So anyway… This is both funny and kind of interesting: https://bsky.app/profile/fangraphs.com/post/3lbf7ohlxo52p Wonder if we’ll see any “we trieds” leaked after Crochet is traded.

When the book on the 2024 White Sox is being written, I hope they interview some posters here because evidently they have a lot of inside info on how things went down.

I’m sure this will go over well

I was expecting a regular miss, but yeah, no way they were getting that field goal.

It’s such a bummer to read something like this. The Sox are bad because Jerry Reinsdorf fucking sucks at his job and he deserves every bit of failure that comes with it. The only unlucky ones in this scenario are the fans. They don’t deserve this.

On second thought, I think the Cy Young award will just be honorarily given to Goose Gossage each year. And by Cy Young award I mean Goose Gossage award.

Two things about the bolded: I think you're overlooking how easy it can be to miss the playoffs with Skubal and Tyler Greene and a bunch of replacement level guys. That's not really a recipe for success. Especially if you don't have a historically bad team in your division to help pad your record. Who is the Bobby Witt Jr equivalent for the Sox in this scenario? You know, the perennial MVP candidate and consensus top 5 player in the game type guy who is also still a few years away from entering his prime. Edit: I just realized by Tyler Greene, you probably meant Riley Greene. Point still stands.

Passan: “BREAKING: For 18th consecutive season, the Cy Young award goes to: Nobody.”

The criteria for Hall of Fame pitchers will evolve along with the game. Time passes, things change. Such is life.

Caleb has not been good and the midseason regression is concerning. He definitely deserves some blame here... BUT The offensive line isn't just bad, it's 2024 white sox levels of bad Receivers are not open on many plays The play calling has no rhythm, imagination or identity Caleb is a ROOKIE I would consider those reasons for his lack of success, not excuses. Again, Caleb deserves some blame, but he has not even remotely been set up for success.

It’s situations like these where I always wonder whether the subject is tone deaf or willfully ignorant and which of those is the worse option.

I was curious if someone asked him about Caleb being the starter or if that was unprompted. Sounds like it was the latter and oh boy

Chicago sports 🥳

My man you’re becoming a parody of yourself.

Using the 121 loss season as an excuse to be mad about things that never happened seems a bit disingenuous.
