With TA going down this looks like a lost season for sure now.

another lower half injury, what the fuck is this training staff doing these last few years?

im in missouri watching on mlb.tv and have no issues

are you using mobile data? I cant watch our games unless im connected to a local network. ATT's server for me is in Chicago otherwise.

Trout doesn't give up an out just to move the runner over to third, he pisses on the ball no matter what the situation is. AV's atbat went from good patience, plate discipline, to swing at everything just to move TA over.

Look at the positives guys, not 1 groundball

It was pretty clear Vaughn changed his approach when Anderson got to second base. He just tried to push the ball to right field and took some awful swings. Wish they would just let him loose and tell him to just mash the ball.

Yes. Quad issues

honestly would be surprised if we score more than 3 runs today

Oh I agree, I am just thinking of salvaging this current window. I dont think its possible. If you gave me the choice between trying to make this work and starting over with competent people I would rip the bandaid off and pack the FOs bags myself.

100% agree with you, unfortunately that process would take years to complete. Its too late to do anything.

The only way any of this happens is if Jerry croaks, and that just doesnt look like its going to happen anytime soon. Jerry is going to outlive us all.

Nightly occurance for this organization

2016 was a miserable season, it really was and anybody saying this year is worse just doesnt remember.

I think the Twins are real because their org isnt a failure, 70-30 a no from me

Eloy is dangerously close to bust territory

Ill say it and be on the record, Eloy is a bust.

Startling.

Ah yep, but that Cuda tweet above makes it all moot.

I am a pessimistic poster, but I blame that on the fact that the White Sox organization has so many issues with it that its hard for me to feel hopeful. Have a good lineup? Give them a terrible hitting coach/hitting philosophy. Have a player get hurt? There is no depth in the minors to replace the loss. Enter a competitive window? Have a GM and owner refuse to upgrade the club over money and/or lack of scouting Chance to make the playoffs for the first time in 14 years? Hire an 80 year old with no idea how the modern game has changed. Have a great team? The other teams in the league are much more efficient and well rounded Have a plethora of analytical minded people to join the front office to improve every facet of the team? Hire a pitching coaches son to "head" the analytical department even though he has no experience in that field. All of the above is due to an owner that just refuses to sell or die.

I was surprised to see that pitchers have a 5.37 ERA when pitching to Grandal vs 3.60 ERA from last year. What changed here? No Rodon I guess? Thats a huge difference

The post we all needed.

Having 0 funds in our minors isnt helping either. Every team loses players to FA or injuries, but they have guys coming up that fill in nicely. Look at the Twins and Astros. See who replaced Correa, he has the best numbers in the league right now. With an above average farm we could have had 2 or 3 guys fill in on the cheap and make a big impact. Instead we send our future first baseman out to right field and hope he can catch the ball because theres no other option. All in all: Its not 1 thing, its multiple facets that all point to the FO.

They hired Duncan's son as head of analytics, a position he knew nothing about until the hiring. A buddy hire to quell the anger of the fanbase after seeing what the Indians, Rays, and less fortunate teams have been doing in their system. Hes working hard at it now, but has admitted he cant talk to TLR about anything analytics. Currently hes being tutored in statistics by a professor. Sounds silly doesnt it? Thats our organization. The FO is probably unaware of what you just wrote, and as long as they continue to fill Jerrys and their own pockets with money they dont care.
