They've pretty much played around .500 ball since the ASB and are only still in first by grace of the Brewers also being mired in mediocrity.

They have like a -28 run differential since the break and are lucky to have even been playing .500 ball.

Let's face it, it's tough to go far with one of the worst starting rotations in baseball. Even if this team gets in the playoffs and the offense turns around, who the gently caress besides Hamels do you trust to pitch a playoff game?

I really just don’t understand the appeal of bobbleheads. We have a bunch of White Sox ones just by virtue of attending games with giveaways that are taking up space in our closet.

You should throw them up on Ebay. I've collected them for a long time. Started mainly when I'd get them at games. Probably have 100 now but I'd say most are from having season tickets to the Bulls for 12 years.

Idk what to do, I miss Kris Bryant but I don't want to see Bote go.

Play Bote at 2B and Javy at SS. That's their best lineup.

How come Bote isn't an everyday player at this point? Surely he's deserved it.

He had retired 10 straight and except for a misplayed grounder it would have been 11. I’m not surprised Joe let him try to work out of it.

His numbers 3rd time through the order are atrocious. And he walked a guy who doesnt walk.

Glad La Stella is on this team and batting lead off today

Does Joe look at who the worst hitters on the team are and decide they should get the most at-bats?

Zobrist is the best hitter on the team right now, he just doesn't have it today.

I'm talking La Stella leading off. Or when Heyward is hitting 3rd while Schwarber is 6th and Contreras is 7th on a daily basis.

I know order doesn't matter but getting your better hitters more at-bats does matter. Why give La Stella an extra at-bat at the top of the lineup when he's your team's worst hitter? Why have Heyward get 30-40 more at-bats than Schwarber this season because of where he hits in the order? It's just stupid old-time garbage.
