Thoughts??????

 

I don't know how he'd be able to that with his power change up.  Lucas change up is all about eye level variance. 

That doesn't work with 2 seam sinkers .

This is the thing: Now that Musgrove has re-signed, isn't the SP market kind of thin outside of DeGrom(Who will probably be back with the Mets anyway, and has been injured way too much for what he will cost) 

Bassitt, Rodon, Verlander, Nola, Quintana, Perez are 6 guys in the top 30 of pitching WAR this season who are FAs or have player options next year.

My trade Lucas at the deadline thread looks good now

Rodon and Verlander aren't happening, and Nola will get his option picked up. 

I wouldn't trust Quintana or Perez to do it again because they've been pretty bad in recent years. 

Who knows about Bassitt. Idk what kind of year he's having.

Jeez, must be nice to hit homers.  Mediocre high fastballs go a long way.

Sox give away home field advantage quickly to home run hitting teams.

Steve Stone is batshit peddling this “they’ll come back” narrative.

How many Kraft Singles = Six runs? Need my calculator.

For the White Sox I don't believe any of them are happening because of how bad their budget situation is. You're right though Nola was a team option.

Let's go for a spin....

This whole not scoring the first five innings thing is just nuts

Yep they desperately need to retool the lineup, which includes cutting payroll in certain spots.  I wish someone other than Hahn was allowed to do it.

I have to turn on a VPN to watch Sox v Houston in Dallas because its blacked out.

Not anymore today.

I turned off my VPN.
Cancelled my Internet.

...and burned down my house.

For as bad as they are this year, they're likely to be worse next year. I have no idea how they can bring Abreu back. 

If the rumors of a $160M budget next year are true, they're in some deep shit. 

If they trade Moncada, they'd probably have to take an equally bad contract back.

The only thing left for today is to have a good player get injured down 10.

How could they be stealing signs if they are using that new pitch calling tech

Maybe they look at the pitch grip and relay the info to the batter?

Back to reality. This team did what EVERY team in MLB does in a 162 game season; won 5 in a row.  It was a total mirage and today brings us back to reality. We go to Cleveland 3 back and will leave there 4-6 games back and done.  No "fear" of a stretch run to save the season and TLR's job. Clean this entire front office and coaching staff out please.

FO is going nowhere unfortunately. Kenny and Rick have a job until Jerry dies.

I'll be honest, after the first four innings today...this does not seem excessive. ?

We will probably settle for Giolito as #5 starter.  Needs to adjust to more off speed pitches. That flat 92. Mph fastball in the strike zone is not going to cut it like we saw today.

There are like 4-5 people who know what the budget will be for next year, if that.

The fact that they are so in the White Sox heads speaks volumes.
