I like to post links a lot, and tag people. I also cancelled my blue check mark. So now I am getting almost no views and interactions with my posts. Going to move to Bluesky mostly, to see if that is better.

@soxmachine_josh Make sure to get it in the OG oven. Or at least well done

Watch some baseball at Marian Catholic. Now time to grab some pizza.

@SoxMach_pnoles Make room in your heart for another, slap hitting, OBP 2nd baseman

Sam Antonacci’s xwOBA is .422 despite the bad results which is…..interesting.

@MSuareo Getting a cumulative -1.1 WAR out of DH and outfield is basically inexcusable. You act like this is the first season with a questionable outfield. This has been going on for a decade in RF and LF. Last good DH was Jim Thome in 2009...

I get why people are upset, but acting like Getz did nothing to fix the outfield this offseason is a bit of a stretch… Everson Perrera is looking like a steal of a trade acquisition so far, and is still in pre-arb. Austin Hays was a good signing, just had an unfortunate hamstring injury. I wasn’t super high on Acuna even before the trade, but he’s been on the roster for less than a month. It took longer than this for Vargas to figure things out at the plate last year, let’s give him at least until the end of May to decide if he’s trash. He moved one of our best hitting prospects in Sam Antonacci to LF to get him a path to the MLB and bolster our outfield. The depth is rough, that’s obvious. But no outfield is gonna look good when it’s filled with backups. Again, the frustration is warranted. But acting like what we are seeing is the final product is a bit pre mature. If it doesn’t look better by June, then I’ll be more upset. But we knew this wasn’t a playoff team to start the season.

Insane that this team peaked at episode 2 of the first season.

@SoxMach_pnoles I assumed they wanted to do his debut day as a stand alone gimmick to try to sell some extra tickets/keep fan interest.

"Hey, Sam Antonacci, do you want to go play in the major leagues?" "No, sorry, a blogger revealed the news. That's disrespectful. I'd rather stay in Triple-A."

True or not, this is hot garbage that a team would make a decision affecting one of their players' lives just b/c someone leaked it. Losing MLB paychecks because the "wrong" person broke the news. And this account accusing someone of trying to be Jeff Passan is rich as hell.

@DrCrosby64 @SoxMach_pnoles "Sox Math"

@SoxMach_pnoles You’ve got this!

WST, we made it. I’ve wanted to say this for many years, and it’s finally happening. I am going to be a contestant on Jeopardy! APRIL 23! Set those recordings! Whether you like me or hate my baseball opinions, I hope you’ll cheer me on. Do not give up on your dreams.

@barstoolWSD "pray for the league"

Holy shit he massacred this baseball

@MrDelicious13 Replacement level is a AAAA 100 wrc+ guy at DH Find that guy, because it's not Benintendi

I actually think those people holding OVER win total tickets and those enthusiasts that were expecting a surprise Sox team this year...they need Beni to be here and hit! There just isn't the help in the minors close enough to make it work this year

@SoxMach_pnoles If you mess up an answer just remember to "calm down Pnoles"

@SoxMach_pnoles White Sox Playing Smitty is right there for them

This headline is just awful. 0/10 terrible writing

@KenWo4LiFe Highest paid player in white Sox history. Negative WAR

Hey jerkoff you’re lucky you’re still in the fucking league. There I did it

@comiskeydog1 He's been an above average hitter so far

Colson is gonna figure it out because I know he will but GOLLY he's been shit at the plate so far

@KenWo4LiFe @MrDelicious13 Outfield and DH are horrible. Just as everyone knew going into the season. Injuries have made them even worse

@MrDelicious13 Yeah he had a nice effort yesterday. But that’s what happens when you don’t have a decent outfielder. Those are supposed to be some of your best offensive players.

By wRC+ (81) the White Sox are 26th in MLB in offense (5th worst)

@ElGuapoTron4000 @ReeferMadam @Parabola0112 Thanks for all the fish

@ReeferMadam @Parabola0112 What if Trump firing Bondi has nothing to do with whether or not she followed through on Rescheduling? What if Trump tells Blanche to get rescheduling done this week? What if Trump is a human alien hybrid controlled by our true overlords: dolphins

Most of the cannabis space thoughts are Bondi out. She didn’t follow through on cannabis rescheduling. Didn’t follow what Trump wanted But. What if Trump is backpedaling rescheduling behind closed doors all together. And will simply say it’s up to the states. States rights. Which he has vocally stated before. If he feels it won’t benefit his campaign then he simply won’t do it. Full stop. Common response from cannabis word: BUT TRUMP SAID RESCHEDULING. Trump says things all the time. Doesn’t mean much. Sometimes he will simply say things to see the reaction it gets. His words mean nothing. Again. I think the cannabis world is taking this the wrong way. $msos.

@ScaryTerryWeed @V_arrell Interesting point

@madmanx89 @V_arrell Need rule to published for that to matter

Bold strategy cotton let’s see if this pays off.

@mattlindner Had to switch to the Comcast sandwich shop. Those ladies never let you down

@mattlindner YMMV but they took them completely premade out of a wrapper and barely pressed it. Used to hand assemble them

Opening Day at Sox Park means the return of the absolute greatest non-hot dog ballpark sandwich: The Cuban Comet. Absolute god tier Chicago foodstuff.

@SoxMach_pnoles #flexibility always applies to Reinsdorf teams

All about service time. I wouldn’t have thought it was a big deal for guys like this, but when the Sox called up Meidroth last year the literal day they got an extra year of service, it’s pretty clear they’ll do that with anyone.
