Dear Carlos Rodón, Thank You, For Everything.
As I sit here, writing this blog post, the Chicago White Sox did not extend a qualifying offer of $18M to starting pitcher Carlos Rodón. This is surprising, as that is probably the lowest price you are going to get him for, not that he would even accept the QO, but to not even offer…

The 2021 White Sox Were an Organizational Failure
It’s been 2 days since the White Sox were eliminated in the ALDS by the Houston Astros in 4 games, and I know it still stings for some. This team failed, top to bottom. That’s a bold statement made about a team that won 93 games and won their divison, right? As a White Sox…

Cesar Hernandez and Michael Kopech are the X Factors to a White Sox World Series Victory
We are currently two days away from the White Sox taking on the Houston Astros in the ALDS. Many analysts, journalists, and bloggers are on the side of the White Sox winning this series. Not all, but quite a few. There also appears to be a sense of the Astros being the only team standing…

Let’s Take a Look at the Last Time Tony La Russa Managed in the MLB Playoffs, Shall We?
Tony La Russa is a Hall of Fame manager, and last managed in 2011 when the St. Louis Cardinals won the World Series. Obviously there have been some rule changes, and process changes, but I thought it would be fun to breakdown how he managed each series in 2011. Obviously he was managing in the…

What Is The Best Case Scenario for the White Sox Postseason?
Obviously its winning the World Series, but, I want to look more realistically at what I would consider as a successful postseason. To start, they need to have the best and healthy roster available going into October. That means getting Lance Lynn, Lucas Giolito, Carlos Rodon, Eloy Jimenez, Tim Anderson, Jose Abreu, Luis Robert, Yasmani…

The White Sox and Their Fans Have a Volatile Relationship, In Good Times and Bad.
This blog, unlike a few others I’ve done, is not clickbait. Look, we all have the same goal as a fan, we want the White Sox to win games, right? Can they win all 162 games, then 11 more in the playoffs to win the World Series? Technically yes, but is it possible? Also technically…

The White Sox Have Played 41 Games, Let’s Look at the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
The White Sox season is a quarter of the way through. So I wanted to take a look back at the things that have been good, bad, and well, ugly. The offseason brought in some names that were familiar, Liam Hendriks, Lance Lynn, Adam Eaton, and Tony La Russa to be the manager. Fans were…

The Key to the White Sox Season is….Carlos Rodon?
Let me at least clarify before you just stop reading. The White Sox added Lance Lynn and Liam Hendriks this offseason, both of whom finished top 10 in the AL Cy Young voting in 2020. Cool, right? There is a 3rd starter and a top level closer on the pitching staff. So where does that…

Jerry Reinsdorf is Crying Poor, Causing the White Sox to Stand Pat
This feels way too familiar, an owner of a billion dollar franchise, feeding a reporter false information to gain sympathy when the fan base is unhappy. Jerry Reinsdorf is trying to make you think Tony La Russa can win a World Series with an incomplete roster. Ricky Renteria proved you can’t even win a 3…

The White Sox made two moves, so what now?
The Chicago White Sox traded away Dane Dunning and prospect Avery Weems to the Texas Rangers for Starting Pitcher Lance Lynn. The White Sox had been linked to Lance Lynn since the deadline in the shortened 2020 season. A much needed boost in the rotation for their #3 starter. The rotation is taking shape, but…
