I’ll take that as a ban bet by the end of the season. We can even put it into our signatures to hold us to it. Interested?

What do you consider a “moderately productive season”? You think Nicky Lopez is good so your expectations obviously aren’t very high. You said it, so you can define it. What to you is a “moderately productive season” for Sheets?

Neither Andrew Vaughn nor Gavin Sheets will sniff some of the seasons Valentín had.

The Sox have stuck with Sheets for the past two seasons as a part-time starter playing out of position to the tune of a sub-.700 OPS, even though he is a 1B by trade yet hits like a middle infielder. The Sox are going to ride his current hot streak until it ends and then ride him for another 250 at bats into the deep freeze of his upcoming and inevitable cold streak.

Nope, didn’t know that. Thanks for informing me.

Yet he didn’t argue that Wilson shouldn’t have pitched at all tonight. But I’m sure if Wilson started a second inning tonight after throwing those exhausting 7 pitches, his arm would have immediately detached from his body and flown into the stands.

My post was obvious sarcasm. Go back and read the posts. See who called whose take meatballish first. It greatly offended me.

I’m not.

Stop it with your meatball takes, meatball!

2007 Josh Fields = 2017/2018 Matt Davidson = 2018 Daniel Palka = 2024 Gavin Sheets He will disappear from baseball quickly like his predecessors.

He isn’t a free agent until 2028, but he’s already 29 years old. I could see the Sox selling high on him at the deadline if he is having a really good first half. He is dirt cheap too so he could have a lot of trade value if he’s pitching well.

And Wilson’s stuff is way better than junkballer Shaw. Throwing Shaw out there with a runner on 2B already with no outs is madness.

At least he’s not playing RF. But I do agree that the hot streak will eventually end and his end of the season numbers will be bad. However, people will look back and remember this hot streak fondly.

Bob Nightengale just called up his buddy Getzy to let him know that Tommy Pham is still available to save the Sox season.

Once Grifol is fired, will he go the way of other Sox managers and front office personnel to not get another job in baseball?

And his manager making every bad decision possible.

Hang an L on Grifol. Dude pulled Wilson after 7 pitches to have Shaw close it out. What a clown of a manager.

Grifol sat down one of the few good relievers he has in Wilson after only 7 pitches in the previous inning to throw Shaw’s decaying corpse out there.

Wilson threw 7 pitches. WTF?

Maldonado swinging a wiffle bat.

The $75 million dollar man strikes out with a runner on third base and 1 out.

Only the Sox… Yes, only the White Sox.

Grossman and DeJong… awful and stupid veterans.

So the one time a bunt may actually make some sense with the batter that is up, Grifol doesn’t call for it?

Sure seems like the Sox have been trying to disprove that theory with their history of managerial signings.
