July 5Jul 5 If the Sox could get him throw first pitch strike it will help get him on the right track. Baby steps, get ahead in the count.
July 5Jul 5 Every time he comes in and throws a first pitch ball that’s way off, in my head I hear Mike Singletary saying “can’t trust him. Can’t win with him”.

This team is one of the most entertaining in Sox history. He has missed badly on some guys, but all in all, I'm delighted with this year's product.
July 6Jul 6 The issue now is what to do with Dominguez. The Sox cannot afford to let him blow any more games.

He also did a great job with acquiring Vargas, who I was very wrong about. But what I said is still true. He still burns $30 million each offseason on crappy free agents. But that’s pretty much free agency for you unless you are going after the no brainer top talent, or getting luck with fliers like Peters. Edited July 6Jul 6 by WhiteSox2023

Getz screws up by trading Robert Jr. to obtain Acuna believing that he would be a good switch-hitting CF. Of course he doesn't switch hit and has issues gauging flyballs. Getz quickly acknowleges his mistake and pulls a banana out of his @ss to play CF. Peters has been the best CF we have had out there since crash Rowand or Chet the Jet, and he has been a notable clutch hitter. Another example of lateral thinking was putting Antonacci in LF. Some argued he would be a defensive liability. Yes, but overall getting Sam in the line-up along with Chase has worked out. Finally, the Dominguez signing which looks like a big mistake. OK, move Grant Taylor to Closer and perhaps bring up McDougal to bolster the back of the bullpen. Fans including myself have been critical of Getz et. al. but then look up - we are in First Place.
