Bold thinking a nano was in the budget, more likely a shuffle.

Having the first base coach looking at an ipad when he's supposed to be on the field is an organizational failing. One that I don't think has ever happened in one of the hundreds of thousands of innings I've watched over the course of 30 plus years as a fan. You're right, I should have googled the overlap before ripping them. FFS this is where we are at as fans?

I don't care if the dude won 20 gold gloves. Get your ass out of the fucking dugout on time. Literally never seen that. The Atlanta announcers were saying it was LL s%*#. And they are right.

Eh, I'm sorry, given how horrific our base running has been going on forever I'm going to ask our coaches to focus on stuff that actively makes the team better. The 1st and 3rd base coaches need to be focusing on creating runs through smart baserunning, not looking out our OF positioning, there's a million non field guys for that.

OK hear me out here: WHY THE f*** is the 1st base coach reviewing OUR OF positioning? Please, for the love of god, tell me has looking at Atlanta's, please.

That would require hitting the ball in the air, inform Grifol.

Campfire milkshake, comes with years in the wilderness of MLB fandom!

I agree that Pillar can only blame himself and his agent. They clearly misidentified the market for him as nobody wanted him (other than our Sox of course...) at the MLB min, and certainly not +3 million. That's his and his agent's fault. Chicago's role in it was dumb too, but the fault lies with Pillar's camp.

Sox had leverage and used it instead of doubling the offer. Rare win.

Calm down bud, you're right, but you're being an asshole. You're gonna have to pace yourself here.

Tim Anderson: 34 wRC+. -.2 fWAR. Tied with Benitendi at -.2. Top 20 in baseball for sucking. Impressive.

You at the game tonight:

I bet they do something stupid like delay it for an hour before just cancelling.

They say if the concept of infinity exists then eventually apes will type out Macbeth. I'd assume eventually the White Sox would also win a playoff series.

i get it, but at the same time, maybe he'll give us some good innings and help win a few games.

ZIPS has him at like 1 WAR if he gets 100 innings. That's a decent median case and this signing has more upside than downside given it only cost money. For once, we dove in the correct dumpster.

I guarantee if he's made 20 starts, has a 3.5 ERA and a 2.5K/BB ratio come late July, no clubhouse is going to be "nah, don't bring this guy in". He's going to have value if he plays well. If he doesn't who cares imo. At least they spent 3 million on the possibility. This helps protect the other guys in the rotation that might have a future here as well. Let's everybody slot back one and covers a lot of innings.

Good, we need a value.

Why do you think Boston left?

Why stop there, the leadoff hitter, the owner of the BIGGEST CONTRACT IN WHITE SOX HISTORY is currently rocking a -17 wRc+.

There were def some people saying Eloy was basically just a guess hitter and that turned out correct. You can be a guess hitter but not with his swing. I still would like to see him drop the stupid open stance and crowd the plate and just look to rip everything into the left field bullpen. It's not like he can cover the ouside corner now -- and he's not covering the inside either.

They are robbing us of the 10 run comeback!

maybe we'll get lucky and he'll retire.

I'm at the point where having an asshole on the team is the least of my worries.
