Jerksticks

I feel ya. Could be nice chance to rest the pen though. Didn’t he just pitch through the heart of the order

Of all the shit we’ve seen this year. That Leury bunt was the worst

!!!! Wut

Stupid Yas with the pickoff signal

Million dollar question. I’m going to remain super patient with the sweetest LH swing in baseball

Yea. He’s pretty cool!

For you maybe. For me it’s the insane amount of absolutely tip-top premium talent at almost every position.

I love must-win games in April. Looks like the Yankees & Rays also have must-win games today as well. Terrible part is they are playing each other! One team is toast today

No man, I’m saying look at the standings. Pretty much every team that was supposed to be really good this year is about .500 or under. Only the Dodgers and Padres seem to be walking the walk. Seriously take a look. Seems to me that the Twins, Sox, Tribe, Jays, Yankees, Rays, Astros, Braves, Mets, Phillies and the entire NL Central must all be blowing some games too. Seems like most of the league is working out the kinks to start the year, including us. I wouldn’t trade our roster with any of those. Ownership, yes. But I said roster. If you can’t see that we’re stacked compared to almost every team I don’t know what to tell you except...maybe take some drugs to relax ?

People have no concept of what other teams are also dealing with. We are absolutely frickin stacked with good players compared to any other team in the AL. It’s not even close. Most teams kinda suck right now Go ahead, try to make an argument that you’d rather have the Yankees roster ?

Joc is not good.

Agree. I’m glad they picked the guy who actually plays the game vs the guy who just free swings like a jackass. Super glad they didn’t sign Joc. That seemed like such an obvious disaster waiting to happen- dodged a bullet.

Alright youngster, out you go!

Preach it Cap! Got me a big cigar for after the fam goes to bed for the last half

Me too good points

Well 12 outa 15 AL teams are within a game of .500 or worse. Boston, LA and Cleveland are the only teams that have won a couple more games. Just like everybody picked before the season started.

Nervousness, whininess, grabbing pitchforks, blaming, shaming, going full priss etc.

Holy shit that was awesome! It’s almost like all the teams blow shit tons of games all year. Who’d have guessed!

Cmon, there’s gotta be somebody mad at Tony for waiting a batter too long or something ?

Totally. TA is our big middle finger. We need him back batting 1 ASAP. I think that’ll settle things down.

One of the funniest things ever is when we as fans point to wrong-sided platoon lineup decisions like they are these “AH HA! See?! Gotcha!!!” moments. Like the actual baseball people in charge of our team aren’t aware of platoon advantages/disadvantages. This isn’t saber. This isn’t smarts. This platoon awareness predates the world wars for Pete’s sake. They frickin know about it.

Where do you see the Sox’ farm ranking next offseason, assuming a full minor league slate goes down as planned? Popular opinion is it’s weak after these graduations. I’m going bold and think it’ll be top 5 again.

Yes. People still aren’t realizing they are about to see a historically good team. This is easily going to be the best White Sox team ever assembled. Even this year, which is a couple years ahead of peak IMO. I STILL think this holds up even with Eloy gone, though it’s going to be closer because of that. Eloy going down sucks because I thought we were going to steamroll the reputations of the best Yankee teams in history

I get your point but you’re misunderstanding the term “ceiling”. Nick doesn’t have a high floor. His floor is “total dogshit, unplayable weak-hitting, poor defender who can’t even maintain useful BA/OBP with zero power”. That’s his floor because it’s actually an outcome with pretty decent odds. His ceiling is one of the most valuable players in baseball, hitting mid to high 300s with OBPs easily around 400, and a special ability to find holes and gaps. The Sox drafted him at #4 because he actually has a decent shot of hitting this enormous ceiling. The Sox put their massive team balls on the table when they drafted him. It’s not the safe “floor” pick that people often misrepresent.

Yep. And that would end up being one of the best #4 picks in forever
