Sox fans! Welcome back... our Chicago White Sox (28-91) finally fired their inept manager, Pedro Grifol, along with a bunch of other coaches. Grady Sizemore has been given the interim managerial title but the losing has continued... for now. Chris Getz is saying all the right things when it comes to a serious managerial search but will the Sox really follow through? If nothing will ever change while Jerry owns the team then does the manager matter much? Thank you for the continued support. Go So...

Hey Sox fans! Our Chicago White Sox have lost twenty games in a row and are sixty games under .500. Sixty. Games. The Sox were swept this past weekend by the Twins in Minnesota. Pedro Grifol is somehow still the manager however a meeting was held recently to discuss his future. Were you happy with what the Sox got back at the trade deadline? Are you glad Crochet remained on the team? The Sox now head to Oakland before coming home to face the Chicago Cubs. Thank you for the continued support, Go ...

Sox fans! Our Chicago White Sox (27-74) were swept by the Kansas City Royals this past weekend. The Sox scored just three runs and turned in a pathetic effort after the break. Can the Sox turn things around in 2025 like the Royals have done? Speaking of 2025, next year's schedule is out... will Crochet and Robert Jr. be around to participate? Thank you for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox

Sox fans! Our Chicago White Sox (27-71) made it to the All- Star break in historic fashion. No team in history has ever lost as many games (71) as the Sox have at the break. This past week was dominated by the MLB Draft and the trade deadline. Lots of speculation on whether the Sox will trade star pitcher Garrett Crochet but if he does go, they now have a new lefty in the system. With the fifth pick in the draft, the Sox chose left-handed pitcher Hagen Smith. Despite the fact that the Sox need s...

Sox fans! Our Chicago White Sox (26-66) lost a pair of road series and Michael Kopech's inconsistencies were on full display in the finale in Miami. Kopech gave up a three run, walk-off homerun to Jake Burger. Living and dying by the fastball is not a sustainable recipe for a closer. During the Cleveland series, Luis Robert Jr. decided not to make a throw from centerfield at the end of Game 1 because there did not seem to be a realistic chance that he'd get the ball to Homeplate in time to stop ...

Hey Sox fans! Our beloved Chicago White Sox (24-62) were swept by Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers then took two out of three from the Colorado Rockies. Garrett Crochet pitched very well against both LA and COL. Rumors continue to swirl about the Sox looking to deal him at the deadline. Play-by-play man, John Schriffen, celebrated a monster homerun by Luis Robert Jr. with a panther growl. As expected, fans had opinions. The White Sox had their first weekday, non-Cubs/Opening Day sellout...

Hey Sox fans! Our 2024 Chicago White Sox (21-58) are on pace to be the worst team in franchise history. What a time to be alive. The Sox have a rough time in Detroit. Jonathan Cannon could not string together back-to-back quality starts, Paul DeJong forgot how many outs there were and Oscar Colas was optioned yet again. Is Tony LaRussa influencing the search for the next White Sox manager? Eloy Jimenez returned from the injured list and got injured again on Sunday. We also examine comments from ...

Hey Sox fans! Our Chicago White Sox (19-54) are still waiting on that elusive 20th win but a few pitching performances from this past week might have made you forget about the horribleness. The Sox strung together four solid outings in Seattle and Erick Fedde shined in Arizona over the weekend. Drew Thorpe and Jonathan Cannon impressed and Garrett Crochet is must watch TV. Besides what we're seeing at the big league level, there are pitchers in the farm system that are worthy of excitement. Also...

Hey Sox fans! Our Chicago White Sox (17-49) made team history this past week as their losing streak hit fourteen games. What a time to be alive. The Sox were swept by the Cubs in the two game crosstown series while splitting a four game series with Boston on the South Side. Martin Maldonado continues to get playing time. Pedro Grifol defends not pinch hitting for his inept catcher in the finale and what a defense it is. Will your fandom be broken if the Sox trade Crochet or Robert Jr.? John Schr...

Hey Sox fans! Our Chicago White Sox (15-45) were swept by the Milwaukee Brewers and are on a historically bad pace as their losing streak hits eleven games. Andrew Vaughn and Andrew Benitendi are hurt, Crochet continued to impress, Tommy Pham was ready to fight and Pedro Grifol butters up to his boss. It's been a brutal season and an embarrassment on so many levels so we try to reason with our fandom during some White Sox therapy. Thank you for joining the conversation. Go Sox. #WhiteSox

Sox fans! The Chicago White Sox (8-26) took two of three from the St. Louis Cardinals after being swept by the Minnesota Twins. Tommy Pham has added a spark and prospect Bryan Ramos got the call. Will he be used sparingly or will the Sox give him a serious look while Danny Mendick battles a back issue? Garrett Crochet was solid in the finale against the Cardinals but Perdro Grifol talks about a possible move to the bullpen as his innings ramp up. New play-by-play man, John Schriffen, was called ...

Sox fans! Our Chicago White Sox have found new ways to embarrass themselves and this past week was beyond disappointing. The offense continues its ineptitude and the defense has reached new lows. Debuts by Nick Nastrini and Jonathan Cannon provided some rest from the bleak outlook. Lenyn Sosa has been demoted and Danny Mendick is set to join the big league club. Why is Pedro Grifol still managing the White Sox? Do you have faith that a serious managerial search will ever take place under Jerry? ...

Sox fans! The Chicago White Sox (2-13) are off to their worst start in franchise history. Over one hundred twenty years of baseball. It was ugly this past week as the Sox lost a series in Cleveland and were swept by the Cincinnati Reds on the South Side. Bad baseball has been played and the results have put the White Sox at the bottom of the entire league. Is this what Jerry Reinsdorf wanted? Can Pedro Grifol keep his job? The Sox lost Yoan Moncada to an adductor injury but are bringing Tommy Ph...

Sox fans! The Chicago White Sox (1-8) split a rain shortened series with the Atlanta Braves and then were swept by the Kansas City Royals. The Sox are bottom of the barrel in most offensive categories including runs scored. It's not just bad, it's historically bad. The lone bright spot continues to be Garrett Crochet. Both Eloy Jimenez and Luis Robert Jr. are on the injured list and we wonder where the finger should be pointed? Are the players to be blamed? The coaching staff? Both? Mike Cleving...

Hey Sox fans! The Chicago White Sox (0-3) were swept by the Detroit Tigers to start off the 2024 campaign. Each loss was by one run but there were some troubling occurrences in the series. Sox struggled to get on base and were 1-for-14 with runners in scoring position. The White Sox failed to hold on to a three run lead in the 2nd game of the series then lost in extra innings. Luis Robert Jr. hit two home runs but Eloy Jimenez came up short in two critical moments then injured himself in the ser...

Sox received a few arms that might be ready to help out this season.

The Chicago White Sox are (3-8) during Cactus League play. So far, the offense has been inept however Eloy Jimenez and Yoan Moncada have been bright spots. Moncada has mentioned to Pedro Grifol that he would like to bat 2nd this season. Grifol said that Moncada is one of the best bunters on the team. Dylan Cease, Michael Kopech and Garrett Crochet saw action this past week. Crochet has impressed, striking our Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout. Grifol continues to talk about indefinable qualities and ...

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. The Sox traded away Gregory Santos and Cristian Mena to the Seattle Mariners and Baltimore Orioles, respectively. Santos could very well have been the Sox closer in 2024 and Mena was a well thought of pitching prospect. The Sox got some much needed outfield depth in return. Dominic Fletcher came to the Sox from AZ and should be a player to watch this spring. With all of this outfield depth, does this mean Gavin Sheets will no longer hang out in ...

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. Garrett Crochet wants to be a starter in 2024 and it sure sounds like Chris Getz wants to give him that opportunity.
