If he was a bottom of the rotation SPOT starter at Tenn for 2 years, how/why could/would he ever be a top of rotation SP in MLB?
-
Crochet will never be a successful SP. He couldn't do it consistently at Tenn. Why in the world did the Sox draft him as the #11 pick? His Tenn career was very mediocre at best. ...35 appearances with only 12 starts in 2 seasons...huh? And most of those were under <=5 inning stints. The White Sox scouting dept strikes again!

Quero & Bush...It's you final destination where you'll never get any better. Welcome to the The Twilight Zone boys! -
Nobody that good is that stupid. This org belongs in toon town.

Can someone please remind me why Katz is such a good PC? I've forgotten why I was so high on him a couple of years ago.

7/4 Gamethread (Giolito vs. Bassitt)

Go Bears! Go Hawks! Go Bulls! Suck the Fox! -
I pity all the poor bastards with season tickets. Think of all the beautiful ways to spend that cash. It'll take at least a decade to rebuild from this colossal pile. And that clock doesn't even start until every ownership/management office is emptied & scoured with bleach. Who knows when that'll ever happen. It'll probably take 5 years just to purge the stink.
-
I'll believe that if/when it happens. It would fly in the face of sports family ownership history. I find it hard to believe the JR, of all people, would be that pioneer.
-
Assuming Michael eventually takes over, there's no indication of any tunnel light given his 12 dismal years as Bulls COO. One can easily argue they're a worse franchise now then when he took over because of his awful management decisions.
-
Once they finally fire him, it'll take 10 years to repair the damage this man has done. But they'll just replace him with Chris Getz, the man in charge of player non-development so add another 10 years. The entire franchise has to be torn down and rebuilt starting at the top with the ownership. What are the odds that will EVER happen? The Sox are just now entering a long, long period of irrelevancy.

Reinsdick right at home with this team. Reminds him of his beloved "Dem Bums" Brooklyn Dodgers. But they were never this bad. Sox on an historic modern ball pace. The last team to lose 120 games was '62 Mets. 2003 Tigers lost 119, the AL record. Don't know if that was in their "Championship Window" though!

4/25- White Sox at Blue Jays, 6:07
Rounding_Third replied to flavum's topic in 2023 Season in Review
Oh so good to see yet another SP take 100 pitches to go 5 innings. Katz must train them that way. -
The Scouting and Player Development depts have been historically awful for 10 friggin years! You can't build a team signing FA's and international contracts. In ~10 years they haven't had any draft picks who became studs for WSox. Half that time, they had top 10 picks too. I guess the closest they came was TA. Jury still out on AV. All others were traded away for garbage. What's really depressing is that they're going to be bad for a long, long time.

This team is going to lose 90 plus games...

On the next homestand, concessions will be bringing back an old favorite to the menu from last year; the steaming hot s%*# sandwich....time for everyone to take another big bite. Will be available all summer. -
The White Sox over/under for 2023 wins is 83.5
Rounding_Third replied to Chick Mercedes's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Over/under 25lbs for combined offseason weight gained by: Jimemez Robert Lynn Lynn could be good for 20 all by himself. Loves his beer & pizza! -
Who is buying/renewing tix for 2023?
Rounding_Third replied to caulfield12's topic in Pale Hose Talk
it sounds like someone's not getting their quota bonuses this spring. Actually, I do feel bad for that group, not their fault they work for such a terrible owner and mgmt What's amazing is how far the FO & ownership go in showing how little they care about fans. They just see us as "fresh fish, reelin 'em in". -
Since this team is a dumpster fire....GO BEARS!

Lightning in a Bottle; Sox have amazing year?
Rounding_Third replied to greg775's topic in Pale Hose Talk
The other day (yesterday maybe), Bernstein & Holmes mentioned a video they saw of Robert recently doing some kind of slow boxing/sparring with gloves vs another person wearing hand pads. The bottom line was that, to B & H, Luis looked to have gained weight & not the good kind. I haven't seen it but if true, it wouldn't surprise me. There's so many loafers on this team that just don't give a crap and the org doesn't see a need to hold anyone accountable for not being the best player they possible can. They're too busy living the good life to care about playing serious baseball for the White Sox. Its hard to envision that this team will ever be dedicated to playing winning baseball and won't even surpass last season's mediocrity. Guardians will win div by at least 15 games.....over Twins. That team & org is scary good! -
Lance Lynn to pitch for Team USA in WBC
Rounding_Third replied to maxjusttyped's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Oh goodie, they all start the season on the DL. -
The White Sox plan to convert Crochet to a starter from draft day on was always ludicrous! He had very little history, if any, at TN that proved he can become a long term consistent starter. Drafting him where they did for that plan shows what an idiotic FO/scouting they are and why high White Sox draft picks rarely come to fruition. He could be a great closer someday and possibly a really good setup man sooner. He can be very effective in any bullpen role but a starter is hard to see given his track record.

The White Sox cannot be fixed by next season
Rounding_Third replied to VAfan's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Say what you will about their ownership but you're completely wrong and the facts prove it: 1. Guardians have already proven to be better 2. Youngest team in baseball 3. 3rd best farm system in baseball (as of Aug 23, 2022 per MLB) 4. Their team payroll currently sits $127m lower than Sox; $69 vs $196 All the while finishing ahead of Sox in AL standings from 2013-2018 (& 2019 tie); winning 94 games in 2016, 102 in 2017, & 91 in 2018 yet still accomplished #'s 1-4. Sox have managed 26th best farm while sucking those same years Cleveland's awful ownership? Really? I sure wish ours was on that level of awful!!! This Sox rebuild is a bust! Not sure if Cleveland is a "juggernaut"; their future looks pretty damn good! I do know this pathetic dysfunctional White Sox org is not going to challenge them for quite some time. -
The White Sox cannot be fixed by next season
Rounding_Third replied to VAfan's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Its extremely unlikely that the White Sox can/will beat out the Guardians for the division for at least the next 5 years. The gap between the two orgs is growing larger every day. -
Good bye Sox & Go Bears!
