Colas basically threatened to quit because he was still in the minors in 2022. He was then handed the starting RF job out of ST and he was beyond horrible. I honestly did not expect him to be as bad as he was, and his performance makes me question if he’s a major league player in any capacity. I would not doubt if 2023 was enough of a mixture of bad/immature behavior and abysmal performance for many in the organization to sour on him almost completely. I don’t disagree that he needs to work his way back into a starting major league role on this team. As much as I want to disagree with every front office decision they make right now. Whether it’s the White Sox fault he was so bad and immature in 2023 due to lack of player development is another story. Regardless, this is where we are at right now.

Yeah, I was joking/being sarcastic.

He’s trying.

Agreed and unfortunately I presented that information without an actual solution because of current ownership. But as I sit here right now, knowing what we know and experienced, I would enjoy White Sox baseball more getting to watch one of the best players in the league for the next four years and seeing Getz fail at “going for it” for all of those years. I know “going for it” has no chance, but it still sounds light years more enjoyable than what has transpired over the last four years. A complete train wreck trying execute a rebuild after trading all of our best players and acquiring some of the best young talent in baseball. The last two years exposed the ineptitude of current ownership more than any fan should ever have to experience. I wish I had better words, but basically if that is how Reinsdorf and co. will handle another rebuild, then just let me enjoy Robert, please. Getz can attempt best KW ‘05 every year and we can finish in 3rd place with a bunch white “grinders.” It’s all very sad. Lol?

If you are realistic about the state of the franchise and who the owner is, you also know we’ve been down this road before. Having the best trade commodities in MLB only brought us to this point right now.

You guys make the trade with those guys from Baltimore yet?

Isn’t that why they drafted him?

Unfortunately, DH is the only serious option to get Burger into the lineup on the reg. Hopefully Eloy’s kidney doesn’t fall out of his body in RF.

If Sheets isn’t hurt, Marisnick or Haseley will be sent back to Charlotte. No need for both players on the roster anyways.

This s%*# is honestly so stupid. There’s plenty to be upset about without manufacturing this embarrassing lip reading witch-hunt.

Sure, so sounds like you have enough to be mad at without making up things.

Why is this even a thing? Dude barely moved his mouth. Do people usually try to figure out everything a player mumbles to himself during a game?

I’ll allow it.

7.1 BB/9 in Charlotte. Something about him fitting right in..

Go Sox.

Is this actually 4 weeks minimum? 4-6 weeks caught me off guard. Hoping there’s some successful quicker recovery stories. This lineup is drastically weaker without Eloy in the middle. And Jake isn’t there to replace some of that power this time. This blows.

Right after the 3-run HR, first time I’ve voluntarily turned off the game this season. Can’t believe I made it that long. But now I’m here. Lord, help us all.

Guessing it is his 59 OPS+ for the year and .407 OPS over the last 14 days. I can’t imagine he is up for much longer.

I understand just fine, and I agree with your point in theory. I love Abreu, and have a ton of respect for him as a person and player. But if last year’s team performance was any indication of how this year would play out, the ship was already sinking with Jose on it. He could not do anything to stop it, and you saw it on his face every damn game. Combine that with his production this year, and he would be nothing more than part of the problem. And completely miserable. I agree the Sox should have replaced him with a superstar. They should have replaced him with three. I wish a big part of the issue was as simple as Abreu. Unfortunately, I don’t think he even moves the needle on this team.

This team would look exactly the same with Abreu’s .576 OPS. Only difference is José would be a lot sadder than he is right now with the Astros.

Yeah, well maybe I should have said “new” words. I’d rather not turn into the crazy guy standing on the street corner yelling the same thing at every person who walks by. Not saying that’s you, but be careful, man.

Yes, which was my point. I can no longer find words to describe what’s going on. It’s gone way past any way I can describe this.

How are you all still finding words for this?

Just win a fucking game somehow. At least show us that it’s not impossible. I hate you.

Berrios blows. If we cannot jump all over him and put up enough runs to hold off 12 walks from the White Sox pitching, we are never winning another game again.
