The Dodgers sat him in the playoffs because he is a DH/1B, not a ML catcher beyond pitch framing. The Dodgers and Brewers said hard pass once their contracts were done. I don't recall a worse starting catcher in the decades I've followed the White Sox, let alone the "World's Richest White Sox". well until Benintendi was signed, another huge unforced error. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 This upcoming offseason, we're going to be able to look back at this series as the one that put the Sox in the ground. Its over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Cease Anderson Eloy Benintendi and Hendriks have lost about $250-300 million in value/surplus value in the last 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to choose either Zavala or Perez and then go out and sign an Austin Hedges type just to hold the pitching staff together next year.

brijames1957 Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 I watch very few games anymore. Decided to watch today. This team is absolute garbage. We aren't even in to June yet and they are totally dead in the water. If it wasn't for KC this is a last place team. And hey, they still might be. As we all know the whole thing has to be burned down. And that can't happen until JR and RH are gone. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 It's not just Cease. So far in the series, Sox have walked 26 guys and have walked 5 times themselves. There's not enough talent in the world to overcome that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T R U Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 We are so fucked. This team is bad, the farm system is bad, and the asserts we do have to trade are losing value rapidly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 When Cease got his mechanics right again, he was overpowering. Sucks that it took a grand slam to get him on track. Now they've got to cover 4 innings of garbage time and slink back to Chi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, it worked in 2019 and 2020 with McCann, McGwire and Collins would have been fine since. Zavala can't hit, but he can manage a game and staff.

Harry Chappas Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 The pitching is not going to overcome the inability of the offense to score. They will score 6 or 7 runs in a game maybe once a week. If one pitcher is off on a given day like Kelly yesterday they lose. Take the 10 game streak out and they are still below. 500. They lost the division in April. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Sox have thrown 128 pitches through 5. Efficiency. Sad when you have 4/5 of your rotation throw in a weekend and the only one who looks good is Schoenle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
