Tim had 26 total errors this season, 13 of which were fielding errors and 13 on throws Link.

It's the "millennials are soft" era according to the statniks.

Not unexpected, but confirmed.

The White Sox weren't on his no trade list this year, but it's hard to find a full list from years past link.

I'm not sure if you're on Twitter, but LOTS of people there haven't forgotten. They continue to whine and complain almost daily about it.

That post aged like a glass of milk in the AZ sun.

And the cutting begins.

StubHub is owned by eBay, who is in process of trying to sell them. Ticketmaster merged with Live Nation some years back. The team sold the tickets to the person who is listing them, so it's not like they aren't getting paid for the seats. If you're finding deals below face on a secondary market, the person who you're buying from is the "loser" in the deal so to speak. As long as the teams get some butts in the seats, people paying for parking, buying concessions/merch, etc. (And also these killer TV contracts), they can roll with it.

Outside of the Joc stuff, I just remember him "predicting" in late May that Cease would be called "soon" and it happened about a month later. So, yeah.

Zack Britton ruptured his in Dec 2017 and was back pitching in the majors in June 2018. Betances partially tore his in September, so maybe he'll be ready by the start of the regular season. That might be an optimistic timeline (I don't know, I'm no doctor), but I think we expect the worst after what happened with Burger.

People weren't tuning in to watch the Sox because they've sucked for 10+ years a d grew tired of it. That has nothing to do with the broadcast crew, who are regarded as one of the better duos out there Link.

100%, the Warthogs name was infinitely better than the Dash.

Cool tribute to Dale with the logo.

It was a trash idea when you "jokingly" suggested it the first time, and it's a trash idea now.

Yeah...no. This take ?

It should make a big enough impact that in theory, we won't have to sit through more Covey/Santiago/Santana/Despaigne/Detailer starts.

It's official now.

Hawk was very much near the cream of the crap for the last 7 years or so of his duties. I grew up on Hawk calls, but man was it his time to go.

I doubt he'd even really want to leave LA in the first place. If anything, I think he tests the FA waters to see what his market is and goes back to the Dodgers so they can work something out.

I believe this is how it should be approached. Whatever beef they had like 15 years ago shouldn't matter anymore. The man represents a lot of the top talent that the MLB has to offer for a reason. Balking at negotiating with him only does a disservice to your team. If they intend to be serious about taking the next step, this is something that the FO has to get over.

"The sexy unknown"? People know what JD is, a great damn hitter. He can't field at all, but he sure can hit the hell out of the ball. In '17, JD had an OPS (on base percentage + slugging) that was 160 points higher than Jose, in '18 it was 233 points higher than Jose, and this year it was 105 points higher. That's a pretty wide gap if you ask me. Jose had a nice rebound year in '19, but JD would provide the team with a bonafide DH for the first time since the shell of Adam Dunn roamed the premises, some desperately needed on base percentage (his OBPs the last 3 years are .376, .402, .383, guys on base more have a better chance of scoring runs), protection for everyone else in the lineup, and can be a great influence on the young hitters we have here/coming up (see Betts, Mookie). It's not about "statniks"/advanced stat people trying to shame the traditional stat followers, it's about making the White Sox a better baseball team. Adding a high quality bat to a lineup that sure could use it makes all the sense in the world. His age is what it is, he's about 7 months younger than Jose FWIW, but as a professional hitter and not much of a fielder anymore, one would hope to project that he doesn't fall off the "wrong side of 30" cliff as quickly as a normal position player would/does. Jose isn't a good 1Bman by any means, but both of them could definitely coexist, and the both of them on a 2020 White Sox roster would make it significantly better.

Was it this?
