This team is in serious trouble.

This current team can't pitch, hit or field. Other than than they're OK.

Because imagine an OF with Buxton and Robert in it . Buxton is legit MVP candidate right now . Leading MLB in Hr a great fielder and fast as anyone

I can imagine it. We’d need to carry 6 starting outfielders on the roster because Buxton and Robert would be missing more than half the games every year.

I've disliked LaRussa going way back to his Oakland years, but at least then he was competent . he won't be fired, but i think that he will be the focus of hatred from White Sox fans, all season, unless this thing gets turned around.

That's the only way small and mid market teams can afford guys like Buxton and Correa. Very creative contracts.

There's risk, but for MVP caliber players.

The White Sox only have Robert now that can measure up...as Jose's prime is now past.

Chuck, Ozzie, and Frank all roasting the fuck out of TLR right now. Wish Jason and Stoney would too. 

Honestly I feel the whole staff needs to go. I haven't been impressed with Katz. McEwing is a joke and Boston I have no clue what he does

Hendricks will be on the IL tomorrow. If we all could see he was injured how the hell doesn't TLR see it? 

Whether it’s IL worthy or not, if the radio guys are seeing him wincing all the time, the manager is supposed to be in charge and proactive.

Good. He never should have been hired to begin with. He belongs in a retirement center.

He was also young and affordable back then . If you never ever thought about getting an all world baseball player who is every bit as good now as Trout when healthy , there's just no reasoning with you.

Buxton signed for $100M, not exactly cheap. He’s great when he plays but he’s always hurt.

"Best team in the American League" they said. "World Series contender" they said.

He just signed a $100M contract. Is that cheap for a guy that doesn’t play more than half the games every season?

And it's better with seemingly half the team injured now?

I almost don’t want to hear LaRussa’s excuse for not coming out with the trainer in the 10th.

and he would have been even cheaper back in 2017 and 2018 which is when i was talking about acquiring him . JFC do I have to spell everything out to you ?

He didn't notice Anderson's middle finger either.

Back then he could barely hit .220 and most of his value was derived from defense but they definitely made the right choice between him and Berrios.

Since 2018, excluding the short season and this season, he’s averaging 59 games played per season. 59! Do I need to spell it out for you further? He can’t be counted on, simple as that.

He would just be another source of frustration for Sox fans, I’m sure of it

What do you think it is? He looked there was something wrong between every pitch. 

Back spasms maybe?

They tried to give the game away in the eighth. If the Twins get that bunt down, it never goes into extras. They were lucky to survive a walk and a two- base error. 

There no accountability. Tony will just shrug it off. As will Hahn and Kenny and JR

Mendick gonna be hitting 4th next game right ?
