Wouldn't be surprised if Anderson has a mild concussion. That was nasty.

Dude put up his dukes like it was 1910 or some horsefeathers.

Just when you thought Tim Anderson's season couldn't get any worse...

That fight just about summed up the entire White Sox 2023 season.

Good to be back. Formerly LemmeHearya.  I couldn't remember the email I used when I signed up way way back.  I left in 2003 after you know what.  20 years and a World Series and I'm now officially over it.

I can merge your accounts and get that old account back for you, if that's what you're interested in doing. Just shoot me a PM.

Yowza, this is pretty damning

The struggling Chicago White Sox, whose fall out of contention culminated with moving veteran players at the trade deadline, were plagued by a culture that had "no rules" in which a rookie regularly fell asleep in the bullpen, former White Sox relief pitcher Keynan Middleton said Sunday.

"We came in with no rules," Middleton said. "I don't know how you police the culture if there are no rules or guidelines to follow because everyone is doing their own thing. Like, how do you say anything about it because there are no rules?

"You have rookies sleeping in the bullpen during the game. You have guys missing meetings. You have guys missing PFPs [pitcher fielding practices] and there are no consequences for any of this stuff."

Multiple sources, who corroborated Middleton's account to ESPN, said a pitcher was seen napping during games as well as skipping fielding practice.

When contacted on Sunday night about Middleton's remarks, the White Sox said they had no comment.

Middleton said the problems at the White Sox predated his arrival this season -- as well as Grifol's. The team finished 81-81 last year under La Russa, the Hall of Fame manager, before he left the job due to health concerns.

"When I got to spring training, I heard a lot of the same stuff was happening last year," Middleton said. "It's happening again this year so not sure how I could change it. They don't tell you not to miss PFPs. They don't tell you not to miss meetings and if it happens, it's just, 'OK.'"

Asked where the void exists with the White Sox, Middleton said: "Leadership in general. They say s--- rolls downhill. I feel like some guys don't want to speak up when they should have. It's hard to police people when there are no rules. If guys are doing things that you think are wrong, who is it wrong to? You or them? It's anyone's judgment at that point."

TLR - what a great hire that club made a few years back. I’ll bet Ricky is laughing his ass off.

White Sox destined for a dynasty of obscurity. I love it.

I wonder if the Cubs could pry Eloy back this offseason. Getting him in a different environment might work wonders.

The Cubs IL is probably a lot different than the Sox IL

He sure as heck wouldn't play the OF for us. And I'm not certain that he's a better hitter than Morel at DH. 

Not sure I see the point.

Also we’ll have Ohtani as the DH next year so that spot won’t be open.
