The curse of the whitesox

Not a single pitcher on this team looks good this year, compared to their ability. Just what in the living hell is Katz doing?

But....he and Giolito are pals! Reason enough to still be a pitching coach with no grasp of reality on this pitching staff.

This putrid offense has to score 4+ runs against Wheeler for a chance to win lol see y’all for game 2 ?

It sunk last year, and foolishly they thought replacing the captain of the ship (and the team) was going to help.

They may have accidentally backed themselves into the correct decision on Abreu. He's showing definite signs of decline right now.

every other decision from the off-season, however..

Please Philadelphia, keep piling it on. If this team isn't going to win anything this year,  I want them to be out of contention asap so I don't waste my time watching this sorry excuse for a major league team this year, and I want this front office to eat all of their lies and incompetency through getting just slaughtered and embarassed on the field. 

100 percent. 

Vaughn running a .400ish OBP is nice, at least

Nah no curse. Just Jerry Reinsdorf ownership.

Lynn just not getting it done 

He throws mostly fastballs, and his fastball is not good enough anymore to put people away.  We need a younger, leaner version of Lynn instead.

Robert has made solid contact a few times, but lots of first pitch ground outs lately.  Elevate it!

Keep Robert, Vaughn, Burger, Colas, Sosa, Zavala, Cease, Kopech, Lopez, Crochet, Banks, Middleton

Trade anybody and everybody else you can get a decent return on.

Is Eloy going to show a pulse at some point this season or nah?

I swear I read this as Vaughn running a 40.0 40 yard dash

1-13, 6 K's since returning. Definitive cleanup hitter.

Should have sat him and let Sheets play this game. Let Eloy face the LHP.

I'm not going to nitpick one of these ~3 hitters on the team who actually has a clue at the plate lol

Weak ass team never answers back

Dude has an OPS well below 500. He has been a massive massive bust.

No reason to keep him the next two years if you trade all those others.  Only thing that could happen is stock goes down.

Holding out hope a new owner will arrive in time to extend him ?

even if a trade would still make the most sense long-term
