That's been my point. How is Korey Lee going to get much from Stassi and Maldonado if he's hundreds of miles away in Charlotte. Hows the new catching coach going to help him?
-
What he did wrong was have an OBP slightly over .300. That's showing up your teammates.

So was I, and all I did was watch.

When is the announcement the Sox will be changing their main color to Royal blue? When the Royals traded him to Milwaukee several years ago, they got Brett Phillips. Sox won that trade.

2023-24 NFL Season Thread
Dick Allen replied to CentralChamps21's topic in A and J's Olde Tyme Sports Pub
You know what really makes a Super Bowl parade even better? People getting shot. -
There is no way it's close to a done deal. As a White Sox fan who thinks the new park and location are pretty cool, and as a citizen of Chicago who already had to fund a couple of shortfalls with this tax, I would rather they reallocate the funds this tax creates when the GRF debt is supposedly retired in 2029. How about spending it on getting some of the 1500 cops lost they last 7 years replaced, and making it a better place to live? No new taxes, we have more cops would be a win.I get the TIF money is going to be spent by someone, but this thing is going to cost a s%*# ton more than that. If they say $9 million now, it's probably closer to at least $15 billion if it ever gets built. One potential funding source would be to use increases in property taxes to pay debt on the project, which also would likely require a change in the law.
-
so you think TIF money is going to be the ask? I'm saying they haven't even mentioned how it's going to be paid for yet, because they are going to be asking for more than anyone has ever asked for before probably times 3 or 4. All so a billionaire who hasn't put the fans anywhere near first the last decade and a half, can have more money when he dies. This will be so drawn out, unless JR and Related shock us all with tons of private financing. And we know that isn't going to happen. And even if it all means some other billionaire with get the funds, good. The State and City have already given JR billions if you think about it. If they don't built GRF, JR goes to Tampa? How would that of worked out? Plus he pisses so many people off, he sells the Bulls before their dynasty. I know its corny, but JR owes us something.

I would like to ask Pedro when was the last time a team trying to win lost 100 games like his team did, during his only season as a manager.
-
All the new places being drawn up, look essentially the same outside the park. You can bet by the time this one is built, a new, cooler concept will be on drawing boards, leaving the Sox behind from the time it opens.
-
I'm guessing 9 or 10 years if all goes well. They might beat the Bears.
-
They can trick him and all the people who say he should be a starter, and just let him be an opener. Pitch an inning or two and be done with it. Maybe he works himself up to 3 before he goes back on the IL with a sore shoulder, then we can do the exercise again next year.
-
Over time, like about a week, it was clear Pedro was in way over his head. Now he's got an ego as well? He's managed 1 season, a team he said would win both sides of the ball, and go out with the attitude of kicking the opponents ass. He's 40 under .500. A total clown.
-
We had people shot in the park, and you can bet JR would love to have the ace in the hole that the shots came from the surrounding neighborhood if he's looking to move. Too bad he couldn't make that one stick.

Sox sign Corey Knebel and Dominic Leone to Minor League deals.
Dick Allen replied to Bob Sacamano's topic in Pale Hose Talk
The Evil Knievel toy was one of the greatest ever invented. -
Exactly, this is going to be a years long process. We just started the first inning and the White Sox hit a home run getting their fanbase interested and excited about the new location and new park. However, they have a crappy pitching staff and no bullpen, so they game is far from over. This was the easiest part for the Sox. The one thing they may have learned is unlike Comiskey Park, their fanbase has zero attachment to their current home. They may have thought there was at least some.
-
While I do find some of your comments off base, security is a growing concern, especially for a fanbase that looks for excuses not to go to games. Reality or not, Chicago has a reputation right now as being very dangerous. My company has a conference every year, and it's location is rotated. Every other year in Chicago, every other year, someplace else. Not anymore. People are afraid to come, so it won't be in Chicago for quite a while. Now lets not use any public money to hire the thousands of cops the city is short. No, give that money to Related and JR's heirs, they can really use it. They have this plot of land where everyone wants to party, yet can't get anything built unless you line their pockets..

San Francisco signs Jorge Soler to 3 year $42M deal
Dick Allen replied to South Side Hit Men's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Soler is inconsistent but i did see something cool. SF's park is a HR cemetery but all his HR's in 2023 would have cleared their fences., -
Getz is operating differently and that's at least interesting
Dick Allen replied to bmags's topic in Pale Hose Talk
You get a pitcher who has some control issues, is only 2.5 years younger, and in AA. I get Burger will be 28 in April, but he's in his prime years, and they are going to be cheap. That should be right up the White sox alley. -

Dick Allen replied to Bob Sacamano's topic in Pale Hose Talk
This isn't a bad signing. Pitchers usually come back from capsule surgeries, and he's not rushed now.
