This was probably one of the biggest surprise seasons in baseball history. Not just White Sox history, but baseball history. Yes this team has a lot of problems and that got exposed over the course of a 5 game series, but they did a ton right just to get to this point.

I’m not convinced he can’t develop a third pitch or doesn’t have one that plays enough.
10 hours ago10 hr Disappointing but noone thought we'd go that far. Hell of a season. Getz failed the players with his horrible deadline acquisitions. Cleveland ironically killed us with theirs.

That's nice, they won 84 games. I repeat myself, because they've been historically bad for so long. Not everybody wants to celebrate table scraps when it looks very possible theyre going backwards next season.

We have a GM that replaced previous GM’s that continued their strategy that they can still somehow catch magic in a bottle with old fucks — Castillo, Pham.
10 hours ago10 hr What happened to make them throw alot of pitches. The amount of swings outside the strike zone was unbelievable the last 3 games. How many potential walks turned into strikeouts?

We have bonemer, and Carlson, and Roch. We had a 2 million year in attendance and doubled viewership on the sub service. We have salary to spend and a team that actually got some good free agents the last two years from the bargain bin.
10 hours ago10 hr Teel in the 2-spot kind of always boggles my mind. I know he had a hit today but still

10 hours ago10 hr 6 minutes ago, Sockeye said:That’s the problem. It would have been ballsy, but Venable doesn’t have the balls to do it.Venable managing also left a lot to be desired. The roster constructions, the obsession with splits, his managing of the pitchers, sticking out with ineffective players, not adjusting to in game situations, aversion for small ball when needed etc. Were lacking. IMO.

I hope that's ok?

Just wish they didn’t lose to CLEVELAND. That’s what’s really bumming me out right now. If it was Tampa or the Yankees it wouldn’t be nearly so annoying.
10 hours ago10 hr This team has very clear needs. They need to add more starters (and a closer), and they need to add more contact/improve in RISP.I would love to see Vargas and Burke extended TODAY
10 hours ago10 hr Kudos to the press, someone asked Will if he would have pinch hit Grichuk for Mune in the bases loaded spot. Will said zero chance

Colson, Braden and Mune need a new approach. Nice bullpen, and they have about 10 starters to work with behind Burke.Sucks they lost like this. It could be a great building block.You are correct sir, excellent point about the core and potential starters.

It could be a great building block.I think this is exactly where I'm at with it as well. The Montgomery boys and Mune HAVE to work on some stuff concerning plate approach and situational hitting. Bullpen pieces, some are really good. Starting pitching....LOTS of work to do there from internally and/or externally.And for the love of all that is holy, coerce Benintendi to enjoy retirement or something, somehow.
