I was too busy averaging all the numbers of the opening line-up on a calculator, lol.

Just have GameDay right now.  Not even audio.

0.6265555 is the average OPS of the starting line-up tonight, to be exact.

 

 

I was doing the same for a few days. Avg, OBP, OBS, etc. etc. and I just got depressed and stopped even looking. 

You got a TI-83+ or what you using for ur calculations?

Its like our star trade deadline acquisition from GM Getz, is writing the ineptitude journal for me, play by play.

He is absolutely awful.  He does nothing well.

Vargas 65 wrc+

already at -0.3 fWAR and plummeting.   Those numbers would be even uglier if just isolated to the White Sox.

 

Lifetime -0.7 fWAR

No Texas Instruments, although my uncle worked there for quite some time as an engineer, lol.

 

Well, that's likely the premature death of this game.  WELP.

This pitch calling is awful as well

He's shaking off Lee a lot.

Crisis averted!

Now we just need some Offense.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Vargas will likely be dead last in fWAR since the trade deadline after tonight.

This isn't Tennis robbie STOP GRUNTING

That's pretty tough to accomplish, if you deliberately set out to find the very worst players.

Is that considered bad?

He couldn’t do worse if he was trying to

How sad is it that Getz basically negated his one really good offseason acquisition?  He literally got trash back for a 4+ WAR starter on a cheap contract.

Somehow we went from a bad GM to an even worse one.

Like I’ve been saying since the beginning of the season, a monkey throwing darts at pictures of players could do a better job than Getz.

Only 2 guys in the SF lineup are lower than our HIGHEST OPS.

The Dodgers and Cardinals are probably still laughing at Getz about that trade.

Still can’t believe they’ve traded Cease, Burger, Fedde and Bummer and have so little to show for it.  That will set the rebuild back quite a bit.

Still impressed by Martin. Definitely a top 3 in the rotation next year if he stays healthy.

Wish Sizemore would have left him in to finish the 5th.

Hasn’t had back to back games with multiple hits all season.

I’m all for trading older expensive guys for prospects but in this case, the Sox would be better off if they had all of those guys back.  A monkey could get a better return for all of them next offseason.

Anyone else watching DNC? Way more impressive than the Sox.

And yet he still wasn't the dumbest Park of that trade.

Preller getting Getz to take back Wilson instead of prospects was a pure fleece.

Pretty bad.

And yet, not as bad as our 'cornerstone' pickup of the trade deadline:

 

WHY WOULD RICK HAHN DO THIS???
