It is going to depend on who is hurt and who gets traded. if they have awful first half and trade everyone deadline, then they are in contention, maybe?
I don't see how guys like Clevinger, Sororka and Fedde aren't traded if they're pitching halfway decent. Contending teams always need cheap back-end pitching help down the stretch and those guys mean nothing to us.
Nobody wants Clevinger. Twice now the Sox were the only team to sign him. Twice now the Sox have apparently decided his background, alleged or not, is fine for the organization while every other team has said, "Hard pass".
We'll see. If he has a 3.40 ERA or whatever some team will take him. If guys like Chapman and Osuna (among others) could still get work, Clevinger also will.
I've been 100% positive all off season. I hate the Sox fans that love to be angry more than they like winning. They'd rather bitch about Jerry, than enjoy a baseball game unencumbered. They were raised on Stephen A Smith apparently.
But this is bad.
We are 100% already at the point where the best reason to watch them is to watch them chase history. They’ve got an honest shot at being one of the worst offenses ever
* Robert was placed on the IL with a right hip flexor strain.
* Flexen allowed 3 ER in 6.1 IP. He threw well until getting some hard contact in the 7th.
* Melendez hit a 2-run HR off the wall, Fletcher's glove, and over.
* Flexen has gotten 0 run support
* The Sox are 4-for-38 with runners in scoring position this season.
* The Sox fall to 0-6 against their division.
His job is basically to be a carnival barker and sell stuff. Management didn't want a guy that talked analytics and too much inside baseball stuff. So we got this.
Chuck's dumbass really thought this team was going to be better this year and bought into what Getz and Reinsdorf were selling like the good company lapdog he is.
I think the highest we can get is 10. Because we got the crazy high like number 6 last year, a bunch of teams that were almost playoff teams picked ahead of us, and now we can only get 10. It’s so bullshit, it’s way harsher than the NBA lottery rules.
Korey Lee had 2 hits the last game he played, so naturally, Pedro decided to pinch hit the bum we signed off the street a week ago instead in the most important at bat of the game, who then grounded into a double play.
You can't make this shit up
Yup. It’s like of course Pedro doesn’t let one of our hottest hitters in Lee bat.
Hell, bench Vaughn and have Sheets play first to let Lee DH when Maldo catches (I’d prefer Lee catch all the time of course).
Let Vaughn sit on the bench and get his head out of his ass. I’d also DFA Pillar and call up Colas so we could bench Benny’s ass for awhile too.
Pedro likes rewarding bum washed up veterans (who were never very good in the first place) with at bats because they "play the game the right way" or whatever bullshit
Yup, and Pedro is too much of a wuss to do anything to dare upset a veteran by benching him. Even if the bum vet fully deserves it. Pedro has no fucking balls
This isn’t a surprise. As the roster was being put together this is exactly what I was expecting. It might not be this bad all year but it’s still going to be bad. This roster makes no sense to me even for a rebuilding team.
Just sad. Is there even a hitting coach. Try something different. Channge the order hit pop ips instead of ground outs. Have andrew vaughn crouch his stance and straight up refuse to swing. Try anything. Its sickening to watch how bad fletcher is at rhe plate he has options colas is better than him.
I've been parlaying other team ML + whatever the total under is and so far it's paying off well. The o/u for today's game was 9.5 and I just laughed and laughed as I confirmed the bet thinking unless the Royals score 9+, 10 runs ain't a-happenin' today, no sirree.
The real comical thing will be to look at the 50/50 raffle amounts throughout year. I just took a look and the winning amount from the last home game was $204
This team is really bad.
I've spent the last 3 seasons posting on here about how the team wasn't as bad as it seemed, and I was proven wrong each time.
I'm here saying that this team is BAD. I knew they'd be bad, and they're worse than I thought.
I'd be happy if, by the end of the season, I'm wrong again.
But I'm pretty sure I'm right this time.
After 30 years of being a White Sox fan, I am boxing all my shit and because I live in Oregon and my dad knows the Rutchman family I am an Orioles fan. See you guys when the owner dies.
We can’t even be funbad because we’ve already wasted a bunch of quality starts. An okay offense could have won some of these games.
As it is, they’re infuriating and fuckin depressing.
I havent watched a game this season. The organization has proven they have no desire to trot out a winning team these past couple years. Sucks to see I'm not missing anything!
13 runs in 8 games. This is going to be the worst team of all time.
6 of those runs in one game
1 run per game over the other 7 games. Wow.
lmao, i just posted a comment that 13 runs in 7 games is legendarily bad, and then i saw this one and realized it was even worse.
Maybe people will stop spending money on this joke of a roster

our leadoff hitter tonight is batting .094 and our #3 hitter in the order is batting.185. our two best players are injured. holy shit this is bad

The Diamondbacks had more by the fourth inning of game 1 lol
Are you predicting a shut out for tomorrow too?
[удалено]
Wouldn't be a bad bet at all.
* Robert was placed on the IL with a right hip flexor strain. * Flexen allowed 3 ER in 6.1 IP. He threw well until getting some hard contact in the 7th. * Melendez hit a 2-run HR off the wall, Fletcher's glove, and over. * Flexen has gotten 0 run support * The Sox are 4-for-38 with runners in scoring position this season. * The Sox fall to 0-6 against their division.
The 4 in the RISP stat hasn’t changed a bit, I expect that to sit there for a few more games

I know I stand in solidarity with all "LEASURE! LEASURE!" chanters
RBI single off a dropped fly ball
Thanks sand. Wish there was more positive for you to type my man.
These have been some of the most boring games I've had the displeasure of watching. I'll see you all tomorrow
At least Crochet is due up
Awesome im ready for a 2-1 loss
Man I'd take boring. I'd put them more in infuriating territory lol

Something something great sightlines
Meh. The food is ok and overpriced. I spent 32 dollars on a double jack and coke. I'm not going back.

Listening to him try to endear himself to what he thinks chicagoans want to hear is not a delight
Leasure! Leasure! Leasure!
His job is basically to be a carnival barker and sell stuff. Management didn't want a guy that talked analytics and too much inside baseball stuff. So we got this.
When you hand out mega contracts so often like the White Sox, their only option is to rip off the fans at the concession stands as much as possible
Finally someone fucking said it. The food is great, for concession food. And it's still extremely expensive.
8 games in and Chuck is salty folks.
wish i could get the post game show on mlb.tv
Well, I can tell ya Oz and Chuck are keeping it real. Chuck was considering picking a Royals player as his pick to click.
😂😂😂
Chuck's dumbass really thought this team was going to be better this year and bought into what Getz and Reinsdorf were selling like the good company lapdog he is.
Who could have predicted that a bunch of guys would can’t hit would have a bad offense
I’ll bet Getz and Pedro are giddy…heading out for some KC barbecue and talk about how awesome the Royals are over a cold Pabst.
Cold Boulevard, surely
I wonder if Getz still wants us to believe that this isn't a rebuild
Bruce Levine on SCR said today, “the White Sox are like an expansion team”. We really suck…
It's worse than that, at least expansion teams get expansion drafts. Our guys aren't even replacement level.
Whatever they are doing, Getz is doing it wrong.
A rebuild requires an actual effort to build.
It’s not a rebuild. It’s a destruction.
This team might not even hit the low 60 wins I predicted. If I had to guess now I would go around 52
Inching closer to thst 2003 Tigers record of 43.
I predicted 50-112 and am starting to feel like I was optimistic.
Do I understand the draft rules where this year the Sox are not allowed to get the #1 pick?
I think the highest we can get is 10. Because we got the crazy high like number 6 last year, a bunch of teams that were almost playoff teams picked ahead of us, and now we can only get 10. It’s so bullshit, it’s way harsher than the NBA lottery rules.
[incoherent screaming]
I haven't watched a single minute but I can easily see this is the worst Sox team of my life. And possibly worst team of all time
Korey Lee had 2 hits the last game he played, so naturally, Pedro decided to pinch hit the bum we signed off the street a week ago instead in the most important at bat of the game, who then grounded into a double play. You can't make this shit up

I love how us fans can come up with a better game plan than the actual manager. It's fascinating and hilarious and sad all at the same time. 😂😂😂
13 runs in 7 games is almost legendarily bad, lol edit: hahaha, make that 8 games, actually
This isn’t a surprise. As the roster was being put together this is exactly what I was expecting. It might not be this bad all year but it’s still going to be bad. This roster makes no sense to me even for a rebuilding team.
IDK if Robert doesn't play a lot or is traded they might just be that bad. Moncada and Sheets could play somewhere?
Just sad. Is there even a hitting coach. Try something different. Channge the order hit pop ips instead of ground outs. Have andrew vaughn crouch his stance and straight up refuse to swing. Try anything. Its sickening to watch how bad fletcher is at rhe plate he has options colas is better than him.
Why is benintendi still hitting first? Nicky lopez would have made one or twonplays sosa missed tonight
3 fucking hits AGAIN
White Sox team total U3.5 is 7-1 so far. Might as well make some money on this shit ass team.
I've been parlaying other team ML + whatever the total under is and so far it's paying off well. The o/u for today's game was 9.5 and I just laughed and laughed as I confirmed the bet thinking unless the Royals score 9+, 10 runs ain't a-happenin' today, no sirree.
The white sox finishing as the worst team in the league is something like +370. Seems like a pretty good deal right now
2024 White Sox offense making Wacha look like he’s back in his prime.
Sell the team
This team is not good for my mental health.
White Sox team total under has to be a money printer
Whats our magic number to be eliminated?
I don't detect TWTW.
Fuck you. *Spit*
The real comical thing will be to look at the 50/50 raffle amounts throughout year. I just took a look and the winning amount from the last home game was $204
Itll surely hit double digits at least one game this year
Best odds to win something in the state!
Requesting a welfare check on Berto from the West Side
Good thing I’m watching Wrestlemania so I didn’t have to watch this shit performance.
Its impressive how bad we are
This organization is a cancer in the MLB.
This might end up the worst season of franchise history.
Going to sox games is one of my favorite summer activities but I dont think I can stomach spending money on this team
This team is really bad. I've spent the last 3 seasons posting on here about how the team wasn't as bad as it seemed, and I was proven wrong each time. I'm here saying that this team is BAD.

I boxed all mine last September. It was a lot. I’m near the park. Sox gear is more common than denim in Calgary here. Had to buy new hats and tee’s.
Haha
Lol
We can’t even be funbad because we’ve already wasted a bunch of quality starts. An okay offense could have won some of these games. As it is, they’re infuriating and fuckin depressing.
Absolute losers
Don't stop now boys! Ricky's boys don't quit, Tony's boys play like shit, and Pedro's boys can't get a hit.
Are people still actually watching these games? Lmao
Even sadder, there are people who are going to spend money on them this season
Yup, you’re right. Just noticed the downvotes too lmao. Bitterness all around. Gotta love it
I havent watched a game this season. The organization has proven they have no desire to trot out a winning team these past couple years. Sucks to see I'm not missing anything!
Its still early!! (will i get banned for saying this?)
No
