The only thing that I got from this thread was how bad Maldonado has been. Its criminal that he is still on this roster. Also, we could possibly end this season with two players at -2.0 bWAR or worse. Oof.

There's over 7,300 members on this board and I was somewhere between 600-620 if I remember right. So, its been a long time.

Those numbers aren't going to cut it for a 1B only player who sucks defensively.

Im so out on Schriffen. The growl after the Robert HR was the nail in the coffin. Get this goofball out of here. I totally understand that they can't sit there and s%*# all over the team but come on.

How many did they win with Sale?

Enough of this bunting s%*#, if you play for 1 run that’s all you’re gonna get.

Yup, throw was a little off target or else they nail him

Lmao Vaughn, nice try

I agree, I don’t trust Crochet at all.

I was just commenting on the report that they talked extension but doesn’t seem likely. The Sox don’t do big money pitcher extensions and Crochets too close to free agency to commit to some weak ass deal.

They shouldn’t, I want him traded not resigned.

I’m sure the White Sox kicked around some team friendly deal which Crochet rightfully should have said f*** off.

The replay showed he swung and it wasn’t even close.

lol Stone is an announcer what’s he supposed to say “well the white Sox are too cheap to extend Garrett so expect to see him traded in the next few weeks”

lol I came in here to say that. The growls, wtf.

He had a 3.58 FIP against a 6.79 ERA, that's insane. As mentioned already, a lot had to do with the horseshit defense playing behind him. Bummer is into his 8th season now and has a career ERA of 3.82 with a career FIP of 3.33. You just don't really see middle relievers with that kind of consistent longevity. The dude is a good reliever.

I guess it wasn't the best comparison, but the majority people here hate Kopech and I get it. They also hated Aaron Bummer, but he was never as bad as everyone made it seem. He just wore out his welcome here and it was time to move on, exactly like Kopech now.

Kopech is getting the Aaron Bummer treatment around here, as soon as he gets traded I fully expect him to "figure it out"

As much as I want them to lose, Robert hits a HR and Kopech looks dominant. Those are the real wins here.

Wouldn't have been 3 in a row anyways lol

Ill take a Robert HR all day though

Would love to see Sale throw a perfect game today to really stick it to this sad sack franchise.

For sure, but if they draft Cags in a few weeks that all changes.

The Braves got a viable middle reliever The White Sox got a handful of garbage and a 24 year old A ball pitcher who is doing decent. The Braves definitely won this trade in terms of performance. That being said, even if we get nothing out of any of these guys I wouldn't say we lost this trade since it was time to move on from Bummer anyways and he was a decent middle reliever, so whatever.
