He was at the bottom of my list but I hope I'm wrong and he bounces back.

WAS is the operative word. We're talking about the choice between Ryu and Keuchel. It's pretty obvious Bumgarner had no intentions of signing anywhere outside his time zone, nevermind an AL team and nevermind the White Sox. So we got ourselves a #3 and maybe, just maybe, he's a damn good #4 in 2021.

I hate that fucking beard though. I hate all civil war beards. I don't get it.

They haven’t made the playoffs in a decade ya fucking idiot. The criticism is deserved.

I wanted Ryu. He has stuff that ages well. In the end we got a veteran lefty and it didn't cost too much.

He's right though. You all just wanted the Sox to spend money just to prove that they can. It didn't matter if they spent wisely.

Yes. So make them rush into bad deals will be better. STFU. You would be cheering right now if the Sox did the equivalent of the heyward contract. Boom. Stop and grow up.

Incremental improvement within the plan.

Fucking Sox fans going all Hendry era Cub fan here.

Same can be said of Keuchel. Sinking fastball, sliders to the corners

Sox have been cheap fucks for a decade.

It's not too much to ask them to fucking open the purse strings once a decade.

Keuchel $18.5 Grandal $18.2 Abreu $16.5

The odds of them holding back Robert for a month and a half have become pretty slim, dontcha think?

I hope.

But I will never put anything past the front office.

Keuchel he has a winning percentage that is almost 30 points higher over 20 fewer career starts.

Wrong. I wanted them to spend money on a top end pitcher and start acting like they play in the 3rd biggest market in the country. They failed at that because their owner is a cheap asshole and one of the very worst owners in sports. I was right. Pittmike was not.

You shut the fuck up you bootlicking boomer. “Grow up” — our team hasn’t been competitive in a decade. Yet you want to suck Jerry’s dick and carry his water because we might finally be .500. Eat a dick.

“Rush into bad deals” when we’ve missed on almost every FA target except Grandal and still haven’t done shit in a decade.

Mike, the fuck are you doing defending this shit?

They didn't fail at that. Those are AWFUL contracts.

Wheeler was the only other target.

The money investment doesn't worry me, its the commensurate playing time dedication that comes with such a contract that gets me a bit nervous. Keuchel is going to have a long, long leash and if he proves ineffective it'll take a lot of sucking before the Sox pull the plug. Still, I think he'll be adequate mostly.

Even if money is no object I think I'd rather have Keuchel than Wheeler. The Sox need the lefty and I just feel like less can go wrong with Keuchel, at this point he is what he is.

Madrigal and especially Robert need to break camp on the big league squad. The Sox are now on paper the best team in the AL Central. Minnesota has simply not done enough to offset losing four-fifths of their rotation. Cleveland is probably feeling even more motivated to deal Lindor now since the Sox are clearly going for it. I'm not sure we're as good as the Tribe even, but it wont take too many things going right for us to surpass them and they aren't going to run that risk.

A lot can still go wrong. They have a terrible manager and are banking on guys like Moncada, Robert and Eloy to all stay healthy, which is a big stretch. But hey, they are finally going for it.

Wrong. Cole will win a WS before the Sox do

That Cole deal is ridiculously stupid and the Yankees are ready to win today and wasn't going to be outbid. Knocking the Sox because they didn't give a pitcher $400M is crazy.

Gas lighting..

Leave the buzz words to the sjw retards. Quintana has a winning % 5 points higher when he's a cub( away from that dogshit organization that is the White Sox)

Berrios, Odorizzi, Gibson, as far as I know, are still Twins starting pitchers

They are bringing back Odorizzi and Pineda but Gibson went to Texas.

I hope he sees this .

Knocking the Sox because they settled for mid tier FAs is justified. It’s sad you carry water for Jerry like this.

5 points higher is basically the same

The amount of infighting... I think we are a tad better than that, boys.
