What "garbage stadium"?

Are you old enough to remember the old Comiskey park?  The place was falling apart and there was no money to rebuild it like the millions  i  profits from day traders that Roicketts used.

You can thank the citizens of Chicago for the new Comiskey, not the cheap piece of shit Reinsdorf.... 

Giolito may have been a product of spider tack. Sucks because I like the guy.

look at his baseball savant data it's a huge drop off from even last year. I wonder how much losing the sticky stuff is affecting his grip and that could explain the velocity drop too. 

I'm glad, but how in the world was he safe?

Pollock OPS #s since 2017 

2017 .801

2018 .800

2019 .795

2020 .881

2021 .892 

2022 .647

Of course he'd post his worse career year with us when we were trying to win a World Series. 

Hanging slider pounded right into the ground. I’m going to watch Dodgers and Mets.  Two franchises with massive turnarounds due to new ownership

Promising start to an inning ends with 3 hitters not being able to hit the ball out of the infield. Story of the season.

He's been here 2 years, 1 of them the Sox had arguably the best pitching staff in baseball. He took 2 starters who looked varying degrees of broken and they turned into CY contenders under him. He also did the same with Lucas before he got here, obviously.  It's on Katz to fix Lucas again, turn Kopech into the pitcher we all know he can be, etc. But Katz has clearly been a net positive since joining the organization. Firing him after this year would be insane.

"Firing him after this year would be insane".  Then with this organization it's a done deal!

The sad thing is, think of how excited we'd be if most of the team performed to expectations with the developments in the minors. 

Team cant even get a ball out of the infield

It’s amazing how we made the terrible Kimbrel trade even worse.

He was still effective and missed a ton of bats after the sticky stuff ban. I really don't think that's it.

I just hope this off-season isn't an "All IN" off-season where they sign over-priced, past prime, veterans to band-aid a bleeding club.

The 1st time I've ever seen a player review wrong. It's impossible for Vaugn to be a DP.

Madrigal is going to end up producing more 2022 value than Kimbrel or Pollock ?

for like 1/12th of the salary, too

What else are they going to do?

Balls just dies in RF huh?

I hate you do this to me but while the minors have had some guys perform well, it’s still very mediocre.  Lack of anything close to MLB-ready pitching is going to hurt next year.

Giolito is pitching batting practice for KC…

Could be that or having the rona twice in a calendar year. 

This is just so laughable. Everyone but the White Sox hits a ton of homers in GRF. 

I couldn't think of a more fitting nail in the coffin than getting swept by KC, at home, to put this team out of it's misery.
