  1. Man, Schriff living rent free in people's heads. To me he was one of the few entertaining qualities of last years SOX/Production (I understand he has got to grow and be better but I was entertained by him)
  2. Thank you Mr. Uecker for helping me to gain my love for baseball through your commercials, play by play, and comedy through movies. You will be missed but never forgotten. RIP 🙏
  3. I get that aspect. I'm just sharing my thoughts and frustrations and I know there are many like me who feel the same way. I mean if we're going to do a Fluff piece then why even have him on it? Doesn't really serve any purpose for us to listen to him gush and blabber about his process after losing 121 games.
  4. I listened to the whole podcast. I'm not sure what to think because I am annoyed every time I listen to Getz talk. I appreciate McGuffy and Kaplan for having him there and asking certain questions, However the questioning did not really drill down to the level that I needed to hear. There was too much positive vibes about Getz and what he's doing with his process from McGuffy and Kaplan. By GOD we just lost a 121 games. This man was responsible for putting the white sox fans through that. There was a conversation about the have's (Dodgers, Yankees, others) and the have nots. No one reminded Getz that we live in Chicago, the 3rd largest market in the country when he started to make the White Sox seam like a small market team in his responses. WE LOST 121 GAMES AND HAD TO LIVE THROUGH THAT!!! I don't want to hear fluff questions for Getz. He has done nothing to earn any good graces yet. That includes the trades he's made, the FA's he signed. I understand he's overhauling the organization by bringing in outside people (am I suppose to applaud him for that?) because as of now there is no proof any of that has changed anything. The interview was too much a pro Getz interview. He does not deserve that leeway right now. Just my 2 cents....
  5. Why do I start to feel depressed and sad every time I read conversations/debates between posters in Sox Talk? That is not a knock on anyone, it just reminds me how far this team is off from being a good MLB team. White Sox are my favorite sports teams in the world. However, there is no light at the end of the tunnel to this sadness and pain. Anyway, back to debating AAA outfielders that will start for the White Sox.
  6. Anyone have any more info on this young man?
  7. I want Robert gone. However, if that is the trade then I wouldn't do it
  8. Pale, as fans we have been beat up and lied to so many times that it's hard to have faith in anyone or anything with this organization. It seems that Getz is "Changing things" but I will believe it when i see results. No more benefit of doubt with anything this organization does
  9. Robert isn't half the player Tucker is by numbers Robert is hype and Tucker is substance
  10. CHRISTMAS GIFT IDEA: Jerry sells the team!
  11. There's a very strong possibility that Luis Robert goes somewhere else and hits 30 Hr's and drives in 80+. I would be perfectly fine with that because it has not worked here, sometimes you just need to let someone go and whatever happens ......happens
  12. I don't pretend to be an expert on prospects but where we are right now as an organization this seems to be a good move. I like Garrett and wish him the best. I always worried about him getting hurt when he was pitching. I don't know where this organization is headed with the clown as the owner but I really need this team to be good in spite of him (If that's even possible). It is miserable when your 2 favorite sports teams are the WHITE SOX and the BEARS
  13. He will hit .175 for us and play like trash. That's what happens when mediocre guys sign with the Sox, they become worse.
  14. Is Dominick Fletcher experience over???
  15. I get it. Luis Robert makes me mad to watch the white sox. He epitomizes what they were suppose to be and what they have become.
  16. Because I am soooooo done with Luis Robert
  17. I don't know if the Brewers matchup as well as some other teams in regards to prospects we would want in return.
  18. What was eye opening to me is the last part of what you said, on the worst team in history there was not one person who surprised and could be considered somebody you move forward with as a core piece.
  19. I have more empathy and sympathy for a man/woman working 40+ hours trying to make a good living then the individual in your scenario. I not naive and understand that sports athletes go through lots of mental and emotional struggles, however their struggles come with certain opportunities that the guy/gal working 40+ hours a week aren't afforded.
  20. 100% agree on the bolded I disagree on other aspects. I chimed in after @Look at Ray Ray Run posted the following.......I 100%agree with what Ray said. A guy playing professional sports who has accomplished nothing going through the motions. "I was in a position to where I hate to say I was going through the motions. You know you’re not playing for anything other than your own career, and when you don’t want to play a selfish game because it’s not a selfish game, it makes it really hard." The head on Kopech's shoulders is not one I'd want to trade places with. For a professional athlete who has proven nothing to go through the motions is fascinating, and also a huge red flag. If I was a GM, I'd never sign a guy who admits such a thing to any contract.
  21. I gave you my opinion. I'm not a psychologist nor have the time to devote to researching human behavior. The following is the statement that I stated does not work as a comparison between your everyday people and dudes/gals playing professional sports if you're at a job or with a company that has zero direction, poor leadership, poor training and poor infrastructure...when you roll up to your cube each day, are you going "all-in" for that company each day, giving it max effort all 40 hours a week? For most...probably not? To me, it is a privilege to play sports, enjoy the fame, and earn millions of dollars. In my opinion you cannot compare effort of a individual as described in the highlighted above to what Kopech just said about his time with the white sox. Those comparisons are apples to cauliflower.
