.136; .138; .149; .184; .182; .103 That's some "quality" Major League players right there kids, let me tell you! 😆

I know we all hoped for better things but the fact is that is not going to happen. This is an abysmal roster, full stop. 4-14 on the year 14 games where they scored three runs or less (78%) 54 runs TOTAL this season (averaging three runs per game) 3 times shut out 4 times scored one run 3 times scored two runs 4 times scored three runs All you can do is laugh

The best average among the top four hitters in the lineup tonight was .143 All you can do is laugh. 13 times in 17 games the Sox have scored three runs or less.

I disagree, he'd be more tolerable but still an issue.

He's not the problem, he is PART of the problem. Just another example of a dysfunctional organization that can't get out of their own way.

Another day and yet another game where they score three runs or less.

It was a long form story in the Athletic dated last September 19 by Brittany Ghiroli and ken Rosenthal. The headline was: "An owner who 'thinks he knows everything' led the White Sox to historic disaster"

This is true but what may also be true is if all these "changes" to the organizational structure, the bringing in of all these people from outside the organization were so meaningful, you'd think they'd get at least a vote or two wouldn't you?

He isn't out of the organization yet folks. If he clears waivers there is a decent chance the Sox take him back and send him to Charlotte.

The Athletic has a long story today on MLB front offices. Over 40 front office types voted on the teams with the best front offices and why. The White Sox did not even receive a single vote which shouldn't be surprising. Did not receive votes: (for the second season in a row, in all cases): Athletics, Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox, Colorado Rockies, Los Angeles Angels, Miami Marlins, Pittsburgh Pirates, St. Louis Cardinals, San Francisco Giants, Toronto Blue Jays.

Looking at the box score, seven hitters tonight played with averages under .200 for the White Sox. Seven. Make it now 12 of the 16 games played where they have scored three runs or less.

What has the weather been like for their home games, that could be a factor in K.C.'s attendance as well as who the opposition was.

The way Tucker has started his price tag may now be 400 million.

Anything is possible but that would be a situation completely different from his entire life/career. He wants power and control.

On the few situations when he has spoken publicly about it he has always said he has told his family that when he dies they should "keep the Bulls and sell the Sox."

There have also been some relief pitchers the past few years who as soon as they joined another team started to perform much better. I'm absolutely convinced the losing which has permeated every aspect of the dysfunctional organization is a factor. Since 2007 this is one of the worst teams in baseball, mentally that is hard to fight through if you are a player regardless of how much you are getting paid. The comments this past week from Lynn, Cease and Crochet just strengthen that impression of mine.

As I recall Todd Frazier was pretty good.

Solid story asking about the offensive side of the organization and the issues: https://www.southsidesox.com/2025/4/14/24407840/lack-of-offensive-progress-a-growing-indictment-of-chicago-white-sox-gm-chris-getz-record

Has been since basically 2019.

The Sox have now scored three runs or less in 11 of the 15 games played this year. The record when they score three runs or less is 1-10.

To the best of my knowledge the suites have never been completely sold out for the season. if it did happen, I'd guess it was in 2006 after the World Series win. Yes, the HOK firm that designed Comiskey Park II said they offered JR a Camden Yards style design and he turned it down.

With this offense or lack of same you knew it was going to be a tall task to beat Crochet.

They can't even stay healthy.

Anybody in the system that has a potential future and that is not a cast off, has been...regardless of position.
