Haha, Nicky Lopez with a shallow pop fly. Just release this turd already. No team even wanted him as a backup infielder at the trade deadline because he’s so bad.

Beat me to it, lol.

Going for star caliber guys was never an option with JR (see Harper and Machado) so I don’t think it can be ruled out as not being the correct strategy. We have simply never seen it done. Signing the over-the-hill gang has been the Sox strategy for years, and next offseason will be no different.

Shuster walks Soto with a garbage high and inside pitch. No HR #4.

“Let’s go, Soto!” chants at the park.

NO SHUTOUT!!!

The Guardians currently have the best record in baseball. They started the season with a payroll $50 million less than the White Sox payroll.

Thanks! 101.52 average exit velocity. I was close. ?

I hope he hits a fourth and embarrasses these mofos.

Average exit velocity that inning must’ve been 105. ?

Looks like aqua blue to me, and yes, it is hideous.

Burger’s OPS is now up to .775 on the season and his career OPS is at .798. Meanwhile, Eder has an ERA over 6 in Charlotte and we pray that Vargas can sniff Burger’s numbers.

The boo birds are out for Luis Robert. Nice swinging strikeout there. He hasn’t seen a low and away pitch he doesn’t like.

What a glove color Cortes has.

Where’s our Juan Soto?

The trade deadline was supposed to spark the rebuild, and it did almost nothing. We added a 3B who is no more of a proven guy than anyone else in the organization.

The best trade asset that the Sox had that actually was moved at the deadline, and Getz grabs yet another bust to go along with the other ones in his lineup. His bat actually got worse after coming here. Surprise surprise.

Is it still considered upside when you think he will provide less offense than you thought he would when he was given $75 million?

I don’t think this team is much better just because of Sizemore over Grifol. The players may not be as depressed as they were playing for Grifol but it’s still a talent issue. Just look at how putrid the lineup and pitching staff are. Sizemore can’t work miracles.

Keenan Allen gained 19 pounds over the offseason? He was and still is listed at 211 pounds for last year by NFL.com.

Brad Keller, also still bad.

Hot take? Once again, Sheets and his .676 OPS has 45 games in the outfield. How much more does Getz have to see of him to realize he’s terrible? Fletcher should have been out there most of the season to see what he can do, if not to also try to disprove that it wasn’t a terrible trade to begin with. Getz blows. Is that hot take too?

Yep, I thought the same after his postgame interview after the almost comeback against the Cubs on Friday. Gotta respect him potentially eating the worst record in history record just for an opportunity to get his foot in the door and manage a big league club.
