This will be a VERY White Sox way to end the 1st half.

Great game, Eloy.

Thank goodness, we can now have an OF of Remillard/Robert/Sheets. All Star level.

11 K's, no walks. I hate this team.

So Lucas is going to give up 1 hit to an awful STL team, and lose, huh? Standard 2023 White Sox procedure.

Boy, do I love Tim Anderson.

Team has 2 hits, and both by Andrus. That is all you need to know about this game, and the team in general.

Comical, our journeyman infielder is starting in LF, and leading off

We seriously just PH this (Grandal): For this (Seby) :

Sheets really adds great value to this roster. Another L in the books.

And he's also hitting better than 56% of our lineup, so I wouldn't disparage him too much...

You know its a great game, when you muster a total of 5 hits, and Colas has 2 of them.

Look at that, a guy hustling out of the box, and it results in good things.

As the biggest Colas supporter out there, I can definitely say, he has not looked good tonight, at all. Pitch recognition is definitely not there.

The Cardinals truly are as bad as the Sox. What a crazy, evenly matched contest.

Whoops. White Sox baseball.

It would be REAL useful if somehow, beyond any semblance of normalcy, TA got red hot for the next 2 weeks. At least then, someone might take him on.

If only we had an actual RFer out there, to play, instead of Remillard...such a stupid organization and coaching staff.

C : Perez/Zavala 1B: Vaughn 2B: Remillard SS: Sosa 3B: Burger LF: Benintendi CF: Robert RF: Colas DH: Eloy SP: Kopech, Banks, Schultens, .......I can't even finish the rotation, that makes me vomit.

Moncada is movable at 1/$19m, which is what I mentioned. Moncada still has that dirty little word "potential" to many baseball minds. And potential is the most dangerous thing to bet money on. He needs to not be in Chicago anymore, and the FO needs to admit that the Sale trade was a loss. As for Beni, I'm pretty sure no other teams out there need a lightly powered, decent but not great OFer, locked in for 4 more years. Those are pretty much available every year in the offseason. All of this is probably an exercise in futility anyways, because Rick Hahn is either too stupid, or too proud, to admit this entire rebuild was a shining failure. Instead of doing the right moves, this org will try to go find a couple of C rate arms, and stay in the AL Central race.

I can't see anyone taking 64 million on, for Andrew Benintendi. That is the only thing I meant by 'bad'. He's going to be here. Robert is an obvious one, and Colas is under control for a while and has promise still. I don't consider Eloy an OFer at all. He is 27 this year, so keeping him around as the DH would work in some capacity. Yoan has 29 million left guaranteed. I don't think the Sox would have to eat 20 at all, maybe half of that. If you can get out of 29 million in bad contracts for Mr. Glass, at a cost of 10 million, you do that. Cease has 2 years of controlled arbitration left, and then he is gone regardless. Now is probably the best return you could get, with another team knowing there is some control there.

I've got some bad news. If this sell off is to happen, it has to include Cease and Moncada as well. The 3 OFers are the only selection of players that are safe, either because of a bad contract, or controllable for a decent price/timeframe.

Hey, TA hitting 2nd...who'da thought? I'm sitting the 2nd game of this debacle out, despite wanting to watch Colas.

8-18-2 in series this year, now Bring on the Ls.
