Also to derail the white sox part of this white sox thread does anyone have a good recommendation? I use my cheap one way too often. something for 2-4 people. I used to have a cheap 8 quart single basket air fryer but I upgraded to a Ninja I got from CostCo with two separate 5 quart baskets. The cool thing about the Ninja is that you can heat each basket separately with different temps and times or do a dual cook for both baskets at the same temps and times. Nice to be able to air fry to different things at the same time. Edited August 17 by WhiteSox2023 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year I could see going winless in KC or anywhere else but not this year. A few years ago the Orioles lost all 18 games they played against the Rays so crazy stuff happens. Venable eventually might be good but I still say it was a mistake to hire a rookie manager. Edited August 17 by The Mighty Mite 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I told everyone to bet the house on the sweep. So sad for baseball. It's unfair to the wild card contenders to have the Royals turn their season around with a sweep of the Sox this late in the season. Now KC storms to a playoff berth again. All cause the Sox gave them hope/momentum again. Sad, sad, sad. Even though the Sox are a bit improved this year I am all for penalizing them for fielding a noncompetitive team for the most part for so many years. Embarrassing sweep. The highlight of this season has unquestionably been a team in yellow uniforms honoring Oz, Paulie, AJP and Mark B in banana ball.

WBWSF Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Vasil was used last night in a game that was a lost cause. They should have saved him for todays game. I would have rather have had him pitch in the 7th inning than Wilson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip Man 1 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 They've lost 11 of 13, scored five runs in the last four games and for the 13th time the Sox took a lead into the 7th inning or later and lost the game. Wilson was responsible now for two and a half of those games. Not that it really would have made much difference but the bullpen is still terrible. Oh Taylor is NOT a relief pitcher, let the kid start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if there is one available 4 years from now. We somehow believe the future is certain, like being competitive again. Other teams do a rebuild of the rebuild rebuild. Some teams are stuck at being bad. Trading today for tomorrow, then tomorrow becomes today. Life would be grand if other GMs overvalued a fan's overvalue of players. We also tend to look at these kids as if they are a finished product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 1 hour ago, WestEddy said: So you're saying that 21 bullpens in the game suck? Bullpen era never tells a complete story. It's about being clutch. If guy from the pen lets an inherited runner score it's not on them. It doesn't always reflect a team in the standings. But it seems there is no shortage of bad ones. It's the most inconsistent part of any team. Yet I think it foolish to invest a lot of money in one. See Rick Hahn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 (edited) 17/35 in saves just sucks Sox are last in saves as a team...and currently seven whole saves behind 29th place. Even the Rookies are 24/44 in sv/svo...on pace for 46-116 if they hold lead today. Edited August 17 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WBWSF Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 I read where the 2025 Brewers have 16 players on the team who weren't on it in 2024. Getz has said he expects to spend some money on players this off season. The White Sox are losing alot of close games. Perhaps adding some players this off season will lead to a better team in 2026.

If you think JR will allow him to spend money on QUALITY difference making free agents I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. With the owners going to lock out the players and try to force a salary cap as soon as 2026 ends, at least part of the 2027 season is going to be at risk. And so will his chances to make money. JR DOES NOT TAKE RISKS. Therefore the only free agents you are going to get will be the usual motley crew of stiffs, has-been's, injury prone guys and retreads just hanging on. You'll get nothing and like it on the way to another 100+ loss season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying stuff like he thought this was a new and improved team that could finish their remaining games close to .500. I laughed at the idea that this team could finish out the last two months of this season around .500. I guess time will tell but all I see is more of the same. Yes, the team is younger but that doesn’t mean they’re any good either. 4-11 since the TDL. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
