[6/10 White Sox vs Texas Rangers, 7:10]

I like Joe Girardi. Ozzie would be my second choice. Third maybe Bochy.

[And that’s a White Sox Winner!]

We're going to end up being stuck with the Leury banner, aren't we? It's almost poetic. ?

[FCC might get a call...]

All those years of Hawk screaming "you gotta be bleeping me" and he could have just said it.

I don't know how it will work long term for Collins, but literally everything that was said about Collins was said about Narvaez when they traded him - "He'll never learn to catch, his framing is awful, I think there's something permanently wrong with his hand-eye coordination that he can never fix", and then with the better coaching and development staffs on other franchises Narvaez turned into a solid catcher within a couple short years. 

When is the last time our coaching staff took a player with flaws and improved upon them, outside of Cooper with a few pitchers? It seems like position players come here and get worse, if anything.

[White Sox vs Guardians GT 4/21/22]

This is making me glad I decided to pay month-to-month for MLB.tv instead of going ahead and getting the whole season. I have a feeling my interest in watching this team may need to be re-evaluated.

[White Sox vs Guardians GT 4/21/22]

lol how many MLB teams with a .069 hitter in the 3-hole. ?

[7/19- Twins at Sox Gm 1, 4:10]

Katz helping ReyLo become a serviceable starter would be huge. Wonder how quick they'll be with the hook if he gets into trouble.

[ELOY back Monday against KC]

I'm going to tonight's Dash game. Excited to see Eloy and Cespedes.

[Jake Burger 4 DH!]

This team needs a warm body on defense and a bat with decent power. Why overpay for imitation steak when you have a 100% USDA Beef Burger in the fridge? Call em' up.

Wouldn't surprise me if Burger could cover an OF corner. Jake strikes me as a true baseball player. He's in good shape and runs ok for a big guy.

I could see him being a Carlos Quentin stockier type of RF.

We could certainly use the power in the OF. Vaughn/Eloy -- Robert -- Burger would be a super-powered OF with DH used for rest.

[Sox @ Pirates, 6/23, 11:35 CT]

Does Abreu know he is still allowed to use pine tar!?

[Sox @ Pirates, 6/23, 11:35 CT]

Katz always seems to come out AFTER a pitching meltdown. I would rather see him be more proactive and come out after the defensive lapse. Let Dylan get his bearings and settle down the nerves.

[Sox @ Pirates, 6/23, 11:35 CT]

Frank is as good in the booth as he was in the box. Great color analyst.

[Jose Abreu - This is the End?]

As the protection behind him has faded, he has started pressing.

Right. Probably shouldn't just say Eloy - it's everyone. In April he had a really decent DH in Yermin behind him. Now, with the injuries and other players throughout the lineup playing through injury... he's really pressing. I also think it's very possible that Abreu himself is hurt. I can think of two or three close calls where I thought he might go down for a while and he's played through it. It would not be a surprise to learn that something is nagging him at the plate.

[Heyman: Sox interested in someone on some team. Nightengale: *nods*]

Honest question, is Escobar really an upgrade over Mendick?

[Hahn: Too early to know if Sox will be buyers]

Assuming we can get healthy by the playoffs, relatively speaking. Are we a proven setup-man away from seriously contending?

I use SurfShark. Works really well. Just pick a server in another country to route through and you're good to go. https://surfshark.com/

Living in Canada these games are blacked out on MLB TV. A real Bummer.

Vaughn is just a gamer. Put him anywhere in the field and he's going to give you the effort.

[5/13: Minnesota @ Chicago White Sox 1:10 PM CDT]

"Would like to see Mendick pinch hit for Lamb, play second, shift Vaughn to first and Garcia to LF."

This is the way.

Thanks, Obama.

[Tony La Russa named Manager]

I'd rather have TLR than Hinch. Ugh.

Hopefully neither and we get someone who could actually command the respect of their clubhouse.

Agree with the post above from @soxfan49. I think Ricky sucks, but it's not due to a conspiracy. He just isn't a very good manager. I think he is orders of magnitude worse than Robin with handling the BP honestly.
