Grifol is clueless with his challenges
Yes, there was no way they were going to change the call on the field even though it does appear to have hit the knob of the bat.

That hit the knob
It did but a stupid challenge because they aren't overturning it.

At a certain point just try to lay down a damn bunt to get the ball in play.

Andrus terrible at bat, 6 pitches and only the last pitch in the zone.

I forgive Moncada for the boneheaded running play lol...he plays a good 3B

Who do you think they will hire as manager in November, 2025?

Why does me saying he wasn't the sole reason the won insinuate that I feel he played no part? Maybe I'd like to simply acknowledge the career-year performances of the players on the team? It takes more than any one player or manager for a team to win.
Most average-to-good managers don't affect their teams performances all that much - but bad mangers can. Hence Tony last year. Ozzie wasn't exactly Grade-A manager material towards the end of his Sox stint. Getting traded as a manager in the middle of the season is astoundingly shocking. There isn't anything wrong with admitting that he wore out his welcome and when things got bad he only made it worse with his antics. I will forever be grateful for 2005, but I in no way shape or form want to see him back managing the Sox. He may have been what that team needed in 2005, that that was a different game back then. This team doesn't need another out-of-touch old school baseball mind that can't even understand the basics of exit velocity.
I agree with your comment that most average to good managers don't affect their team's performance all that much. Ozzie probably had about the normal impact on them winning in 2005 as most managers do. I think Ozzie understands the game better than you think, but the roster construction decisions will be poor which makes this managerial decision inconsequential.

Let's not act like Ozzie was the sole reason that team won. C'mon.
Not the sole reason, but are you suggesting he didn't have a big part in it? If so, then I guess you're saying teams are able to win no matter who the manages them. If so, then why does it matter who they hire now?

am I the only person here who doesn't care much for Benetti? I don't mind Stone, mostly due to his pitching analysis and he's funny
I am with you, would be happy if Benetti didn't come back.

I expect them to give the fans one last false hope. Minnesota beats Cleveland tomorrow so Cleveland comes to town up 3 games. White Sox beat them Tuesday & Wednesday to get within a game and then Giolito lets up 7 runs in the top of the 1st on Thursday. So they lose the season series and end up tying for the division.

Then who you pitching in the 11th?
If Liam doesn't pitch the 10th there probably isn't an 11th.

Pollock’s effort getting to the ball and throwing has been embarrassing all year
yeah and right after that was a ground ball that would have been a double play.

Wake the f*** up in center field!

This will put us 4 behind Cleveland in loss column. Pretty much have to win all 4 against them now.

Andrus drops a ball right in his mitt and it is a double? Moncada walks after the ball, WTF?

Seattle announcers like to yell when a Sox strikes out. Noticed it often last night.
If that's the case he is going to lose his voice this afternoon.

Maybe they should push Cease’s next start to Saturday, and then run him out there every 5th day until the end. That would get him two starts vs Cleveland and the final game of the season. As it stands, Giolito gets the day game in Cleveland on the 15th.
The head to head games against Cleveland are way too important to have Giolito anywhere near them. Need to do whatever is necessary to make sure Cease pitches in 2 of those games. If they are going to win the division I think they need to win at least 3 of the remaining 4 vs. Cleveland.

What’s it, 12 million down the drain next year for him and Diekman?

Really important to get this leadoff double in with us going to the bullpen.
