Ozzie for Manager

I didn't make it through the 5th. Glad I took off work to watch that pathetic display. Only 1 game but can Pereira be this bad? Good news is it's got to get better from here.

MLBPA can no longer give you a discount on mlbtv. Stopped because espn took over. Espn really supporting the mlbPA

The blackout BS is so stupid. I live in eastern NC. They consider the Nats and Orioles my local teams that are 5 hours away. Our cable provider does not even offer MASN that carries their games so there is literally no way for me to watch them. So I miss about 10 sox games per year on mlb TV. One thing you can do to get a cheaper price on mlbtv is to join the mlb retired players association for like $20 per year. They give you a 50% off code for mlbtv. And you support a good organization. Done it for 2 years and need to do it again

Sox should claim Banda, LH reliever from Dodgers. Got cut today. Need another left and he has been good with the Dodgers.

How bout Bo jackson. The first black white sox player with an artificial hip. Come on sox. Do better

So the bullpen could be a real strength, Dominguez, Hicks, Leasure, Taylor, You have to keep Eisert and Gilbert so you have some lefties, although we would all love an upgrade. Sandlin could also fit somewhere in the rotation or pen. If he has a strong spring maybe he is in the rotation. Getz is making some decent moves for now and the future. You know when everyone doesnt go crazy initially at the trade on here, its not that bad.

I think this is the first time a thread is completely unanimous that this was a good signing. Dominguez also got a overwhelmingly positive review from Sox talk as did Murakami. It was even mixed on the Robert trade. WTF is going on around here? I want my old soxtalk back where every move is terrible.😁

Getz said. "I got you mike"

It's been a long time since I felt we could hold a 1 or 2 run lead heading to the 8th. Maybe this is the year. If or starters are decent we could have an ok year

So Ohtani makes more than the white sox team combined. Elite company to be in.

Now do Benintendi

You must be referring to the immortal Oliver Dunn. Just wait till they sign Vinny Crapa back.

As someone who left NJ for eastern NC, I hated ever going into the city. I prefer my 1.3 acres, inground pool, 3000 SF house, 1000 SF woodshop and only the sound of animals at night on my outdoor patio while I drink my bourbon, smoke my cigar and watch the sox blow the game in the 9th while I cuss JR with nobody to hear me but the coyotes and deer. All for a fraction of the cost of Manhattan. But it's really personal preference. Glad you enjoy it.

I agree with you. NYC is a shathole and getting worse. Its why half the NY players used to live outside the city. Part of the reason they have to pay so much is because of the taxes. If the Marlins had owners that wanted to win they would be the destination along with Tampa. Live in NYC and make 10 million per year you only get about 4.7 million of that 10 million. Live outside the city and get almost 5.2. Florida you get 6.1 million.

So which Left handed starter are we taking?

Tonight is the night. Sacrifice chickens or your first born if you need to. Everything is on the table. I have decided to pull out the reinsdorf voodoo doll.

Bring back Crapa so I can keep betting against him not getting a hit

I stand corrected. He is 27. I was looking at his age at his mlb debut. He is still a really damn good hitter with a couple years of control left. Hit lefties at 271 last year. 3.7 oWar over last 2 years. Not great defensively.

Burleson is 24 years old. Not 28. You could get a 2nd player for quero

Alec burleson is on the trading block. Guy can hit

If he is in listening mode let's hope Jerry isn't talking to him

Vargas made a pretty big jump from 2024 to 25. If he makes another jump than maybe he hits .265 with 22 HRs and 80 rbis and .770 OPS. That's a decent player to have in the lineup. Are you really going to get anything back in a trade better than that.

Wichita state and Rice were 2 schools that come to mind also. When the SEC decided they wanted to dominate baseball it hurt a lot of schools. Arkansas bought Zach Root from ECU and he wasn't high in the draft this year. And auburn bought our left fielder last year. Trey was offered i heard 250k but wake forest but wouldn't leave ECU and his pitching coach.

He did come back in the ncaa tourney and was dominant. I was at the game. Lots of teams missed. ECU not the SEC but have the 6th most active major leaguers now. With 8. Some damn good pitchers. Gavin williams Alec burleson Jeff hoffman Shawn Armstrong Carson whisenhunt Zach agnos Connor norby

Looks like the scouts didn't think that highly of him. Low ceiling. No plus pitch. Lol
