Joe Kelly cost the Sox $7M this season. He will make $9M next season. For what is essentially a garbage time relief pitcher. At least LOLeury is cheap.

Plus Luery pitches better too.

D backs 60-67, kicking some ass tonight. I’m almost jealous.

Their future could be awesome. I love some of the athletes they have offensively.

It's possible.

Kelly might end the season with a WHIP of 2 and an 8+ ERA.

I love that immediately after we see quotes about how the humidor effected the ball too much at GRate we see the ball flying out everywhere.

For the Royals.

Opponents scoring at will inning after Sox score 

We get one run behind and here comes Banks instead of ReyLo.  We hardly ever bring in our best relievers when we are behind one run.

Kelly, Diekman and Leury are three guys no one in baseball would bring back for another season.  The Sox will be paying them almost 20 million next year.

This team has yet to contend t his year. Bag your face fans

Fire everyone.

Losing 9-5 what a way to play a ball game. Barely gettin' by, it's all losing and no Fall games.

How can Hahn survive this season?  It’s unbelievable how bad of a job he’s done.

He's the worst GM in baseball, and he was among the worst three GMs in baseball every year in his tenure.

This includes 2020 when he won that ridiculous GM of the year award in the garbage lockout 60 games for signing Edwin Encarnacion, Dallas Keuchel, Yasmani Grandal, Nomar Mazara, Gio Gonalez, Steve Cishek, and his lone trade deadline move with two available starters heading into the playoffs was Jarrod Dyson.

I think all would be in the big leagues next season tbh, albeit not at those dollar amounts to be certain. 

Plenty of time and talent. 

Gavin fucking Sheets

Menechino fuming right now.

7 runs and going to lose

I can’t wait for us to put a prediction thread together for what we think will happen with TLR, Hahn and players on this roster. It’s almost like I don’t care how this season ends since this team hasn’t shown they can compete and go on a streak to get ahead of the Twins and Guardians. Can’t wait for the autopsy thread.

Honestly, I just tune in now to watch Eloy and Sheets possibly kill the ball. There's really nothing else.

LOL Sox hit 3 Hr's and give up 4

E#- 29

Cairo just as terrible as TLR. One run down and using garbage time scrubs. Of course they give up 5 more runs. It's amazing.

Who is ready for Sheets and Eloy to get the day off tomorrow? You guys know it's happening.

I get what you're saying, because of expectations.  Like, look at Baltimore.  They are exciting because of where they were and what they are doing.  I still don't think there's a chance of theme winning the WS this year.

What are some (if any) historical comparables to this White Sox team?  A lot of people had them near (at least) the top of the AL.
