  1. This manager sets the tone and it sucks. I saw so much sloppiness from this team. They do little things wrong and it has been put up with far too long under this regime. Kopech flubs a ball covering first (vs dp)…leads to a run. Robert doesn’t tag on a ball he should have been…should have been on 3rd with 0 or 1 outs vs stuck on 2nd…which should lead to a run. They had lefty on mound and runners on - great situation to put in Vaughn as a pinch hitter (vs letting a .200 batter hit). Nope let the .200 batter hit. Over course of the season constantly tolerating shit out of the little things and putting your squad on bad situations compounds. Honest to god - he is as bad of a mgr as I have seen. Tham just watch the Angels run their shifts - dynamic depending on count and situation vs Sox vanilla shifts. Straight up incompetence. Players are part of it but mgr and willingness to not hold players accountable (honestly the one thing I thought he would do) is just beyond pathetic. FU White Sox for screwing up such a good team. This includes having a hitting coach who is doing the exact opposite of every team in baseball regarding launch angle.

  2. This season is so frustrating because everything looked so bright coming out of 2020. Its like this teams demise started once Tony LaRussa was hired. 😕

  4. Why haven't you made any moves to improve the current team? Was it this medical staff that advised you not to offer Carlos Rodon the QO? Why do you continue to misevaluate the free agent market? Why didn't you add an impact LHH? Why didn't you upgrade RF? Why didn't you upgrade the starting rotation? Why didn't you upgrade the defense? Why didn't you add more team depth? Why did you put so much money in the bullpen?

  8. You can see that the Sox organization is an absolute joke with player development Cesar Prieto and Oscar Colas were signed at 23 years old. Both decided to forfeit almost all of their contract to come stateside right away. Both being older were almost assuredly under the impression that if they were able to perform well that they would be on a faster track to the majors then other prospects. Both Prieto and Colas were raking at A+ for the first month. At that time the Baltimore Orioles promoted Prieto to AA. The Sox chose to keep Colas down, why, no reason why. A+ was solely intended to let both players shake off the rust and get used to American baseball and a routine. Its not been a month past when Prieto was promoted to AA. Colas is still at A+ and continuing to rake. Then comes Colson Montgomery who raked at A ball to a similar tune that Colas was doing at A+. Colson gets promoted to A+ while Colas is still forced to stay at A+. Then we have the Lenyn Sosa situation as he gets promoted from AA to the bigs while Colas is still stuck at A+ The Sox fucked up if this is the root cause of a perceived rift. Nothing surprising bc the guys running the organization at every position are straight trash. Colas should have been promoted a month ago plain and simple.

  10. I think my biggest problem/frustration is that if even Ricky Renteria were still here, we'd be seeing better out of Eloy, Yoan, and Robert (when healthy). He couldn't manage a bullpen, but the team was enjoyable and played hard for Ricky.

  11. Especially the Bulls. Look at all the shit the Bulls fans sat through while lining JRs pockets with cash. If he’s afraid of the tax, they aren’t going to win. I hope the people wHo give him all their money realize it and stop going to games, Get back to pre Jordan where they are lucky to draw 6k.

  14. No, that's the entire point. The NBA salary structures are a Byzantine maze that necessitate teams hiring capologists to help facilitate transactions. The Sox also have the seventh highest payroll in baseball, so they're spending money, they're just spending it real fucking poorly. A better question would be "why did you spend money on Leury and Harrison when you could have just signed Escobar and played Mendick on the MLB roster from the start?" Right now on RealGM you have Bulls fans upset that Dallas Keuchel's DFA might hurt the Bulls free agency dreams but they don't correlate.

  17. Jake Lamb was an all star for a season. He also was a mediocre player for the White Sox. A.J. Pollack once won a gold glove. He misplayed a ball at the wall against the Tigers in game one earlier this season and overran a catchable ball near the fence during a recent game against the Angels. The point is that many players have a single great season but fail to produce stellar performances over a career. Anyone is capable of having a big or outlier year. Few have the careers of Frank Thomas, Nellie Fox, or Luis Aparicio. In 2019 and 2020 I genuinely believed that the White Sox roster was packed with perennial All Star quality players --- Anderson, Abreu, Eloy, Grandal, Yoan, Luis, and Nicky Two Strikes. Now I believe that I was mistaken, except for Anderson and maybe Jose. Eloy, Yoan, and Luis are above average but unreliable performers on the field. Each may experience one, perhaps two great seasons, but not sustain excellence over the course of a lenghty career. Won't happen. Too many soft tissue injuries, poor command of the strike zone, lapses of concentration and effort in the field. The fear is that if Eloy, Yoan, or Luis is/are traded then soon thereafter the player will suddenly fulfill the great expectations we have had for him. But, that is unlikely to happen for any of those players. More likely, each will have a career liken to Avi Garcia or Jorge Soler rather than Aaron Judge or Mike Trout. Wishing and hoping doesn't make it happen. As to Nicky Two Strikes, he is injury prone and unreliable but in a trade with the Cubs the White Sox got a zero return, anyway. As to Gandal, he is mediocre at best behind the plate and only a streak hitter approaching old age in the life expectancy of a major league player. Besides, Grandal is injury prone, too. Lynn, Gio, Cease, are Kopech are single A quality players compared, for example, to Verlander in today's game. They have no resemblance whatsoever to Jemkins, Gibson, Spahn, Ford, and Robin Roberts who posted wonderful careers without extensive injury and had the capacity to pitch beyond the sixth inning. The White Sox are an average team without the roster that would justify the great expectations we had prior to this disappointing season.

  18. This is the most White Sox Bulls off-season you can imagine so far. Although, what is the equivalent of a non-elite reliever in the NBA? They need to sign more of those.

  27. The people here and mostly elsewhere defending Colas because it is hard being a minor leaguer are mouth breathers. Accusing your employer of treating you live a slave is ridiculous. I hope the Sox trade him the first second an offer even close to fair comes along.

  28. This is ridiculous. Colas wasn’t great in May and missed a bunch of time. He should be in AA but the White Sox aren’t doing anything nefarious here. If he were ready to play in the big leagues by midseason 2023, that’d be a huge benefit for the organization and they know it

  31. So TLR doesn't look at results because it's too easy that way? Seriously ? Who even says something like that? However at least that explains why Garcia with a .193 BA and a .480 OPS is a consistent starter and there is not a chance in h*** this team makes the playoffs this season. Thanks TLR.

  33. Hendriks has to actually be able to pitch before anyone is taking him on, and his contract is actually a major ding on his value as his luxury tax number is way above his salary. Giolito may turn this around but he’s legitimately been bad this year. People don’t give up big ticket value at the deadline for players who are struggling. Even if you are able to move those guys, you will not be getting top level big league ready players for them.

  34. Nobody wants any of those guys other than Abreu and Graveman. Players having bad seasons have minimal value. Go look at Grandal, Moncada and Giolito's baseball savant page. There is nothing that suggests they're about to turn it around in-season.

  35. Thought it was fake, but here is the video…🤦‍♂️ They asked him why he wasn’t pinch hit for in the 6th and Tony answers on why he hit in the 9th, not even listening to the question….moron

  36. That is the thing - they will do 2 or 3 things wrong every game and they aren’t just the usual errors. Those happen - the things I see, whether mgr not making the smart call or players not doing the little fundamental things to prevent someone from advancing or them advancing when they need to…it’s bad and it makes a difference and increases the margin to win and put streaks together.

  40. The best way to have people tolerate Tony is obviously to mock them for not being old. What if I told you that age has nothing to do with maturity, and a guy like Tony is a prime example with his multiple arrests and race based accusations, among his history? But apparently you are too old for that conversation.

  42. Man, Joe Cowley was moved off of the white Sox beat and they almost completely iced him out. I don't even like the guy because of his manufactured drama but he had to get in with the guillen kids for anyone to even tell him anything and not all sports media members are the same, if shit goes sideways with Josh Nelson, then he never gets to interview Hahn again oh well. Shit goes sideways with Shane and the Sox could totally pull access from the station for however long they want.

  44. Hendricks’ luxury tax number is $18M this year and next, but if his option is exercised for 2024 doesn’t it become $0 at that point? That could be highly valuable for the right club.

  45. You would be really selling low and get almost nothing for Grandal and Moncada. Players returning from injury and having poor seasons don't have much value.
