This reeks of just that. I don't know how anyone can see this as anything but a Jerry decision. I wouldn't be surprised if Hahn does leave. At a certain point when you realize you are in an organizational structure like this, you collect a paycheck or move on. There just isn't value in pushing back.

And then you complain about the horrible treatment your wife has received. If you want a civil society that doesn't demean people, try creating one with your comments. Man things sure do go over your head. I was saying you can't just say words and claim they mean something else. My wife being harassed by government officials, degraded and demeaned in the way she was is disgusting. You comparing a fan discussing a baseball manager on a public message board and calling him a moron, to a federal agent, whose salary I absolutely do pay, intimidating, screaming at, and verbally abusing my wife while calling her a liar while having her locked in a room is one of the most absurd things I've ever heard. The fact that you think those two things are similar certainly says a lot more about you than it does about me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And considering Hinch is the guy Hahn wanted, it seems fair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hi8is Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 “He fvcking won”, says Chuck Garfien on the latest Sox talk podcast accidentally at about the 30 minute mark. ”he freaking won,” he quickly said... correcting himself. 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 19 minutes ago, South Side Hit Men said: Correct. In fact, the White Sox have no players under contract who were on a Major League roster in 2011, the last time Tony LaRussa managed (unless team options on Edwin or Gio are exercised). Baseball has changed a lot over the past decade, both on the field and in the clubhouse. “It’s been a long time since I rock and rolled.” - Robert Plant, who is 4 years younger than Tony LaRussa Robert Plant continues to tour every year so it really hasn't been a long time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Look at Ray Ray Run Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Managers are not players bosses. Players make 10 times the money a manager does. People who compare this to their jobs are comparing apples to oranges. If I made 20 times as much as my manager, I would know I'm the one who is in control; I'd know that because the people in actual charge determined I was 20 times more valuable to the companies success than this guy bossing me around. Players have taken can control and its on managers and coaches to adjust. This took time but its come full circle with the modern player. The reason a GM still has some authority over players is because they can still fire them in theory. Managers have no leverage. They're less valuable, paid less, and can't fire anybody. That said, this isn't basketball or football and no one is demanding a trade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 In the business world I would compare a manager to a project manager. They're important, they keep everything organized, they put everyone in the proper place, but they're not the most important, they're not the highest paid, and they're easily replaceable unless you have an amazing one.

I assume it came from Tony's "observational analytics" (which is nonsense and honestly feels like a phrase that he cooked up just so he could put the word "analytics" on his resume).

SonofaRoache Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 1 hour ago, Balta1701 said: They were told 3 weeks+ ago that Hinch was a possibility/likely. We know that from Keuchels' twitter. The day of Hahn's interview it came out that TLR was the front runner by the Sox mouth piece. At that point players had to know it was a legit thing. 2 weeks ago most fans figured TLR was a serious candidate even if we believed he wouldn't get the job. At that point the players should have taken a stand if they didn't want him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
