Slater torn meniscus; Jones back
They tried that a few times last year and it was brutal

The hits keep coming to the OF.

Sox "way behind everyone else" Lance Lynn
He's probably not wrong. But I don't think we needed Lance Lynn to know this org is well behind the times.

Chase Meidroth getting promoted
Even if Meidroth is just an average big leaguer 6 years and 150 games of control is always better than 6 years. Not only is that one additional year of potentially playing for the White Sox but it's one additional year of control which would improve his trade value in the future. Of course it matters. I don't understand how anyone could argue against manipulating service time when you're talking about a team that is expected to be this bad.

Omar Narváez getting promoted, Lee likely IL bound per Fegan
There is an open 40 man spot*. Narvaez will likely be on the roster for a week until Quero gets the call. Getz deserves all the hate, but calling up Quero today would be insanely stupid. Like he doesn't understand how the rules work stupid. *space may have to be made today because Tauchman going to IL I assume and we have no other OFs on 40 man.

4/9 Sox @ Guardians 5:10PM CT
Yes. He was called up. I am asking if he was actually available today because he played for Charlotte earlier in the day so it seems very possible he was not available today.

Who is tweeting post game quotes? Again, honest question. DVs used to have videos on Twitter of the post game comments every day. Well, he done. Fegan doesn't even tweet anymore and Merkin is too busy planning his next meal and talking about Michigan. And as an out of town fan, I don't have access to the post game show.

Perhaps. Not much use for an out of town fan.
-
4/9 Sox @ Guardians 5:10PM CT
We sure? He played for Charlotte earlier today it appears.

How do you even see postgame comments from Venable in this absolute wasteland of beat coverage? That's an honest question by the way. I'd love to find a source because I got nothing after losing DVS and Vinny.

4/9 Sox @ Guardians 5:10PM CT
He'll, maybe Colas will get some run after all. I'd much rather watch Colas than Tauchman or Taylor or Slater anyway.

4/9 Sox @ Guardians 5:10PM CT
I mean, I'm not doing any name calling here, but he should have kept his leg on the bag and called time. I'm assuming it's a very serious injury, otherwise that's pretty dumb for a big leaguer to do on a turned ankle.

Lol all you can is laugh. Amazing stuff.

Merkin really loves Will Venable

Drury is back, per Fegan
Da f*** is blue sky. Lame. Thanks for the response and link tho, appreciate it.
-
Drury is back, per Fegan
What is this from? Like a Sox Machine discord or something? Doesn't look like Twitter. With Sox losing DVS and Vinny and Fegan going basically dark on Twitter, there is so little beat coverage on that app now.

The Lenyn Sosa Thread
Sosa should be playing everyday. Mainly 2B with Baldwin at SS. I have no desire see any more Amaya.

Fire Chris Getz
This is where I am at. Terrible hire. I think he's done a good job at hiring staff members and changing the philosophies of the org from the ground up. At this point, he is our guy as long as JR is the owner, so may as well ride with it. His MLB roster management has been awful. I have not been shy in slamming his moves this offseason. And I think I saw you post just yesterday on Twitter that you think he should have signed a couple pen arms to improve the back end, win a few more close games, and then have trade pieces. I agree with that, and think most of his moves on the offensive side were brutal with no upside. But this is what a team that is tanking does. I didn't really expect a better team this year. I think once you accept the Sox are trying to lose baseball games in 2025, it makes the painful games a little easier to swallow.

Wow, I would have guessed $500-750k. Great gig.

You really think Stoney gets paid millions? I highly doubt it. I am sure he makes a nice living, but I'd be shocked if it was into 7 figures. Your point remains, tho.

4/6 Sox @ Tigers 12:40PM CT
Seems they're going to use him as a high leverage arm for now. I think pulling him there was absolutely the right call. He could not find the strike zone and with Greene getting pinch hit, get the lefty in there.
-
4/6 Sox @ Tigers 12:40PM CT
Nah. They should definitely wait 2 more weeks. They should be let Baldwin play SS and Sosa 2B most days tho.
-
4/6 Sox @ Tigers 12:40PM CT
These games have been soooooo boring this season.
-
4/6 Sox @ Tigers 12:40PM CT
While Oscar clearly isn't liked by the org, the fact they sent him to AA rather than just sitting on the bench in AAA tells me they at least want to let him play. They could have just completely doghoused him in CharlottE or released him. But ya, your point remains.
