A .579 clip the rest of the way puts them at 84 wins which might be enough in the Central.....NO I HAVE NOT BEEN DRINKING Of course they will be selling at the deadline so the team won’t be together for 115 games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am somewhat disappointed in Vaughn, but he leads the team in RBIs. I am not giving up on him yet even though he needs to improve. He chased a real bad pitch with the bases loaded.

Just hypothetical scenario of this forum Not an inaccurate picture of the forum but the forum is also not inaccurate in its assessment of the team. It’s a very bad team with no pitching, despite shutting down number 29 KC today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they had back to back series wins like you said earlier but I thought "hey these are professionals" I'll go with what they said over what I thought.

I agree. That's why I was against the tank/rebuild. No guarantees at all in the MLB Draft. Losing to get a top draft pick is not a smart strategy when u have the draft history of the Chicago White Sox. Burger however is tasty.

When you lose 10 in a row in April, something's wrong and we have no reasonable 'evidence' to think this club will ever win 7-10 in a row and get bak to .500. Sox fans are smart. At least the home crowds have stayed supportive and reasonable loud from what i see on mlb.tv game action. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good teams like the Rays are very good at all three. I agree with you the Sox suck at developing, but I also think the Sox are bad at scouting and drafting the right players. The Rays and Dodgers definitely develop their players better than the Sox. However I think it's because they also know what players to draft and bring into their baseball farm system. Remember you can have the greatest coaches in the farm system to develop players like the Rays and Dodgers have, but, "you can't make chicken salad out of chicken sh*t.".

You can play that game all day. If TB wouldn’t have choked in the ninth they would have lost 11 in a row instead of 10. If they were on their ninth or tenth starting pitchers like some other teams things would be a lot worse.
