Tomtom Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 I guess it’s better to get swept by the best team in baseball as opposed to the Twins, who are in the process of getting swept by one of the worst (Washington). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 When they start talking about it’s still early, we believe in this team crap, just remember, under JRs ownership, 4 other teams started the season 7-15. 1986, LaRussa got fired, came back to haunt us all. 1997, Terry Bevington last season. 2001, Big Hurt got inured, but they did ultimately win 83 that year, and 2018 when the lost 100. So as silly as it sounds, the playoffs are most likely already out of the question. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOFHurt35 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) I'm still waiting for Vaughn to make me forget about Jose Abreu, Paul Konerko, Frank Thomas. I don't see anything special in him.

Dick Allen Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 According to Gordo, the Sox are trying to tie this game up. Probably so they can get walked off again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really think the entire team fed off Liam's emotions, dominance/competitive desire. Lopez shakiness undermining the whole team... not that it should affect players but psychology or mindset of a team is critical. Everyone also knows Giolito's and TA7's days with the team are numbered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatballs are the fans for believing every year that one of the rookies will actually hit the ground running with a seamless transition to the big leagues. Saint Louis Cardinals fans say hi. Year - Round Drafted Player (IS = International Signing) (Age - Round Drafted - Rookie Season bWar) 2022 - (7) Brendon Donovan (25 - 4.2) 2021 - (1) Dylan Carlson (22 - 3.1) 2021 - (IS) Edmundo Sosa (25 - 3.1) 2020 - Owner cancelled season 2019 - (6) Tommy Edman (24 - 3.9) 2018 - (3) Harrison Bader (24 - 3.4) 2018 - (1) Jack Flaherty (22 - 3.2) 2017 - (38) Paul DeJong (23 - 2.7) Cardinal rookies each season exceed the production of nearly every White Sox veteran on an annual basis. This is what happens when you have quality drafting in player development as a bedrock to your pipeline. And you pay these players $700k, not the $10M plus Hahn pays for shitty DHs (Dunn, LaRoche, Encarnacion) and Corner OFers (Benintendi, Cabrera, Eaton 2.0, Pollock). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wegner Posted April 23, 2023 Author Share Posted April 23, 2023 How come when you say Grinders with the Rays you mean good baseball players and when you say Grinders with the Sox it means players that suck but maybe can play multiple positions poorly??

Carlos Martinez Jr. had quite a solid run there after leaving Sox with a plethora of injuries. Rangel Ravelo even contributed lol. Jordan Walker now looks awesome. McEwing must be elated to return to Cardinals' Nation. Losing Luis Robert Jr. to the Sox and the Oscar Taveras tragedy has hardly derailed that franchise.
