[AND THAT'S A WHITE SOX WINNER!!!]

You are only as good as your next days starting pitcher ... Thank God it's Kopech and Giolito coming next...

IT IS OVER. thank goodness they can get over whatever mental block they had and just play now. 

[GAMETHREAD 4/27/22: KC Royals at ChiSox (Greinke vs Cease) 1:10 pm CDT]

i was in a work meeting...but god damn I love AV! So happy he is gonna get everyday play.

It almost feels like there was some sort of handshake agreement when he took the cheap 1 year deal that if he had a big season they wouldn't QO him.  It honestly seems like the only thing that makes even a sliver of sense.  

and if the sox did Rodon and Boras that solid...he surely isn't returning it.

Carried the club in the first half, and then proceeded to suck and be hurt when it mattered like the rest of his career. Happy for Rodon, but he’ll be hurt in no time. 

still no excuse to not give him the QO tho. 

this is where I am at. Love that he looks great. Really want him to succeed...just don't see it as summer heats up. But HOW did you not offer a QO? That literally should have made JR cream his pants..."we can get a stud for market value or less....for 1 year...and if he says NO...we get a draft pick and don't have to pay him....ohhhhhhhh"

Robert update is meh. Should have just IL'd him. 

[GAMETHREAD 4/26/22: KC Royals at ChiSox (Lynch vs Keuchel) 6:10 pm CDT]

This team is completely lost

Hendriks indeed had back spasms on Sunday. Way to go Tony!

i have back aches carrying the burden of rooting for a TLR led White Sox team. 

[GAMETHREAD 4/26/22: KC Royals at ChiSox (Lynch vs Keuchel) 6:10 pm CDT]

Any update on Robert? I don't see anything yet.

He played a bit more 2B than SS in 2021. (53 games to 40). But hasn't played SS at all this season. Jose Rodriguez and Sosa have been playing it instead in Birmingham. Yolbert has played a few games at 3B though.

thanks. grooming him for 2nd meets the need, so good to hear. hope he can keep the great contact rates up in AAA with more off-speed variety headed his way. 

[Yolbert Promoted to Charlotte]

how much 2nd base is he playing? is he superior to TA7 at SS? just interested in helping him succeed wherever he can at the major league level. Also, sick of Tim with the yips

Guys...I found the solution to all the woes...

I'm not a fan of this poll. Anything can happen when you make the playoffs. Guaranteeing a first round exit seems silly. The goal is to make the playoffs and hope your team gets hot. I'm taking the playoffs option 8 days a week. 

I think the realization on the poll is as currently managed...this team ISN'T winning a series. Sure seems fair seeing results. 

[Would you rather . . .]

My only concern...if they don't make the playoffs this season...that JR kills payroll and the window is officially closed. IF they get the excitement of a big second half run, revenue surely will be great and give more flexibility for 2023 and beyond.   That being said, i hate TLR. 

[TLR 2022 Thread]

Checking in to see if Tony got fired yet...

[Sox @ Twins]

I think its safe to say this was the worst week in white sox regular season history

[Sox @ Twins]

Okay im done defending bummer now. Freaking bum

[Sox @ Twins]

Mandick showing up. Been a while

[Eloy Out 6-8 Weeks]

6-8 seems really optimistic. Also ...as i said earlier he is the one guy sox can afford to be hurt.. Vaughn has to play everyday, and this will accomplish that

If Sox wanted to demonstrate a commitment to this season and fanbase, it wouldn't be the worst thing to reengage with Boras about Comforto. 

They just had an update on Conforto...he is most likely out for the year and cant currently throw. Injury was much more serious than Boras shared...hence why sox never engaged on him

[4/23 GT: Sox @ MIN (3:05 CST)]

06 Cardinals had two 8 game losing streaks and won the World Series. I worry Tony thinks he wants to challenge that

[Eloy Out 6-8 Weeks]

3 months for Vaughn to create absolute havoc out there. Eloy better come to terms with the fact that he is a DH from now on.

[4/23 GT: Sox @ MIN (3:05 CST)]

Vaughn honestly will play everyday now and once pollock gets his swing going...eloy being down for a bit isnt the worst thing. But holy hell can the players expected to perform start doing something...

[4/23 GT: Sox @ MIN (3:05 CST)]

What sucks most about all these outfield injuries is that Conforto is out for the season most likely also ...so the only option for reinforcements either arent ready (cespedes/colas) or getting raked in a trade. Got i hate our training staff more than TLR at this point.
