Capn12 Posted Tuesday at 08:36 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:36 PM Can we just stop the Vargas at lead off experiment already? Everyone knows Meidroth is the best option there, I don't care how long he has been in the bigs. Just stop already. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted Tuesday at 08:38 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:38 PM Why in God's name are we giving Palacios playing time over Baldwin? Point 2...can the wearing of #42 jerseys across MLB manage to pass the entire day without becoming another pitched political saga, let's hope so!!!

Not sure Getz is willing to acknowledge failure quite yet...he's also still one of the likeliest to walk, along with Tauchman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we can always use another 29 almost 30 year old OF with a -0.6 career bWAR and a .228 career batting average!!! And an almost above average for Sox 665 ops in the NL...but a robust 462 in the AL. Edited Tuesday at 08:56 PM by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly everyone and it's a gamethread. Everything gets blown out of proportion and nothing is as important as a bunch of stiffs and rookies playing baseball perfectly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughn should be batting 8th or not at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow even Vargas hasn't looked terrible but he's due. It's sad they put out such a powerless inept lineup day after day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoUEvenShift Posted Tuesday at 09:13 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 09:13 PM (edited) Others have speculated the lineups don't come from the manager. That may indeed be the case Edited Tuesday at 09:14 PM by DoUEvenShift 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteSox2023 Posted Tuesday at 09:33 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:33 PM (edited) The more we see mediocre lineups and bad decisions (not pinch running Jones for Tauchman), I’m not even sure that it would have mattered if Sizemore got the gig instead. There’s not enough talent to win anyways and Venable is obviously learning on the job, just as Sizemore would have been.
