GradMc Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 A team thisclose should have been far more aggressive at the trade deadline than they were. Imagine the Sox with Bryant and Votto. Not gonna happen with this ownership. The path to the World Series is going through the East. The Sox had to be constructed to deal with that reality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing they had three games against the Cubs. Fans are assuming the the division is won. I wouldn't assume that just yet. The division is won. It's not really a question. I get that White SOx fans are irrationally negative due to the past, but this take is one of the most comical by far. The White Sox are 19 games over 500 while the next best in the division is 2 games under. No one else in the division has a positive run differential, the closest is -34. The AL Central is full of bad teams. The White Sox are not anywhere near a bad team. They are just getting healthy too, so this take and concern is just terrible.

Kimbrel was more expensive than Bryant. The problem is Hahn and company have a hard on for big name relievers and think it's wise to invest heavily there.

It's like when Jason kept saying he was still concerned with the Twins while they were 97 games under 500, with the worst bullpen in baseball and no starting pitching. The Indians have given up. Honestly, even though it's nice to have wrapped things up this early part of me is bummed because none of the games really matter which takes away some excitement. This series was a lot of fun because there was intensity to them, but there won't be many series with that intensity. When Grandal gets back the lineup gets way more complete and even more dangerous. The key is getting hot near the end of the season, not now. Go through your cold stretch now if you want to; every team has them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Sox really need at least 3 out of 4 vs Oakland, probably need to sweep to be in a good position to win the division. Cleveland might get to .500 some day. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The division probably is won, but I never take anything for granted. This is baseball and anything weird can happen. When they actually clinch, I'll relax. Yes, the AL Central is full of bad teams. But this next week and a half, the Sox will not be playing bad teams. There is nothing irrational about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
