Sox @ Washington September 19 Early Gamethread

Recommended Posts

The White Sox perform much better without game threads.

This is the first season MLB teams played all other opponents (29 teams). The White Sox could set the all time MLB record for losing 25 of 29 season series, a record which may never be broken. They need to lose tomorrow to keep their current season series wins at 4 heading into Boston, where they need to be swept.

The White Sox did beat the team (Atlanta) which currently has the most 2023 Season Series wins at 20.

So what you're saying is that we are better than Atlanta?

18th time the Sox took a lead into the 7th inning or later and wound up losing the game.

18.

What is the bigger task for next season....building a starting pitching staff or building a bullpen?

Grifol's at fault.  Gets on the bullpen phone and asks for Mariano and they keep sending Bummer.  Or worse. ?

Anyone know Shaw's contract status? Need him to go at least 135 games next season.

The World Series should be the first series after the All Star Game. Makes as much sense as the current 12 team playoff scheme.

White Sox 2023 World Series Champions!

I'll take one of those shirts please...with Burger being the Series MVP.

There are actually feel good stories of how losing team apparel is distributed to places in need.

In the past, the merchandise has been plentiful. Based on strong sales after the Chicago Bears’s 2007 NFC Championship win, for example, Sports Authority printed more than 15,000 shirts proclaiming a Bears Super Bowl victory well before the game even started. And then the Colts beat the Bears, 29-17.

Great stuff. Somebody is gonna turn him around,  but not without changing his pitching motion.  Prolly not here.

Probably not.  Maybe the Rays could.  At some point you have to realize a player is not good at baseball.  I'd be really impressed with this organization if they get rid of Katz.

Starting pitching always. If you find gems there they can outperform their contracts by a wider margin the way Rodon did when the Sox signed him for $3M.  You scoop up guys like Toussaint and Urena both of whom haven't look terrible and build depth  and if they continue to be inconsistent well maybe now you have a BP arm.
