In fairness he deserves a better roster to prove himself with I'd have to agree. maybe it's just for a couple seasons when the team should have real talent on it, then they'll evaluate and see how well he performs with a roster full of major league quality players.

Buehrlesque Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Technically, all this really means is that Ricky is guaranteed more money should he be fired at at any point in 2019 or 2020. Which I think is a good thing for him. With the White Sox though, you never know if it's an iron-clad sign of unflinching confidence.

Superstar Lamar Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Quote Joe Maddon sits across town having to endure a lame duck year after being to the playoffs four years in a row and winning a world series but Ricky gets the comfort of an extension? Strange world. I doubt there was anyone beating down the door to get him if he didn't have an extension. Maybe they think it gives them an advantage in FA to let a player know there is a consistency in management 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I can't wait for Anderson and Moncada to be benched for no reason while guys who actually aren't hustling get rewarded. I would be fine with his system if he were consistent, but he tends to bench his better players for crimes that are far less egregious than what the rest of the team does.

sin city sox fan Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 The money we saved from not hiring a decent manager should afford us more flexibility in signing Harper and Machado. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way teams are going through hitting coaches, you know letting him get close to being a free agent would be a costly mistake. Trick’s boys don’t hit.

pcq Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I am really disappointed. I have seen a lack of strategy leadership and personality that should disqualify him. I do not feel he is an MLB manager. He will not guide us to or through the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Yeah this really sucks and makes me question what this front office is thinking. Like when did this happen, because it’s not like we’ve seen great results from our young talent since Ricky became manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
