Ever. There's no way in hell this group doesn't lose 100+ games. Have now lost 14 of their last 17. 🤡 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Win probability went down 39.1% with Colson foul out DP. Two critical runners wiped out at home in this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 We have like maybe 4 guys in the entire 26 man roster pitching wise that might be worth anything long term. I know you don't sign bullpen arms in rebuild years but goodness man, we got a long way to go. Most teams that hit on guys like Crochet aren't trading them until their walk year (if even) for reasons. Our org however is constantly needing to get anything they can for them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 I can't believe another season is almost over. And Jerry didn't take a hit in his wallet at all. Our fans are so good that attendance wasn't half bad again this season. I would say next year we currently project to be a .450 team. So that's another wasted season. Ugh.

Ducksnort Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 (edited) Was at the game yesterday. Was nice to see offense. Could have easily won the game if they didn't give outs away on both defense and the basepaths, even with the bullpen shitting the bed expectedly. I will say, even with the loss, it was a very fun night. The crowd was full and energetic. Lots of elvis's around. Parachutes. Live Elvis performance before the fireworks show. While the Sox fail year after year to put a good product on the field, and let me be clear I would much rather most of my fun be had with the actual players on the field playing well and winning than with the extra promotional events, but the Sox really do a good job with their entertainment at the ballpark. And the food options are so damn good. Edited August 23 by Ducksnort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSox2023 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 (edited) 12 hours ago, fathom said: Pitching is in awful shape going forward due to uncertainty They have two guys locked into next year’s rotation — Smith and Martin, and Martin should probably be one of the next players to be traded. Cannon and Burke will likely be in the rotation as well even though they are still question marks. It’s definitely a mess without much development.

Lip Man 1 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Story today quotes the manager as saying there may have been a "communication problem" between the 3rd base coach and Vargas on the foul pop DP. Vargas to his credit took complete responsibility. Just another day at the office for this dysfunctional team/organization that can't get out of their own way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The food, parking and low ticket prices are all great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
