7/16 Sox @ Twinkies 2:00PM Let’s get over .500!!
Down 3 in the 9th to a division rival and bunch of laughing in the dugout… I know they are human and it’s a game…but still not a good look for an underachieving team

Boy not very inspiring hitters coming up for us…can Eloy pinch hit? Do we want him to?

Have we written Jimmy off as a starter? He has 3 legit pitches

Yeah had no business throwing to a curveball to Pollack at all. 0 chance he can turnaround 100

God that was a 1st pitch hanger

Had 1 pitch to hit and he missed it on 3-1

Who wants to be the 1 to break it to them that the vast majority of fans in the stands are going to have no clue who Jim Kaat is?

Why is this delayed?

If the Sox trade for Juan Soto we have a chance.
No idea why Soto would even consider locking himself into a 15 year deal at the age of 23. He will have generational wealth with a 6/7 year deal and then potentially hit the open market again at 30. With the way salaries are continuously going up I wouldn’t want to be locking in my salary for a decade +.

I’m not sure how misplaying a ball = “dogging” it. I don’t think effort has been Robert’s issue in CF

Grade Offseason Acquisitions at ASB
Not to mention the fact that those guys just may not have been interested in signing for the long man/spot starter position we had to offer in the off-season. Opportunity is the most important thing for guys like that looking to salvage their careers.

Grade Offseason Acquisitions at ASB
I wouldn’t have argued against the signing, obviously Schwarber would help a ton. Although, Eloy and Schwarber as the corner Of’ers would definitely cost us some games too… I also think it’s fair to question whether Hahn had the capability to hand out a $79M contract this off season.

Grade Offseason Acquisitions at ASB
To play where? Don’t see how Abreu, Schwarber and Vaughn play together. So take up a huge chunk of salary to block Vaughn?

Grade Offseason Acquisitions at ASB
While I don’t want to make excuses for Hahn as I do think he has done a poor job post rebuild…but can someone point to the available free agents they would have signed that are looking good right now? You can point to a maybe 2/3 I think, but there are also more than a few guys this board (myself included) were clamoring for that would look like awful signings we’d be killing Hahn for.

Difficult to feel bad for him, but Yoan is getting some brutal strike calls on him

If only we could see this Kelly consistently…hopefully he works himself into a grove: clearly the stuff hasn’t gone away

For sure…but Tony would rather trust “his guys”

Not good when I’d much rather see Matt Foster in the game…

Now do they dare put Kopech out for another?
-

Just me, or does it look like Polanco just did a line of coke or something? His eyes are too wide open at all times

The White Sox have the worst collection of incredible athletes ever…that sentence shouldn’t make sense, but somehow it does.

Is it crazy to consider an opener for Kopech? The thought would probably break Tony’s old mind so not going to happen, but Kopech consistently struggles in the 1st.

I think that ball had some serious velocity and top spin to it. Obviously you want a major leaguer to knock it down, but tough play
