  1. Maybe Cora is trying to get Breslow fired. “I’m going to put s***** defenses on the field, make questionable bullpen moves, and no more stolen bases until they give me a CBO I like.”
  2. The Sox are basically the midpoint for OBP. 15th in MLB. 8th in the AL. They're just flat out not running any more…
  3. The removal of the stolen base is a big deal. No idea why they just aren’t running. Small point, but I believe you meant “longball”, not “largeball”. No one says largeball…
  4. No, he should not. Unless you can somehow rationalize how flipping Story and Mayer in the infield constitutes “cheating”…
  5. I could watch Cora go. I’ve been souring on him more since I learned how deeply involved he was in the Houston cheating scandal, and his handling of Devers last year just felt non-managerial. He can go…
  6. For the last time, “K-Pop Demon Hunters” is NOT a love story…
  7. I don’t see the point in attacking ownership. It’s so much easier to get a worse owner than a better one. Henry could spend more, but he’s a far cry from Carl Pohlad, and our big drop in the payroll rankings was a brief “plummet” out of the top ten to number 11. I don’t consider this unsurvivable…
  8. I don’t by the s***** roster thing. We’re playing the Twins. A team that unloaded Danny Coulombe, Griffins Jax, Jhoan Duran, Brock Stewart, Louis Varland, Ty France, Harrison Bader, Willi Castro, Chris Paddock, and Carlos Correa in one weekend ladt year, and in return they got Mick Abel, Taj Bradley and James Outman and a slew of players still in the minors. Their big offseason additions were Josh Bell, Victor Caratini and Tristan Gray (I know.) Oh and they lost Pablo López for the year. Do the Twins have a good roster? Have you seen it ? But they have a good W-L record and are second in the AL in runs scored. After winning 70 games a year ago. Look around MLB. The Sox roster is nowhere near as bad as many seem to think. Their performance has been, however…
  9. The Twins lit up Skubal and Framber on consecutive night last week…
  10. The Sox starting pitching is coming around. The bullpen is Whitlock and Chapman and a pile of crap, man…
  11. Minnesota is second in the AL in runs scored, trailing only MLB leader Houston…
  12. Crochet is a unique case. He was drafted in June, 2020 and debuted for the White Sox in September, 2020. In between those date, he did not play minor league ball because, well, there was no minor league ball in 2020. Did this hurt his development? No idea. But he’s not a good example to compare to Tolle since it’s already too late for Tolle to skip the minors…
  13. Neither of us can know if they were to blame for that. They did the same thing with Sale. Was it their fault he needed TJS nine years later? COVID was a bigger factor in Crochet’s lack of minor league development…
  14. So this is solving the lack of high leverage arms in the bullpen?
  15. Then why was he added to the 40 man and called up last year?
  16. The White Sox didnt develop Crochet. They drafted him in June, 2020 and he was in MLB by that September…
  17. To be fair, the guy that posted it lives in Mexico City. Maybe he was thinking about Cruz Azul games?
  18. MLB has some weird rule about trades that involve time machines….
  19. For starters, both sides have to agree on terms…
  20. We traded Verdugo for Weissert and part of Sonny Gray. All we got from Betts is a backup catcher. So I see your point…
  21. So you’re saying we need. more Chengs? Possibly up to six? Thats a tall order …
