Yeah between guys like Eloy and TA a lot of people here show their true colors when talking about them. Obviously a fan can criticize a players on field performance all they want, but when the critique is about how a player is dressed or about their personality there’s definitely something else going on.

Great offensive game so don’t want to complain…but at what point do they give up on Sheets just because he’s a lefty? I’d rather see Romy play the OF at this point. Or if the mysterious Robert wrist injury doesnt heal call Payton back up. Or just go with Colas, he has nothing left to prove at AA.

Gotta feel for whatever fans they have tho. The ownership should for sure be forced to sell. A $53M payroll is an absolute joke.

Andrus at 2B and put Romy in the OF and stop DH’ing Yaz and Sheets. Romy has only played a few innings in the OF corners, but can’t possibly be worse than Eloy, AV and Sheets. Probably makes us too RH heavy, but it’s not like Sheets or Yaz are exactly killing the ball against righties. Ride the hot hitters

Go sit down Eloy, that’s embarrassing

Yoan showing signs of life? Sure would be great to get production from him down the stretch

I don’t want Tony back, nor do I think he should…but the idea that the players are suddenly going to start playing worse just because Tony is sitting in the dugout is pretty silly. It’s not like Cairo’s in game decision making has been any better, or Tony took Menechino with him. The team has mostly been the same fueled by great pitching and 3 outlier games where they scored some runs. Not to mention 1/2 of this roster is playing for their jobs, they can’t afford to worry about who’s sitting in the dugout

Absolute miracle we won that game by 3, but I’ll take it. Nice to see Liam with good stuff too

I guess, and maybe I sound like a jerk, but a simple eye test shouldn’t be that difficult. At some point there was a fairly large % of the fan base (or at least this board) that were slotting the likes of Palka, Delmonico, Salindino, Mcann and others in the lineup long term. Just a bit weird to me. Maybe it’s just hopelessness for a sorry franchise that it seems like there’s no choice but to root for these guys that have a couple of decent months?

For some reason a portion of this board loves falling in love with mediocre (at best) players. I won’t be shocked if Sheets can’t find work in the majors within the next 2-3 years.

Still confident in this offense?

I heard Palka and Delmonico are available and looking for a deal

He hasn’t been all that useful of a player since 2017. Unless it’s dirt cheap we shouldn’t be looking to invest in him.

Obviously pitching is always important, but this offense showing any kind of pulse is the most important aspect of a playoff birth. Not realistic to expect to keep going anything but .500 scoring 4 runs or less

Back to Hoss status for sure

You have no idea what Tony’s problem is. The man is 77, you don’t think he could have a health problem that has nothing to do with stress? And how do you think you know more than his doctors?

Exactly what kind of shape do you think a person needs to be in to watch a baseball game and talk on the phone? This is 1 of the worst takes I’ve ever seen

Engel and Payton in the OF

Crazy that fox hasn’t had the wherewithal to switch to the Sox game yet…at least in my area

Has Cuban even been in the mix since the Cubs? Doesn’t seem like he’s in the stuffy boys club enough for the rest of the MLB ownership. I can see the Harris/Blitzer duo being the next owners if there is a sale. I believe they got close to a 2B offer for the Mets and already own the Sixers and Devils. Don’t know enough about hockey to know why the Devils suck, but they have been spending well above the luxury tax and seemingly going for a championship with the Sixers.

That’s insane…what exactly does our front office do for this team?

There’s exceptions to everything…doesn’t change the fact that the guy is literally at the average life expectancy of someone who lives in this country. Whether we like the job he’s done or not, being a manager of a professional sports team isn’t easy. Never mind the constant travel and non-stop schedule, but the stress involved (especially when underachieving) is real. We’ve all seen head coaches have to step away due to health concerns at MUCH younger ages.

Yeah I really don’t think conspiracy theories are needed when a soon to be 78 year old can’t travel and/or work almost every day. Seems pretty straight forward that it would negatively impact his health. The fact that he was doing it is weirded than not being able to do it in my opinion, 77 is really f’ing old and it’s not like he’s in tip top shape by any means

He’s been mediocre to downright bad except this month of August really…which is being fueled by a .400+ BABIP. Not going to get carried away by a hot streak, we all should have learned that lesson by now. Not sure if the glove justifies it, but I think if Gavin can stick as a lefty pinch hitter off the bench it would be a success.

Ridiculous. Literally not a single person on earth thought that going into this season. A coach 1000% can drag a team down. Don’t get me wrong, the players deserve blame too, but to say the White Sox even have bottom 10 talent is just factually wrong. The entire team suddenly not being able to hit HR’s can’t be a coincidence. The coaching absolutely fucked this team up
