Hey, that's nice.

Pretty sure Keller literally walked the first two batters he faced the other night.

Give Grady Sizemore the job. Because why the hell not.

I’ve seen enough DeJong. Send him to the moon. If he can’t field his position he is worthless.

No argument from me.

I am certainly not in support of how Getz has managed the roster, but Thompson still sucks. 1.4 WHIP and 7.2 BB/9 (SSS, but highest of career) just isn't going to play. Guy can't throw a strike to save his life.

Appears Remillard has cleared waivers and accepted his outright assignment to Charlotte (he had the right to decline with a previous outright). Good news for AAA Charlotte and general depth.

Besides Pillar, no one is happier than Jerry. He saves the pro rated minimum for days Pillar is on LAAs roster. Kevin has a new super fan!

Legit curious to see if Pedro’s sticks with Ortega Va Lee here

He was not

Cash considerations strike again

This is pretty much where I am at. I want the Sox to win, but I am moving on quickly after a loss (and have been since about game 8), which I admit I don't always do when the games matter. Obviously, these games don't matter already, which sucks, but there is still something to root for. Fedde, Eloy, Pham and several relievers could return something of interest this summer. Even the less interesting vets could perhaps return a lottery ticket with a nice couple months. Even though I don't really agree with the roster construction or thought process behind it, doesn't mean I need to root for it to crash and burn. I'd rather watch them win than lose, and I'd rather watch Getz have success than not. I can certainly understand the line of thought behind a 20-142 type season having ripple effects that could cause change, but this is Jerry Reinsdorf at the helm. The only thing effectuating meaningful change is when he or his family sells. It all likelihood, that is at least a half decade away - no point is being miserable about the Sox daily until then.

Very winnable game last night.

It’s honestly been better this year. Still below average tho.

Sitting Pham is certainly an interesting decision.

It’s getting Sports Guy-level bad in terms of downgrading the enjoyability of reading through threads.

Stay hot, Flavum!

Do you two have to do this every single thread?

This would be my guess.

I only caught the first 6 innings last night before I left to go watch the Twolves smack around the Suns with buddies, but I enjoyed Apple TV broadcast. They have cool camera angles and outside of the on field reporter, the announcers were solid and seemed to have decent knowledge of the 3-22 white sox. Honestly, better than listening to Schriffen try to get us excited over a fly out that doesn’t make it to the warning track.

Usually able to find videos of the full interview, but can’t find anything yet. If anyone sees one, please post. Thanks in advance.

Raised that OPS up to .262! He’s smokin’!!

Refreshing to not have an ump call every close ball a strike. Makes a big difference.

I mean not really. He’s actually not a good OF at all. Demoting Fletcher for Ortega is flat out terrible.
