No winning team will be ever be built around Luis Robert. LOL.

Crochet wasn't traded because of perceived "cheapness", but you just keep posting that every 15 minutes.

They traded him because they're in a rebuild and needed the offensive players they could get in return. This particular player doesn't really have anything to do with Reinsdorf's "cheapness". BTW, Reinsdorf paid Buehrle, Sale and Quintana. So, RIP to that canard.

They don't really do Tommy John surgery for a hamstring tweak, but you could always hope.

So it makes pitchers feel better if the player kicking the ball around has been doing it longer?

Ellard to the IL, Eisert back up.

Still waiting for you to name one GM who had no losing seasons while completely overhauling the organization.

I so want to belong to the cool squad, so please clear this up for me. Guys like Oscar Colas should be playing on the big league team to "see what we have", but Brooks Baldwin shouldn't be learning how to play LF and RF in the bigs because it's demoralizing for the pitchers when he makes a mental miscue, but somehow, miscues by guys like Oscar Colas or somebody like Al Canario make pitchers feel better?

Maybe you'll have an answer to my question by 2027.

Nick Maton is on the team because Brandon Drury broke his thumb. Travis Jankowski got a few platoon starts because Mike Tauchman was injured. Matt Thaiss plays more than Korey Lee for the same reason they call LHHs the "strong" side of a platoon. There are more righties in the game than lefties. You have no point to prove. The Sox have to play the games on their schedule. They don't have the talent at the upper levels to fill the big league roster. So they signed cheap 30-year-olds, a noted market inefficiency. And seriously, correcting your weird hyperbole isn't "kissing ass".

Where do you come up with this stuff? I follow the team. When they're uninteresting, I tune out. I find the rebuild interesting. I don't know why you guys need me to buy into this good/bad binary, where I cry when it's "bad", and grumpily avoid acknowledging the "good". I'm not even really a Getz "fan". I groaned when he was promoted, but it's not like they picked a guy from the wilderness, had to teach him how to speak, and then made him GM. I've acknowledged moves I didn't like, then I move on. I don't need to post on every active string every day that I hated the Maldonado and Clevenger signings. Not doing that seems to register as supporting and liking those moves. I'd expect the Sox to be trending towards a .500 team next year. Feel free to take a victory lap after every single loss.

No, actually, I really don't complain about Reinsdorf's spending, and I actually believe that he spends when they're competitive. My question is why do you guys need my approval to validate your complaints about Getz? Like, when I finally give up and start complaining about Getz, you all will finally know that you were right?

And unsurprisingly, you were wrong.

I answer this every single time it's asked. You must not read the comments, here. When the prospects get a full season on the pro team, then I will be looking for them to start winning. When they're still trying to filter out the bad players under contract, when they're still operating under a teeny tiny budget because they don't really have a RSN deal, yet, and while they're still in year 2 of their rebuild, I'm not going to scream about every single loss. As far as "holding Getz accountable", what does that even look like? Do I buy the White Sox and fire him? Are you expecting me to get online and scream about every single move he makes and doesn't make? Complaining irrationally isn't "holding someone accountable". So I'll ask you, when will you start to hold Getz accountable, because you haven't, as of yet.

Wait a minute!!! Are you saying that two guys who can prop up their phone and make videos of themselves talking about things ALSO posted a graphic on the internet? Why didn't you say you were referencing such credible sources?!? LOL. It's a rebuild, and his budget was cut. I've already asked you to show me some rebuilds other GMs have conducted where they only went to the playoffs every year of the rebuild. The pitching rotation is 4 rookies. Does that make you happy? Four of their regular starters have less than 2 years' service time. Why aren't you happy about that? 5 of the 8 bullpen arms start the season with less than 2 years' service time. Benintendi and Robert have guaranteed contracts, and they have to produce to get traded. You're basically complaining about Matt Thaiss and Nick Maton getting starts, and Travis Jankowski getting platoon starts in the first 12 games. So basically, Getz is starting as many rookies from the organization that can play baseball right now. Making sense really isn't your strong suit.

Do you seriously not know this?

He actually has made a bunch of changes since Lynn was last in the Sox organization. I'm not in town, and don't want to use up my minutes streaming video. Does Lynn talk about how his disastrous last 2 seasons in Chicago helped get everybody fired?

Oh, Dombrowski had one more year of front office experience than Getz's 9 when they became GMs for the first time. I guess you're all telling me that the one extra year Dombrowski had made him so much more worthy of a GM spot than Chris Getz. LOL.

I assume you're referring to me. I've never said the organization was peachy when KW/Hahn were in charge. Weird how, once the ex-director of development is put in charge, he starts making the changes that were needed. Almost like he wanted to all along, but couldn't. I'd actually like to see any evidence that KW/Hahn were begging Getz to upgrade areas of development, and he didn't, in a craven move to get his bosses fired and for him to take over leadership.

Actually, Dombrowski was the Expos Director of Development for 1 year when they promoted him to GM at the age of 31, the youngest GM at the time. He had less experience than Chris Getz when Getz was promoted. But...carry on.

Runs and number of pitches are shown in the box score.

You want the White Sox to regularly start players you have declared to be hot garbage, just so you can scream that the GM is in "over his head". Making sense is something you can only dream of.

Good thing the season is longer than 12 games. It still doesn't matter.

You guys seem to be missing the concept. I don't root for a baseball team to have something to get constantly enraged at. I find the team building interesting. The winning is fun, but if I was watching for some sort of release that winning brings, I wouldn't be watching sports, and I certainly wouldn't be watching the White Sox.

...And other things you can make up to hope for. Dave Dombrowski missed "setting" the loss record by one loss. You're not really making sense, here.
