And if they thought they had a roster bad enough to lose 110, it shouldn’t be a surprise when they lose 120.

Considering the teams current situation, I’d trade 2 years Crochet for 6 years of him in a heartbeat.

That’s business as usual for the White Sox. Instead of getting one or two great players, split it up and go for mediocrity. Holliday is obviously not on the block. But not wanting him due to some MLB ABs as a 20 year old, he’s younger than Noah Schultz and Hagen Smith, is crazy.

I gave up my season tickets in 2023. I have been getting these emails. If the crossed out name is a female it’s probably the same one that bothered me several times in August and September for a group outing which I have never done. I ignored it for a while just like he did, but after the 5th or 6th one with this same type of being owed a response back email, I gave her one. Told her the team was a laughingstock, I value my money more than to blow it on a product so uninteresting and not entertaining, and I wouldn’t be interested in what she was selling until the team showed it had a clue how to put together a team that was worthy of my time and money. That stopped the emails. They literally were coming every other day.

Ozzie was in the commercial for the new channel, so you have to figure he is coming back.

I guess you gave up on the premium defensive position argument. That was pretty fast.

Holliday would be the Sox best player since Frank Thomas.

He played as a 20 year old. Colson Montgomery is almost 2 years older than him.

When is the last time the Sox had a real good 2B?

I think anyone with a cable package or YouTube tv or whatever just wants it on their platform to watch. I get everyone in the Chicago are could get it with rabbit ears, but it’s kind of a pain in the ass, and at this point mostpeople don’t want rabbit ears in the rooms they watch TV and don’t want to have to switch their input on their TV. It certainly takes away from channel changing during the games. It’s weird, when everyone used rabbit ears, the Sox couldn’t wait to get away from it, now that most don’t have them, they go back. it is a positive though that most in Chicagoland will have access to each game even if it is a pain in the ass for the majority. It would really be nice if ownership made the effort worth it with a halfway decent team.

Which would be excellent. Maybe he’s been working on it for a couple of days.

I can’t believe Caulfield isn’t giving this a try. 63 names in one post is right up his alley.

Might have won 43 and not set a record. But of course Jake Eder is a stud.

I think it will be a long while before significant trades. First up is the new manager. Now JR has basically said managers and coaches , except named Tony LaRussa, make no difference. But in his letter, he made it appear this will be a franchise altering hire. I can’t wait.

When he was drafted, I was as big of Andrew Vaughn fan as there was. Everything I saw, everything I read , was so positive. This was a guy who made pitchers throw strikes. I was so excited. But he still misses pitches by 2 feet. His numbers are basically the same every year. If they keep him one more year, just in case, I'll get it, but it's probably time to move on.

They had reason to release him. Under the Chris Getz developmental program, he was 0-6 with a 15.92 ERA

Yeah Getz was holding court before that game and told everyone that obviously Hagen will be spending some quiality time while he was there with Garrett Crochet. When they asked him about it in the booth, he never spoke to him. Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.

He's a 40 year old man trying to talk like a 16 or 17 year old. I honestly think he would be great at the hot dog eating contest. I had it on one year. It's beyond disgusting to watch, but the commentary is great. One guy was calling these dopes jamming 50 hot dogs down their gullets , the greatest athletes in the world. That's exactly what he would say.

That was the one game I attended this year, so I missed it live. It was right at the beginning of June. I was still trying to like him. I know his situation was pretty messed up. But listening to that later lost me. He has no idea the difference between baseball and WWE,and UFC, and Slamball.

Vaughn has been basically the same for 3 years. If the choice is him or Sheets, I'd take him, but they both should probably go.

I think the biggest difference other than admitting being wrong is there is no way JR would suggest signing a Jordan Montgomery type to a 1 year $25 million contract.

I was watching a show with Adam Amin and he asked of the 3 teams in the network who is closest to a championship. The guy said the Bulls, and thought their roster was stacked. The woman said she was going to say the Bulls but she will go with the White Sox, the team that just lost more game than any other team this and last century, saying they were a lot closer than people think. JR probably has already given them extensions.

He hit .201 overall with the Dodgers. In almost 500 plate appearances now, he's hitting .175. I think he is better than what he hit after he was traded, but no where near the middle of the order bat Getz was projecting.

The first one, clearly hungover, and Maeda starting was another giveaway. Winning was nice, but not at the expense of hiving your rotation set.

But he has Bedard, maybe the only thing worth watching on the channel.
