Unless Robert gets seriously injured, they will look like absolute clowns if they don’t pick up the option after passing on ANY trade offer at the deadline.

Sometimes I think Venable is an idiot. I am pretty sure it isn't Venable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSox2023 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 (edited) Meidroth’s OBP is almost matching his SLG. I understand starting him as much as possible but the dude is a backup infielder. Edited August 17 by WhiteSox2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were probably plenty of Jake Eder types. To some that's better than letting a player walk. That satisfices our trade frenzy. It might be some A ball player and we'll rejoice if they get a hit or pitcher with injuries. Yet we hope that .00000005% that person will somehow flourish in the Sox farm system, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WBWSF Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 1) It doesn't take much to see that the organization doesn't think highly of Baldwin. Being pinch hit for in the 5th inning for Taylor is brutal. Wouldn't surprise me if Baldwin was moved in the off season. 2) Why pitch Vasil late in the game when you're losing 6-0. You would think he would be used in a better situation. Why waste him in a game that's a lost cause? He has been the best pitcher in the bullpen this past season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point, you have to cut your losses and take what you can Getz. If they don’t pick up Robert’s option and try to deal him again in the offseason or by the next trade deadline, they are an even worse organization than we already thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only American located White Sox affiliate with a record over .500 is Birmingham. Everything else between A and the Majors is at least 8 games under. Birmingham is 23 over, and DSL is 3 over.

Lip Man 1 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 (edited) 13 straight losses in Kansas City. Defies the law of averages...I wonder if that is a franchise record for most losses to an opponent on the road. Embarrassing. Have lost 10 of the last 12. Well on their way to 100+ losses.

This might sound dumb but have we missed Meidroth greatly? And shouldn't both our catchers be in the lineup every day? Also inexplicably Beni is 6-for-36, killing us. He prolly thought he was gonna get traded and is depressed. We need his bat to win. I'm shocked our pitching staff has been OK this year. It is by far the most "no named" staff in Sox history. None of these guys make you say, 'This kid can pitch." Edited August 17 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Getz called down to the dugout and told Venable to pinch hit for Baldwin with Taylor who isn’t the future. Baldwin had a nice line drive hit and made 2 goods play and he’s replaced, something stinks. Stone was spot on in his remark.

Beni should be depressed because he’s been a bust and no one wants him and his salary. I agree on the 2 catchers but bring Lee up and let Quero and Teel continue to rotate at catcher and DH, by bringing up Lee they don’t have to worry about an injury in a game to whoever is catching and losing the DH. I also agree on Meidroth, he brings lot of intangibles to the game, for one thing he’s pretty damn smart. I can’t believe some want to give up on him after only playing for a little over 3 months in the Majors.
