  1. Every other team in the MLB CRUSHES 91-92 mph fastballs. This team swings through them. It's fucking insane. Seriously, what gives? They are like high school kids, blown away by 90 mph.
  2. Why are Sox hitters incapable of hitting 91-92 right down the middle??? That's basically BP in 2022.
  3. It's impossible to know what Eloy is since he can't stay on the field.
  4. Every team in the MLB has dealt with major injuries. I'm tired of hearing about injuries.
  5. Lefty Pilkington throwing 92-93 right down the middle and White Sox doing nothing. This team is so unlikeable.
  6. So the Sox are carrying three catchers because they're going to DH Grandal the rest of the season, aren't they? Would be such a White Sox thing to do.
  7. Grandal playing both double header games while TA does not is just straight fucking LOL.
  8. Uh, it's actually not. It's right on the MLB scholarship page. Called "CEP guide for players". Right above the link you just provided... Which is just a reimbursement guide. MLB | College Scholarship | MLB.com
  9. Your grasp of the English language seems to be the issue here.
  10. Source? Because this right from MLB, disagrees with you: MLB | College Scholarship | Player Guide 2017 | MLB.com
  11. The MLB was quite literally BUILT on not paying players full salaries when they ARE productive early in their careers. What are we even talking about here?
  12. They're forcing players to choose between going to college and being a kid, or immediately starting their "pro" career. I'd wager the overwhelming majority of these 17 and 18 year old high school kids lack the maturity to be a "professional" anything. Let alone thrown into an MLB farm system. Yes, the higher round picks are well compensated, but how many rounds are there in the MLB draft, again? And from what I understand, that college scholarship program is a negotiated part of their first contract. Meaning, not all players get it? Do we really believe an owner like Reinsdorf is paying for college for ALL of the guys that they draft? Lol, come on. My statement really wasn't about Noah Schultz. It's a general statement about the MLB's draft policy. The MLB is the only sport that works this way, and forces kids to choose college or a pro career immediately. Hell, the NBA won't even let you draft high school kids. I think kids having to make those decisions right out of high school is fucked up. But to each their own.
  13. The whole can't go to college thing with MLB draft picks is such a terrible, unethical fucking part of the game. Kids shouldn't have to make that choice.
  14. What a fucking ignorant comment. You have NO idea what's going on with him.
  15. That was eight years ago. He's also 35 years old. It might be age more than anything.
  16. I find it interesting how many people here make fun of Lance Lynn for his weight, while we all love Cueto. Who is also a fat ass. Lol Baseball history is riddled with fat asses that performed just fine.
  17. Six is more than enough with the way Sox hitters have looked. Hell, one might be.
