9/4- White Sox at Royals, 6:10
South Side Hit Men replied to flavum's topic in 2021 Season in Review
Michael Reinsdorf did a great job in a short window cleaning up a huge multi-decade mess. When Jerry and Rocky step down, both organizations can also benefit from a fresh new perspective and clean slate. Bears fans are permanently cursed unless estate taxes force the family to sell. Don't recall a single post of yours which wasn't a lame troll attempt or a racist dog whistle. Ignored. -
AND THAT’S A WHITE SOX WINNER!!!
South Side Hit Men replied to maloney.adam's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Because Kopech sucked, and the Official Scorer has the leeway to award the more effective pitcher with a victory if they so choose. https://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/Win Is this an actual change? When was it implemented? Thought this was always the case, just inconsistently applied over the years. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/mlb-roundtable-will-any-team-make-a-surprise-september-run-to-the-playoffs/ -
AND THAT’S A WHITE SOX WINNER!!!
South Side Hit Men replied to maloney.adam's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Nice they won, but really concerned Kopech is toast heading into the playoffs, with the added detriment that he’s going into 2022 with a 60 inning baseline. -
9/4- White Sox at Royals, 6:10
South Side Hit Men replied to flavum's topic in 2021 Season in Review
Oh, no doubt, though his “quitting” here was brought on by Kenny’s equal level of immaturity and hubris, undermining Ozzie by extending Cooper without Ozzie’s approval or knowledge until he learned about it with two games to go, going against his own agreement with Ozzie to evaluate Ozzie and Ozzie’s staff after the season. Should have been the better man and rode it out with gritted teeth, but Ozzie is going to Ozzie, it’s the typical disfunction that has become the hallmark of a Reinsdorf organization, that carries on through the Tony hire and beyond. The Castro comments, in Miami of all places, was beyond stupid. He also wasn’t a very good manager, with his teams consistently being outperformed as the season went on. He did have a magic season, where everything came together, and for that I am grateful. Definitely don’t want him back. Don’t want the current one either. There were/are dozens of far better options in 2021 and beyond. -

Not the biggest Ozzie fan, but always grateful for his efforts in 2005, winning here, team played smart, built on pitching and solid fundamentals, not steroids. He did a masterful job that season, by far the best of any White Sox manager in our lifetimes (assuming nobody here is over 100). Ozzie has a lot to be proud of, has paid dearly for any "sins" by being blackballed from the game. -

Does Dallas Keuchel even make the Playoff Roster?
South Side Hit Men replied to DanofDuPage's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Can't use Happ as a valid example. Happ had about $2.6M left on his deal when the Cardinals took him as a 5th starter. Keuchel has $19.5M on his deal for 2022, $38.0M if he reaches 160 (plus any additional innings short of 160 he reaches this year). -
Jake Lamb seems right out of place.....

I see Hamilton and Romy getting a chance to start tonight against Lynch. Tony pulled Grandal yesterday, so perhaps he will attempt to start at catcher tonight vs. saving him for the Sunday day game. Hopefully Reynaldo can keep the good times rolling, and force Keuchel out later this month once Lynn and Lucas can return. Sox need to win the next two to win the season series, otherwise Matheny will own the season series over his mentor La Russa. -

He won player of the day by DJ. May be a first and last. Still good to have a positive tonight. The good bullpen guys are rested to hopefully help take the next two. -

Was the first excitement since the third. Looking forward to his first start, hopefully tomorrow. Time to see what he has in the field and with a few at bats in a game. -

South Side Hit Men replied to southsider2k5's topic in 2021 Season in Review
I've been consistent all along, called the contract an albatross since I signed up here. He had several good starts against poor teams, its not a "year", it's less than a two month stretch, and then he turned into a pumpkin when they needed him in the playoffs, his last chance at a meaningful game in his career. If he had a solid legitimate full season, than it would be "revisionist". -

No, hard pass for all other GMs in 2020, they passed in 2019 as well until July. Older players are typically poor signings for 3-4 year deals. -

60 game schedule against Central division only teams. And he sucked ass when it counted in OIakland. It was a bad signing from Go. -

He'll gear up and do better next season, will actually try to get ready in Spring Training. Sox never stretched out Kopech or Crochet, down to three starters unless they sign Rodon and/or one more, and that assumes the other three can stay relatively healthy once again. Even if you pull him on Day 1, an $18M bullpen guy is a killer, they are likely stuck with a poor 5th starter for the next two seasons and hope their other older players don't collapse (Lynn, Hendriks, Kimbrel if they keep him, Grandal). -
