Random Thoughts 2.3

isn't it interesting how moncada in the last 16 games is playing real ball (.339 12 rbi's)? when it mattered he hit in the .210's but now that no one gives a shit he's playing lights out! guess his music career hasn't taken off so he should get serious about playing ball. i find i hate this guy with a passion. a PERFECT representative of the chicago white sox.

i'm curious ... has grifol impressed anyone here? i give him a D so far.

jose ramirez:
“I have tried to apologize to Tim Anderson, but he has not answered me. He's a good player. What happened is something that does not go with my way of being. Everyone who knows me knows that I'm not a troubled man. I like to play hard and try to help my team”.

Anderson already isn't the most well-liked player in the big leagues and simply ignoring Jose Ramirez when he's trying to apologize won't exactly help his case. Anderson after all was the one who initially dropped his glove and raised his fists, too. To be honest, both guys should be apologizing to one another.

i hope this guy is long gone before next season. been over-rated his whole career and this year has been mailing it in.

The on-field product stinks so much - I can't watch it (though I do check the box score as I have for over 5 decades every morning). I reminded of Terry Bevington - I don't need that. I'm back to following the minor leagues. Nice interview the other day by Chuck Gurfein with Colson Montgomery (see podcast White Sox Talk).

Chris Getz is the single decision maker - he's got a lot to prove.

If the Sox are going to keep Katz - they ought to sign Giolito in FA. I wouldn't keep Katz. He face planted this year.

I don't even see a starting line to getting better until 2025 when Moncado is gone and Montgomery, Thompson, Ramos and the new catcher ought to be ready for the bigs.

Grifol stays.

This team can’t be f*cking serious.

sox - 562 runs scored this season ... 709 given up. 147 more runs given up than scored. our idiot owner thinks we'll be competitive next year! well, maybe he doesn't actually think it. he just wants the fans to believe it.

 

[Jiddy]

The only thing that still interests me about this season is if we'll actually hit triple digit losses. Looking like so...Good Lord what a fall.

I'd like to find out who told Andrew Vaughn to stop taking walks. I'd say 100 losses is a good bet.

in my mind vaughn is an over-rated player. i expected much more from him by now. not saying he won't improve but i expected more than .250 and 15-20 homeruns. maybe it's just the depression of being on this team. i get a kick out of reading over and over how great the clubhouse is and everyone is great. what bullshit! cause if it's a happy clubhouse, something is seriously wrong.

not really worth talking about anymore.

How many times have the Sox scored early - only to take the rest of the night off? That's upside down.

losing 3 to 2 in the 8th, anderson pulls a "korey lee" and fails to run on a fair ball. the guy is a loser!

I woke up this morning remembering when Carton Fisk - got in Deion Sanders' face over not running out a popup. Deion used to draw a $ sign in the dirt with his bat prior to getting into a batting stance. Sanders hit the popup in the 1st - but in the 3rd inning Sanders came up and told Fisk (according to Fisk) "Slavery is over." Fisk got in his face immediately.

From what I see at Colorado - it is Deion who is coaching on an "old school" platform about hustle. He must have learned something,

The Katz magic has crashed and burned this year. He's got to go - must be a pitching coach with Royals on his resume - Grifol can suggest.
