Expand On a team with a respectable staff, he would have been. Yes. However, like you said. With what we've gotten from the guys we've attempted to run out there on the back end of the rotation. There was no way. Especially seeing the decent season he was coming off of. They were always going to stick with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 If we had our 2003 fifth starters or Kenny Rogers we'd be leading the wild card race...at the very least occupying the second spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip Man 1 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) This weekend started off so promising before it turned to crap. Bullpen really starting to show cracks (Bummer, Marshall et al) because the starting pitching is awful and doesn't even give them a chance in a lot of games. This next week is going to probably be very ugly. Sigh... Morrissey at the Sun-Times just posted a story that we are all asking, "When will the Sox sign their Lester" (as in a big name free agent that can change the culture and get them over the top in the rebuild) As long as Mr. Financial Responsibility (JR) is running the show the answer is probably never...instead more shopping at the bargain aisle or in the dumpster. And suddenly Alonso is back in the lineup and sucking even worse than ever. Edited June 23, 2019 by Lip Man 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GradMc Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) That was a series that could have been swept by the Sox with anything remotely resembling major league starting pitching. Too bad. Edited June 23, 2019 by GradMc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Machado was never coming here. All these elite MLB and NBA free agents know the story of Reinsdorf's whining about paying Jordan. That is forever woven into the fabric of sports history. All these guys do is leverage the Bulls and Sox for better deals elsewhere.

Expand The "hindsight oracles" need to stop with this... It's so easy to sit here now and say this. Give it a rest. Would ya? Christ almighty. Buster Olney reported all along that the White Sox were Harper and Machado's safety net. It was never their first choice and it was never totally out of the equation either. It went down exactly how it was reported it would if other teams came through with superior or equal offers. There is nothing to indicate that Machado and Harper were sitting around thinking about a Bulls contract that went down in the 90's and ruling out a team because of it. Especially if that team would have had the best offer. "This team gave me the best offer, but I don't want their money because they paid a basketball player... but they cried too much about it 30 years ago!" For the love of god with you people.

It's why the Sox have only been to the post season 5 times in almost 40 years and the Bulls haven't as much as sniffed a Finals apperance in almost 20 years since the INHERITED Michael Jordan left.

I liked how he seemed to accept his "demotion" to the pen. I say give him the rest of the season with the Sox and let's see what we've got. Like you said he can be hard to square up.
