The pitching for now is what it is. We have maybe a couple decent 4th starters, maybe a couple solid relievers, and that's about it. Can't win much with that. Pretty much this. Look, I know some people need a safe space where mindless drones all repeat the same mantra's, but that is half the beauty of the game in that we all don't need to be the same to enjoy what we do of the sport. The team still has a LOT of work to do, and years to get there, but as long as we aren't backsliding, it is moving forward, which is what you need right now. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sure is a safe space where mindless drones who think alike continue to talk about the same stuff and stick to the mantra. The difference of opinion is half the fin about sports talk. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Mite Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I really don’t know what to expect this year, I think the nucleus of Monty, Teal, Meidroth, Vargas and Quero will only get better but the pitching is a question mark, I hope Murakami is in for a big year but again I don’t know what to expect. We still don’t know where Sosa is going to play. I don’t think they will lose 100 games again, if things really go well I can see 75 wins but if things turn sour it’s more like 65 wins. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd sometimes take them to the Fundamentals kids area and watch the game from the balcony up there. Enjoy, they'll be grown up before you know it. Maybe you had the cheap 500 level seats, and that was the best view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCartney ( upbeat lyrics) and Lennon ( adding the "it cant get much worse" lyrics) are accredited with writing it. There's no mystery as far as the history.

I like the misuse of the apostrophe for pluralizing mantra. That's a pure red flag for me, Makes me very concerned about who's behind the account. Russian bots? Has a very definite "while you post about the White Sox, your wife flirts with Twin fans on TikTok" feel to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most team can be in that category. All it takes is for most team to suffer injuries like needing TJ surgery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Sox injury history since around 2016 has been well documented. This should be a major concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminor3rd Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Team is watchable for sure. You can dream on the offense. The pitching unfortunately is just not MLB-caliber. Still sorting through guys there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
