Madrigal dong

No one cares.

The organization has always had a "bunker mentality" in my opinion as well as a streak of arrogance, "WE know what we are doing. We're smarter than you..." From Kenny and his inane comments over the years (the latest attacking fans who thought the Sox were "cheap" after only coming up 50 million short on Machado) to Cooper blasting fans on the radio now to Stone. Frankly I was surprised he'd do this, I just don't see the need to come across like he did and then to "double down" on it today. Again new ownership / front office is badly needed with this ossified organization, regardless of if the rebuild is successful or not. There is an old saying in the business world, "the customer is ALWAYS right" (even if in reality they aren't but you don't do/say anything to drive them away...)

And Madrigal just went yard in Birmingham

Goins has to play until Timmy gets back

He was 3-5 last night Another overreaction. No one does it better than Soxtalk The Rays were since they sent him to AAA

It's all I care about, along with Cease, Anderson, Eloy, Moncada.

Lol Vaughn has played 17 games and we are already worried about his power. No concern with Vaughn’s hit and power tools. Vaughn is legit also been a long season for him. Bat speed and swing path is top notch.

Yet another whiff on the FA market for Hahn. He dumped Avisail to sign Jon Jay for more guaranteed money. Embarrassing.

No. He loses a bit from the stretch. From the windup he's back to 94-96.

10-Day DL for strained effectiveness

Great for the Padres man. Not sure what they have to do with the discussion at hand.

I agree with you. A gold glove center fielder with speed has value. Steverson coaching him to hit .250 would show me something about our hitting coach.

Sox fans have not been ridiculously patient with the rebuild. The Atros who many people use an example had 3 or 4 100 loss seasons during the rebuild. The Sox have had one. People can be pessimistic but let's not go overboard.

Thanks for the stat. I stand by my statement though. Watch where that ball landed that Avi hit. It's as far as you can hit a ball in that stadium. I think it's obvious by his performance that Avi got the last laugh on Hahn and any haters he had. And Avi was crushed by the trade. Loved being a White Sox. Sad.

Good News.

Anderson could be ready for rehab next week. He worked out today on the field and gets another workout Monday.

Be still my heart.

Snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. Nice win.

They're already pretty familiar with him.

I think he got things going with the low and away slider he hit out.

teams getting mccann out low and away a lot. He wants to get things going again consistently he needs to stop swinging at that shit.

Those are the little things that win games.

That was awesome! Electric speed

He ended up doing that, technically

Holy shit that was great. Finally a hit and run

Matt Murton was another future HOF'er for them

Engel is one of those guys that gets traded to Oakland or St Louis and ends up pinch running in the 9th inning of a playoff game & then comes up to bat 2 innings later and triples home a GW run & forever endears himself to a fan base

When Anderson comes back, Goins should stay over Rondon

I've had enough of Rondon so much so that I'd rather he go to Charlotte upon Anderson's return instead of Goins.

Nice turn, good to see an accurate throw to the 2nd baseman

This bullpen outside of Bummer/Colome is just trash. Marshall just doesn't have good enough stuff.

Big Game James McCann

McKay should be embarrassed he got roughed up by this lineup last night.

How many teams pull one of their best hitters, in a lineup not that deep I have to add, for pinch runners in the 7th?

Frustrating, but what does anyone expect with this shit lineup?

Good to see Yolmer back to sucking ass

It’s not that bad...especially if it’s served with the right mix of spices. Better than goat, a little worse than lamb or veal because it’s usually not as tender.

They literally said the other day he would be re-evaluated after the tampa series.

Very doubtful but the guy he is replacing in the bullpen is terrible and so are the Sox so there is no better time to take a look.

I don't understand why so many fans hate the idea of him coming up August 1st. He gets to struggle for two months, get better in the offseason and has a chance to help us win in 2020. To be honest, we shouldn't even be worried about 2026 right now when we have 6 years of hopefully quality baseball coming up. Something we haven't seen since the early 1900s. 2026 will still be good if our FO proves to be savvy and our owners continues to spend money. Let's not throw 2020 out the window for 2026 when both can be convention years.

Why? Tatis, Jr., is just 20 and had only 1/2 season of AA and then winter ball. Robert had significantly more international experience before he signed...and played in the Cuban League. He’s also now striking out 30.6% of the time, after being close to 25-27% for most of the year. All that considered...Robert definitely has a weakness with breaking stuff down and off the plate, especially behind in the count. Learning how to foul off those pitches or drive them up the middle or into RF will be the differentiator...between a very good hitter to great/superstar level.

Jerry is 83 years old and his story of boyhood love of baseball has been retold often. After owning a major league club for 40 years I refuse to believe he doesn't care about winning. He knows that his era can end any day and the tomorrows are limited. I think he will go for it this off season. My gripe with JR is his extreme loyalty to those he perceives as loyal gets in the way of good people decisions.

The streak of arrogance runs deep. The strong feeling of self-entitlement runs just as deep. The team asks for patience and wants the fans to have faith in the rebuild. It is hard to have faith when someone from the organization shoots off his arrogant and stupid mouth like this. For me there is one simple solution: the mute button.

John McDonough, for example, would never say or even think some of the dumb things the likes of KW, Cooper and Stone have uttered. They better hope Luis Robert turns out to be the best thing since sliced bread or Mike Trout. You just get the feeling those core prospects are going to have to carry the water and outperform...because expecting ownership and the front office to outperform other organizations is highly unlikely. If they do go out and sign Cole, then I’ll actually believe they are capable of real change.

Don't jump on Stoney. It's just twitter. No big deal. I'm not offended. I'm one of the rare fans totally against the rebuild and tanking. I feel tanking is un-American. In organized sports you try to win, always. This tank crap is another example of the bizarre world we have now. (I'd add my opinion of the political landscape here but that's a no no). But I'm not offended by Stoney and I'm anti-tank to begin with. I feel excited I get to see Eloy and Moncada and Robert play ball. WOW. However I must admit all the injuries have me wondering. Also I'm mad because (if Eloy was healthy) I think we have a core of 5 or so very good players who should be able to win this horsecrap division if our front office would make smart free agent acquisitions, not stiffs. At any rate, if Cease and Kopech are healthy, and the front office does its job, we should win next year. (Yes Robert and Madrigal should be withi the team and Burger if he's healthy). I don't really care what Stoney's take is. I love Stoney and that's that.

Look. Here's what it is atleast with me. My patience is pretty low because this is the same group of guys that haven't been able to build a winning club the entire time they've been here. Kenny sure but that was a while ago. If those guys had been fired and a new group had been brought in with a good track record there would be much much more patience on my end. But right now especially after the Manny debacle they can kick rocks. I'm going to be critical of them until I start seeing results.

Ok, I don’t get it. Can someone tell me what the hell is going on? The same stuff written over and over again. How are people confused about what is going on. Very frustrating really

This is so perplexing. You spent a lot of last season telling everyone that Giolito was interesting and may become something good, and props to you for that. Now he's having an all-star season, and as one of his "biggest fans" (which you kind of aren't, if this is your opinion on him), he's now "nothing more than a 3-4"? That's ridiculous, he isn't the 1.5 ERA guy he was in May but he also isn't suddenly a #4 pitcher. Long-term I think he's a very good #2 or low-end #1 but two bad starts (and really just two bad innings, if we're being honest) doesn't take a guy from future ace to #4.
