Yep.  The sign of a good hitter.  🤣

Schriffen is impressed that Stone knows who the first base ump's dad is

John, his dad was also a major league ump also, you absolute bozo

Aside from being terrible at baseball, is something the matter with Nicky Lopez?

He never had a chance at the runner going to second, should have taken the sure out at first. You can be bad but don’t be dumb.

No, just bad.

What are the chances Flexen is on this team next year?  He is arb eligible in 2025.  Paid $1.75mm this year.  Sox wouldn't, would they?

They pretty much gor what they paid for.  He stayed healthy and ate innings every 5 days.  That's what you get for under 2 mil.

Beckham called that out right away 

I don’t think it’s possible to have less power in a big league lineup.  It’s like we have 9 Getz’s in the lineup.

Apparently the broadcast crew has no idea the White Sox used their challenge.

They’re going to lose 20 in a row again, aren’t they

He would know, because he used to do that too.

Will they win another game the rest of the season???

That’s what JR wanted.  A lineup of David Eckstein’s.  He loves “grinders” but my guess is that he truly loves their low paychecks even more.

Would anything even change if they didn’t?  

This has been an amazing inning.  I turned it on just in time to see the pitch sail over the catcher’s head.  Followed by the pitcher falling down and hitting the batter.  The coup de grace…brain fart by the pitcher with the high throw to shortstop and everyone safe.  It’s a high school team.

A bad HS team.

Fletcher and his limited power in a corner outfield is just a terrible decision.

Today’s starting pitcher and lineup is easily one of the worst in baseball history.

It seems the curse was lifted from the north side in 2016. It took a few yrs to migrate to the south side. How many decades will it take to rid ourselves if it?

No. 

I mean it's pretty clear we're in Bill Wirtz Blackhawks territory but the majority of that team that won 3 championships was in place before Bill Wirtz died. 

Bill Wirtz would probably not have signed off on Hossa, the guy that put them over the top.

The Legend crying about the high free agent prices for power hitters.  Jerry is probably pleased his loyal minion is spreading his message, with a hundred dollar cigar in his mouth.

I'm sure Jerry and Bill were BFFs. 

Jerry never said the quiet part out loud until he got older.

Is there any hope that JR will fire Getz or are we going to have to wait 5 seasons?

No way JR fires Getz after only one season.  We are likely stuck with him for 5+ seasons.

It’s crazy to write this, but no wins in September doesn’t seem impossible.
