  1. Well someone thinks that we can raid the dollar store and find gold here in the sox org.
  2. Remember when Ricky thought it would be a good idea to bunt. Its like watching some daddy coach in travel ball get super cute.
  3. We treat defense like an after thought here.
  4. Well considering you specialize in inverse logic I would say we should get him.
  5. This isn't remotely correct. Radar guns have been used by scouts for a long time. They aim them at the pitcher usually from behind the plate. It picks up the highest number just like it did back 25 years ago. The gun at the ballpark might have a different orientation but the scouts still use a handheld gun like they have done forever. Its not like the scouts are reporting x player at the game is throwing 98 when the gun says different.
  6. Wat? Well fuck I missed out. I was throwing 88-91mph back in the early 90s. On todays standards I was probably throwing 95.
  7. You know this how? Did Daddy tell you about to good old days of no strikeouts and slappy hitters. I am sure it has a lot to do with the fact that they werent seeing Nolan Ryan's velocity more than once a month and seeing guys throwing 98 to 100 from the 6th inning on.

  9. You want to trade a 25 year old starting pitcher making minimum who is pitching like Gio is? This makes zero sense to me. Controlled young talent that is performing at a high level at the major league level is what rebuilds try to accomplish. Taking cost effective players and flipping them for something else and trying to backfill it is not sustainable.
  10. Loyal fans are fans on the front of the jersey not the back of it. I have seen players that I have liked come and go. I don't however root for the players when they play against the sox. You on the other hand cheer home runs by opposing ex-white sox players when they hit them against the sox.
  11. I am shocked you are posting here. I figured you were signing up for Raystalk to worship Avi. If Abreu finds another team maybe you can worship him there as well.
  12. If we learned our lesson of do not negotiate through the media we might have a shot at getting someone decent. If we see Nightingale leaks and other nonsense in the Winter we might be hosed. If we also use our failed econ 101 of actual dollars versus magical perceived future dollars that we did with Manny we might not be in a good spot to land anyone decent. Reinsdorf-future-bucks are as valuable as lead.
  13. Well his pitching coach approves of that message. He would like him probably 91-92 with control over 97 with stuff. Coop will fuck with him. Coop cant control himself.
  14. He just came up from the minors. I am sure this is not the first time he has seen bad defense behind him.
  15. Thats not how the white sox work. They will drag Ricky off the field over his dead body. He will probably get a renewal.
  16. This might be the dumbest rule in a long time. Lets award a batter for just showing up.
