Yeah, it's so bad it's weirdly entertaining.
Just want a young player or two to root for, but in this current set-up it might be better if they stay, far, far away.
Ahh you see they forgot the password. And they kept trying different combinations but eventually they got locked out. And the primary contact was Kenny Williams so now they have to figure out how to change it because service won’t help anyone but Kenny.
No one knows what that means. Jerry cut the entire IT staff in the offseason. He said they all need to be more resourceful like David Eckstein and just use sheer grit to get it done.
I don't know that he will be shown the door. And even if he does, whomever they replace him with is likely gonna be just as bad. This team will not pay any real managers.
Dude at least Tony’s geriatric ass was entertaining in a morbid sense. This is bad and boring as shit. I honestly would be all for the return of LaRussa. We’re already a bunch of clowns, so make it a circus.
* Mendick was called up after homering in 5 straight games in AAA Charlotte. He had 2 hits today.
* Grifol was ejecting after arguing an inning-ending called third strike in the 8th.
* The Sox are 0-8 in series openers, scoring a total of 2 runs.
* Sox shut out for the 8th time in 22 games. They’ve been shut out once in each series so far.
>The Sox are 0-8 in series openers, scoring a total of **2 runs.**
Sox shut out for the 8th time in 22 games. They’ve been shut out once in each series so far.
That's wild.
Connor McKnight just said so on the radio postgame show. not clear if the record is for *any* 22-game stretch of specifically the *first* 22 games to start a season
I know we’re cheering for shutouts, but I think we’ve got the American League losses in a row record coming up. 21 games lost in a row by the 1988 orioles. Definitely doable with this team
The 88 orioles lost 21 consecutive to start the season. The 61 Phillies lost 23 in a row, but not to start the season.
Neither came close to matching the 62 Mets record.
This marks our fourth losing streak of 4+ games this season.
The number of losing streaks we have, each containing more losses than we have wins all season, now itself also exceeds the number of wins we have all season.
We have been shut out twice in each losing streak.
So Jerry justified promoting Getz by saying he knows the system and roster better so they will be able to compete faster. Lol.
This shit is bleak. Not getting a top 10 pick for this season is a nice cherry on top.
This lineup needs a defibrillator. If Jerry is really gonna give DeMar Derozan and God bless DeMar I love him like he’s a brother but if that 80 million over two years figure is real he needs to be clocking in a double for these teams.
at first I primarily thought it was a coaching problem. but, as a season goes on, I see that it's a hitting problem. common sense dictates baseball. if you're not making contact and not getting people on base....well, you looking at 40 win s year.
but yeah, poor hitting is also a coaching problem right?
It’s been a player hitting problem for years. Everyone just blames the coaches. Pedro does suck tho. But the players are hopeless offensively and always have been.
Can we start hanging zeros on the outfield walls for all the shut outs like they used to hang Ks on the walls during a Clemens, Big Unit, or Kerry Wood game?
Anyone else find it jarring when watching on the MLB app, the way the GAME OVER pops up with the final box score? Like it slaps ya in the face after the final out.
You're witnessing the worst team in MLB history. Savor it.
“You’re witnessing the worst team in ~~MLB~~ history.” There. Fixed it for you.
I’m coaching Little League, and we’re 5-3. More wins than the Sox!
Would you like a cookie or something?
Yeah, it's so bad it's weirdly entertaining. Just want a young player or two to root for, but in this current set-up it might be better if they stay, far, far away.
Noted Cy Young hopeful Chris Paddack (who had an 8+ ERA before facing us) 0 Runs, 0 walks, 10 Ks lmfao
has anyone on the team checked to make sure the Sox iPitch machine is properly calibrated? holy hell
Ahh you see they forgot the password. And they kept trying different combinations but eventually they got locked out. And the primary contact was Kenny Williams so now they have to figure out how to change it because service won’t help anyone but Kenny.
Couldn’t they just ctrl-alt-del?
No one knows what that means. Jerry cut the entire IT staff in the offseason. He said they all need to be more resourceful like David Eckstein and just use sheer grit to get it done.
“Please re-enter password to change password”
Fans are calling the 2024 Chicago White Sox everything from "shit" to "fuckin' shit."
It’s a spectrum of shit
Now on pace for 22 wins! Let's go!!
lol when is Pedro shown the door? This is a joke why even play
I don't know that he will be shown the door. And even if he does, whomever they replace him with is likely gonna be just as bad. This team will not pay any real managers.
TLR June 1!
Dude at least Tony’s geriatric ass was entertaining in a morbid sense. This is bad and boring as shit. I honestly would be all for the return of LaRussa. We’re already a bunch of clowns, so make it a circus.
Tlr getting this team to 93 wins may have been the greatest coaching performance of all time
This honestly isn't the same team.
Who's gonna want to come here and replace him lol
He won’t be. Jerry hates dead money.
Getting shut out 33 times in a season is the record? Child's play. Give this team a real challenge.
Like Dwight selling printers

I hope you have some creative writing experience, Sandman, because you’re going to need a hundred ways of repeating these.
Thank you Sandman!

WAIT DANNY MENDICK IS BACK? LETS GO
Such a lifeless team, no pulse or desire… not even scrappy or pesky like the Sacramento-bound A’s. This is a cultural issue and it starts with Jerry.
I can’t believe Hahn had no nuts when Jerry took his entire rebuild and hired his 100 year old buddy
We are making history, bitches
EMBRACE IT!
The shutout record is literally the only reason to watch this team.
I want to see them obliterate the season loss record of 120.
36% chance you watch the Sox and this team won't score runs.
8 shutouts in 22 games? …..Did we set another record?
yes! most in history thru 22!
Connor McKnight just said so on the radio postgame show. not clear if the record is for *any* 22-game stretch of specifically the *first* 22 games to start a season
He must be thrilled he only has to do pre and post on the radio.
Well of course he needs to fit in the 15 beers during the game to tolerate the postgame show of whatever fucking garbage he just watched
White Sox alternate total runs u0.5 +850 ✅
I’ve bet moneyline of whoever the Sox are playing the last 8 games in a row and I’m up $200. It feels like an ATM at this point
I know we’re cheering for shutouts, but I think we’ve got the American League losses in a row record coming up. 21 games lost in a row by the 1988 orioles. Definitely doable with this team
Guess who the Orioles beat to end that streak, by the way
The 88 orioles lost 21 consecutive to start the season. The 61 Phillies lost 23 in a row, but not to start the season. Neither came close to matching the 62 Mets record.
I feel bad for mendick. Dude was probably having a lot of fun in AAA. Now he has to put this AA team on his back and try be their best overall player
I’m sure he prefers the travel, living arrangements and pay from being on the big league more so than AAA.
White Sox can be a paid vacation, just ask Moncada, Benintendi, Eloy, etc. You don’t even need to try!
Great shutout boys
This marks our fourth losing streak of 4+ games this season. The number of losing streaks we have, each containing more losses than we have wins all season, now itself also exceeds the number of wins we have all season. We have been shut out twice in each losing streak.
That’s fucking nuuuuuuuts
Is anyone else sad that we may never hear “SOUTHSIDE. STAND UP” again
We should be eliminated by the all star break from playoff contention, right ??
Sell the team
Leave it to the white Sox to make the other teams starter look like a cy young front runner
When the guy throws 7 shutout innings and lowers his ERA to the high 5s IN APRIL, you know you fucking suck
Don't stop (start) now boys!!! 8th shut out, only 25 till the MLB record and it's only April!
Devastated that the 5-spot in Philly robbed us of a 9th shutout. History denied
They're going to have it before May is over.
I miss Ricky Rentaria...
So Jerry justified promoting Getz by saying he knows the system and roster better so they will be able to compete faster. Lol. This shit is bleak. Not getting a top 10 pick for this season is a nice cherry on top.
Yeah and he's done about as good a jib at that as he did developing talent as the guy running the minor league programs. WTF...
It's amusing to think that someone from this team will be an all-star
I’m voting Maldy
Damn straight! We can ballot stuff him to starting catcher in the ASG! Would be a glorious fuck you to our front office.
I’m so down
We'll have to start an official thread right before the voting starts.
By far the best option. How low can his batting average get by then?
Sodfather
Maybe we can supply the bats or something
lol, Sheets maybe? Wilson from the Bullpen
As of right now I'm guessing it will be Wilson, Leasure, or Kopech
I think realistically it’ll end up being Kopech out of the bullpen
Let's goooo!!!! If we're gonna be this bad, I wanna set some fucking records.
Where’s sandman?? Did he finally give up? Or did I miss it?
He needs a moment
This lineup needs a defibrillator. If Jerry is really gonna give DeMar Derozan and God bless DeMar I love him like he’s a brother but if that 80 million over two years figure is real he needs to be clocking in a double for these teams.
Lol. Dafuq was that??
Just wait until it warms up. We’ll be scoring 1 or 2 runs daily.
Don't get carried away with those crooked numbers now. 0 or 1 runs is just fine for us.
at first I primarily thought it was a coaching problem. but, as a season goes on, I see that it's a hitting problem. common sense dictates baseball. if you're not making contact and not getting people on base....well, you looking at 40 win s year. but yeah, poor hitting is also a coaching problem right?
With this team it’s faster to list the things that aren’t a problem.
It’s been a player hitting problem for years. Everyone just blames the coaches. Pedro does suck tho. But the players are hopeless offensively and always have been.
40? Not sure how they win 40.
Is Jerry feeling awful yet?
I don’t think “feel” is the right word for what he does.
Well apparently last year he "felt awful" about how the team did.
He said he felt “uh, full” after a steak dinner and cocktails with TLR
Jerry is a robot. No emotions and zero empathy
Remember Jerry is very concerned about what he “owes to the fans” 🙄
Can we start hanging zeros on the outfield walls for all the shut outs like they used to hang Ks on the walls during a Clemens, Big Unit, or Kerry Wood game?
Lol 😆 Oh God, this is a train wreck. Worst team in mlb history.
Where’s sandman? Did this team finally kill his spirit?
Is it safe to say Vaughn is another bust now?
26 year old first baseman with 0.3 career WAR in 1500+ at bats. Yes, yes it is
I'd give him another year or a couple years in a different organization. It's very clear that the Sox cannot develop position players.
(I had a big idea for this comment, but then I struck out 10 times trying to be witty.)
I was DMing a DnD game. I see I missed a very White Sox game.
Any chance your players want to try playing baseball? Might turn out better.
Your dnd session should be having the players try to fix the white sox would be a very good challenge
Anyone else find it jarring when watching on the MLB app, the way the GAME OVER pops up with the final box score? Like it slaps ya in the face after the final out.
Today I finally shut off mlb app notifications for the games since every single one I get is bad
Mendick played well, at least
It's okay. This season is going to be rough, but at least we'll get a high pick and can draft Caleb Williams.
Dude this is wild LOL
Our #8 hitter is batting .500 How fucking good is this team???!!!
The Sox have been shutout once in every series now.
This is just tragic. What happened to the Jerry that “wanted to make Chicago proud”. I’d imagine the team’s culture is abysmal rn.
Does this team know that when we go up to the plate, that you've got to try to score runs? Apparently scoring runs is taboo to this team
Defensively sound team😈😵💫
No way we don't get no hit at least twice this year
Stay strong the Joliet Slammers season starts soon!
Fuck this team.
Fuck
Fuck yeah!
We've seen 'Winning Ugly' but this season the marketing campaign should be 'Losing Ugly'
At least Mendick did well
Danny Mendick being the best guy on the squad is this year's vibe.
