March 27, 20196 yr We're in for a super long season if the team ends this stretch less like .425 ball. The schedule is so easy to start and the Royals (6 games), Tigers (7 games) Orioles (6 games) should all be markedly worse than the Sox this season. Those teams are dreadful.

That's 52 win pace against a super soft schedule. Unless you think this team is potentially the worst of all time that's not realistic.

March 27, 20196 yr I really hope we are fucking terrible the first half of the season so Kenny doesn't trade Cease/Robert for Michael Wacha or something. Get much better after the deadline please.

March 27, 20196 yr They start 0-8, fire Ricky, hire Ozzie, go 7-0, then another 0-8, fire Ozzie, bring back Ricky, finish at 12-18.
March 27, 20196 yr Hopefully something like 19-11 so that Hahn can go out there and trade Madrigal or Cease for someone like James Shields. Who's that in todays game --- Julio Teheran? Alex Cobb? Jordan Zimmeran? Giddy up. Can't wait for this season to start. In my whole life I've never been more nonchalant about a season's start. I've either worked from home or taken the day off my whole career -- this year I doubt I'll even flip the game on. I'll probably watch the Astros/Rays over the garbage they're dumping out to us fans.
March 27, 20196 yr Can we stop conflating trading a 17 year old with trading well established prospects? Thanks
March 27, 20196 yr Lindor just hurt himself again, so I feel better about my 'White Sox in 1st after 30 games' prediction

Unless you think this team is potentially the worst of all time that's not realistic. I think this team may be historically bad but more than likely 90-100 losses. Unless some of the prospects start to deliver in which case I will be wrong. Recent Whitesox prospect history has taught me to not be optimistic when it comes to our prospects development.
March 27, 20196 yr 12-18 if they get all games in. The pitching is awful enough that it really doesn't matter if they have a cupcake schedule.

It may be the softest first 30 day schedule in baseball history and that honestly might not be an exaggeration. 22 games out of 30 against four full-on rebuilding clubs.

You’re nuts bro. The Tigers, Royals, Orioles, & Mariners will legit be horrible and way worse than us. We play those teams a combined 50 times this year. We will likely suck, but we won’t be historically bad.

What exactly are we? IMO we are pretty much hot garbage right now. I may be wrong about how bad we are, if Moncada learned to hit, Anderson Can get on base at even say .330 clip Eloy can put up a solid year. Our sadly mediocre staff can have 3 guys stay healhy and have decent years. If Abreu does not fall off much more. Just too many if's for me to feel confident we can escape with under 90 L's. (Note, after we traded Lee for Pods and Lost Mags I predicted a. 500 season at best sooooo.) Edited March 28, 20196 yr by Soxbears2001

We aren’t good either, but we’re better than the four teams I mentioned and that will help out to some extent.

(Note, after we traded Lee for Pods and Lost Mags I predicted a. 500 season at best sooooo.) You're talking about 90 losses here but in your earlier post you said it was realistic to go 9-21 against a bunch of teams just as bad or worse than we are. If 9-21 against them is realistic then against the rest of the schedule you'd expect even worse than that. Which means you think it's realistic to expect this team to be worse than the 2003 Tigers.
