He started out hot but is hitting like .196 with a .590 OPS in June.

Welp Thorpes out, don’t have to watch this trash anymore.

Thorpe, woof.

What a disastrous start for Thorpe. He looks awful.

s%*# he’s already at 3.1 bWAR

He’s just annoying.

I tried to be patient, but Schriffen ain’t it. This guy sucks.

I thought they should have resigned him. Obviously, that would have been a disaster. He had a 4.3 bWAR season in 2022, its pretty crazy that he didn't just decline he fell straight off the cliff at lightspeed.

Im not sure you get anything more than we got for him holding out using hindsight. He is having a much better season than 2023 currently, but he is pacing out more like 2021 Cease and not 2022 Cease. Also, I would assume he would have slightly worse numbers on this team than on San Diego, so I consider that as well.

Yep, no brainer actually.

Hey I just said I could see it. What I personally believe is we are going to be waiting quite a while before we see another playoff game for the White Sox.

Depends on what happens with Robert, Crochet, and Fedde trades. If done right, yeah I could see them playoff competitive by 2027/2028.

What was the average length of time from a 100-plus-loss season to a playoff appearance? The average time to the next postseason berth for one of these teams during the Wild Card Era -- we’re using that period for this question because since the implementation of the Wild Card in 1995, there has been more opportunity to reach the postseason -- was 6.6 years.

Kinda pitching like one at the moment

Minnesotas look real nice, apparently they debut tomorrow.

He should have never been on the team to begin with, seems like it was just a product of the mindset that were going to fix all these defensive issues and this team will be 15 games better than 2023. Oof.

Well, not everyone. Pretty sure there was 1 or 2 posters thinking they could push 90 wins.

Yeah I agree, he should be the type of player getting a chance on a team like this. He was just lumped into the grouping of players that are producing value and after his hot start he is pretty much the same as every other lousy player currently on the roster.

Also want to point out that Julks has been pretty bad recently. I think people started beating their chests on him a little too early.

Even if they fire him now they wouldn’t be paying two managers, someone in house would just interim for the rest of the year.

Is anyone else having trouble with mlbtv? I keep picking the Sox broadcast but it just plays seattles.

So far, he has done nothing to assume he can't be an ace. Hes a top 50 prospect, his production in the minors was outstanding, he has an elite off speed pitch. Just because he doesn't throw 98 doesn't mean he can't be an ace.

Well it’s going to be 3-4 years minimum, so I went with the odds of Thorpe not making it. Would love to be wrong though.

The current roster as of today. My guess would be zero.

Yeah the sooner they flush this trash out of here and start giving the young guys longer looks it will at least be enjoyable to watch even if they lose.
