I wish the Crosstown Series would end.
-
I could care less about Senzel. Another meaningless move for a team going nowhere.
-
Schriffen never should have been hired. Stoney should have left a long time ago.
-
Schrifffen is just bad, and I don't think he'll improve. I don't know why Stone is still doing this. He should be able to find something else to do. We shouldn't have to use the mute button to watch a game.

7/14 - Pittsburgh @ White Sox - 1:10 pm, Keller v. Shuster
Highland replied to WestEddy's topic in 2024 Season in Review
The main point about the White Sox is that the franchise is adrift. Money won't be spent on free agents, and, when it is, it is not spent wisely. So, they are relying on prospects. But many prospects don't work out, and you never know how long it will take for a young player to develop. So, when will the team truly get better? No one knows and that includes the FO. But we do have an announcer who knows nothing about baseball and growls a lot. -

Maybe not, but they would still be in last place. Eloy and Yoan just aren't very good. This team isn't very good to say the least. -

Didn't see this play, but Benintendi has proved to be a bad outfielder. Hits the occasional home run but that is about it. -
'Real talent' can make real money elsewhere and have a chance at winning while they are it. There is no path to .500 for 2025. Probably not 2026 either.
-
I don't care who they draft. He'll just run over a semi anyway.
-
Exactly. It is one thing to be a homer, it is another thing to insult our intelligence. This will be the worst Sox season ever, and there is no way to sugarcoat that. This guy is probably harmless, but he is also a symbol of how badly this team is run. Again, the Sox put an inexperienced person in a high-profile position. Schriffen needs to learn more about baseball and something about White Sox history. His "stand up southside" is dumb because he knows nothing about the south side. He needs to learn his job, and he can start by doing some research. Then describe the game as it happens and forget the hard sell.

Watching Robert Jr tells it all. Started back but quickly realized it was long gone. Body language sagged. Kind of symbolized this season. Should have swept this series. How about another rebuild?
-
From the very start, Kopech has been a disappointment. He was over-hyped when he first came up. He had no command back then. He has never really found himself. That Burger HR sure went a long way. Waste of another good start.
-
Saying they will be better than 2024 isn't saying much. They need to spend but I doubt that they will.

Sox at Fish 7-6 3:10CDT, Crochet on the bump
Highland replied to chitownsportsfan's topic in 2024 Season in Review
Another bad offensive performance. Should have won this game. The Marlins left a ton of runners on. But the Sox looked dead after the first three innings. Didn't know the Marlins staff was that good. But at least Bennitendi got two hits on his birthday. -
Schriffen says he was aiming at “Sportscasters”
Highland replied to Chick Mercedes's topic in Pale Hose Talk
In the second Marlins game, talked about what a great day Benintendi was having on his birthday. True, the guy had two hits, but one was an infield dribbler off the end of his bat. He then grounded out to second. So, on his birthday, Benintendi got one ball out of the infield in three at-bats. Then he butchered a play in left. Schriffen is so annoying. -
In addition to this bad season, there is no sense of urgency to improve things in the short run. And now Kenny Williams wants to return.
-
I wonder if KW came out with this because something is already in the works. He can sit right next to LaRussa. Getz can then rubber stamp things.
-
Don't count on being competitive by 2030. Not with this bunch.
-
It isn't almost offensive; it is offensive. I know this guy has to be a homer, but he needs to rein it in. The team is on its way to its second straight 100-loss season. That has never happened in franchise history. You can't sugar-coat that.
-
None, and that is a reflection of the whole situation. They should have built a winning team around him and didn't. They are in a perpetual state of rebuilding. When they will have a winning team is anyone's guess, but I don't think it will be any time soon. But they do have an announcer that growls.
-
I agree on Sale. Since trading him, the Sox have won two post season games. When do they stop trading for prospects?
-
A team should not trade a talent like Crochet.
-
I could care less about Richard Roeper.
-
Attendance is better than I thought it would be. But then again, I am an old guy who remembers the early 1970s and crowds of less than 1,000.
