I hope my point was clearer. Individuals come and go, yet the problems somehow have taken root and stayed. The franchise has a net losing record over it's history and it will take decades to ever change that. One man isn't going to change that on a long term basis, only temporary. So we enjoy the upside seasons together and when the downside seasons happen, which we know they will, I'll complain that it's been that way all my life and you point to someone in a new position and believe they will fix it.

Excitement isn't a commodity to be sold to the public. You can't be the same excited about a 40 win team as a playoff team, or no one believes you. You have to respect your audience knows what their watching.

The riverwalk is excellent, and would be amazing to expand on. The Highline in NYC is also an incredible part of urban engineering and innovative way to squeeze a park in an area that sells itself in square inches.

Keep doing what you're doing. You guys are providing great information here, not made up hyperbolic hysteria.

Tell that to the Dodgers rotation of Skubal, Yamamoto, Snell and Glasnow. You need pitching, but you also need to out slug your opponent.

The first three innings of all 4 games the Dodgers dominated. After that, the Brewers dominated.

Analytics told us the Dodgers struggled with pitches over 96 MPH and they are out. Struggled is an understatement I think they were hitting around .200 as a collective.

Again...to each his own...but to me Scriffen's "passion" seemed incredibly forced...and intentionally theatric! Benetti's excitement seemed genuine to me...showed it when it was real! Agree though...he ain't coming back which makes me look forward to Sox TV again!

I changed the title as it was 100% reactionary to seek the firing but I do think there is a debate to be had over this. I had never heard of either of these gentlemen before coming to the Sox and their approach seemed to be their undoing previously but let's hope there is some growth with them and the White Sox.

Sox fans complained when the Sox didn't use analytics. Getz did mention the strike outs in his presser so it will be addressed .

Watch the Brewers come out flat as the World Series doesn’t start until a week from today.

Baseball itself, in the year since Los Angeles' dominant sweep of these Brewers in the 2025 NLCS, evolved enough to make the Dodgers' style of play look antiquated, even dusty. During the regular season, Los Angeles had the third-slowest team bat speed in MLB and the second-lowest hard-swing rate. They ranked 25th in team sprint speed; Milwaukee ranked 1st. From Aug. 18, the date of Ohtani's last regular-season long ball, the allegedly contact-merchant Brewers hit just three fewer homers than the Dodgers. Even where the 100-win Dodgers shined, the 103-win Brewers topped them. The only team with a higher average fastball velocity than Los Angeles in these playoffs? Milwaukee. The game is quicker now, and the Dodgers, so long the cutting-edge force in the sport, failed to keep up. yahoo.com/sports

Schriffen though not a great announcer had more passion than Benetti but not showing up for the playoff clinching game probably sealed Schriffen’s fate, my guess if he wanted to arrangements could have been made to call the clinching game, bottom line, he’s gone.

Who knows if Kolson will ever hit 31 runs again.

Too funny that you think pitching grows on trees, apparently. Like they can just snap their fingers and magically it will appear. Colson will still be with the Sox or another major league team in April. He's definitely not going to Charlotte, and you have no way of knowing how much his back/disc problems contributed to his struggles. If you're not starting Colson, you're moving Antonacci to the infield and Meidroth to SS, worsening the defense at two positions. And where are you going to going to find an additional 30-35 homers? The Sox have 1 1/2 starting pitchers for 2027 as it stands...even if two are coming internally, you're going to have to sign one legit middle of the rotation guy and one back end 4/5 insurance policy. Who and who are they? If you argue Hagen or Taylor should start, how exactly are you replacing them in the bullpen? Otherwise, it's Burke Martin Kay and Shoulder Impingement Castillo/an uncertain recovery process.

The Sox aren't going to publicly express concern about Colson or Murakami failures in the 2nd half when they each batted around .160 (Mune Aug-Sept). Both had very little to do with the Sox 2nd half success; they were just along for the ride. We all know this, except you, including the White Sox. They'll attempt to improve both in the offseason or will eventually let them go or minors for Colson before the end of the 2027 season. Colson might not even make it out of spring training. Mune will because of his contract even if he's still not hitting. Hilarious that you single out Braden as a non-threat who hit roughly 50 pts higher than Colson & Mune "down the stretch". Sub .200 hitters seldom contribute to a championship and are rarely even on a successful postseason team. Hopefully they won't make the same mistake with Bonemer (or others) that they did with Colson and rush him to the majors before he deserves it. And hopefully both Colson's & Mune's careers have not been ruined and are recoverable. No, you add good pitching before you retain sub .200 hitters. Unreal that you think the opposite is a better solution that does not "provide the most opportunities to score runs". Too funny!

I don’t see it as a “baseball” problem. More like an “assclown” problem.

this is Brooks’ Seinfeld character

So John decided to so some UFC s%*# instead of showing up for the last series of the year? Speaks to two things: 1) The Sox are cheap 2) John is the sort of "talent" they attract. Time to change things up.

That one takes the cake, though I’m a fan of this one: Ah yes, the erroneous and biased information that we’re spreading by quoting Crain’s articles.

And the Yankees won 2

Holy hell, I didn't know that was his injury. When I had that happen to me in college, it was like I lost all strength in my arm.

Dallas. Keuchel.

Two factoids today: October 16, 1952 - The Sox sent infielder Willie Miranda to the St. Louis Browns in a trade. So what? Well, consider this; it marked the third time in four months that he was dealt between the two clubs! Miranda was traded to the Browns on June 15… 13 days later the Sox re-acquired him and finally on this date they sent him back. The entire situation developed like this. He was traded along with Al Zarilla to the Browns for Tom Wright and Leo Thomas on June 15. The Browns then waived him on June 28, the Sox claimed him and he returned. Then on October 16 he was sent back to St. Louis along with Hank Edwards for Joe DeMaestri and Tommy Byrne. October 16, 2005 - The White Sox won their sixth league championship beating the Angels 6-3, taking the series 4-1. Jose Contreras fired the fourth consecutive complete game by the staff in the clinching game #5. The four consecutive post season complete games hadn’t been seen in Major League Baseball since the 1956 Yankees pulled it off. After losing the first game of the A.L.C.S. the Sox swept away Los Angeles. Paul Konerko was named the A.L.C.S. M.V.P. as he hit .286 with six hits, two home runs and seven RBI’s in the five-game series. The city of Chicago, especially on the South Side and in the South suburbs went wild as the nuclear scenario happened for Cub fans…. the Sox were in the World Series!

For now, what happens when they start playing again is anybody's guess. My guess is that even Getz will draw the line at throwing him out there and getting hammered game after game after game.
