The Official 2019 Chicago White Sox Thread

[Lake Shore Drive]

.208 and striking out at more than a 1/3 clip. (55 at bats...19 k's)

You spoke way too soon.

Yeah, guess I'll have to file that under "Oops"

Lopez deserves a lot of credit for having a stellar second half after a pitiful first half. He even said he'd be better and had mental issues or some shit.

 

[ChiSoxFan]

How do we go about having a White Sox banner at the top of the Sox threads like other teams in all sports seem to have on the Hoop? Would be like the area rug that ties the room together.

palka is batting .019 -- 1-for-53 on the season. since 1901, the lowest batting average for a non-pitcher with at least 50 at-bats belongs to lyn lary, with an .056 mark in 1940 (3-for-54).

That comment is going to hurt Rick's feelings. He doesn't like to be criticized on the Twitter.

He will just use technical terms to make it sound like he knows exactly what he’s doing and this was the process all along

Except it WAS. Meatball fans incessant bitching does not change the fact that 2020 has ALWAYS been the target date. lol

So those first 4 yrs were always the plan too?

I don't remember the unofficial Sox timeline for really busting out, so I'm not disputing the 2020 target. In my own mind when the rebuild began I had projected at the time that this year would be the season in which we'd be in the playoff hunt all the way - maybe not make it, but definitely be in the thick of it. Then in 2020 we'd not only be in the playoffs, but likely hunting for the AL crown as well. In fairness, I think part of the blame for being at least a year off (if not two) has been due to so many injuries to our key prospects, particularly the Tommy John injuries to our young pitchers. That of course is not the only reason, but if we're being fair, it has contributed to the delay.

The Sox could really put a thumper on the Indians playoff hopes with a win tonite, which BTW will close out the season series between the two clubs. Even assuming the Sox lose, they will have ended '19 with a 10-9 advantage over the Tribe.

 

[Lake Shore Drive]

A small (very small) victory in that we somehow avoided 90 losses for the year, which a month or so back I would have thought impossible. A little mo to build on for next year.

eloy and moncada coming around had a lot to do with that.
