caulfield12 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 https://soxmachine.com/2025/04/white-sox-minor-keys-april-18-2025 Does anyone have the energy left to care anymore? How tone deaf can one malaise-bound organization possibly be? Are they deliberately attempting to alienate fans like Fisher did with the A's in order to justify a relocation due to "lackluster fan support"? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say 'unbelievable' but sadly with this organisation it is all too believable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Wasting this much time and resource on Clevinger is absolute insanity to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The immediate impact would be felt on Owen White or Chris Rodriguez at Charlotte...unless they're planning to bring Justin Dunn up soon. Nastrini and Iriarte have both been pretty darned bad out of the gate. Edited April 19 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is getting more and more like the film Major League, maybe if they got a cardboard cut out of Getz in the locker room it would inspire them!

Texsox Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I'm seriously trying to figure out why? The upside isn't that great. I laughed at first that he was blackmailing someone in the organization but that's looking actually possible. Just when I thought @Balta1701would be back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 (edited) Let him rot in AAA’s rotation (at most) after the promotion of someone else. Honestly, chances are he gets injured again himself. Edited April 19 by Bob Sacamano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 The Knights almost lost their ninth in a row last night, but pulled it out in the end. So Clevinger will fit in perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Perez now having the dreaded forearm tightness and all the TJ surgeries already, I'm guessing with a long season to go that the starting pitching depth is kaput. They just want inning from him that have to be covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s exactly what’s happening in regards to deliberately alienating what’s left of the fan base. I truly believe we are seeing the last days of the franchise in Chicago.

kitekrazy Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I guess they were hoping to get the same guy when Cease had that great year. He was good but got hurt. He's been injured to much at his age to make a comeback. Career starters don't make good pen guys either. Sox always gambling that .0001% will happen.

This is an absolutely pathetic organization. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Feels like you kind of have to. He cleared waivers; no longer in the 40 man. You're paying him the $1.5M anyway. Not exactly flush with starters after all the injuries. Someone's gotta start games if more injuries happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly flush with starters after all the injuries. Someone's gotta start games if more injuries happen. Narrator: you do not in fact "have to". He's replacement level at best. His 5.75 ERA isn't going to be the difference between setting our own record or winning 50 games this season. f*** this stupid ass franchise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
