Sox just don’t beat good teams.. That would put them 41 games under .500 It’s amazing how much this team has lost the last two years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might be a starter. I agree with you in the sense that he's probably a good trade chip when paired with other lower tier prospects; better than Banks certainly. A different rebuilding team might trade for him with, you know, 5 other players. 105:82 BB/K ratio is pretty good. Absolutely no power. He's probably Nicky Lopez.

ChiSoxFanMike Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 25 minutes ago, fathom said: Again, not hindsight. Just like the Cease trade, the Booser trade was bad as soon as it was announced. I somewhat understood the Booser trade because he had a lot of team control and was a “fresh” arm despite being older. Thought there was at least a possibility they could flip him for something better. But needless to say it hasn’t worked out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WBWSF Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Vargas has said a number of times he wants to play 3rd base full time. If he would have played 3rd base tonight he would not have gotten hurt. I hope he's not out of action for any amount of time. I remember in 1973 Dick Allen got hurt on the same type of play and was out the rest of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Look at Ray Ray Run Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 28 minutes ago, fathom said: That would put them 41 games under .500 It’s amazing how much this team has lost the last two years. That would put them on a 38.5% win rate since the vaunted May 1st which is a 100 loss pace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him playing won't prevent this team from losing 100 games again. Since 2018 this organization can't seem to go a week without someone getting hurt, it is what it is. Three errors tonight, Sosa with another one and they still had a chance until this wretched bullpen came into play in the last two innings. Only a month to go before this abomination ends.

Milkman delivers Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Thought about going to tonight’s game. They want 30 bucks for 500 level seats. Get fucked.

Most of our recent losses are because of the bullpen imploding. I’m not sure what they can do with Sosa, no matter what position he plays he’s a butcher. Injuries are mounting up, Vargas with a wrist injury, Monty might actually be having oblique issues, Tauchman has been been hurt just about from the beginning of the season and of course it’s the same old story with Robert. I also have a hunch Quero might be banged up as Teel is doing most of the catching. Edited August 29 by The Mighty Mite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, but instead of a wrist injury, Allen had his leg broken after a collision with Mike Epstein on a wide throw from Bill Melton. Allen was on his way to another great season and the Sox were in the race but folded after Allen was done for the season. That’s the year when 55,555 showed up at old Comiskey for a Sunday DH in May, largest home crowd in the history of the franchise.

After the last couple of days, the Sox are 19th in MLB in pen ERA at 4.14. It gets interesting when you look at a xFIP of 4.57, good for 28th, and FIP of 4.22 good for 21st. Lucky seems to be the most accurate word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox just don’t beat good teams.. I saw the 4 game series in New York with Boston and Boston took 3 out of 4. Yankees should be able to at least give one game to White Sox this weekend especially with their poor defense and bullpen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should bring back something decent in return. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sosa probably has the most value to the White Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
