Are you f'ing kidding me? "You don't have the answer in all candor." My god, you put this shitty flawed roster together, as well as hiring the loser manager Grifol. 

Why the f*$k don't you have some answers? You are paid millions to have the damn answer. Your fans deserve more than your constant arrogant and condescending excuses.

I just don’t understand these MiLB moves lately. 
 

* You call up Scholtens immediately across the Clevinger injury. But you elect to pitch him in relief twice and now have no real starter for tonight. 
 

* You call up Remillard, who obviously had a career introductory night. But honestly, he wasn’t even the best option in AAA as an infielder (see Nate Mondou).
 

* Then you elect again to go even deeper with AA call-up Jose Rodriguez, in the midst of a poor 0.238 season, even when Lenyn Sosa is having a better season in AAA. Yes, we know his struggles in MLB across 103 at bats so far. But he has a 0.327 BA and 1.015 OPS. Keep giving him chances. 
 

* You call up Nick Padilla, maybe because he’s conveniently on the 40-man (are we scared anyone wants our talent these days?). He is struggling with a 5.09 era in AAA. Why not try 25-yr old Edgar Navarro with a 1.65 era in 21 appearances in AAA?!?

 

 

Things are getting hostile. Wait until Banks pitches. Snarky Steve should be back. Gordon Geecko go home.

Apparently Sosa is currently on the IL.

Ok. Didn’t hear that one. I probably would have preferred NOT starting Jose Rodriguez’s clock, and would have chosen Yolbert Sanchez instead. But it’s not too egregious now that Sosa is injured.

I bet you he would outrun most of the Sox players to first base, without injuring himself.

I agree the staff does a lot of good, though sometimes they are overruled.

 

Who's the wanker on the pregame with Garfien?

Banks is thr first White Sox lefty starter since Kuechels last start with rhe team 191 games ago.

Mike Huff. Ozzie is doing a Spanish broadcast tonight.

He was on the Sox from 91-93

.227 BA, .615 OPS, 2HR in 154 games. Would fit right in with this years team.

This is a late September get the season over and let's go golfing lineup.

By not bringing a reliever up in Seattle, and letting Scholtens start tonight, you're putting the bullpen in a hole for the series, after being heavily used last week and coming in from the West Coast late yesterday/this morning.

That's the point. 29 other teams bring up a reliever for Seattle, and start a starting pitcher on Monday.

Banks blows, but we all knew that

Banks starting is a white flag

I read it wrong. My fault

I just don’t like anything Tanner Banks does on the field.  He might be a nice guy and all but every time I watch him pitch he gives up runs

We might this week be looking at one massacre after another.

Benintendi being a statue in LF hasn’t helped 

After a while the Rangers will get tired from so much swinging.
