I'll have to check out that book--which one was it? They won 110 games or something....they were flying high.

Renteria with fire and passion tossed for arguing balls and strikes.

Holy crap that ball was almost a foot outside. :lol:

Maybe this will fire 'em up.

MLB Network said this is the Sox worst start since 1947.

I'm not sure wth is happening. I thought this is that year where they make strides like in winning.

I thought this would be like the 1990 white sox. Maybe not win 94 wins but something really positive to build for the next 3-4 years.

It’s not a consistent offense. They’ll hit in bunches but not nearly enough to outscore the pathetic pitching staff.

The vast majority of their good young talent is still in the minors. They are trotting out some very bad starting pitching. I'll admit I thought they would play better than this, but you can't judge the rebuild on one month of crappy baseball.

I fucking the hate the White Sox. But if I was a fan, I would be excited about their future. As a non-fan, I am still excited to see what they can do, and I continue to dream that both Chicago teams are great at the same time, so we can have an epic fall around these parts.

Boy were Farmer and DJ pissed on the radio in the first inning with the base running gaffe. I have never heard DJ so critical of the team.

what kind of horrible music are the sox playing at the stadium nowadays? Nancy would have had fun with the Palka Polka.

That is a god awful 4-9 in the lineup (possibly excepting Tim Anderson)

Regarding this Palka cat;
Quote:
CHICAGO -- White Sox outfielder Avisail Garcia was placed on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday with a strained right hamstring he sustained while running to first during the second inning of the White Sox 10-4 victory over the Mariners on Monday.

Manager Rick Renteria hopes his right fielder won't be out of action for an extended period.

"Looking at it, it's considered mild to moderate," Renteria said. "So depending on how quickly he's able to heal and the exercises they do to put him back on track, we're hoping it's not a long, extended DL stint.

"I don't see it that way. But we'll see where it's at in a few days after he's calmed it down and they're doing what they need to do with it."

Garcia, 26, came up lame as he was running out a grounder Monday and then tumbled over first base. He was helped off the field by head athletic trainer Herm Schneider and assistant athletic trainer Brian Ball. Garcia is hitting .233 with one home run, four RBIs and five runs scored this season, coming off an All-Star campaign in 2017.

Daniel Palka, 26, was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte to take Garcia's place. Palka is Chicago's No. 30 prospect according to MLB Pipeline, and the left-handed slugger should get a chance to show a little bit of his potential as part of the White Sox rebuild.

"My game is pretty obvious to most," said Palka, who was batting .286 with three doubles, three home runs, seven RBIs and 11 runs scored in 17 games for Charlotte this season. "It's going to be my bat. Come out Day 1 in whatever role there is, whatever role needs to be filled, just be consistent in that role."

"We'll try to take advantage of what he brings to the table," Renteria said. "We also want to find out what he's going to be able to do here. He had a nice showing in the spring. Obviously comes with a lot of power, and maybe we can take advantage of that a little bit."

Palka, who will wear No. 18, was claimed off of waivers from the Twins on Nov. 4, 2017. He has no previous Major League time.

Moncada likes even modest heat I see

I'm tired of Zunino though.

Timmy made a great play deep in the hole. Jump throw from short leftfield and missed the guy by half a step.

A spectacular miss. Seems appropriate.

He has been playing great defense this week. All he needs is the flashy tag.

How can it be a great play if the guy was safe? That's like saying "great swing" on a strikeout.

Also;
Errors Committed
1. Baez • CHC 5
2. Anderson • CHW 4


This Diaz is nasty, and works like his car is double parked out front.
