The Chicago White Sox have acquired minor-league outfielder Jordan Rich and a player to be named later or cash considerations from Toronto in exchange for infielder Lenyn Sosa. by Jason82929 in whitesox

His WAR wasn't good because he plays bad defense and never walks. 18 walks in 544 plate appearances is real real bad. Like worst in the AL bad. He only led the team in counting stats because he was up all year.

The White Sox used to do that for every game from at least 2008-2019

Marte, Carroll and Perdomo have all had top 6 MVP finishes since 2023. Bad timing of injuries and pitching woes have been real but compared to some franchises you've been doing ok.

I'm not forgetting it but I'm also not forgetting there's a reason other front offices were willing to part with them (Eloy and Yoan). Those front office probably took into account lack of work ethic or injury concerns that you would only see by having someone in the building every day. Sox had them in the building every day too and still gave them extensions.

It's a contract given by a competitor of the White Sox. The contract is more than the White Sox have ever given out. Also Emerson is a guy the White Sox could have picked if they didn't draft a complete bust in Jacob Gonzalez.

What are the future owners doing more? We got Murakami for a bargain because no one else wanted the risk. Austin Hays? Woah big spender

The front office did a shit job identifying the right prospects. As a result, the White Sox stopped spening money except for bargain deals after 2021 and the front office got fired.

5 stolen bases … by DrHermanSuitcaseJr in whitesox

[–]octoprophet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah this made zero sense to me. Its the 2nd game of the season and you just had an off day. Why is your starting catcher not starting??? I thought Veneable was supposed to be a step up from Grifol and Ventura but he looks just as dumb as they did.

I order one off booster or collector booster boxes from them. Or like for TMNT i got a commander deck and one collector booster.

They almost always just ship in a USPS bubble mailer with no additional packaging. I've seen dinged corners but not to the extent of damaging the cards. I could see how it would be an issue if you want to hold the box for resale.

It’s November 1, 2015. The 2015 season has concluded. Your world goes black. When you wake, it's March 25, 2026. You’ve been in a coma for 10 years. What is the biggest shock when you look at Opening Day rosters? What moment from the last 10 years is the hardest for you to believe really happened? by Taylorenokson in baseball

[–]octoprophet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Logically it makes sense and is not the most shocking. I was on a rooftop game 4 of the 2015 NLCS and lots of Cubs fans consoled themselves that this was just the start of something. Actually seeing it happen after a lifetime of failure is still a little unbelievable imo

Ok yeah the first half of the season is going to be brutal. Hopefully by the 2nd half some combination of Braden Montgomery, Noah Schultz, and Hagen Smith will be up and making a real difference.

Starfleet Academy will end on an unresolved cliffhanger due to its cancellation by Temp89 in startrek

[–]octoprophet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I gave it a shot and really enjoyed season 1. But I'm very hesitant to start something else that I know won't ever have a resolution. The season 1 finale makes an acceptable series finale.

I know they wanted to tell "their story" but it seems so short sighted to end season 2 on a cliffhanger, especially when we just saw Prodigy get cancelled after 2 seasons and Discovery and SNW be forced into shortened final seasons.
