Instead of Elko at first base and Vargas at third base the team has Rojas at third base and Vargas at first base. I assumed when Elko was brought up he would be given a decent chance to see what he could produce. That wasn't the case. I remember when he hit a home run in one of the games and then was pinched hit for the nest time up. Perhaps Getz wants to give Rojas a chance after spending $3. 5 million on his contract.

You have Rojas on the team because Getz signed him to a 3.5 million dollar contract.

Can't help but wonder what the White Sox are going to do with Robert Jr. He looks like he couldn't hit me.I know he can't be sent down to the minors without his permission. Maybe he might agree to that. All I know is he doesn't look like a MLB hitter anymore.

Teel and Elko are hitting in the minors. Perhaps they might be called up sooner rather than later. What harm would there be in bringing them up?

The Illinois legislature came up with their budget bill yesterday. Nothing was done about the stadium situation for either the Bears or White Sox. What happens now, if anything? I can't see the Bears paying $5 billion dollars for a new stadium. They're not exactly known for spending money. Unless the Ishbia family pays for a new White Sox stadium I certainly can"t see JR paying for a new stadium. Maybe both teams will just stay at their present stadiums.

The White Sox are now 3-14 in one run games.

Seems like Elko isn't in the plans of the team. I remember when he hit a home run in a game recently and the next time up he was pinch hit for. Looking back at it i can't figure out why Elko was even called up from the minors. I hope he gets traded to some team and is given a chance to play every day.

I'm old enough to remember when the team drew less than 500,000 in 1970. Considering this will probably be another 100 loss season i don't think an attendance of 1.4 million is so bad.

The White Sox will probably draw what they did in 2024, somewhere around 1.4 million fans. Not a bad number considering everything. It's still a decent place to go see a game. Their tickets are priced for the average fan and you won't go broke going there like you do at Wrigley Field. The parking is great. The food is great and this years promotions/giveaways are tremendous. All they need now is a good team.

If the Governor of Illinois wants to help out the Bears financially it will be done.The Democrats have a super majority in this state. I'm convinced that the Governor of Illinois will help the Bears with money for the new stadium. I don't think there is anyway the Bears will pay $5 billion dollars for a stadium. How this will affect the White Sox proposed new stadium, I don't know.

From what I know the Ishbia brothers now own half of the White Sox stock. I take it that they are going to be the next White Sox owners someday. You mention how JR uses O.P.M. (other peoples money). I would think the only way JR would put money into a new stadium is with money from the Ishbia brothers.(O.P.M.) JR won't put a cent of his own money towards a new stadium. If the Ishbia brothers put money towards a new stadium, hopefully they will take over the team also.

He might not be the bombing savior but all I'm saying is he deserves a chance. I'm tired of seeing Taylor , Rojas and some of their other players not produce..

You've posted in the past how you're not a fan of so called rebuilds. I happen to agree with you. What difference is there between rebuilding and losing on purpose? This rebuilding/losing on purchase is just a scam. The rebuild=low payroll and more money for the owner. This team lacks power hitters. Tim Elko who has power was brought up for a few games and hit 3 home runs. He was then sent down again. Is anybody going to tell me this isn't losing on purpose?

Tim Elko would be a better choice if you want to add power.

This handling of Elko has to be one of the strangest things I've seen. I take it Elko doesn't fit into the future of the team. Yet we are subjected to seeing Taylor, Rojas and Palacios every day in the lineup. Are these 3 players part of the teams future? Looking back at this Elko situation I can't understand why they called him up for a few days.

I read a couple days ago that one of the politicians told the Bears to try and get together with the White Sox in terms of 2 new stadiums. The Bears didn't do that. I've read that the new Bears stadium will cost $5 Billion dollars. If that's true does anybody really think that the Bears are going to come up with that type of money? It wouldn't surprise me if they stayed at their present stadium. Its been really quiet about a new White Sox stadium.

What more does Elko have to prove in the minor leagues? I get the impression that the White Sox management doesn't have a high opinion of Elko. A couple of weeks ago Elko hit a home run in a game and a few innings later they pinched hit for him. If they are not going to play him in the majors I would think they would have the decency to trade him. Elko is suppose to be a really nice guy. His teammates speak highly of him. I hope he's given a chance somewhere if not here.

If I was Elko I would asked to be traded. I would like to think that some other MLB team would want him. There's no reason why he should be back in the minors.

Elko being sent down is crazy but I'm not surprised. These goofs who run this show don't think much of Elko. Recently Elko hit a home run in a game and was later removed for a pinch hitter. Obviously he is not in their future plans. Steve Stone who has become a notorious houseman has pointed out a few times that Elko has the one thing in MLB that teams are looking for, POWER. I'm curious to see what Stone says about Elko being demoted. I would guess he won't say anything. I hope the White Sox have the decency to release Elko. He would be picked up by some team and be a starter. If they released Vaughn I don't think any body would pick him up and start him in the MLB. He would probably be picked up by somebody and be in the Minors.

The idea that JR eats, sleeps and drinks baseball has to be one of the greatest myths in history. If he loved baseball as much as he says he does he would have improved this team this past off season. Obviously, he doesn't care if this team keeps losing.

Bad thing is, this losing doesn't bother JR one bit. The team was the worse team in MLB history in 2024 and JR did nothing this past off season to make the team better for this season. It doesn't say too much about his character. He simply wants the team to have a low payroll. Low payroll= big profits. I realize that Getz is doing what he is told to do by JR but that doesn't say much for his character either. If Getz had any character at all he would resign and have some other hand picked stooge take the job.

Getz is just doing what he's told to do by JR. They don't care if the team is losing as long as the team has a low payroll. I've pointed out before, low payroll = big profits for owner. This doesn't say much for JRs character. How much money does he need? He's a billionaire. You would think he would be ashamed to have a team so bad but evidently he's not.

Is Slater somebody who you would consider long term?

So much for our youth movement.

Yeah good teams beat bad teams. But did you notice that a bad Angels team swept the Dodgers this weekend? Its disgraceful that the White Sox have lost 8 straight games to the Cubs. Its even more disgraceful that White Sox ownership doesn't care.
