I had a small glimmer of hope that yoan would actually succeed and we could get something at the deadline. Now more concern that Colson gets pushed.

I mean yes, this to. Dude exacerbated the injury by running in a straight line. Alright anyway I can't help it, meathead mode: football players: get hit by 260 lb men going 20 mph, get ankle ripped off, back in 2 weeks. Basketball players: sharp cuts, sudden acceleration, constant jumping and contact with 200-260lb giants. Baseball players: have to run in a straight line 4 times a day. Body falls apart and die.

i'm struggling to not be a meathead about this.

sloppy steaks

A nice win. Though I'll admit my first thoughts now are "oh my how embarrassing for Cleveland"

I wanted to fire pedro but....I don't know I like him not watching the eclipse.

Knights are the worst. Barons is classic. Cannonballers is a fantastic hat. Dash I could take it or leave it.

If they continue to suck this bad, he'll never manage again by choice or not. But if he shows himself as less of a loose cannon with the media maybe he'll get a job on a team again.

I think Ozzie really really just wants to manage again. That's why he's taken some of the jobs in between. I thought it was a bad idea for a long time, but with what we are staring at...good lord fine just take over.

If our ST site was florida and not AZ it may not be as big of a deal but yoking him around across the country I think is a little tough for an 18 year old.

Despite the best org chart in the world, we should be a bit skeptical that Chris Getz looked at the state of the organization, had Dylan Cease, and said to his scouts "we need to prioritize acquiring pitching prospects first and foremost".

I don't think he should. There just isn't a great place to put players like him their first season. He will be in ACL and he should be in ACL. I'm also think its probably fine to give these guys more backfield/training and less reliance on game experience exclusively to develop them.

Is there a better example for how stupid the anti-tanking attempts are than the 2024 chicago white sox? Sure, you could say they shouldn't have traded Cease and Bummer et al and have an even further, more painful recovery from this. But the White Sox gave a bunch of veterans jobs and are playing them over marginal prospects. It has made...zero fucking difference. There are so many painful parts of living under a Reinsdorf fandom, but it is extremely bad that he is so willing to accept CBA rules that severely hinder his team, and his team the most. He'll side with the smaller owners to limit spending on the bigger teams and undercut labor...and also side with them to restrict the team building opportunities on big market teams that could also undercut labor. Being forced to watch 110+ games but not being allowed to be in the running for Holliday because we could, in theory but not reality, have spent money on good players the last 5 years instead of $100 million in bullpen arms is just so brutal. It did nothing to improve the quality of the league but is going to make it likely we are bad for 30 years.

He’s Both not a very good prospect and a better player to prioritize than this pathetic list of veterans that have not even buoyed Getz sinking ship remotely.

Consistent, embarrassing arguments that we shouldn’t make a big deal about the small, dumb decisions because we should, what, save our energy for the bigger, harder decisions they’ll inevitably f*** up? I have enough energy; yall dont need to worry.

Good lord dude, a guy like Rodriguez should be worth more to the white Sox than cash or a bunch of old ass never wases they kept over him. Everyone else is right and you are wrong. If it was June, I’d get it. It’s 7 games into the season.

This is the worst offense in the history of baseball.

2016 draft was incredible and could have stocked the farm for a decade.

I don't think it was one thing. If it was where it starts, it was the 2016 draft.

ok but they aren't rolling out their 2023 team to play the 2024 schedule. They get year 2 of Stroud + Slowik with better skill players, most of their defensive players back (who were young) and a likely upgrade in Danielle Hunter. Some of the teams you are referencing could easily be worse. Baltimore lost MacDonald and could see their D start to fade, Buffalo is self explanatory, Miami's D could easily be worse and tua is injury prone, Chiefs in regular season may not be that difficult, and Cowboys lost quinn. Houston has continuity with a young roster and got better. Hence why people think they'll get better.

Very much the equivalent of "throw the touchdown play". Texans have done a great job turning it around, made some really good hires. A lot of teams tried to do what they did. The jets fans responses to that were pretty priceless. Almost a complete recreation of what the texans did except their QB was awful.

I love how much this is getting dragged.

Props to Crochet. Has to be gratifying to know you can do this at this level and start off so strong. On the flip side…very frustrating. It’s not really a sliding doors moment, just another thing of like - how many other decisions based on expedience added up to this prolonged suckfest. offensively…we gotta get on base more.

gross.

Hope so. He just seems like he'll survive another 15 years to spite us.
