Can someone please get through to Schriffen that you don’t call people out until you can actually do it. 6 win teams don’t “have something for you” when you come to town, except to cure exactly what ails your team (except Tampa)

I like this. Have some pride even if it's contrived. I like his South Side talk too, I get the impression that he thinks about a baseball team's civic identity, what it might mean to the local community, and I'd support efforts to market the Sox as a neighborhood team rather than as a national or international brand. It might have the effect of international marketing anyway, a South Side Chicago team is objectively cool and everybody should want to imitate it. We have a global identity. I went to China once and met a woman who was obsessed with Lil Durk and less notable Chicago rappers, the South Side exists even in the Eastern imagination. We don't need another documentary about the hat, we need local initiatives. We already had a shooterz night which is a step in a direction, but I'm probably not the guy to ask about marketing.

I didn’t watch or follow this one, thank god. I hope Schriffen made sure to call out all of the haters today. What did the Sox end up having for the Twins, as he put it? Laying down and getting swept by them in two series in only one week? Maybe he will learn to zip it from now on.

The Twins are now on the verge of sweeping the Sox for the second time in a week. Perhaps Schriffen should stay quiet and realize that he is defending a 6-24 team entirely too hard. He hasn’t even been here for a year and he’s already another one of JR’s puppets.

You are what your record says you are and this team/organization maybe the worst in baseball. You don't like teams dissing you, laughing at you? Do something about it besides rolling over and dying.

Cash Considerations will be the White Sox's all-star representative.

Give Grady Sizemore the job. Because why the hell not.

It's strange how he's already doing the "Sox against everybody" thing when he's been on the job for about a month and has no real ties to the Sox being born in NYC. I guess tho that attitude is basically the only requirement for the job. It's certainly not baseball knowledge.

The enthusiasm will be cool if they're ever good again but the haters part is super lame. If you're an adult human and using the term "haters", you should probably re-evaluate your life.

If guys like Sosa don't get the chance to play through failure, they will never will succeed at the major league level. If guys like Sosa and Colas aren't mentally ready for the majors in a basic sense, maybe we should look at who oversaw the system when they were supposed to be learning how to be ready for the majors in terms of baseball IQ. If major league management can't teach these guys how to be major leaguers, maybe we should look at who is running the major league program. If a steady stream of minor leaguers isn't good enough to even serve as a potential pieces for the future, maybe we should look at the drafting and development people. You see how your excuses all have one common theme, right?

I like the line, but it would be really great if the Sox, were good. Now it's like an epic bat fip after hitting a homer into the first row of the bleachers to trim the deficit to 9-2 with 2 out in the 9th. No need to call anyone out when you are this bad.

Keller walked 2 in less than 2 innings the other night. Pedro talking about having to clean it up, well clean it up. You've been saying this for almost 200 games. Either you suck or the GM sucks or, most likely, you both suck.

My how things have turned from his original press conference where he talked about kicking everyone's ass. ?

I went to a concert last Thursday, and both the warm-up and the headliner made jokes about the White Sox futility.

So we now have two older prospects who Sox scouts viewed as ready for the big leagues already discarded a month later. Inspiring.

Getz signs bunch of veterans in the offseason. The rationale is so he can give the younger players time to marinate in the minors. The Sox have a record poor start to the season. Getz freaks out and calls up young prospects that struggle. He also signs more veterans and cuts several young players from the 40-man roster to make room for these veterans. Getz is a terrible GM.

Getz, not Hahn or Kenny, but Getz and only Getz had a horrible offseason and his frantic and ill-advised 40-man roster decisions in an attempt to fix things when those efforts are quite obviously futile have only made things worse. Anyone who doesn’t see this and can’t admit it must be blindly supporting Getz. Our GM is making decisions like a meth addict who ran out of his stash.

Last year I was at Disney World and they told my wife and I we could go to the front of the line since we were the closest two person group. A guy that we walked by told his group to "let the guy in the Sox shirt by, he's suffering."

Es swimming in millions he don't care

I can't say anything that has not been said. Just a trash team and no hope in sight. Jerry should be ashamed of himself.

Hes been pushing my buttons, that's for sure.

Has grifol pushed a right button once since he was hired?

Sheesh, I had to send out a few emails. I come back and it's 10-5

Offense stinks. Pitching stinks. Defense stinks. Manager stinks. For the love of god please make a change.

We're about to take back over our rightful position as WORST MLB team, so we've got that going for us. Miami and Colorado keep trying to wear the crown, but they really are no match for Captain Getz and Lieutenant Grifol.

Do I hear Gabe chanting "Trade Moncada?"

I love that there's like 10 people in the crowd and we can hear individual conversations from the fans on the mics.

I was going to rip bullpen and OF defense, but to what end? Our starting pitching is OK and thats about it. No reinforcements are on the way. There are a few guys in the minors and they are all a year away at the best. The only exception is Drew Thorpe, another starting pitcher. It looks to me we will have 3 100 loss teams in a row unless JR does us a favor and sells- or dies.

The error sucked, and Pedro is awful, but this bullpen is a leaking gas can with a roaring bonfire next to it. They're gonna need to figure out how to bring some stability to it or they're gonna struggle to win every day.

I’ve been enjoying Sheets let the opposition advance an extra base as he tries to throw out runners from deep RF

Quentin or Abreu. Probably Eloy? Or maybe Robert.

Fucking clown show. Get some god damn athletes on this team please.

Hadn’t looked at the numbers for the Sox players acquired in the Bummer trade lately….good lord, what a disaster of a return

I like how at one point you talk about these so-called "facts" you like to post, and then this is how you respond. And yes, Chris Getz is ruining my favorite baseball franchise, and I consider that really bad.

He's a competent starting big leaguer. That's cause for excitement around here but I don't think anybody is really too happy he's one of our best players.

It's funny Pham is the type of guy we should have signed last year and prior.

I have no faith that this team can hold onto or build upon a one run lead. They would have to go up by about 8 or 9 runs for me to feel comfortable about winning.

The Score is pretty broad though. They have numerous hosts with different thoughts. Most of those hosts were pretty tight with Benetti too. It's not just because of that though. The Sox let one of the best broadcasters in the country leave and they hired Schriffen because they finally found someone to take the job. I think John can be good. It hasn't been a great start though; starting with appearances on Bulls and Hawks broadcasts trying to get fans excited about a team that will be bunting and playing the game the right way. Barf.

If the Score is upset about it, I almost have to like it.

Nothing more cringey than calling Stoney “The Legend” numerous times each broadcast.

His arm is as good as any in the system, but he is further away from that ceiling. If the Sox were trading any of their dog water type players, a guy like Thompson would be a smart return in an attempt to capture more ceiling. The bigger problem is the short term thinking that leads to a guy like Thompson essentially being lost for nothing. That's just stupid as a team who is YEARS away.

A 23 year old SP prospect, ya know, the kind of player a rebuilding team should be hoarding not discarding. Thompson: 2.77 ERA in AA currently. Horn: Given away for practically nothing one month into the season after putting up an 11 ERA in AAA. Mena: 4.03 ERA in AAA currently. Fletcher: Demoted one month into the season after being unable to play defense or hit.

It is a trade that takes place for a minimal amount of cash. Anything over one million dollars has to go to the commish's office for approval, so it is automatically less than that. Typically it is a very small amount just so that they can call it a "trade", maybe in the thousands, but as low as literally a dollar.

But the knock-off brands. Dr. Thunder, Mountain Mist, Sprint Lemon, Fantuz Orange...

Yeah, weird he would be doing something that the person who gives him money and an incredible opportunity tells him to do.

what a bone-headed idea it was to wave Maldonado home. one out and the heart of the order is up, let's have the slowest guy in existence challenge Correa's arm.

I wonder what that could be

Making excuses to Getz dumping guys for nothing he couldn't develop in his former role is a choice.

After trading a 23 year old 2nd round starting pitcher for him, who is now having success with the Cubs.
