    Please fire Amaya into the sun

    Why was Taillon out though?
  3. Tryptamine
    Lead off walk for the pen, I think we know how this ends
  4. Tryptamine
    Taillon was at 91, I'd have let him come back out.
  5. Tryptamine
    I'd be thrilled if they added a pen arm as good as Sewald.

    I did and it wasn't even solely based on that tweet. The fact is, he continues to preach patience which you cannot do over 5 years and continually completely botch FA while being too scared of your own shadow to make impact trades. I do believe he'll probably make a trade or two, but it's not going to be an impact player.
  7. Tryptamine
    It's only been 5 years, we all need more patience. With that said, Hoyer can put together a farm but he's complete dog horsefeathers on putting a team together in FA.

    I think a lot of us were saying it was smoke and mirrors and were shocked by how they were still putting up the record they were while waiting for the big names to return from injury.

    The Sox reportedly wanted a package in excess of the one the Nationals got for Soto. San Diego gave up #9 CJ Abrams, #21 Robert Hassel, #88 James Woods, Formerly very highly rated Mackenzie Gore whose luster was wearing off and then Jarlin Susana whose helium was enormous. That's like asking for PCA+Horton+Ballesteros+Brennan Davis+ Hernandez and even that might be light because PCA isn't as highly ranked as Abrams was and Hernandez doesn't have the hype Jarlin did. To want even more than that is insanity.

    A big nope if that's the ask https://x.com/i/web/status/1799864540768698823
  11. Tryptamine
    If they're getting Vlad I want Kikuchi in that deal too.
  12. Tryptamine
    I've been assured everything is fine and saying otherwise is overreacting
  13. Tryptamine
    Of which 2 were come backs against a historically awful team
  14. Tryptamine
    But at least if I went to your game I wouldn't feel like I'm giving my money to a ghoul.
  15. Tryptamine
    Currently yes, but they're in absolute freefall so, unless a miracle happens and they turn it around, they wont be for long.
  16. Tryptamine
    Well today is the day. If they lose to the Reds and the Pirates win, they officially go to last in the Central.
  17. Tryptamine
    There's just zero chance of that even remotely being considered. If you're going with Baltimore the upper tier of the talent you're possibly looking at is Norby and more than likely you're shopping in the Beavers/McDermott/Wagner/Johnson end of the talent pool.
  18. Tryptamine
    Teams that are supposedly good, do not go through stretches like this for this long. The only thing stopping the last few weeks from being a completely and total meltdown is a historically bad White Sox team and that required two come backs.
  19. Tryptamine
    a White Sox forum suggested Caissie and one of Alcantara/Shaw. If the 2nd piece is Alcantara, I'm game even with the awkward roster fit.
  20. Tryptamine
    In a vacuum, yes. With the Cubs so heavily locked in for a few years in the OF, I'd pass and instead use those same assets to upgrade a position of severe need such as 3B/C even SP. Unrelated, but now that we don't have an all in one trade deadline thread I'm not even sure where to put it, but I'd really love to grab Yusei Kikuchi. His stuff has always been good, but he's actually utilizing it this year and I don't think the cost would be particularly high.
  21. Tryptamine
    The White Sox and by a lot. You'd probably have to add in another major piece like Caissie/Ballesteros/Alcantara
  22. Tryptamine
    The Cubs would have to be landing one damn big fish in order for me to be ok with giving up Ballesteros. He's going to mash for a long time.
  23. Tryptamine
    Barring one of the greatest comebacks in MLB history, the White Sox we have lost 14 in a row and 18 out of 19 following tonight's game. That will be them at .238 winning% and on pace for a 39-123 record. This would be the worst winning% in a season since the 1916 Philadelphia Athletics.
  24. Tryptamine
    I swear to god it's a prerequisite to be in this bullpen that you can't have any idea where the ball is going out of your hand.
  25. Tryptamine
    Kind of shocked they didn't try and get Gomes at the plate.
