    Who in the hell is Rafael Ortega??

    Garbage. Just let Fletcher play see if he improves. Or Colas. This is more dumb. Getz has spent every bit of leeway I was willing to give. He's worse than I expected which is crazy.

    That headline is clickbait. If you watch the full 3 minutes he's actually about as positive as can be about it, surprisingly. I thought he'd go scorched earth. 

    I agree. That quote is definitely not the sentiment of the interview....at all.

    I don't think pitching Wilson here was a terrible idea.

    The quote Pedro, what can you do?

    The problem is not having established roles in the pen. Kopech has been attempting to close and Wilson has been largely setup. I don't undeserved pitching Wilson yesterday, and I don't understand flip flopping their "roles" tonight. If he went Wilson Kopech and blew it fine.

    Unless I’m just misremembering, that would be the last White Sox manager to be legit fired in season. Almost 30 years ago. 

    I believe you are correct. And he was among the most competent, successful Sox managers in my lifetime.

    At this point, you just kind of have to fire somebody, right? Manager, hitting coach, bat boy... 

    In any other organization yes. I would have no doubt it'd be coming soon.

    He’s such a piece of s%*# manager he won’t even get to 69 wins in 200 games

    Gene Lamont was 11 - 20 in 1995 with a career .551 winning percentage when he was fired. There is no logic, consistency, competency, desire, or pride here. Just pure failure.

    One of the worst starts in the history of the sport, and our owner is nowhere to be seen telling the fans this is unacceptable.  I was at a huge travel baseball tournament in the suburbs this weekend, and there was maybe 5 Sox hats to be seen.  There’s usually about 50.

    Was at a regular Sox bar on the south side Saturday night. They had the cubs game on all tvs with sox nowhere to be found.

    JR isn’t firing him until very near the end of the season at the earliest. It’s a lost season, he’s not making any more money regardless, and he’s not gonna pay a second manager.

    I'll respectfully disagree. If they were 7 - 12 maybe, but at 3 - 16 it's getting absurd. They're gonna leave Philly 3 - 18 and are facing the possibility of falling 20 under .500 in April.

    He knows as well as we do that nothing he does will make the team better (not that he has the ability anyway) and that he will never get a major league job again after this. I’m sure he’s just sitting back and cashing the checks as long as they keep coming.

    Well therein lies the problem. Can't change the culture with a loser who accepts losing. No I agree this team will be bad under anyone but just giving up is horrible for young players to be around and that seems to be all this clown does. The sooner he's gone the better.

    I wouldn't promote him to Charlotte. The barons are winning. Let him be a part of that. Learn to be on winners. Charlotte will frustrate him.

    Absolutely the correct assessment.
