Feelings about Gio in this board were somewhat mixed. I recall reading some concern that he may be as developed as he can be and yet not very good

There are a number of potential outcomes and unfortunately most of them are not good.

I was hoping we'd be a little better last year, but if we're going to be bad, at least the guys on the farm are performing.

My partner is an ER physician. It is really, really bad. Really puts some things in perspective. Hug your family members and friends.

This is absolutely terrible. Hope the young man pulls through.

My name changed. I don't mind, but it was a bit surprising.

Agreed. Mike and Mike worked and ESPN foolishly tried to mess it up. Well, they succeeded.

As much as I'm frustrated with the team's current performance, the farm is on fire right now.

So it looks like Get Up! on ESPN is a flop.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Apr 16, 2018 -> 09:44 AM) Moncada still hasn't any stolen base attempts. Perhaps Rick has become more enlightened on the risk/reward of a stolen base. There's a time and place for a stolen base, but it's not as frequent as you think.

QUOTE (ron883 @ Apr 15, 2018 -> 10:20 PM) LaRoche was a big dbag and a horrible player for us, so I don't mind the slandering of him. It's symbolic of the bottom of the 12 years of mediocrity since 2006. It's appropriate since SonofaRoache's posts are bottom of the barrel. He mocks the organization and the fans.

QUOTE (Quin @ Apr 15, 2018 -> 10:14 PM) HeGoan is the worst nickname since HoT fIrE. It's a reference to strike outs and it's not just bad, it's idiotic and bordering inflammatory trolling. A lot of us are excited for this kid and "SonofaRoche" is stuck in 2015 with his nonsense.

QUOTE (SonofaRoache @ Apr 15, 2018 -> 09:35 PM) What is his ceiling, and what is HeGoan's? Not to say you are wrong, I'm just curious to see what people think of their potential. Your name is "SonofaRoache" You don't respect White Sox players enough to use their real names. Are you on the right board? Do you struggle to type in "Cubs.com"?

Loved "A Quiet Place" more than "Isle of Dogs", but both were great. "Gemini" was okay. Covered two film blindspots this weekend. Saw The Untouchables, which was good, but not great. Lost in Translation, however, is one of my favorites now.

Back to hitting today Hopefully he bounces right back

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Apr 4, 2018 -> 05:33 PM) The bigger Sox announcing issue is Ed Farmer as a play by play man. As someone who does it for a living all I can say is he isn't. He's a tremendous color analyst...but a play by play guy? Not even close. That's a far bigger issue than Jason who I think is fine and will get better with time. Agreed. The radio broadcast is just not good.

Maybe it's because I'm from out of market so I hear more, but there are just so many bad baseball combinations out there. We're lucky to have gone from the worst (Hawk/Stone) to middle of the pack (Jason/Stone). And, in all fairness, Jason is going to get a lot better. He's such a hot commodity in sportscasting right now

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Apr 4, 2018 -> 11:47 AM) They would totally agree with it if you made the active roster size 27 to support it. Just make it 30 and be done with it

The MLB is so stupid for starting baseball so early.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 10:52 AM) Catchers have been surprisingly affordable on market, I'm okay that we'll find what we need there. Granted sox have been horrible at pro scouting catchers (to perform while a white sox I guess) It seems like in today's game, if you're a hitting catcher you become a first baseman. Maybe that's deflating the price of a catcher?

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 08:45 PM) A great hitting 1B/DH? I’m asking for a top 10 prospect. Better than the Eaton package I think you can ask for the Eaton deal, but you might not get it.

I can't wait until Davidson's slot is Eloy.

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 07:59 PM) Cut ReyLo. He's trash

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 07:51 PM) What was that? I'm going to guess the follow up post would be "Release Abreu" right? Cut Baron

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 07:49 PM) Jose can hit. You wouldn't know it outside the statsheet and on paper, but he's easily the best 1st baseman in Chicago.
