Sox took a beat down.

@hi8is . How long will a left hamate fracture take to heel. Because Jose Ramirez has one.

And yesterday they gave one.

Yamamoto is really good, since the Sox had no chance to win I was hoping he'd get the no-no.

See what they may be able to do on Sunday.

He had one in his right hand before. Think he beat the projections and came back quickly, in a month or so.

But that was years ago when he was still in his 20s, might linger more now like it did with Beni.

Peters bomb breaks up the no hitter.

@tray 's boy saves the day

Talent recognition. Getz, Jerry and Venable supported a virtually unrecognized player from the Savannah Bananas and put him on the Opening Day roster. Peters see's it and often hits it hard. Tristan struck that ball in anger and with purpose..he killt it. That one swing may have turned the momentum around at least a little by preventing LA celebrating a no-no on the field. It would be great to take 2/3, but I am OK with 1/3 and look forward to when Teel and Mune are in the line-up. That will make the line-up that much more formidable, especially against RHers.

The Sox play Cleveland 7 times between now and July 5; a good chance he misses all 7! And no more Josh Naylor either!

He wasn’t an unrecognized player from the Bananas. He was with the Durham Bulls and had a couple MLB at bats last year. He’s obviously exceeded expectations and deserves all the credit in the world, but you’re underselling his pedigree.

I want to be annoyed by this, but it honestly might be the least obnoxious post you’ve had in years.

It may or may not be. But banana ball and a cup of coffee 26 year old isn’t normally characteristic of having a notable pedigree

I’m wrong 95% of the time, but I have serious doubts about pitchers like this that are always having to change their delivery, slot what have you, you name it. Just don’t seem to be able to find a groove that lasts in the show.

Guys like Murphy, Rock, Eisert aren’t MLB caliber relievers. It’s embarrassing to even have these guys on the roster.

Neither was Bryan Hudson, until suddenly, he was. And something tells me that all the AAA relievers people scream about will come up and be embarrassing, too. Until they turn a corner, then they won't be.

Nostradamus?

50% chance that confidence is mis placed...especially with bottom of the barrel/waiver wire/dfa relievers, probably closer to a 15-20% success rate.

Not sure what you're referring to. There's a cock-suredness that rookies who go 0-4 against a perennial Cy Young candidate suck and should be thankful to be breathing the same air as us keyboard Koaches. But then they go silent when the guy they wanted DFAed all winter turns into a top reliever. I don't even know what "eating crow" is. It doesn't seem to stop the subsequent screeds.

If you've watched the last three previous years of Sox baseball...you know the odds of a 2005 bullpen happen no more than once a generation.

That's nothing to do with Panickans and all to do with talent and a little bit of luck.

And why are "Keyboard Koaches" now associated with a certain Pulaski TN-originated organization of notoriety?

Delauter has come down quite a bit from his hot start and Bazzana has come down too but not quite much.

I like your diagnosis, personally.

If I may be an intermediary in the Peters discussion. I have not dove in his pedigree. All ballplayers have some degree of pedigree but so much growth has to happen to become a good major league hitter. Pedigree can work against you because you become less adaptable.

Now a lot of that growth is being attributed to luck and when you read statistics it jumps out at you. What strikes me is that recent Fegan article where Venable defined the Sox hitting philosophy as selective hitting where you have to identify the right pitch to hit and put a healthy well timed swing on it. You refine your swing which then leads to defining how well you can attack those in zone meatballs. He's actually better at doing that than Colson Montgomery but he doesn't have the power to consistently jack it out of the yard.

Peters hard hits all seem to be mostly pulled so he has identified the pitches that he can do damage on. He had a pretty destructive May for a guy perceived as having just a little pop. After May was over and he was sitting at 1.5 fWAR it was equal parts offense and defense.

If you have great defense always with your game it makes it so much easier to find a hitting philosophy that you can work with. In the 1st 2 weeks of June to go along with his studly May he's jumped up another .5 WAR and is now at 2. Pitchers haven't yet figured out his hot zone and the fielders in the outfield are really going to have to start playing him to pull much more . He's going to have to be pitched away a lot more. Then we'll see if he can readjust to that.

Edit: He's now at a whopping 7 Outs Above Average which is good for being in the 98th percentile.

Sorry for Jose, but this injury helps the Sox, and helps even out Mune’s injury.

There is being a Sox fan and rooting for them to be no hit. If they get beat I sure as hell don't want them no hit. Why would you want that ? Just to say you witnessed baseball history ? Did you want the Sox to be historically bad too ? NO you did not. You hated it even when it was a rebuild and you're supposed to lose. I don't see any difference between those things.

At least I could accept the rebuild losses knowing that there was some plan in place. I know that puts me in an isolated position because of the woe that has followed that season where people were so angry that they couldn't even acknowledge there was meaning behind it just like there was meaning in the rebuild that Hahn and KW orchestrated that everyone had unbridled enthusiasm for.

The Sox skipped the 10-15 years of being "mired in medocrity" and went straight to bad enough to tear it all down again. If you look at it like that it's not that long to wait from 2024 to what this is now in 2026.

Getz didn't start the rebuild by actually trying to contend and trading away what little prospects they had before he declared that rebuilding was the only way out like the Hahn/ KW era did. How that time period got so much support I have no idea. Lets screw it up for 10-15 years, trade the good prospects away, screw it up even more then tell JR we need to rebuild . Sure it looked like a successful rebuild until it suddenly collapsed because it had no foundation. JR will still JR and Hahn and KW still didnt know how to truly rebuild the rot because they were the rot.

What's happening now is just a small victory. There's years to go before we will see how it all turns out but I like the idea of trying to emulate the Brewers and Rays without money while JR is still around so when the Ishbia money is there maybe there will be an actual team and front office with a knowledge of how to run a modern baseball franchise.

This is psychotic. I guess I understand why you root for White Sox players to get injured.

Not psychotic.

And it wasn’t rooting for a Cub Twin Guardian Tiger.

Human nature to want to see history made when the game’s already well out of hand.

Respecting greatness on other teams isn’t some innate form of weakness or poor fandom.

If anything, it makes it even more possible for Sox management to look at trading for Sugano or signing Itoh next year.
