Pitching evaluation that has been less than exemplary; and this weird insistence on goofy deliveries.And no talent signed on the international front.They’ve used plenty of resources on pitching prospects. The results from Bannister have been very disappointing.

2 hours ago2 hr Teel's game calling needs a lot more scrutiny by the coaching staff, hell just bring back Romo and get rid of Jake Rogers after this tigers series
2 hours ago2 hr one thing I do find at least slightly pleasing is how much criticism Getz is getting and will continue to get after the season ends for building one of the worst pitching staff in years, and also throwing 10s of millions of dollars at bad players who actively made your team worse

The results from Bannister have been very disappointing.but how well have they used those resources? Is Hagen Smith really Bannister's fault? Whose fault was using 3.5 rounds of a 5 round draft for Kelley. (finally released in August). Bad development or bad pick?

2 hours ago2 hr Looks to me like we've seen the last of Luis Castillo this year. I actually thought they might bring him into the game tonight out of the bullpen. Wouldn't it of made sense to bring him in tonight? The bullpen pitchers are tired and look burned out. The only reliever we have left for tomorrow is Taylor. By pitching Castillo tonight he could not have done worse than what the other bullpen pitchers did tonight. Plus it would have given them a day of rest.

1 hour ago1 hr 1 hour ago, fathom said:This is where even a bad Castillo should have been able to give you 6 innings, 4 runs. Instead, he’s just wasting a roster spot.I was telling my kids something this as we drove home from the game and I was ridiculing Getz & Venable. Feels like instead of burning your entire tired bullpen in one game, you could have used your main trade deadline addition to get you five innings. But nope, he’s so bad he wasn’t even an option tonight to protect a depleted bullpen.
1 hour ago1 hr So tomorrow, you basically have Schultz and Castillo as your relievers. I’d imagine no Newcomb, Hudson, Hagen or Hicks. Please rain
1 hour ago1 hr 1 hour ago, chw42 said:This team overachieving and then achieving nothing noteworthy at the end would be so disappointing. Especially because they collapsed so badly in September. The AL is as weak as ever. 82 wins probably gets you a wild card spot. Not even getting that when you entered September with 70+ wins is an absolute disaster. I don't care what the preseason expectations are. When you collapse that badly at the end, it's hard to look at a season fondly.ONLY IF YOUR FANS ARE CONDITIONED TO LOSING

Didn't he also start out in a habitual losing organization? Hopefully he's gotten over his Royal envy. Edited 1 hour ago1 hr by kitekrazy

40 minutes ago40 min The Sox came into Friday’s game ranked last in the majors in September in average (.207) and slugging percentage (.357) and over the last 10 games hit .179 (15-for-84) with runners in scoring position.Sox fans booed Venable as he came out to remove his relievers, showing their frustration over the team’s recent downturn.https://www.chicagotribune.com/2026/09/18/chicago-white-sox-will-venable-bullpen/
