MLB 2024 Season

[WhiteTrash]

The A's are the AL's second-worst team ... but they are 19 1/2 games ahead of the White Sox.

The fact that no one has lost their job lends credibility to the widespread belief that JR wants this (worst team ever) to happen.

[Jockey]

Complete games are so cool.  I hate the stuff new baseball has taken away from us.  I was at the Paul Skenes at Miller Park last month.  I as a Brewers fan was upset they took him out.  I wanted to see him chase history.  We're protecting these guys as much as ever and we're not seeing a marked difference in injury prevention.

They are protecting them because of the emphasis on spin. The higher the spin rate - the more torque on elbows.

I wish he would just die already

Quit waffling, take a stand, tell us how you really feel, stop sugar coating your position, why make us read between the lines?

Gonna need a mid to late inning comeback to avoid 21

As expected, the comeback never came.

21

21

It is a small, but real, chance the could end up 100 games below .500.

I'm as joyless as he is. But when you have contempt for your players, your fans, and the city your two teams play in, maybe people are gonna pine for your demise as you crack 90.

Why on earth is the White Sox TV play-by-play guy getting in a fight with the largest sports radio station in town? Of all the bad things to happen to the Sox this year, trading Jason Benetti for this yokel is near the top of the list.

[PGsHeroes32]

Dbacks have transformed into the 2023 playoff Dbacks.

On a rampage up the standings right now.

Marte becoming a legit MVP challenger to Ohtani.

And this is with Carroll still having a faint pulse at best

I'd say it takes a well planned and well executed strategy to completely destroy your reputation after 7 championships. This is not simply bad luck.

He's playing to an audience of one.

Meh. The best announcer can't do anything for what may be the worst team ever assembled just as the worst announcer can't detract much from a world Champion. There are 20 of the 25 players, all the coaches, the front office and the owner who all rate as worse things for the franchise than any announcer could ever be.

That's not what I said but OK.

[Dish]

I don't know if I can share the story publicly, but I have a pretty good Jon Schriffin story that I'd love to share that I witnessed in person back in June in Detroit.

[Not all scoop users are created equal apparently]

Schriffin is pandering to the guy who hates the media, Jerry.

[PGsHeroes32]

A's are still the disaster we all know and love

Of course they allow the streak to end

[MU82]

Alas, nothing good lasts forever.

Still time for the White Sox to break the record this season, though!

Hard to see 10 more wins this year and another double digit losing streak is very likely.

Maybe winning a game will piss off JR so much he actually fires someone.

EDIT: I just realized the Sox Manager, Pedro Grifol, salary would make him the 72nd highest paid coach in D1 basketball. JR is not going to fire him.

Don't cry cause it's over, smile because it happened.

[lawdog77]

Aroldis Capman throws really fast

[WhiteTrash]

The White Sox fired Pedro Grifol. He was not a strong hire to begin with, every other MLB would have fired him last year and there was not logical reason not to fire him, but in typical Sox fashion there is no reason to fire him at this point either.

Looking forward to their next underwhelming hire this offseason

Why would a promising up-and-comer want to tie their future to that organization right now?

They wouldn't. I wasn't being serious.

Since Ozzie, it's been Ventura, Renteria, La Russa, and then Grifol. I don't even bother trying to understand this org anymore, it's brutal.
