Look at their record over the last 35 years. This shouldn't be the only thing that gives you little confidence in this organization.

The issue I have with this is two fold: 1. The Sox should have had better medicals/info that anyone on Rodon. Clearly, the guy was healthy in 2021 and is showing he's more than healthy in 2022. 2. When you use the word "risk" in this case, I'd buy it more if Rodon got a contract for 3,4,5 years. He did not. At worst, he got a 2 year deal, but with his performance this season, it looks like he'll be hitting the FA market again this offseason. What's frustrating is given how this season has gone, if Rodon put up these numbers with the Sox, they're still a frustrating team but they're sitting in 1st place right now.

And god forbid someone bet on themselves. Gio not excepting an extension that we don’t even know the dollar figure of doesn’t make him greedy, but I suppose the OP’s user name checks out.

Lol, why is he greedy?

Fastballs right down the cock to Correa seems like a bad idea, maybe it’s just me.0

If they win tomorrow, I don't see how you can bring TLR back this season, right? (Removing the idea that he shouldn't be here in the first place, or that he should have been gone months ago, etc)

Awesome W and game by Cease.

I don’t know if this makes me a meatball or not but this is fucking embarrassing by the Twins and I absolutely think Baldelli is doing it to f*** with Cease.

I haven't watched in a while now, but that seems very telling as a summation of the entire club. Andrew Vaughn is a good hitter. He's been a good hitter literally his entire baseball career, and that really hasn't changed now that he's in MLB. There doesn't seem to be any plan, any strategy, and certainly any urgency to put good AB's together, work up a pitch count, play the long game, etc. It's a bunch of individuals going up to the plate without a gameplan and hoping for the best.

It's fine to be optimistic, but these guys haven't played a single snap in the regular season. No one has any idea who these guys will be, including the Bears. Let's slow it down a little bit before we start talking about an unknown GM "hitting it out of the park" with a bunch of unknown players.

So what would you like the Sox to look like in 2023? What improvements need to be made, who's in the dugout, who's the GM?

One of the many things I don’t understand about Jerry. I understand loyalty, but that’s Hahn spending like 30 million on a combined zero fWAR for the season, in the middle of the “window” How can you be ok spending those resources that resulted in…this.

No, you wanted to bet that Tim Anderson would serve his suspension next season. I said I would take that bet. You lost. I don’t need to do double or nothing, I won.

When are you going to pay up for your Anderson bet? You post 200 times a day, but I’ve called you out twice and never got a response. Tick-Tock….

That premise is still flawed. They "intentionally" had multiple losing seasons (instead of their normal losing seasons) in order to "rebuild" and "build a contender" Thus far, the "rebuild" has produced two playoff appearances where the Sox were absolutely out-classed in both appearances. No playoff series victories. Going into this third year of "the window" just making the playoffs shouldn't be good enough. Of course it would be enough for this Front Office, but it shouldn't be nearly enough for us.

If they lose tomorrow they'll actually be losers at 63-64

First time since 1990 the Sox won't have a 20 HR hitter

Yeah, the two of them are great, I've liked Gomez in it, and I liked where they took this second season. The neighbor Harold always cracks me up too, really like that actor.

First two episodes of this new season I didn't like, but the rest of the season was really good.

There is no evidence to think otherwise.

There honestly isn't the evidence to even back this claim up. The 2019 White Sox went 72-89 The 2020 White Sox went 35-25, managed by Rick Renteria, and lost in the first round of the playoffs in a COVID shortened season The 2021 White Sox went 93-69 but were 39-34 in the second half of that season, and got outclassed by Houston in the playoffs. The 2022 White Sox are 63-62 and played exactly .500 baseball in the first half of the season, going 46-46. They're 17-16 in the second half of this season thus far. Since the second half of 2021, the White Sox are 102-96. They've been a .500 team for 200 games. At what point do we stop looking at the first half of 2021 as the real White Sox, are realize this might be who they are?

Oh come on, we were told by the pom pom squad Diekman was a great pickup, it was all this team needed down the stretch!

I respect you're still doing this. I can't wrap my head around the idea of still being invested in this team on August 25th after everything we've witnessed the last year. Just can't do it.

This also speaks to the absolute crap that this farm system has produced. I suppose good on Hahn for getting of those guys...but as others have said, this is a big time stretch to consider the moves Rick has made over the last year+ a "positive"
