I know, but the Sox won't be a legitimate contender until he is 30 or older. This roster is far worse than the 2016 roster, there will be no quick turnaround. Robert is the only player I wouldn't trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he's actually one of the fastest players on the Sox team for 2023 because he consistently hustled...and already deceptively quick for that body type. Sprint speed has nothing to do with consistent hustle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah people need to get over it, he has nowhere to play here because of other stupid extensions and this team blows anyways. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 One of the worst losses of the season, maybe the worst. A terrible team annihilates the Sox who muster four hits. What a joke of a team, organization. Remains one of the worst seasons in all our lifetimes because of the lack of effort and lack of having a clue in all regards. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason to pencil the Sox into one's budget. Maybe go to one game for the corned beef sandwich. Why'd u go with 'new Comiskey' in your sentence? Is it gonna change names (I hope)?

There is if you have watched Moncada all season long and then watched him against the Yankees. If you run at 75-85% all of the time, obviously your times on the base paths will suffer.

Pale Sox Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 You would think down by 13 they could indulge the Lambert family and have Jimmy pitch, but that would require some modicum of awareness and class that Pedro does not possess. He’s such a bad manager, man. Just atrocious. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burger 3 run homer at Dodgers Stadium tonight. Worst Hahn’s move of the year. Lynn won against the Marlins last night also, a 4 hitter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn won against the Marlins last night also, a 4 hitter. To be fair no one on here was saying keep Lynn, some even wanted him Dfa'd, the fact that he is pitching better since leaving, like Diekman, like Graveman and Middleton (small sample I know) suggests that the improvement may be due to leaving the loser culture of the White Sox, or getting coached properly. The poor form of Giolito in 4 games since leaving might suggest otherwise, but it seems more than just a coincidence that so many are pitching better since leaving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcq Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Whew! That was a close one. According to Steve and Johnnie tonight's Sox radio will be on 720 WGN. I am guessing the Bears are on 1000 their new home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox will have multiple bumped games the rest of the season: 9/10 at Tigers - likely bumped for Bears Pregame 9/17 vs. Twins - Bumped 9/24 at Boston - likely bumped for Bears Pregame 10/1 vs. San Diego - Bumped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always have the Sox and the Marlins on together, but usually only pay attention to the Sox game, when Robert Jr. is up . I watched the Marlins for 10 years when I lived down there, and i'm just glad that I have them to fall back on this year . I can never recall feeling this way about the Sox before . they really just disgust me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
