It's not possible for us to play the worst team in baseball.

Rodon vs. Keller Game will be broadcast locally on NBC Sports Chicago and is the free game of the day on MLB.TV for out-of-towners. Mods - Apololgies is someone else has the right to start this gamethread, just didn’t want Insp to start it and bring bad luck to the season. Feel free to delete if needed.

He has a career OPS of .661. Only in a fan base where the standards of quality have been as horribly abused as this one is that considered a “serviceable starter”. Who cares about attitude and energy? Give me a few million dollars a year and I’ll force myself to run around and act like an imbecile for other people’s amusement, dumping Gatorade on my head and such, but your team will still be terrible.

Defense wasn’t great and then Rodon got tired maybe Eloy bust?

Go away please

Yea I can tell you definitely missed most of the game.

Fathom has a great baseball mind IMO. Could he be smartest baseball mind on board? It's worth pondering. Fathom is a god IMO.

The overreactions on this forum are hilarious.

This is but one sample. When I went to school in Missouri I had to listen to Royals broadcasts whenever the Sox were in KC and the idiocy was astounding.

Anyone wanna see Eloy crush a homerun in his first at bat and just go nuts...

"Some people move on. But not us. Not us."

Eloy hits a wet baseball with such force that the negative and positive particles of water create a large spark that sends lightning into the sky but thankfully nobody is injured and they rule it a ground rule double.

don't stop get it get it

Nah

He has been worth 4 fWar/ 6 bWar over the last two years. He is a serviceable starter too. Bad baseball take aside, how can anyone hate Yolmer? He is easily the most personable person on the team. I love his attitude and energy.

Chuck doesn't bother me at all; out of all the things to b**** about with the White Sox, he's not on the list at all.

To say "message board posters didn't know either"..... Good gracious, is that the standard of a major league GM? Evaluate talent no worse than a message board poster? Hahn's list of compete mis-evalutations of talent is long, and goes far beyond Shields and Tatis. His severe limitations as GM are a major anchor on this organization.

One might say Renteria is a bad manager. Rodon is completely gassed.

Very loud and very dumb

Time to listen to Ed and DJ for the ride home...I hope Sox Math is on early in the game so I miss it...I want to watch the game not figure out puzzles Benetti!!

Mine works but just is showing weather delay screen (I'm not anywhere near Chicago or KC though)

Mother nature must know how us Sox fans looooooove waiting on fluid situations that we can speculate on!

I hope Eloy hits two bombs today just to shut Insp up for a few hours.

After looking at the radar, this game is literally at the perfect time. There is a 3 or 4 hour window starting around 3:15. This game will be played.

Time to move on fellas.

Madrigal gets moved to 3B, which pushes Yoan to LF, which then pushes Eloy to 1B. But then Collins gets moved to 1B, which pushed Eloy to DH. However, Burger was the plan at DH because we have Madrigal at 3B, so once Eloy gets moved to DH, Burger is traded for Tatis, who will be struggling in SD. Tatis comes over and pushes Anderson to CF. Robert is then expendable, so we trade Robert for Machado because SD is entering a rebuild. But then Machado becomes the third baseman, and Madrigal doesn't have a position. I think we should just avoid drafting Abrams.

The White Sox don't play in a warm weather city or on the road vs. a team with a roof until May 10th. Stupid.

that's not lightning that's the plasma field around a baseball at light speed.

Eloy hits a home run that is struck by a lightning bolt.

Forget my Schwindel prediction. New prediction is Eloy goes 2-2 with 2 homers but the game gets called in the top of the 5th and they end up not counting

$5 a day for a coffee is absolutely nothing, but I don't know why I can't afford my rent this month. Penny-wise, pound-foolish.

Eloy goes 0-4 while Royals 1B Frank Schwindel goes 4-4 with 4 home runs in his MLB debut

Just want the club to start to show some measurable improvement, not just in the win column but among the key rebuild pieces. Oh and for God's sake, PLEASE stop with the fucking injuries! "It's Time" (to trot out an old Sox marketing phrase) for this franchise to become relevant again in their own home market and in MLB in general. Happy Opening Day folks!

I one hundred percent agree. We will end up trading that space for some bum 4A guy like we do every year just watch. Instead we should have been moving guys for INTL Money and being extremely active in IFA. It's a joke that at the bottom of our prospects lists we consistently don't have one exciting young under 20 prospect year after year after year. Take a look at our prospect list on MLB.com. Then take a look at SD. We don't have the kind of depth and high upside talent that is going to create a separate wave after Robert and Cease. That is why the injuries to kopech dunning and the rest of them are so devastating.

Any lineup that doesn't have Adam Engel in it is A-OK in my book.

I hate seeing this dudes name every damn time I log into Soxtalk. Its time to move on.

Any team would have replaced them BEFORE going into a rebuild. Oh well.

Hahn and staff are shitty at what they do

Whatever helps you sleep at night. The Tatis trade will forever go down as one of Hahn's worst. Shields was a complete bum at the time. It is the epitome of the White Sox flawed approach post 2005.

This is a great post.

I think the big concern with Tatis is the same one Yoan had/has. Tatis could break Yoan's k record this year if he plays enough. He has to improve his contact skills but he's certainly young enough to do it... but it's also one of the harder tools to improve on.

@elrockinMT @Chisoxfn I think a sideboard for this by the scoreboard or Future Sox area would really increase the subforum's popularity. Just my opinion

The sky is going to be blue and the weather warm tomorrow in KC. The rain will hold off until later. The game will be played. The game will be the start of a wonderful season as this team is Playoff bound.

14-16

20-10

18-10 with 2 PPD. Eloy coming in will give us a huge boost. Giolito may struggle early doors. I think Nova, Lopez and Rodon will be fine. I think when Santana comes in, he may struggle. I think we may see Cease in May due to those struggles.

12-18 if I am optimistic. If I am realistic 9-21. I hope some of you are right though.

1-29

The Dodgers traded him you moron
