This dickhead puts the team in a hole and then can’t even just eat innings.

We do not have reliable pitching in any form. There’s no way to fix that without giving away major pieces from the farm. Sell, sell, sell.

Screwed up the entire weekend against a pretty good team.

Nice grab by Esock

Oh and since I’m bitching, might as well be about everything who came up with these Hall of Fame caps? Supposed to be a logo/hat from the team’s history. I don’t ever remember them ever having anything with a Texas outline on it.

Who at the farm will save us?

Xavier Neyens is good. Ullola and Pecko can play. Kevin Alvarez could be special in a few years.


That's all I've got.


Need to restock.

There’s some lower level pitching that’s putting up very impressive K/9 numbers with good stuff that are going to be interesting to follow.

Definitely need to hit on some of these position players in this draft and add some impact bats if they sell. Despite how finicky the pitching has been this year I still trust that part of the org

Apparently there is a 17 year old SS named Fermin or something in the Dominican academy that’s looking the part. But again just so far away

Whatever it looks like, hopefully the next iteration of the Houston Astros is more athletic on the basepaths and they value 90 feet on defense. So many stolen bases

Ethan Frey is looking solid. We shouldn’t part with anyone from the last few drafts.

Albert.. looks great in Dominican play.

1.006 OPS, 37/26 BB/K ratio... lots of promise.

Greetings DAT. I don't know how many years it has been since my club has fielded a team better than yours entering a series. Probably at least 20.

That had me scratching my head, too. Did you have an alternate cap with that during the brick red era? Maybe it was a spring training cap.

Our HOF retro cap is a lame "C" from the early 20th century. Given the eclectic history of Sox uniforms, I expected better. Hell, we could've just done the '59 Go-Go Sox caps again and they would've matched these ghastly City Connect unis.

7 free bases tonight thru 3+. White Sox have a very impressive approach but a lot of these have been uncompetitive

It may be 20 in the other direction the way things are looking

Upon further review, I think that’s what it is. Why they would do that I have no idea.

4 HBP and 3 BB in 4 IP. Embarrassing.

We haven't done enough with that, though. Stranding baserunners has been a weakness this season. And our bullpen gives me heart palpitations.

We were overachieving early in the season, but now we're actually a game under on xW/L.

White Sox are the much better team, but it’s so frustrating watching the Astros let teams not work hard to apply pressure and score enough runs to win a game.

8 free bases and a wild pitch to score a run. It’s college level bad


Doesn’t matter because Martin is really tough and dealing, it just makes for an awful watch

Out on Wade now too. He sucks. Can’t hit and is a liability in the OF

Agreed. That’s like the third ball this week he’s not been able to get to that was playable. Not saying the catches were easy, but a decent OF makes them.

I think the wind might be an issue tonight. That ball hit the wall 4 ft to his right.

I thought spence shoulda had a shot at the one earlier. He’s supposed to be really fast

Bases loaded. No outs. Trailing 5-0. Sounds like a triple play scenario

Alright got that one run back Lamont.

Nice AB’s this inning. Just so slow on the bases and lack of slug outside Yord it’s one base at a time.

Have a moment here C-Walk
