Quin

Dear diary, Today, Greg, Green Line, Caulfield, SS2k5, chitown, fathom and I agreed on the outlook of the White Sox. Shits fucked, - Quin

We've got our own Tungsten Arm O'Doyle stat!

Well now I feel sad

I'm not unconvinced that MLB: The Show could be a better GM and manager

Grandal at least put up a good 2020 and good (albeit injured) 2021. Let me show you the video that sums up Maldonado's seasons before signing with the Sox:

Deserves every penny of that $4M. After all, we've been told ad nauseum that it was Grandal holding the team back and that once he was gone, any catcher would be an upgrade.

Changeup on that strikeout was nasty

Well, Jerry is the obvious answer

But what about the campfire milkshake?!

I love that the league tons of anti-tanking rules and Getz is operating as if none of them were put in place.

Bro it's not even May

I should probably add that the no-rush rotation lasted until April and they don't even have injuries to blame. Just pure suck.

I love that us Getz detractors were told ad nauseum that pitchers like Flexen, Clevinger, Soroka and Fedde were brought on board specifically to avoid rushing guys like Nastrini and Cannon. And here we are.

Maldonado Gang rise up!

It has also been shown — repeatedly — that Reinsdorf only moves on from the status quo if that status quo is national embarrassment. It's why Thibs got canned (leaking stuff to the press that show Bulls dysfunction), why GarPax got jettisoned (the ASG protests), KW/Hahn finally being fired, etc. Now imagine if the status quo is national embarrassment? Getz has done f*** and all to show that he can put together a roster, with his best MLB acquisition so far being (using fWAR for the sake of something quantifiable)...Kevin Pillar and Steven Wilson. So a guy that they dicked around in free agency and a reliever that was part of a trade package for their ace. Pedro will be this year's sacrificial lamb, but if they're hysterically bad (I'm talking minus-60 wins) while Reinsdorf is trying to get a stadium deal — Getz might actually feel heat. If he gets them to even 70 wins, his job is safe.
