Timmy U

I believe Menechino will be fired. I think they are saving him to be the scapegoat so they don’t have to make broader institutional change.

Well, that sucks. On the bright side, guy hit a HR with a broken hamate

Nice list. Very informative. The only real surprise for me was Veras. He has outperformed Kath at 2 levels. Neither of them look that great at 3rd. I get the bat-first profile, but I can’t think of 20 guys I’d have ahead of him let alone 30. Then again, I have a pretty low opinion of the Sox “pitching depth” like Bilous, Stiever etc. Anyway, really interesting read. Thanks for all the work you guys do over there.

They have a ton of people coming off the books after next year. They may have to eat a lot of money and play young guys next year and hope to contend in 2024. Fire. Everyone.

Ump’s ball/strike map is going to be fascinating. All over the place today.

Why take him out now?

Well, it wasn’t much fun while it lasted. Very unlikely to get out of this one.

Of. Bad call.

16 base runners in 7 innings. Normally, you would expect to score 7-10 runs. They have 4. 3-10 w RISP is not horrible, but once again, they never score with a runner on 3rd and less than 2 out.

Diekman lucky things didn’t go worse considering how few strikes he threw.

This team seems to be looking for sliders off the corner. Strange. 9 lob plus 2 gidp. Can’t say they didn’t have chances.

So far between the two teams 11 singles, 8 walks, 3 hbp 7 runs 12 lob. Can’t be zzzzzzz at the old ballpark.

To be fair KC also sucks.

11 base runners in 5 innings, 3 runs. That’s not east to do. Plus, one of the runs is a complete gift.

What is going on with Carlos Hernandez? He always looks like Cy Young against us.

Lynch getting squeezed a bit there.

Nope.

Yeah, when Getz says part of the Birmingham Project is to get all of the guys to buy into the White Sox philosophy, one hopes it’s not “groundball through the hole on a 3-1 count.”

Ellis is there. So is Mena. Full list in Fegan’s article.

Love this. Kath is a surprise, but given the progress he has made recently, this will be a nice standard to measure himself for the off-season. Nice to see Veras, Gladney, and Mieses included. I suspect this means Charlie Romero is in fact a thing, but I suppose Andy Barkett will be there too.

Yep, much needed thread. Everyone in this org should go except Getz, Katz, and maybe Southpaw. I’d get rid of him too, but knowing Jerry he’d bring back Ribbie, Rhubarb, and Don Cooper dressed as Waldo the White Sox Wolf.

Add KW to the list. Also, before you start firing the analysts, shouldn’t the Sox hire some?

Popeye HR.

Interesting that Vaughn is the one who sits. I hope his face isn’t messed up from last night. Poor roster construction means that at least one of Vaughn, Pollock, Eloy, and Abreu has to sit against righties when Robert is actually healthy. They need to address this in the offseason. My first choice is to get rid of Pollock. That is also my second choice. I can see arguments to get rid of Abreu or Vaughn or Eloy. I kinda favor either letting Abreu go or trading Vaughn. Sox have too many 1b types.

I am also very interested in Eloy's future with the team, but there's a whole thread about that. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?/topic/113066-eloy-is-dead-again/&page=6 I come to the future sox board to get away from all the disappointment with the mlb team.
