Timmy U Posted 23 hours ago Share Posted 23 hours ago If you simulated a 162 game season of just the Sox vs. the Angels, would baseball as we know it simply cease to exist. One of these two is the worst team I have every seen and it is both of them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman delivers Posted 23 hours ago Share Posted 23 hours ago (edited) The Angels are infuriatingly bad/inept 😆 Cannot believe they haven’t lost 110+ games. Edited 23 hours ago by Milkman delivers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago (edited) Well we know Sosa and Lee and Beni give Getz three less spots to worry about this offseason. They are guaranteed starters next year. Are they good nuff to help the Sox start winning some series? Lee will start the season as a much better player than this year's catcher, Maldy. And Sosa appears hitterish. Also Beni appears to be the face of the new Sox. He actually is now an acceptable leadoff hitter. Edited 21 hours ago by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a 625 ops with bottom quintile defense is the answer on the infield the team is doomed. Because Vargas and Baldwin all profile similarly, Ramos for now, and Montgomery still a work in progress. Benintendi has to repeat this the first half of next season. Then maybe they can trade him and only have to send $10-20 million along with his contract instead of 50%. But as a DH and not average LF, he has fairly limited attractiveness. Being LH helps a bit but those defensive metrics aren’t close to good.

dohnut Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago Had to work and missed the game (I get to see attempt #3 tomorrow though :). Were the Sox good, or were the Angels just worse? I caught a bit on GameDay and assumed the boys were just salty about being booed for winning on Tuesday and decided to actually try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming Sheets is gone and Vaughn is likely gone. Next year's team projects as offensively inept as this year's cause Nicky will be starting, too.

greg775 Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago The weird thing about roster building is last year the front office had no plan. All the minor leaguers of note weren't deemed ready and the Sox went and acquired three non big leaguers in DeJong, Nicky and Maldy. We knew if Vaughn and Sheets didn't hit for bleep then that's five automatic outs. The pitching staff was atrocious. It was a team built to lose 120 games. So how are they gonna put a team on the field any better than that next April. How they can sell even 100 season tickets would be anybody's guess. The team's only hope of winning would be if the rookies Caufield mentioned are on fire. How Stoney is signing up to broadcast that awful team is beyond me.

caulfield12 Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago Before the game, Luis Robert Jr. talked about his statistical drop off this season and tied those struggles directly into that of the team as a true leader and top-flight level player would and should do. Robert followed up those comments with two doubles, contributing to the postgame joy in the clubhouse. A throng of media members, probably as big as any group covering the White Sox this season since Opening Day, walked in to find players joking and "Everybody Dance Now," the 1990 hit from C+C Music Factory, blaring. Anyone who came to see history made by the White Sox will have to wait, with the White Sox winning their fourth straight at home and second straight series at home. “Wait one more day,” Benintendi said with a smile. “Maybe.” “If you start the year off great early and terrible at the end, it kind of leaves a sour taste in your mouth,” Martin said. “I think that's exactly what we're trying to do is put some good games together and we're trying to have some fun and win some games and go to Detroit and try to spoil some games for them.” As for that Detroit series … the White Sox moved Chris Flexen to Thursday’s home finale and ace Garrett Crochet to Friday in Detroit. The American League Central rivalries are going strong, even in the face of 121 losses. “They’re gonna be competing for a playoff spot,” Sizemore said. “We wanna throw our best guy up against this team that’s fighting for a playoff spot.

The fans who show up should give the players a break, most of them are minor leaguers who have been rushed to the big club, the others just aren’t good major leaguers, any wrath shown should be directed at the architects of this disaster, Reinsdorf and Getz.

I remember being at a game in the mid 1980s where Dave Steib of the Blue Jays was pitching a no hitter against the Sox at Comiskey. As we got through the 7th and 8th innings, the fans slowly switched over and were cheering each strike and out against the Sox. We got to the 9th, no hitter in tact trailing 6-0, and Rudy Law hit a homer leading off. The fans first booed, and then finally got quiet. Bryan Little came up next and homered as well. There were a few boos, but mostly applause. Then Harold went deep, and the place was all back to Sox fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
