Ozzie for Manager

It's about time to acknowledge Eder is not a SP. Make the transition to RP and hope for the best. Just an awful trade overall. Hopefully we can salvage something.

Of course not, Jerry said it's not a rebuild.

Davis Martin has been at least one bright spot coming back from injury. He might stick in the rotation next year. Next year's staff might be serviceable at least. Crochet, Thorpe, Cannon, Martin all appear to competent major league pitchers so far and all are young with lots of control. Imagine if games were only 6 innings long, we might have won 60 games this eyar.

I am looking over Fletcher and Mccarthy and cant understand why we would pick DF. Mccarthy had performed much better, was the same age, has a lot of speed that Fletcher doesnt have. Tore up AAA and did well in the majors so far. So why choose Fletcher. Just another bad move. They need to do the George Costanza approach and do the opposite of whatever they are thinking in the future.

Lost in the fact is that Burger was injured, And not just a tweaked hamstring or anything. It was a intercostal injury which is in the muscles in his ribs. Not a good injury for a power hitter. You think maybe that was why he struggled. Now you want to discount what he has done when healthy after the break. Should we discount what he did after the trade deadline last year in 53 games with a .303 average, 9 hrs and a 850 OPS. When healthy he produces . I will take 3.1 offensive WAR for a DH for 750K, at least hold onto him until he has 2 years left and he is putting up 35 HRs per year. You might get something better than a bad minor league pitcher.

Aaron Judge on the 2024 white sox doesnt change the outcome of the season one bit either.

Just wait until tomorrow. We can do worse.

Since we are into video games now Jerry is giving the fans atari while the rest of the league gets Playstation.

4.2 oWAR in the last 1.5 years. 57 HRs and 132 rbis. I will take that. I would say the numbers show he is actually good. He had 4 years of control left. Why trade him? He was going into his supposed prime years. Without the missed omit time this year he might hit 40hrs. And he makes 750k this year

Just keeps getting worse annd worse. He would be leading our team in average, hrs, rbis right now. He now has 11 HRs in his last 17 games. Not too mention he is the best clubhouse guy we had. And we traded him for a middle of the road prospect coming back from injury. How many years of control did we have?

My 18 yr old son sent me a text the other day that he thinks he broke the news story on Stone leaving. Lol. I thought he was joking, then he sent me this. He may have done it.

We talk about how bad the Beni signing was. 15 million per year for 5 years. But I happened to see a guy I forgot got a huge deal that make ours look pretty decent. Anthony Rendon might go down as one of the worst signings ever. 7 years 245 million. He has 22 HRs in 5 years so far, only 850ABs. Beni has 17 hrs and almost 900 ABs. He has produced a 1.6 WAR. Rendon is making 38 million per year this year and the next 2. Then there is Kris Bryant, 17 HRs in 3 years and they have him for 27 million per year for 4 more years after this one. So I was wondering how many other contracts are out there way worse than AB's.

Could it really be any worse? You could hire some church league softball guys and it would be tough for them to lose 21 straight games.

Pedro got a raw deal. Sox have been playing .500 ball under him over the last 2 days, with a +3 run differential. Leave it to the white sox to ignore progress.

I'm up 2000 mostly being against the sox. Keep it going. Lose by at least 2 tomorrow

Who knew managing baseball meant serving and including people?

When Yoan officially misses the rest of the year he will have made just over $641,000 per official AB this year. I hope he doesn't get signed by anyone next year or he just gets a minor league deal

Define Offensive

So who else is ready to see every baseball writer in America pick the white sox as the Losers of the trade deadline.

Getz feels he is a cornerstone of the turnaround, too valuable to trade.

If the Orioles stand pat and ended up just keeping almost all their prospects, and all they got was Eflin and Rogers, then I am really pissed if I am an O's fan. Basically you arent trying to win it this year. You blew another year of the window.

A little under 4 more hours left til the deadline. We still look like we will be stuck with Dejong, Lopez, Brebbia, Wilson, Moncada, ILoy, Beni, Flexen, Banks. All guys who will do nothing to help this year or next. Do something Getz, get some 18-19 yr olds at least.

Every hour that goes by Getz looks like more and more of an idiot. Norby will be a 20-25 HR, 15 SB, .280 hitter with a .800 OPS for many years.

Except if you are the white sox and Chris Getz, and you traded Michael Kopech for a couple dozen baseballs and 10 shiny new batting helmets.

We can be the Dodgers AAAA team.
