Correct.

Vargas and Vaughn seem to be at best mediocre and are probably worse than that. Robert seems to have one foot out the door already. There's really nothing here that makes a pitcher really have to stop and take notice. If this continues and Benintendi stays relatively hot he won't see any decent pitches to hit in game situations.

It will be interesting when all is said and done if the offense actually is worse than last season. Stone was talking about this towards the end of the game and admitted they are going to have trouble scoring. Already in four of the six games played they've scored three runs or less.

They should have postponed the game, oh well. Sox go 2-4 at home against two of the expected worst teams in the league after winning the first game of each series. Says a lot doesn't it? And what is going to happen the next six months.

Has been for a long time in a number of areas.

Six and Varland will make number seven when he gets the final test results.

Unless JR is willing to put up a LOT of his own money this will be a difficult sell... doesn't matter if it is downtown in the current location or in any suburb.

He just seems to keep putting himself in these awkward situations.

Possibly although I think your time frame is to short. I can see starting April 15 or so and ending around September 25.

Well that didn't take long: https://awfulannouncing.com/mlb/rob-friedman-ninja-pirates-white-sox-broadcasts.html

I honestly though John sounded much better opening day, he toned down his act, sounded more professional. I told Brooks that. But tonight? That was not good. It's one thing to get into a fight with the media which the organization has always considered the "enemy" but to get into it with the club's own pitching coach? I wonder what they are thinking now and how this is going to be handled because Bannister obviously didn't appreciate the dismissive remarks.
