to shake our earlier in the season. I think Bonemer will be ready pretty early. C - Teal 1B - Vargas 2B - Chase SS - Colson 3B - Bonemer RF - Braden CF - Peters LF - Chase DH - Mune My only concern is whether Vargas and Mune will be OK with changing positions. I think Vargas is probably a better 1st baseman. Maybe you let them split time to keep Mune happy. Also, playing Vargas occasionally at 3B to keep him happy. I'd imagine Bonemer would be better at 3rd than Vargas. Then there is scenario where Roch is ready mid season. I'm not banking on it, but it's possible. That makes things trickier. Good problem to have. C - Teal 1B - Vargas 2B - Chase SS - Roch 3B - Colson/Bonemer RF - Braden CF - Peters/Bonemer LF - Chase/Bonemer DH - Mune We know the Sox are going to start playing Bonemer at CF now. I think you'd just have to play him almost as a super sub to get him playtime. Not sure this is the best idea, but it's a way to get him at bats regularly. We could also get guys rest regularly this way. What do you guys think it will look like?

Yeah, I'd be furious if this was happening to us. He's gotten really unlucky.

DeGrom has gotten boned by weak contact. Wow.b

Kind of fell bad for DeGrom

What an insane throw that was

Lmao what the f*** throw was that?

No Schriff tonight? Looks like I'm muting the broadcast.

Would he accept splitting time with Vargas at 1st/DH I wonder? And we don't know if Vargas will accept a move to 1st. Would have to give him occasional time at 3rd.

DeGrom's breaking stuff is still pretty nasty. He's just missing with it.

Lmao lucked out there. A little too aggressive.

I only saw that double. That's why I like the idea of moving Vargas to 1st and having Bonemer at 3rdd next season. Improves the defense. Eventually have Colson at 3rd, Roch at SS, Meidroth at 2nd, Vargas at 1st. That's gold glove caliber players at 3rd, SS and 2B. Maybe Vargas is GG caliber at 1st. That's one hell of an infield.

Does Vargas make that play at first if he is there instead of Mune?

Lmao they really bunted there?

I'd be slightly angry because Getz made the team worse at the deadline. He went for players that are under control vs rentals who are good. The disastrous deadline would make it a harder pill to swallow.

Just like you "really hated" making fun of Benetti, but you did it anyway. Pure trash.

That's not why we call you crazy

I figured they may call up Thorpe to give the starters an extra day of rest. Guess not.

Not gonna lie, I'm feeling a little nervous with how dogshit out rotation is. Cleveland improved at the deadline and we somehow got worse. Cleveland has won 5 of 6 getting to play the best of the best; SF, COL, LAA. Only 2.5 games up now and Cleveland still has 2 more with LAA then play KC at home. Their deadline acquisitions are helping them. It would be a real gut punch to miss the playoffs after leading the division all season and actively making the team worse at the trade deadline.

Nobody believes that 😂

I decided to check out the White Sox subreddit. People that are critical about the team over there get attacked by a swath of posters calling them "doomers" 😂

He's below average according to statcast. The Sox know Bonemer's defensive ability better than anybody. I'd imagine if he is passable at SS, he'll be a decent 3B. Where else could they play Bonemer when he is ready? They could really use a good right-handed bat, and he looks like he'll mash. I guess they could DH him if they really want. Seems like a waste though. The only problem I can envision is Vargas not wanting to move off 3B. Hopefully he doesn't make a scene about it.

It's trades like these that make me question whether Getz is actually a good GM. It was an awful, questionable trade and everybody saw that from the start (well, except for all the White Sox insiders "shockingly"). Doyle was one of the worst hitter in the league while playing in Coors. He's always been bad outside of Coors. What exactly was the motivation for acquiring him? We really wanted a no-bat defensive outfield that badly?
