7/6- White Sox vs Blue Jays, Gm 1, 4:10
I would take the Jerry Manuel Softball Offense no pitching White Sox 100 x over this garbage.

For me, getting close to where if Vaughn has an Eric Hosmer type career I will call that a win.

Blow it the F Up
They went 174 and 150 for the 2 years under LaRussa, that's well over .500. And with a core of players who truly really isn't a great collection of baseball talent as we're finding out Today. Don't let the LaRussa hate blind you from the facts.

7/2 Gamethread - TBD vs. Blackburn
Hahn can't help himself. All the bullpens around the leagues are filled with hard throwers, it's no longer special to be able to throw 97+. Scout better, pay less.

I can't believe Burger didn't make the reserves squad, LOL.

OK, Remilard might flame out here soon, but boy I wish 3/4 this roster played as hard as he does.

7/2 Roster Moves (Not the one everyone knows we need)
We got very minimal bang for that trade, considering we traded arguably the best pitcher in the AL at the time. Doesn't matter Sale's health after the fact, which many people like to argue.

Blow it the F Up
Every manager I believe would have some sort of input to their bottom of the roster, Garcia and Kelly would be in the lower 3rd of a 25/26 man roster. Grant it those options truly weren't cheap, considering every dollar matters for this team unfortunately. But let's be real here, how much of the % of this failure do you hang on LaRussa and his dumb ass roster picks (assuming true) after seeing how this new current manager has failed even worse with the current core of players? To me, it's actually the total opposite and more praise should go to LaRussa who managed .500+ for 2 years with this club.

Blow it the F Up
The Sox are not failing because of whatever hypothetical LaRussa motivated roster moves were made. The Sox are failing because the guys who were suppose to be stars just aren't cutting it. That simple. Then add continues terrible drafting and minor league development by a front office that goes beyond Hahn's tenure as GM, there is basically a zero talent pipeline to help supplement the failed current roster core and to be able to extend any sort of successful continuity. I laugh at the idea that Reinsdorf will allow yet another rebuild to take place under the leadership of Hahn and Williams. Good luck finding the jumpstart trade pieces on this roster like those of Sale, Quintana, and Eaton. Or better said, good luck finding any team willing to give their farm up on any trades these days. Those days are over. You gotta be able to draft and develop, and good luck again with Hahn and Williams doing that.

Lol. AJ Hinch is a suck ass manager just like all the others if the personnel on the field and in the front office don't pull their weight. The slap in the face to me as a fan was sending LaRussa home but pretending like Rick Hahn had nothing to do with this disaster. Both at the very least should have been dumped this past off-season and new faces brought in to re-evalute this situation with brand new ideas with no emotional ties to this roster and farm system.

Blow it the F Up
To think Reinsdorf basically threw his own Buddy under the bus and hanging the entire failed 2022 season solely on LaRussa. Meanwhile allowing the two clowns in charge to stick around. Folks, sadly nothing is gonna change here until Reinsdorf passes. It's that simple.

6/30 - Sox @ Vegas A’s of Oakland: 840CT
I do feel for Tim Anderson. You can tell his hurting inside with the struggles as he sits there after the last out. But the genius skipper has no pulse, hit him 9th to get the pressure off him . Not rocket science.

Andrus lack of hustle, Grifol saving the bullpen to lose.....Rick Hahn is ass Executive
-
6/30 - Sox @ Vegas A’s of Oakland: 840CT
Grifol taking a "bullpen" game and saving the bullpen in the process, only to give away a game.

4.5 games out .... LOL

Man, just when you think the Vaughn thing is finally gonna start clicking. He frustrates the hell out of me.

6/29 - Sox @ Halos (3:07CT): Lynn vs. Sandoval
Good one. 100% a potential Rick Hahn target this coming off-season

6/29 - Sox @ Halos (3:07CT): Lynn vs. Sandoval
Not sure who's gonna have the worst exit in their careers, Shields, Keuchel, or Lynn. But all very similar and ugly.

6/29 - Sox @ Halos (3:07CT): Lynn vs. Sandoval
Amazing how Frazier survives under a Rick Hahn roster . When the story book closes on this fraud ML Executive, his bookend poster moves should go down as Kepinger in year 1 to Frazier in year 50 (it feels that long) of his tenure.

Day game Lynn feels like batting practice every time out .

6/26 Gamethread
Go look at the list of the highest players on this team currently, you will throw up. Zero contribution from all of them (Moncada,Grandal, Hendricks, Lynn, Benintendi, Eloy)
-
6/26 Gamethread
Bennetti did a whole half inning on the standings, so please don't bring that negative (realistic) talk in here .
-
6/26 Gamethread
I once thought Eloy could be a middle of the order offensive force. Very blah.

6/26 - White Sox recall OF Adam Haseley from Charlotte, option Jose Rodriguez to Birmingham
You still give the kid an AB or a game over garbage ass players like Remellard or Andrus. You don't know how many chances you'll ever get as a kid to ever have that chance. But I guess since everyone had s%*# baseball careers like Grifol, then everyone should suffer.

6/26 Gamethread
Clint Frazier still on this roster is so symbolic of Hahn's tenure as GM. Just zero imagination since taking on this job.
