No I think the Cubs have had more success than the Sox and Phillies, even if it didn't result in championships. IIRC the Cubs won 5 pennants from 1929-1945 but lost every one of those WS. Most of them to the Yankees. Edited September 3, 2019 by Jack Parkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Back before divisional play the White Sox had to compete with the Yankees for that one playoff spot. That kind of skews everything. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3GamesToLove Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 The Sox are the only one of the charter franchises to never play in the postseason in consecutive years, and have the fewest postseason appearances amongst those teams as well. They're definitely in the conversation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstar Lamar Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Did I read correctly that Renteria only intends to give Collins 4-5 starts behind the plate the rest of the way? Why is no one from above having a conversation with him to correct his role in the player development process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's the growing possibility (as horrifying as it is) that they like what he's doing as manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like the Sox have Collins earmarked for the primary DH next year, while getting spot starts here and there at catcher and 1B.

I'm hoping we get Grandal and go with DH / Catcher / Backup with McCann, Grandal and Collins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
