  1. The thank you button is on the lower right hand corner of each post.
  2. I am more DIY when it comes to the health industrial complex, so can't help you there. But it appears you can at least type with your fingers or possibly a Stephen Hawking-ish devise to post here, so you are ahead of the game in terms of health vis a vis certain members of the Chicago White Sox. Do you have a picture of say your favorite color batting gloves we can switch our avatars to to support you during an injury related absence?
  3. I think he could be either IL'd if he is hurt, or also to allow him to work some side sessions until he can possibly perform effectively. No need to DFA him unless they know internally he is a cancer in the clubhouse. With the Moncada incident this week and the 3rd Base coach incident last year, not sure if those are the exceptions or his MO over 2 plus seasons. If he provides two appearances a week, even up or down by 5+ runs, and eats up 4-6 innings until he can possibly return to the rotation, he would still provide value saving more effective guys for more important appearances. Crochet could be the multi-inning guy for close games, the other six are for one inning appearances.
  4. We all owe @DoUEvenShifta debt of gratitude for arguably the White Sox best stretch of the season to date. Thank you for delivering five straight White Sox victories, including two impressive wins in the maggot infested Big Apple.
  5. If the playoffs started today and they rostered Lynn it's clear they don't give a f*** about winning.
  6. Sheets is who I discuss the most, since there is no room in 2023 for a mediocre DH only platoon only DH on a roster. That said, tge no brainer most worthless call among the core you g players is Eloy, and it’s not even close. He has a third of the fWAR as Moncada and Tim, Robert is close to doubling him up and he was called up a year later. He will never be able to field at a professional level, never be able to stay healthy, and will never be counted on to be a “championship caliber player”.
  7. Worthless Overpaid White Sox Roster Spot: 2000: Encarnacion 2021: Eaton 2021 Post Eaton DFA: Keuchel 2022: Keuchel 2022 Post Keuchel DFA: Lynn 2023: Lynn
  8. The contract is a sunk cost. Of he’s healthy, he should play everyday. If hurt, IL him. Burger should DH everyday, can cover 3B for off days or IL. Sheets is a waste of a roster space when Burger, Eloy and Yoan are healthy.
  9. Colas RF Eloy traded for pitching Sheets gone to lose the temptation is the only viable long term solution.
  10. It’s not too hard. Regular lineups.

  11. Funny how the more recent best players in White Sox history are trashed on the way out by the organization, and also a vocal minority of the fan base.

  13. 1. Tanner Banks looks to be the 27th man tomorrow. 2. Jimmy Lambert in Charlotte on injury rehab. He gave up a hit, two walks and three runs in one inning of work tonight. 3. Not sure games will occur tomorrow. 4. Billy Hamilton pinch ran today and of course scored a run. Struck out in his one at bat. https://www.milb.com/gameday/knights-vs-stripers/2023/06/07/723658#game_state=live,game_tab=,game=723658
  14. The air has completely devastated Eloy after 30 hours of exposure.
  15. Surprised they are burning a Seby start with Lynn on the mound. Wonder if anything is wrong with Grandal. Burger is starting, so Soxtalk will save 1TB of bandwidth today, partially offset by the Northeast contingent whining about air quality.
  16. Yes but Joe lived as a monk, swore off sex for his final three seasons in an attempt to maximize on-field performance. Yoan Moncada made a music video, deserves no quarter.
