7 hours ago7 hr Cleveland or TB has to win AL executive of the Year…especially after their deadline moves.Manager of the Year should be Venable Vogt or Cash.

Eating up that salary was also inexcusable.Sad that both the bullpen with Seranthony and the farm system with Boston Smith’s .990 OPS would both be better right now, but we also get Castillo’s $22.75 million salary on the payroll for next season instead of Seranthony’s $10 million salary. About as bad of a trade as a GM could draw up. Edited 7 hours ago7 hr by WhiteSox2023

I'd just prefer the second place team fall out of wildcard contention.If we take the wild card we will play the AL West. Houston owns us so Id root for Rangers to win and play them in the Wild Card round.

But let's just get in and enjoy the ride. Anybody can get lucky in a 3, 5, or 7 game series so I'll be hopeful but this team isn't built for the playoffs. I'm not inclined to game it out too far ahead as if it is going to matter a whole lot who the Sox play. If they are worthy, they'll beat any of those clowns.

6 hours ago6 hr The preview of this game on my phone this afternoon suggested to take the under in this one.....I'm sure glad I don't gamble.

I’m fine with winning by three using two gas cans who won’t see the post-season.Still, it was too close for comfort after giving up the grand slam, and Will left him in , and he also gave up two deep fly balls to end the game. He was throwing meatballs out there.

6 hours ago6 hr Let's look at this in a positive way. Surely this is Castillo's last outing. Glad we are able to definitively decide that in a game even he couldn't blow rather than a closer, more important game a few days from now
6 hours ago6 hr Tons of good signs again:Mune gets hit in the elbow but still goes yard, get him going bodes well.Peters pinch hit tonight; he is getting close to starting again..Noah looked awesome and is going to be quite valuable down the stretchGrich & Chase are smoking hot, Doyle hits an oppo homer and a Nick Punto 20 foot single, he has been hitting better with more playing time.The high leverage relievers got another night off, (Grant did start to warm up but didn't throw many pitches)
6 hours ago6 hr 1 minute ago, fathom said:Might? Easily, and Castillo is probably the worst pitcher in the majors now37 minutes ago, WhiteSox2023 said:Definitely. Seranthony has been pitching better with the Mariners than he did with the Sox.He saw the light of day just before he was traded.

Seems like they are trying to squeeze him into some sort of usable function regardless of how awful he is.
