Tony doesn't even realize they're sleeping, is the problem... probably because he's sleeping himself. This team is lifeless, but they portray themselves with a veil of arrogance that is so off putting when you're not productive and playing like high school kids.

This team went from a pretty likable bunch under Renteria to unwatchable crap "ready to turn it on at any time" under LaRussa.

Moncada could care less about anything but collecting a check and chasing tail. 

People are going to rip LaRussa for sitting him every 3-4 games.  I mean the guy carries himself like he truly doesn't want to be out there.

You absolutely can't do that.

You need to try a new hitting coach or manager before tearing the core of the team apart.

Moncada probably does desperately need a change of scenery...but we have to get a similar talent back somehow.

I don't even think Moncada is tradeable with his contract. They're stuck with him for the next two seasons. 

I really thought that 2019 was a breakout season for him, while it turns out it was just a career year. Every other season he's been roughly the same guy. 

There was this one guy on another board that insisted that Moncada sucked for years. I defended him every time. I should learn my lesson and not get overly attached to players on my favorite team ever.

Yeah, I get that Ricky had to go because you can't hyperventilate on the bench in the playoffs and expect the players to be calm, but that team played their asses off every single day. They constantly came back in games. They had a lot of fun.

This team honestly looks like they're going through the motions and that they feel the division was there's and they didn't even have to work for it.

That damn winning streak got me excited again after I'd given up on the Sox. Mentally I had checked out. If they lose today it's time to check out until they somehow reach 10 over .500.

Sox brass have to be worried about the tank/rebuild right now. Can't imagine this unit winning anything of note right now. Scary. I guess if Tim, Eloy, Robert, Grandal, Moncada, Abreu are healthy at the same time and get hot at the same time excellence is still possible.

Despite the collapse that 2020 season was a lot of fun.

We also miss Mercedes Hamilton Goodwin the sparks off the bench last year.

Oh he's absolutely tradeable. Whether the White Sox would like the return is less certain.

1000% agree there Ray....and I know you will appreciate that type of math.
