But the triple was just as good as a second home run. Unconfirmed, may have caught a ball in his hat the next game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of odd that most of the posters here spend all day shitting on everything White Sox related, from players to coaches to people in the front office to people in administrative roles to vendors.

TaylorStSox Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 1 hour ago, caulfield12 said: 4-4 with a 4.48 ERA from Lynn is much better than 2023 with the Sox. Cease was very much NOT good last season. Graveman and Kelly were expensive, high leverage relievers. Hardly the anonymous guys of this season. Bummer, also much much better, for example. There are many more that improve when departing the White Sox than other way around. Think of Pollock, Kimbrel and Benintendi. Giolito’s one of the few that left and got worse, then hurt. These are just a list of terrible examples. Lance Lynn sucks and even in Cease's one not so great season, he was still very good for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has not even played 100 games the other 3 seasons (including this year where he almost certainly won't). And lol at $20m per WAR in free agency. This is overrated when it comes to certain players. Sure didn't stop Aaron Judge or Gio Stanton from betting paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything more than 3 years becomes baseball hell, which is ths Pittsburgh Pirates for last 30 years. The Sox have enough minor league talent with this current reset, that if the owner finally get his head out his ass and spends in free agency, the contending window re-opens in 2026/2027. I agree and he spent in free agency last time. JR’s problem is that he is overly loyal to non-performers. Edited July 10 by GreenSox 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestEddy Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 2 hours ago, HOFHurt35 said: OK, then we're officially the Pittsburgh Pirates and there is no point to following this team until Reinsdsorf sells or dies. We're not. JR does spend, Hahn just spent unwisely in the recent past. Fangraphs has the White Sox with a top ten farm system, and we're only going to add to it this draft, TDL and off-season. There's a group here who gets their jollies ganging up on anybody positive, and shouts nonsense at them. The White Sox are drafting well, we are developing hitters and pitchers, and JR will spend when we have a reason to. No, we won't be grabbing the top player on the market for 10/$400m, but we'll see if Chris Getz is any better at FA evaluation when the time comes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hitters the White Sox drafted and developed on the roster today are Danny Mendick, Gavin Sheets, and Andrew Vaughn. If that is doing well, it explains a lot. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
