The offense is just ugly most days. 

The SP's are shaping up. The bullpen not so good.

Think their ERA was 4.5 through may 21st last year.

And with Crochet having no restrictions early in season + Fedde? Oof

That seems about right because the pitching fell apart in the 2nd half

After Crochet started pitching like 4 innings and Fedde was gone? Hmmm

Exactly.

The only one who really stood out in the second half was Burke with his last three starts at the very end.

 

And at least we haven't gone to Jesse Scholtens YET this season.

4.82 ERA after ASG and a 4.57 ERA before it last year. We're at like 4.2 after today's game so baby steps, I guess? Hard to say without league normalized stats. Offense is seemingly down again this spring.

14 in a row was this same time last year, 15-34 to 15-48

Then they had another 21 game losing streak later in the season before Grady came on board.

i say this as a certified old: don't crash out over the white sox.

Meidroth good. Robert bad.

Too bad the shift got Meidroth on that last at bat of the game. He roped it up the middle.

I miss that sort of local coverage of the Sox. Times have changed and soon even old hats like Sullivan will be offered retirement and fresh out of mediocre comms programs 25 years olds using the 6th grade writing level of AI prompts will be all we have.

So uh.....do we mention anywhere, that the SoxTalk cast off Gavin Sheets, now has more HRs than anyone on this AAA roster? And he is also at an 822 OPS?

 

Brother....

Great article by Sullivan. First of all there weren't even 1,000 people in the park, much less 10,000. The fact teams lie about fans actually in the stands is annoying. Lip can you get us accurate attendance figures for yesterday's game?

Great take by Sullivan when he wrote: "For a second straight year, the season is essentially over before Memorial Day, and only die-hards and folks with free tickets are still around to watch how it plays out."

No excuse to not play all the young guys. Bring a few more of the prospects up and play Meidroth, Elko, Quero and any other prospect six of every seven games. To the handful of fans still embracing the tank/rebuild, I'm waiting for arguments we should stop playing Quero since these games mean nothing and we need to save his legs for the seasons the games matter again. I would think that's something the tank lovers would say. Every game he plays, those knees get some wear and tear for a .300 team.  I still think this unit is better than last year's wretched team, but we are 18 games out of first with every other team in our division over .500. 

We've said it til we are blue in the face but, thanks Jerry for nothing. Your team has a .300 win percentage and the fourth place team in the division is 13 games ahead of Chicago in the loss column. 10,000 fans there yesterday? Yeah right. How bout 850. Tell the truth, Sox.

Bad thing is, this losing doesn't bother JR one bit. The team was the worse team in MLB history in 2024 and JR did nothing this past off season to make the team better for this season. It doesn't say too much about his character. He simply wants the team to have a low payroll.  Low payroll= big profits.  I realize that Getz is doing what he is told to do by JR but that doesn't say much for his character either. If Getz had any character at all he would resign and have some other hand picked  stooge take the job.
