    See you always go off the rails on a rant. I asked you a simple question and all you can come up with is your personal opinion of Hahn and your idea of common sense which contradicts anything printed from the media. Hahn "demanding" Kelly start is a huge leap from Cairo, Katz and the front office making that decision together. Common sense does not allow that much of a leap.Common sense does not extent to Hahn making on field decisions especially with some of the things we've heard all season about TLR being the driving force behind some acquisitions.

    I don't let my personal grudges get in the way of an impartial thought process. If I have to stick up for Hahn in one instance out of 100 where your imagination and bias gets the better of you so be it. That does not make him my boy. Hahn blows. He is the driving force that has derailed any chance at a championship or sustained success with his terrible moves. JR and TLR are a very close second.

    Cal, you’ve always been full of s%*#, and always will be.

    Tony, Cairo and Katz have been in baseball over a half century, with absolutely zero use or advocation of an opener.

    Hahn has been reported to be involved in two lineup decisions, both involved openers and both blew up in his pathetic cowardly face.

    Them there are the facts, believe what you want to believe.

    No matter how much we all b**** about how bad the Sox have been (i've given up more than once) they are still the class of the division, and perhaps more . now that LaRussa is gone, I have high hopes that, at the very least, we will make the post-season, and then, who knows . i'll take our staff of Dylan Cease, Michael Kopech, Johnny Cueto, and Lucas Giolito over anyone's.

    Don’t forget Steak, he has been sizzling and likely the #2 behind Cease. Think Cueto or Kopech works out of the bullpen in the playoffs, depending on Kopech’s health.

    So is Gavin Sheets for real?

    I feel like if you bring back Abreu, you gotta trade Vaughn. This team needs to get more athletic, more left-handed, and Eloy needs to DH more (not that that is a guarantee they would). Colas likely comes up early next year for one corner spot and either a free agent or trade candidate plays the other. Preferably a left-handed bat.

    I’m looking for quality everyday players over platoon guys / LH with flaws. Sheets is not a major league starter, but they are forcing it because he hits LH. Pollock was also supposed to hit RHP, but he is old, expensive and can’t hit anybody (or play RF as Hahn crowed about post trade). He is the typical Hahn acquisition.

    Bring in quality players who can hit and field, period. Seems to work for RH heavy Toronto. They have five hitters at 2.7 - 3.8 bWAR, with another five at 1.3 - 2.2. The Sox have two (Abreu and Robert) and two (Harrison and Anderson), respectively.

    Sox make it more difficult by not adding any runs to early leads.  Grandal hitting 5 th has hurt us today.  He should be hitting lower in the order IMO.

    Grandal should only catch Lynn and Cueto at this point, and not DH on off days. Agree he should drop as well in the order.

    Zavala 153 ABs 0.9 bWAR

    Grandal  264 ABs -0.7 bWAR

    Wish Hahn would have kept McGwire as well, far more valuable than Diekman.

    Absolutely brutal watching these 1B in the OF

    The solution is Vaughn DH/1B in 2023, Sheets in AAA or traded, LH RF signed (Conforto) or if Colas is ready, promotion in May.

    Still want Abreu back at 1B on a reasonable 1 year plus option deal if he wants to continue playing.

    No matter what happens, Sheets should not be on the active roster beyond a rash of injuries in 2023, and neither Vaughn or Sheets should be allowed to own, let alone wear, an OF glove as a member of the White Sox.

    So I assume Cairo blasted Elvus in the postgame, right?

    A bigger issue was a player with a checkered history of being undisciplined and uncoachable ignoring a take sign at worst or missed it at best. 

    Glad Tony was around to teach him discipline. No manager should condone an opposing team hitting their player, especially for something is absurd as "the unwritten rules".

    2007 - "This will never happen again".

    2020 - "Oops. I did it again".
