I would be surprised if Pedro is fired this season. And they'll win some games against Toronto. They're not the Yankees and they'll have to face our 2 good starters.

Just looking at the rosters of the winning teams across the league, it's amazing how many sub .700 hitters each has. It's generally 50%+. Now they have a couple of guys who are raking, but, man, it wouldn't take that much to be competent offensively, on a relative basis.

I wonder what the skipper's reasoning was in wheeling Flexen out there in the 5th to face Soto and Judge, after he had given up a homer to Babe Berti in the 4th. And then after the single to Soto, he still won't make a move. Any of those relievers he used to mop up the rest of the game would have made more sense. It's like he doesn't even watch the game and how it is proceeding.

I felt the same way...until I saw Mendick is back. These guys are all the same.

Yea, I remember; the dimwits declined Rodon and picked up Kimbrel.

Draft this guy.

We have a Stivers who we drafted a couple of years ago and it’s Stievers who’s been injured since forever. Which one is this or is it someone else?

Don’t do it.

There was one pitch where it looked like Maldonado started his swing after the ball was already in the catcher's mitt. Remillard picked off 2nd. FFS. Bring up the young(er) guys please.

The key is to find the guys are going to be good prospects tomorrow. They need to have scouts all over these teams. GMs hear it from the fans when they dispatch their top prospects. They get a lot more leeway if they give up someone unheralded who turns into a top prospect. A lot of Sox fans gave Hahn “who could’ve known” leeway for Tatis e.g. It’s the inverse of college recruiters, who better sign those five stars, regardless of whether they can play. The Sox came up with several good prospects last August, for what was essentially a bunch of riffraff. Hahn finally took August seriously.

Good to see that the prospects acquired in the Bummer and Sleepy Middleton trades have pitched well for the Dash.

I hope it works out. Sure could use a good outfielder. While I haven't been awed by Getz' moves, I want to go easy on him, at least for now, after suffering 10 years of Hahn and his dog-and-pony show.

My hope is for a hitter, who plays a position other than corner infield, without a swing hitch/cocking during the swing.

Good point. But this is the White Sox organization, where bullpen work is often a promotion, not a relegation where a large part of free agent resources has been spent on relievers; where given the choice between an option pickup for a starter in his prime coming off an ace-level season or an aging closer, the Sox chose the aging closer; and the org that put what appears to be an ace-level starter into middle relief for his first 3 seasons.

If that were to happen, he should still receive the Rickey treatment.

I think Fedde's value will accelerate with more quality starts under his belt. Objective evidence that he really made substantive changes and he's not just a flash-in-the-pan will maximize value extracted. Same thing with Crochet, really, although part of it for him is to show he can hold up physically (and it's really annoying that the Hahn & Co squandered > 50% of his control years). Of course it must be balanced against his contract expiration. But I think the offers will be better in July than now.

Trading a young prospect for a AAAA player. Hard to understand.

The other teams are going to want to send their last proctectees from the Rule 5 draft and other marginal types for most of the players the Sox will try to peddle. If that's the best the Sox can do then there's really no point, beyond dispatching the old pitchers. But they did surprisingly well for Grossman, so perhaps they can do better. Not so anxious to dump Feddie: he was someone that the Sox had some insight on (and it appears that they were right) so it would be nice to get some real premium.

If he has some effing innings count, then just pitch him until he reaches it and sits him. Maybe use a 6 man rotation to keep him active for longer. But no bullpen. Yea, he's been injured, but the prior GM was woefully inept in handling him.

Grossman has a .976 OPS against lefties this season.

Lee with a nice frame to end the game. I thought he’d really good job on the plate last year. From what I read, Lee was Dusty Baker’s Colas. Of course, Dusty Baker has the skins to have a doghouse. Pedro on the other hand….

Whoops. I guess I misread or misremembered the box score.

The walks are just pathetic. Why not pitch Keller? He did well the other night. No use moving him to the rotation - he was just mediocre there. Maybe he'd be a good reliever.

We lose because of a walk and because they run the bases competently. Fire this coaching staff, please.

I think Getz' worst move was keeping this moron manger around. A quality manager who knows the game could help Getz in a number of ways.
