An empty chair would be great

Getz had an awesome offseason and a terrible trade deadline. As much as I hate the Castillo deal and lost my mind a few weeks back demanding Getz get fired, that was an incredibly stupid take. Right now, Getz has done enough over the past 12 months to remain GM of the White Sox. Whether he is the long term answer remains to he seen and the Castillo trade was so egregious that I think it’s ok to have some doubts. This coming offseason will be critical for Getz as he has to take a talented but flawed team and make them far more complete. And he has to do that now with Luis Castillo eating up $24M in payroll space. He also has to fix the pitching developments woes of the organization and start building up a pipeline of minor league arms. His success or failure as GM goes well beyond the major league results and there is still more work to do in fixing the foundations.

Losing the 78 to Joe Mansueto was a kick to the groin. How much say do you think Ishbia had in the matter? If Justin could have got the 78 and continue to develop the rail yard it would have been the best of both worlds.

Take your own advice.

Many? Wait, wut?

Time comes for everyone. Eventually their skills erode and they just become a sad shell of themselves depending on a schtick instead of substance.

I’m not being rude. You were either trolling or just straight up lying. You said you’d rather have one of the worst hitters in baseball be our starting catcher in a do or die playoff game over our young stud catcher because we win more with him behind the plate and his catcher ERA is better. And despite your “check the stats” post, that’s factually untrue. Kyle Teel’s CERA is 0.25 points better than Drew Romo’s on the season. The stupidity of the post itself and the arrogance behind the false “facts” justifying reflect an all time low for this message board. If you aren’t a troll, which I am certain you are, then god bless your soul. Honestly, I am going to be rude now because I think you suck either way as a poster and bring the quality of this message board down. I have one poster on ignore because he is also a blatant troll, but looks like I must have two now. At least I can watch my team in the playoffs without your s%*# posts ruining the vibes. And guess what, you can enjoy jerking off in your mom’s basement to your rage bait posts riling up a Sox fan. Looks like we both come out as winners! f*** trolls. f*** Green Line. f*** Cleveland. Go White Sox! White Sox in 5!

There is a way. If you have Audacy or SiriusXM. You can pause TV/Radio to match and mute the TV. Your TV you will have to be able to pause because usually the radio is ahead. Regular radio will be ahead but the streaming apps may be behind the TV and you can pause those.

Me too. If there was, I probably would have done it all season.

No but he excels at introducing his partner every game as "my guy".

I wish there was a way to sync the tv broadcast with radio so we could listen to Len and DJ and watch at the same time.

Too bad we have to listen to Cleveland fan, Ron Darling, tonight. He may as well wear a Guardians hat and a Ramirez jersey while broadcasting this series.

Didn't see many willing to trade Bonemer. Not even for Detmers.

I would have been happy with Schriff doing the ALDS, Alex Faust doesn't do it for me.

That’s not what I was saying. I view the prospects in the Castillo deal the ceiling of what Getz was willing to sacrifice. Some fans wanted to trade everyone short of Roch Cholowski. Not Getz though

By the way, the average prediction was 70-92. Not four consecutive 100 loss seasons. The majority of fans noticed an offensive improvement in the second half of 2024, mostly Teel and Colson, and also noted the 1-2 run and extra innings losses would start to equalize with a better bullpen. BTW It's going to be a LONG off season if every thread is arguing Getz essentially worked more miracles than Mother Teresa, since the Sox made the postseason, not in Southsider2k5's quite obviously sarcastic and hyperbolic 2030 target year, but in "just" 2 1/2 seasons. So, basically mirroring the Orioles' and Royals' recent ascents.

It appears that the "Fire Getz" position is he should have never been hired in the first place and nothing else matters.

There will be zero heat on Getz as long as JR owns this team. The day Ishbia buys the team, the heat index goes from 0 degrees to inferno. Getz will be toast on day 1 of the new ownership.

2030. You piled on, also. I've challenged everyone here to tell me about how they asked to be fired when their boss was fired because they were also "heavily involved" in their boss's ineptitude. Nobody ever did. That's not a thing. Stop clowning yourself.

Guardians 4-5 at home vs. Sox 4-4 on the road 8-9 overall

"He made a series of moves so poor it restricted his ability to do even more damage" isn't exactly going to be a go to quote on the MLB Executive of the Year plaque/trophy.

WE Nobody ever said it should take 6 1/2 years to build a contender Your favorite mod made a sarcastic comment about contending by 2029 and you decided to run with it. You also realize if CLE wins tmrw it will be a 4/26 occurrence in MLB history. 13% probability isn't going to win any Nobel Prizes...even in authoritarian states. Also, Getz was heavily involved in producing 3 consecutive years of historic ineptitude from his position as Asst. GM.

The fact that the White Sox are playing in game 5 of the ALDS says to me that Chris Getz should be given the Nobel Peace Prize, the Congressional Medal of Honor, 2 Emmies and his own franchise on the condition that he teach all the other teams how to be as great. Do I sound bitter? I haven't paid for a drink or sobered up since the regular season ended. Cub fans kidnap me and make me watch them burn all their Cub stuff because my happiness has converted them to being Sox fans. I try to walk 2 miles every day, but I can't go more than about 10 steps before I'm hoisted up on a mob's shoulders, and they carry me into another tavern. Crazy stuff.

Its so "glorious" yet you come on here bitter, foaming at the mouth because Green Line has a different opinion that makes you uncomfortable. Makes a lot of sense. I wont even get into how embarrassingly, historically wrong your takes on the trade deadline were because everyone knows what happened there. Hopefully you can enjoy the game tomorrow regardless of the fact that Chris Getz is awful at his job.
