  1. Moncada coming back. God has a deep rolodex of improbable Sox medical ailments to ring up. Stay tuned, this go’ be good
  2. Let me: Increased signs of life sort of verify the moribund state of these guys earlier. They were, mentally disengaged. Improper attitudes. That only happens to a lower class of player. It almost hurts to see a higher state of play knowing they didn’t care enough to access it earlier.
  3. Im old school and don’t understand much about load management. I just know that this is a kid entering the time his life he will never be physically stronger. We’re protecting professional athletes like fine china these days. Considering the state of the team, Luis might consider being against this and play.
  4. Interesting they still aren’t sure what they have here yet in order to make changes. These are people that need to be hit in the face with a swing shovel so that they realize they are on the ground.. Stepping on rakes for years hasn’t done much.
  5. I think for the most part, people root for the laundry, not the people. The players better produce, otherwise they are of no use. Hey that rhymes.
  6. I mean, we’re back to first base in the outfield at least. That’s what we’re looking for.
  7. Perhaps the approach toward candidates needs a slight tweak.
  8. He claims when other owners spend on big deals for players, he has to follow suit. Except, he never has. they're the dumb ones though, winning in the playoffs, while his teams don't, to a historically bad level of don't
  9. Pearls of baseball business wisdom. Backed by accomplishments. Yes , Jerry milks money from the White Sox. That, he indeed understands
  10. His lack of self awareness and hypocrisy was astonishing.
  11. I wasn’t talking about last season at the deadline. By the way, you don’t have to post replies to people like a next level jerk.
  12. They should have traded him really while they had the chance. That would never happen in Chicago though. Jerry has sacred cows aplenty. Basically every veteran player is a sacred cow. Unless I guess that one time. In band camp.
  13. A mid first round pick that gets to the show and has any MLB career is an exception. That was pretty weak draft IIRC. There weren’t high expectations for Jake Burger. Injuries taking a guy out is a side category to me.
  14. That’s the good news. There is a bullpen manager alchemist out there that can fix this.
  15. You can take Tony off the team, but you can't get the Tony out.
  16. I think there is a lack of peer pressure setting good culture example. Which is of course, the responsibility of the organization to aquire the right people in the clubhouse. We hoped Pedro could artificially make thgings happpen along those lines. But he has to be backed up by a GM ready to make changes. Gas Can Kuechel flamed out, but early on he identified a problem on this team. The organization is static and sentimental.
