That’s one juicy 2-0 meatball from Leasure…

Which is worse, his bullpen or his defense?

Do we get a prize for first team to 50 losses?

Crapech?

Kopech is the roller coaster ride that always delivers. What team would give up anything for this train wreck of a pitcher? Failed starter and now failed high leverage reliever.

I think he was referring to Robert’s low number of RBIs despite his 5 homeruns because no one gets on base in front of him. All the more reason to start Lopez second in the order.

Yep. When he’s not clowning his partner, he’s taking vacations during west coast trips. Amazing how the Sox let The Legend do whatever he wants but were all over Benetti’s nuts.

You always want to bat your absolute worst hitter right in front of your best hitter. Grifol can get fucked.

Merkin is such a troll with these articles… “White Sox show confidence in Maldonado despite tough stretch at plate“ It’s not a stretch, it’s his norm.

I was referring to the last sentence. How players bomb for the Sox and go elsewhere and remember how to hit again.

This sure seems to happen quite often… “It’s not good over there. You can tell by how often there’s turnover that it usually means something’s going on. Players leaving the organization and automatically doing better (with their new team).”

Hoffman actually had a 95 mph fastball before injuries. https://baseballhall.org/hall-of-famers/hoffman-trevor#:~:text=During the 1994 players' strike,reduction for a power closer.

It wasn’t really a bad break considering the Sox made the playoffs due to the COVID-shortened season. They don’t make the playoffs in 2020 if it was a full 162 game season. Their rotation was decimated after those 60 regular season games.

“He’s not swinging it.” No Pedro, Maldonado has never swung it.

Getz chose to take back Dominic Fletcher over Jake McCarthy from the D-backs in the Christian Mena trade. Now the Phillies are interested in McCarthy, because he has had a good season so far… https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2024/06/09/mlb-players-starting-to-fear-for-their-safety-from-gamblers/74028741007/

The stranger thing is that Reinsdorf has done several dastardly things as the owner of the Sox and has essentially blamed the fans for his failures, yet @poppysox is still a Sox fan. How does that make sense?

Exactly. Meet the new GM, same as the previous GM, and the previous one before him. JR is still the puppet master.

I can’t imagine them not canceling it after this shitshow of a season. Maybe a new strand of Covid will pop up this winter to save JR and Getz. Otherwise, it isn’t going to be pretty.

Fall guy for the entire season, and JR is ridiculous enough to think it will work with Sox fans. No way will there be a Sox Fest after this season.

I guess we can’t consider him one of our 15 “legitimate” pitching prospects in the minors.

You posted it so own it. And Quin never once responded to one of your posts, but nice try backtracking. You really are an old man.

Too late, your stupid post is now historicized for all eternity for everyone to see since I quoted you. No take-backs! ?

Trust me, I idolize these celebrities that you are referring to, both in the form of actors and musicians, far less than the ridiculous effort you put forth to try to defend and fluff up every crappy Getz player acquisition and supposed prospect that he has developed.

Well, it’s 2024 and it’s known now and it’s the same reason everyone hates guys like Clevinger and Bauer. And we are all discussing this NOW, not back when Hull was playing. But it’s apparently easier to hate on lesser players that did these things than stars at their sport. If we all found out that a player like Frank Thomas or Paul Konerko was a drunk racist spousal abuser this year, that shouldn’t impact how we view them at all? I guarantee you that it would have an impact and the Sox would dissociate themselves from them completely.
