So the idiot that was supposed to create depth for that rebuild "deserves" a shot?

well i'm glad you had those other 3000 posts of "this team is poopy" on your record instead of reading like 40 words

A DIFFERENT SOX BOARD?!?

Are we sure it didn't come from outside the stadium?

What Crochet is doing this year is what I envisioned when they drafted him. Just pure filth.

I am not sure what you intended with this post, but you just put up a whole lot of reasons why expecting the Sox to bring in successes in free agency is a fallacy.

Some teams build good AA rosters without needing to trade a top 15 pitcher in baseball.

We've lost 14 in a row, setting the ALL TIME FRANCHISE RECORD. But how many times have we been shut out this month? Zero. Checkmate haters.

After he's been with the org for 7 seasons and mostly failed for 6.5 of them, yes.

Imagine defending a guy who failed to develop players in his previous role (the very purpose of his job) and whom one of the worst owners in two professional sports then promoted to the most important job with the team without even interviewing another candidate.

? Sportsguy gonna bust in here like Kool-Aid man and start lecturing you.

Mark me down as one who doesn’t care if the Sox trade Robert. He’s currently on a 120-loss pace team. If they want to get bodies from other teams for Robert or Crochet, go for it. Chances are we’re bad until ownership changes anyway.

Stand up needs to go.

Gonzalez showing that he's an actual prospect has been one of the better developments this year. So far in his minor league career, 47bb/55k.

Sorry I'm late

Not at all, he was just doing the interview. Plenty of reasons to not care for Schriffen as a broadcaster, but this is kind of a lame thing to just throw out there.

Why the f*** is an MSU athlete in the booth? MUTE.

To be fair, a piece of the blame for this mess is because he and his teammates can't stay on the field for a decent period of time

43 years as the Sox owner, setting clear spending patterns on what he will and will not do. We've had an all time high of 75 million dollars, for a FA contract. But I'm sure at age 88, he's going to completely change that, because 'advisors'.

2027 is a long way away. An eternity in baseball years. Saying this is just doom and gloom or younger folks speaking.

Amazing how you b1tch and moan about people misrepresenting your past posts and then you come up with this pile of sh1t post that is a complete and utter lie. No one ever said those players would make the Sox competitive this season. People wanted to acquire guys like that solely to serve as flip candidates. Now why don’t you update us on the no shutout streak stat again? ?

Kicking the can for the next competitive team to 2028 is unacceptable and this fan base should not tolerate it.

Well, Idiot #3 was hired because he was supposed to be able to do this fast. So, realistically, he deserves to be fired after this season. But since you're right that he's not going to be fired, he should actually try to build a winner. I'm just irked at the notion that he deserves a shot at a rebuild, because that implies he wasn't a key factor in the last one failing.

15-48 isn’t rock bottom????

I’m just now starting to sit down and watch the game. Hysterical… Shriffin is all jazzed, “I have a feeling!!! Tonight is the NIGHT… the losing streak is OVER!” Stone is sitting in the background with thoughts clear as day, “don’t count on it buddy” while he just waits for some airtime in putting down his assignment from the higher ups… ”talk up Paul dejung” And within two pitches the game is already lost. ???

Chris Getz making marquee trades frightens me. If he though this catastrophe would be competitive, I sure as hell can’t put any faith in his talent evaluation. This team is so fucked for the foreseeable future.

If he faced our lineup:

Gavin Sheets is not an every day big leaguer. Give someone else a shot.

Hoping crochet goes 8 with 11 Ks and we lose 1-0 to extend the streak

I wouldn't read too much into that...cause it was mostly the lazy admins like me forgetting to approve since april. ?

Very true. Dombrowski was hired as an intern and Roland Hemond quickly saw his potential. He moved up in the front office. When Hawk took over, given that Dave was Roland's protegee, he fired him. I'm guessing Hawk just wanted his own people in all positions. This is from the chapter I wrote on Hawk's tenure for Dr. Fletcher's next White Sox book: "Hemond protegee Dave Dombrowski, who was an administrative assistant, was let go because of philosophical differences. (Dombrowski would go on to a stellar front office career with Montreal, Florida, Detroit, Boston and Philadelphia making the World Series five times, winning twice)."

It's not really though. The ultimate boss is still the same.

We lost about 15 projected WAR just losing the #1 pick next year and dropping to 10. The new rules, that I'm sure dipshit JR helped create, just fucked us hard. Super hard. Teams this bad always prior would get a guaranteed lock starter at worst (9/10) out of that 1,1 spot. We just got buggered raw.

And the same ol’ owner, that truly makes the decisions.

“Here’s all the bad tier 3 free agents the Sox wasted their money on rather than reeling in a Harper or Machado and Wheeler…”

They also had the luxury of drafting highly in consecutive seasons and they already had a good farm and had been bad for a while by then. Same with the 2013 Astros. That rebuild started in 2009 and it took them until 2015 to win 85 games. Those teams had more to work with when they were horrible.

Man seems to forget that the Sox had 10 top 100 prospects at one point on top of prime Abreu, TA and lazarus pit Rodon.

The hilarious thing is you have no idea what you are talking about, and the reason I know that is because I know how many times I have suspended and banned the guy over the years. But you keep chasing your windmills buddy.

It's funny how he hasn't developed anything, but as soon as he's put in charge, 2 of our minor league teams are ranked in the top 5 of all affiliated minor league teams in organized baseball. And our pitching development is beginning to be recognized by national guys. I guess it's fun to flog a meme. Paying attention to reality developing right before your eyes is a little harder.

Y'all are taking the wrong lesson from the failed 2016-17 rebuild. They are competitive faster trading Robert and Crochet than keeping them.

I call bull s%*#. Robert isn't going anywhere. His value has never been lower, you have 3.5 years of Robert, bad for optics with the s%*# being served up by this organization right now. Build around Robert and crochet

Easier to sell than Chris Getz’s 120 loss team.

I thought it was sad White Sox fans were still watching this game in the 9th inning.

Then they should bury him.

Kids, just say no to crack.

This team is bad but our level of suckitivity is inflated by Pedro Grifol. I don't claim to be a baseball genius but I know I could have gotten at least 10 more Ws out of this roster than our bonehead manager has (and I think Ozzie could have gotten 20-25 more). So don't blame 100% of our suckitivity on Getz (unless you know he has the authority to fire this bozo)

A few months too late. His value was never going to be higher than this past offseason when he had just had an entire healthy year. But yes, trade anyone of value.

It's not like Robert is going to be a part of the next competitive team. It would be foolish to hold onto him if there is a good deal on the table. Get it done with Seattle.
