The Mighty Mite

Can anyone here play this game.

Easy DP and we blow it.

Probably not until they break the record of the 1961 Phillies of 23 in a row.

He really struggled last year with the bat but someone with the Rays worked with him all winter changing his stance and bat location, what a novel idea, would the Sox ever do something like that.

So true.

Could be dangerous to your mental health. In fact the White Sox should have that printed on all their tickets and signs at the entrances of Sox Park.

I’m not sure he’d be a 20-25 homer guy, more like 15 but no doubt a gold glover.

I’d take him in a heartbeat. And he just tied it up.

Good job Jake!

Right now since this team is toast I would stick Colas and Sosa out there everyday, they’re not going to get any better in Charlotte so give them extended playing time. That was a good AB by Colas and got himself a base hit.

Most fans do but they keep trotting them out, they will go away once JR goes away.

Correct, it’s more like the NFL with conferences, there haven’t been league offices or presidents for decades, no more league umpires either. Any team can leave anywhere depending on the circumstances, I’ve been a Sox fan for 71 years and have seen them very close to moving 3 different times. Let’s face it, the White Sox are not a marquee MLB franchise and they are wearing out their welcome in the Chicago area with the crap that has gone on the last 2 seasons. I’ve lived in Florida now for 30 years with no ties to the Chicago area anymore but it would still break my heart if they left my original hometown.

Grifol would have not been my pick for manager but I’m not blaming him for this mess, he was hired by a dysfunctional organization with a bunch of bad players. His hiring is equivalent to being named Captain of the Titanic after it struck the iceberg.

Does Robert have any minor league options left, if so send his sorry sulking ass down to Charlotte until he gets his head straight, If not trade him even if the Sox have to pay part of his salary, this guy is useless and trading him wouldn’t hurt one bit as this season is basically over.

You just know Wander would come through with a hit.

Exactly, what the f*** was he looking at.

Grandal after that mess should be benched.

Any word on Benintendi, seemed to be in a lot of pain last night after a HBP in the elbow.

Sorry, so I guess it has to be Moncada who I’ve never been a fan of and Kopech.

There was a lot of talk from some Red Sox fans that the guy they hated to lose in that trade was Luis Basabe, they were wrong as he has basically been a career minor leaguer. As far as the OP’s original question, it’s hard to answer because there have been so many Sox flops starting with Bee Bee Richard.

So if he is maybe incognizant who is in charge and making the decisions, probably why there have been no firings or heads rolling in the front office.

Might not be ready for prime time, not getting the job done at the plate and he didn’t look good in the field last night on a couple of fly balls turning the wrong way but was able to adjust and made the catches.

Could it be mechanics? I notice more and more pitchers not following through on their deliveries instead they sort of kick their right foot up in the air right after the delivery. Compare Giolito’s delivery with guys with great mechanics like Seaver and Ryan. Check out how Gio finishes his delivery with his right leg flying over to his left side, I’m not a pitching coach but it just seems strange, first guy I ever noticed doing this was David Price when he was with the Rays. https://www.mlb.com/video/lucas-giolito-strikes-out-six-x1999

Well, that’s how bad this organization is that we sign guys like these 2.

No but Kopech hasn’t been that great of a starter. Something missing with him.
