Let me start by saying that I’ve been married to an incredible Cuban woman for 35 years. Her family is awesome too.
But the Cubans on the White Sox need to go: Robert, Moncada, and Grifol. Lazy, injury prone, and baseball stooooopid. Trade them for a cafe con leche and a couple of medianoche sandwiches
Sosa has looked like he’s figured something out a half dozen times over the last couple of years. I think we need to consider the possibility that he might just be a streaky hitter. He looked great after his last call-up, and then he cratered again. Yeah, he’s put a few nice games together this week, but he’s going to have to do it a lot more consistently before it looks like anything other than another streak. Because in the net balance he’s been bad: negative WAR and an OPS+ of 68.
Do our coaches not teach how not to balk? I know the balk rule is a meme but I’ve barely been watching this year but I feel like they balk every single game I do tune into. Why are we balking so much? Is balking up league wide or is this another thing we’re pathetic in?
No MLB pitcher needs to be taught how not to balk, and no MLB team is spending time on “not balking” lessons. It’s just something that happens when a pitcher loses concentration. Sox pitchers are under a great deal of pressure because the team is so bad, so perhaps that’s contributing to it. But it’s not some organizational breakdown.
Robert is just who Robert is at this point. He can string in some insane MVP level at bats but has the vision of a AA player and horrible discipline most times. I want to keep him so bad but his plate appearances can be so AGONIZING many times.
Anyone watching the pregame show? Was Ozzie agreeing or disagreeing with resting Pham today even though Pham has great numbers against the starting pitcher today (Carrasco). I was struggling to follow him.
That stat they just showed with players that have left the white sox since july 2, 2023 is just....sad. All those injuries and underperforming players minus Reynaldo Lopez. The White Sox kill careers.
Ozzie just shit on Grandal lmao. Oh no...Ozzie now shitting on analytics...stop Ozzie please. Just go back to shitting on Grandal lol.

At least we didnt have to wait 14 innings
Kopech’s wild pitch pitch is going to get al the attention, but don’t forget he already struck that dude out. That ump was trash.
Yup.
Roberts is checked out until he gets traded.
Robert had 4 rbis today.
Who is roberts?
Let’s be honest. There was no way he was getting the runner
Yeah most guys around the league hold it now. They just let it drop half the time. This l on dejong and maldenado (and the ump too ha)
Doesn’t matter you throw the damn ball.
what did schiffren say was terrible. I keep rewinding it and cant tell.
The ump
The no strike call
Fuck this Ump and fuck Kopech.
Why do you not even attempt a throw? I don't understand...
He didn’t want the game to continue. There is no other reason.
Luis loves holding the ball in those scenarios
You think he was gonna get him?
90% no, would’ve needed a perfect throw and tag. But he has done things like this before, his lack of effort is infuriating sometimes
Doesn't matter, you have to try...like every other outfielder in the league does on those plays.
it’s the game winning run, you have to at least try
He didn’t even throw the fucking ball?! What is happening
And the wild pitch leads to the loss Schriffen sounds whiny
embarrassing
Nice try by Robert Jr
WHY DIDN'T HE THROW THE BALL?
No way he was getting him out anyways
No idea. Looked like he forgot the runner was on 3rd? Or he just gave up since it was highly unlikely he was gonna get the out
By that logic, why even catch the ball?
Well yeah if you’re not gonna at least try to make the throw you can just trot to the dugout once it’s hit your way
What can go wrong will go wrong
Murphy's Sox
If Kopech gets hurt that will hurt his trade value
Oh great, he's injured. Now we can't trade him.
Terrible miss by the ump there. Maldy cost us 2 ks now
These strike zones are insane.
Ump scorecard will be quite interesting
You have got to be kidding me
OPE!
What the fuck was that?
Looks like his spine csught
Maldy….
Starts typing “blopech”… waiting… waiting…
It’s Opech cuz it’s always an ope in classic Midwestern fashion, and he’s like OPEC in that he’s always drilling batters with hit-by-pitches.
So Maldy would have to start the 10th on 2nd. Can Danny GuyWang catch?
Feels like a Kopech walk off HR allowed day
It's only been like a week, so we're due
100%. We got bad Kopech tonight
Butterfingers
Maldy tried y’all
I wonder if Kopech listened to his self-help tapes before the game tonight?
Maldonado making contact on a 101 pitch should count as a hit for him
It was almost a homerun
Thanks maldo
What’s with the weird “oooohhhh”’s this inning? Is this new?
I’m sorry Brebbia I wasn’t familiar with your game
Hopefully we can get a team to give us something for dejong. I think I’m ready for his time on this team to be at an end
Someone should trade for him. Return won’t be much but you take whatever lottery ticket guy you can get for him
Bogus strike out
Tanner has been looking a whole lot better
Less than 4 weeks until the trade deadline. Time for everyone to lock in and focus on boosting their trade value.
You guys, two balls have been hit to Paul and zero errors.
I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn’t dreaming
He knows the trade deadline is officially less than 4 weeks away now. Time to shore up that defense for scouts
Snorlax behind the plate is a beautiful sight
I wish they could give him a Jabba the hutt looking gear behind the plate kinda like what they do in hockey for the goalies with just the mask
Hockey-style mask art for catchers would actually be sick af
6 runs for this team is impressive
They literally cant trade him the team will score 50 runs the rest of the year
Jerry doesn’t care about winning
Pham should do some shadow boxing to show the umps what’s up
What not hitting behind Benintendi does to a mfer
Staying in this!
Holy fucking shit actually bringing RISP home
He was .122 with RISP to start this is a miracle
Lead Off Robert feeling it
Holy moly tie game
Tommy about ready to throw hands
Maldy is coming in
LFG
Remember Yoan Moncada?
Pepperidge farm remembers
If Sosa can improve at 3b, I'll forget about him. Offensively, Sosa looks to have figured out something at the plate
Sosa has looked like he’s figured something out a half dozen times over the last couple of years. I think we need to consider the possibility that he might just be a streaky hitter.

Gonna be Ramos’ spot before too long.
…
Used to play for the Sox
Oh I know lol
The guardians pick up 3 excuse me, indeed.
3 unearned
Give Flexan a contract. This guy is really good
Should’ve been out of the inning now we’re down three
Make a basic play we’re hitting right now
That’s White Sox baseball
Cleveland really brings out the worst in us. Every time
Just Cleveland?
Would love to see the stats on errors committed vs them compared to the field
I can’t wait to see DeJong’s error total at the end of the season
Fuckin clowns
Heady, cerebral baseball
White Sox baseball baby !
Idiotic
If it couldn’t get any worse I just turned on Pluto TV to see what was on before bed.. and they are playing the Josh Naylor game from 22
I’ll say it i I hate dejongs game
another dejong error
What the fuck did that really just happen
Jason Bennetti is a damn saint. Miss that guy
The strike zone is about 10ft wide for the Sox
HOME RUN
That Jardiance commercial is unhinged
sheets the oaf in the outfield makes me want to play in traffic

I watch all the games we play and we havent done it much but it should be not at all it hardly happens around the league
HOW DO THEY BALK SO MUCH
This is our 5-6 this year now… like what the fuck
“Carrssco’s dealing right now” No, not really John, he’s simply facing the 2024 whitesox
See the thing about John is he’s about as real as a manikin and will say anything they tell him to
lmao your announcers are hilarious
Hey respect stonie. The other guys fair game
The “sell the team” hot dog
Down one? Now Pedro’s edging like fuck in the dugout
oh no. a schnee bomb
Flexen is such a fucking bum 😂😂😂
Ball was crushed
The scouting report on Robert is offspeed, low and away. Dude swings it at every time 🤦🏻♂️ been doing this his entire career
Yeah true
You get these swings like 3x a game from Robert. How is this not fixed yet from early in his career
Made almost the same comment right after you 😂
Sell sell sell
Sheets with the CANNON
Really hate how their jerseys and pants are a different shade of grey. Cant help but notice it every time
Noted speed demon Paul dejong
Paul looked cooked around that turn cursing being sent
Yall just love to hate lol. I think it was the right call, but that throw from OF to catcher was crazy
Not a horrible send. That was a pretty good relay
I agree. Despite Paul’s speed I thought it was just a spot on throw
Was a sad display of base running lol
Could have slid around the tag
To be honest that tag was crazy though, dude got em out on the bounce.
Yeah on replay it was a good send
LMFAO
OUTZ!
I could totally go the rest of my life not seeing another Eloy at bat
Same dude. Same. At least we’ll never have to see yoan again
Should dfa him during this half inning
I am patiently waiting for the books to add Vaughn for the comeback player of the year, and hopefully, he doesn't get traded.
I need a complete season of Vaughn before I jump back on the wagon, but I'm happy he looks like he's figured it out so far.
AV club
Robert is just who Robert is at this point. He can string in some insane MVP level at bats but has the vision of a AA player and horrible discipline most times. I want to keep him so bad but his plate appearances can be so AGONIZING many times.
You gotta think they havent worked on it well enough with him or something.
Has some of the worst body language too, makes it harder to watch
Andrew Vaughn is a major league hitter.. the tour continues
Robert batting .122 with runners in scoring position no wonder he's lead off
Solo bombs only, you know the rules
Kinda like Vaughn
Take a look at Roberts risp splits for risp by year. It’s sad. Vaughn is considerably better
I know this is said ad nauseam but I can’t stand Schiffren. I’ve never heard someone sound lamer or more fake
That Growl HR call was the absolute cringest thing ever
To me that was ASG play-by-play material, if we can’t have Snorlax I want him there
I'm sure MLB fans would rather have Snorlax lol
Non whitesox fans seem to love him
If we must suffer, they too shall burn along side us
Suffering is kinda our thing around here at whitesox sub reddit

At the game, guy rolled down his window to flip me off god bless
Lmao why did a random guy flip you off?
Wouldn’t have happened to be Jerry would it?
Robert hitting lead off. I like it
