Go look at his post history. He would comment on a post and then end it with like “well this weather is beautiful I think I’ll drop the top on the ol wrangler and take a drive” it was hilariously awkward.
-
And he also insulted that Downtown Brown guy who always made creepy Jeep references in all of his posts and now I don't ever see him anymore and can't laugh at how weird he is.
-
Its not like his FIP is bad anyways lol, I don't get it.

I want no part of signing a 33 year old pitcher to a multiyear $20+ million dollar deal. And in case you haven't been paying attention, neither do the White Sox. If you want to build a team to compete, then you trade Fedde this year. Were not one SP away from competing.
-
Toronto's not very impressive, but I am going to be pretty surprised if they win more than 2 games out of the 7 against the Yankees and Orioles.
-
As much as I want to assault you for even posting this, lets just consider this.. Assume they need 90 wins to make the playoffs. They would have to go 76 - 42 the rest of the way to get there. 76 - 42.

White Sox vs. Washington Blue Legs (1873) - 5/15, 1:10 PM first pitch
T R U replied to Quin's topic in 2024 Season in Review
I tuned in while at work for a minute and saw a cool graphic that said he ranks #1 in MLB for catchers for Pop Time and Throw Strength. Very nice to see. -
He's way more valuable to the Sox as a trade chip than a 33 year old pitcher making $20 million a year in a rebuilding cycle.

Chris Getz is really bad at his job so far. Forget the names, who cares, but teams on a 100 loss trajectory do not need to be trading ANY 20 year olds with a pulse for 28 year old AAAA players. There isn't some warm body somewhere you could have signed for AAA depth? This is what I am just so confused about. Why give away a 20 year old kid for someone who is more likely to be DFA'd this season than have any meaningful impact on this franchise. It makes no sense.

Chasing Records — 121 losses, modern MLB record

There were some decent seasons 2008-2012. 2013 through today though, embarrassing. -
Chasing Records — 121 losses, modern MLB record
T R U replied to Paulie4Pres's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Ive been a fan. as far as I can remember, for about 32 years or so now. Ive never known the White Sox to be as worthless as they have been for the last 12 years minus 2021, the fruit of our rebuild, which abruptly ended after one 93 win season. My lasting memories of the Sox is they were good for 83 to 88 wins and generally offered an enjoyable viewing experience most seasons. What has been going on for the past decade has been just total s%*#. -
Robbie Grossman traded to TEX for RHP Anthony Hoopii-Tuionetoa
T R U replied to Sleepy Harold's topic in Pale Hose Talk
The White Sox are not going to sign Fedde to an extension. They would need to commit minimum $18-20 million per year for multiple years if he is this low 3 ERA guy. Let some other team that doesn't care about money make that signing. -
Chasing Records — 121 losses, modern MLB record
T R U replied to Paulie4Pres's topic in Pale Hose Talk
I agree, I don't believe him at all that he cares about truly winning and the Getz in house hiring just proved to me that it's still the same s%*# different year. However, I do believe that no one likes to be embarrassed so the quicker this team craters out and Pedro is fired and eventually we move on from Getz by JR's hand or the next one the better this franchise will be. I really don't like my favorite baseball team being trash. Nobody here should be campaigning to keep guys like Fedde and Crochet and Robert so we can get a handful of extra wins out of a miserable season. The goal should be sustained success and cashing in on these guys now is how you get the chance to reach that goal. -

T R U replied to Paulie4Pres's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Were fans of arguably the worst franchise in MLB history all things considered. Been around since 1901 and have made the playoffs 11 times. I am OK with them losing to such an embarrassing point it forces changes to be made. We just saw this happen last season when the front office guys with seemingly lifetime contracts were finally let go because of the 100 loss campaign. You think they were getting fired if this team was 81-81? No shot. -
At 12-29 and coming off a little hot streak a lot of people are now "See, they weren't really as bad as it started" however, their pyth. W/L is 11-30, so yeah its still pretty bad overall. This team is still not going to be competitive next season, so with that in mind if im the GM, the following names are on the block right now and traded this season pending.... If the offer blows the doors off: Luis Robert (Otherwise, get him healthy and trade in the off-season/2025 deadline) If the offer is strong with legit prospects: Garrett Crochet (Otherwise, finish the year hopefully strong and trade in the off-season/2025 deadline) Must be traded this season by the deadline, ranked by expected return: Return Tier 1: Erick Fedde Return Tier 2: Michael Kopech; Steven Wilson Return Tier 3: Tommy Pham; John Brebbia Return Tier 4: Gavin Sheets; Paul DeJong; Chris Flexen

Robbie Grossman traded to TEX for RHP Anthony Hoopii-Tuionetoa
T R U replied to Sleepy Harold's topic in Pale Hose Talk
No, keeping a pitcher that puts up a low 3 ERA on two bad seasons then watching him leave for nothing doesn’t sound fun at all. Trading him for a handful of prospects that could be here for 6 years and contribute to a winning Sox team sounds like a blast however. -
Yeah a no brainer for guys like Kopech, Brebbia, and Wilson. Leasure is cheap, young, good, and still has 5+ years of control. That’s not the guy to trade.
-
Why would they trade Leasure? I’ll assume you meant someone else.
-
The Sox can cover his remaining salary for this year and the $5 million buyout to move him. There would be no risk for the other team if that’s what happens.
