4 hours ago4 hr If the Sox win two series in a row, but Soxtalk doesn't acknowledge, did they actually win?Nice win yesterday with Benintendi being the unlikely hero. Great pitching from start to finish. Martin continues to look good, Taylor was firing, and Dominguez didn't screw up.

50 minutes ago50 min I'll start doing winner post games if the team gets above .500. Until then I've decided to retire my own contribuations. Sox up to 19th in wRC+ at 98, 23rd in position player fWAR at 2.5. Some positive signs the last two series that maybe we'll push for 75 wins. Need to keep getting some decent SP.

11 minutes ago11 min 4 hours ago, nrockway said:The players genuinely seem like they pull for each other. The whole building a winning culture with a bunch of good guys has merit . But they also have to be baseball smart, gritty, talented, have good plate discipline, and mostly be left handed . That's Getz plan in a nutshell. Power is not overlooked in favor of gritty short Getz like players despite complaints about that. We need to keep in mind that when dumpster diving for the obvious reasons that players who need another chance and AAAA types are going to either be failed top draft picks , or guys who had success in the minors but failed in numerous call ups. This may include many different body types or pitchers who have different arm angles or have no command . Dealing with rejects has never been a plan that was supposed to be. easy or produce stars . You cycle through them quickly and hope a few impress you enough to get a shot to do more. That was born from necessity because the owner is spending like it was 20 years ago. If youre looking for him to spend more you probably need to know more about what kind of money is incoming directly as a result of Murakami being Japanese and getting all of baseball excited because of his bombs. You'd also need to see at least 2 million in attendence if the M &M boys can continue trending upward and produce a lot more winning. That, however , is no guarantee that JR would spend whatever it takes to extend Murakami or that Mune will be receptive to staying with the Sox . Or you can speculate that Justin Ishbia is very persuasive and needs Murakami to star in the new White Sox stadium.
