  1. Schriffen's job is calling baseball games, yet he shuns one of the best and most knoweldgeable sources of pitching info publically available. It speaks to a lack of intellectual curiosity IMO. On top of being bad at his job, he acts like he's better for remaining ignorant. It's a bad combo. The more he opens his mouth (and puts his foot in it), he proves he's just a meathead who wants to appeal to other meatheads. It works for Slamball or other hype-based broadcasts, but not for baseball. A healthy org would have quietly let him go after last season, yet here we are discussing yet another on-air f*** up that reflects the incompetence of the org as a whole. Maybe someday the White Sox won't be a source of daily embarrassment, but that day is not today.
  2. Meh. Niether of these dudes are any good, and hardly worth getting upset about. Only difference is that a bad GM was dumb enough to guarantee $6M instead of letting both go.
  3. This deal is why it was wise to trade him at peak value. Jerry would never ok that number for a player, let alone a pitcher with Crochet’s injury history. Maybe someday Sox fans will be able to have nice things, but that day is not today or anytime soon.
  4. Rain, yes, but I don't think anyone expected it to be that crazy that quickly. The tarp snafu could have happened anywhere, it just happened to be the most incompetent org in the Majors. But the org incompetence isn't why it happened, it's just a lazy, yet easy conflation to make across social media.
  5. The shadow of incompetence after a historically bad season is going to plague this organization for a while. If this were any other ballpark it wouldn't go viral, or as viral, and wouldn't be more meme fodder. Bossard's crew is well known for being one of the best. Yesterday's storm really came out of nowhere, and hit hard and fast, and could have happened at any open air ballbark in a colder climate. In reality this was just a freak occurrence that happened to happen to the Sox.
  6. Notice how I said he'd likely out produce guys here? Getz should have claimed the dude already, and should be giving as many guys like Canario a shot over the 30 something crowd that have no future here. But he's incompetent, so he won't. I have zero expectations for Getz to make smart moves like this. But I'm not going to lament passing on a fringe guy that would likely be burried here just the same.
  7. He's the random castoff flavor of the week. Getz will stick to his beloved washed up vets, and Canario will go somewhere else and have little impact, yet still out-produce anyone he would have replaced here. Much to the consternation of few.
  8. Yeah, bad luck is such a minute factor here that it's almost irrelevant. If new hires that look great on paper aren't impacting or preventing the continual string of bad decisions, what exactly has changed other than the names in those positions?
  9. Because these are the White Sox and incompetence reigns? But also, holy s%*# are they bad at this.
  10. M's OF is pretty full. Unless Colas can magically play 3B, I'm gonna call bullshit. Just like all of this dude's phoney leaks. If multiple teams had interest, Colas wouldn't have just been DFA'd at the end of spring.
  11. Classic. OD rosters dont have to be announced until Thursday morning, so the entire OP is moot.
