It’s not all about the offense. Ethan Katz has this pitching staff rolling. Team ERA of 5.14 but 7.2 in the last 8 games. I get that the roster is full of minor league players at best but they are getting worse with every start. I think this staff would be better off without a pitching coach. I still can’t understand how this guy has a job - any job really. He should just be unemployed for the rest of his life.

Now officially on the Spiders pace of 20 wins. Spiders didn't play against plumbers and electricians. Played against horse salesmen and telegraph operators.

Fun fact - Reinsdorf owned them too

PECOTA still has them better than Colorado.
-150 at Caesars +195 for Colorado.

I'd say Rockies are the play. Tougher division. At some point, Pham, Clevinger, Robert and Moncada have to make a difference, right?

100%, Katz should have been launched mid season last year. His pet Giolito isn't even here anymore.


Watching Shewmake steal 3rd without a pitch, then steal home last night was fun.

Firing the hitting and pitching coach will fix everything.

Thanks for the shoutout. Took The Twins also +175.

Anytime they are winning by less than 3 runs, it should be an automatic bet.

It is called the Holmes fade. They talked about that strategy on the radio the other day.

I feel good the Sox will put up goose eggs. I don't care though. It's just a small hate bet.

Benintendi had 3 pitches in the exact same spot and couldn't get the bat on any of them. Sooooo bad.

I liked Vaughn looking at a belt high fastball over the heart of the plate for strike 3.

Hahn was by no means great. But if he had the ability to spend like a major market team, I suspect the Sox would be competitive more times than not. When you trade a guy like Cease because you know you cannot pay him, you have no shot at consistent success.

"The White Sox become the first team since the 1897 Scranton Buffaloes to (insert mind numbingly bad stat here)"

JERRY runs a clown show, but when Hahn did spend, he spent poorly. Grandal, Benintendi, Leury, Joe Kelly...I could go on and on. These are all guys signed/extended on his watch who have absolutely sucked. While I firmly believe that Jerry/Kenny lay out an outline as to how the club will spend, its up to the GM to operate within those confines. More money would help, but what money the Sox have spent has essentially been wasted over the last 10+ years.

Jerry's teams- Sox and the Bulls- are not legitimate organizations and nothing will change until he dies. And as morbid or mean as it may sound, I hope that's tomorrow.

Would need to go from current .120 winning % to .430 the rest of the way to lose just 100 games.
