Everyone must be Schriffening. No?

We are tracking Gavin Sheets in a thread for some reason. Although he is interesting and different than our guy in that he has his glove on the correct arm for first base.

All true sentences!

It would actually be difficult to be as bad as they were last season. You would have to try pretty hard to be to accomplish that feat. Not sure where the hype train is going

If you’re out on that limb, that’s fine, I would not tell you any differently in a significant way. But before you count your money sitting at the table, it’s March pitching, against the Twins and Angels. And it’s a pretty decent bet guys like Robert aren’t going to finish the year as Sox. And the talent just is what it is.

Schriffen approved this message. Another BTW…”hater” implies unearned negative attention. That is not the case for our Sox, and our Sox fans. Earned negative attention is not, “hate”.

By the way, I wasn’t posting to derail the topic so much, or to say there was necessarily anything wrong with Sasaki. It was about selfish concerns that we could have been dealing with this as Sox fans. On top of our normal burden of being a Sox fan.

The more embarrassing, the more welcome it is. Sell the team

Well, at least it’s not this

It certainly does?

If anything Robert is ticketed to a destination to be named later

Youth movements are always more interesting to a lot of people such as myself, given the alternative option of chasing .500 with some meh or shot veterans. This last rebuild that flamed out sort of goosed fan interest for awhile for sure. But that kind of thing is not going to work again unless the Sox begin bringing up their own talent that they scouted and signed. Canario, well I agree. I would have more fun having a beer in the stands watching guys like that more than the Benintendi of the world.

Whether or not the names can be called future “talent”, well that’s a real question to be debated. Some publications appeared slightly optimistic. But, yeah. Lots of work to be done.

I would be surprised if the Sox became buyers in any significant way this season. This year is going to be about alignment of the young players in seasons to come. They’re not interested in picking outside the top 3 for the 2026 draft imo. And they likely can’t do anything about it even if they wanted to.

His defense was his best attribute. The RBI didn’t really qualify that much as far as retribution. He put the ball in play.

Kopech yes. Sorry for the confusion.

Diamond Dry would not be a great porn name

Infielder version of Blake Rutherford, Joe Bouchard, Courtney Hawkins, Jarred Mitchell etc White Sox hall of hope and disappointment. But, they could put him out there in left as the Benni heir apparent.

Hmm, last laughs. Kopech. Maybe. Moncada, probably not. I don’t remember if there was a “probably not” response on the Magic 8 ball, but that’s what we are seeing here. Nice RBI though.

In a month and a half, this rah rah stuff will give way to tanking talk.

I’m taking the SO as way more indicative, or representative of how the story likely continues for Moncada than an RBI off the pitcher.

That’s an annual T-shirt. I would buy.
