This wisdom appears around here every few years and he never sells the team. Gotta be right sometime, law of averages or something like that.

Colas sent to AAA (again)
Stinky Stanky replied to YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES!'s topic in Pale Hose Talk
Back to AAA where he had some success to get his confidence back. It's Getz, all right. Might help, might not. Either way the Earth will keep spinning on its axis. -
9/9 Game Thread Sox only 9 back of @Tigers for 3rd
Stinky Stanky replied to Texsox's topic in 2023 Season in Review
This is for just after a match and just before dancing the night away with the dollies (Polish barmaids). Just for the record, these bozos they’re sending to the mound are better than the starters they began the season with. -
Kopech to the bullpen, Urena starting Saturday.
Stinky Stanky replied to Lip Man 1's topic in Pale Hose Talk
What Graveman should have been and on the cheap. Too late to matter. -
If Hendriks is himself, he saves 20 of those blown saves and the Sox win those games. Where does that put the team's record under Grifol? At least you mentioned him which correctly places the blame for 20 or so losses. Not that I think Grifol is any good, but the bullpen is making him look bad, not the other way around.

The sign came down when the Cubs complained so don't make a federal case out of it. Besides, the south side allows billboards too (other than Lerner and Rowe), so they were just asking for trouble.

He wanted to put in Mariano Rivera but he's not on the team. Dumb manager.😄

Cleveland claims Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez
Stinky Stanky replied to South Side Hit Men's topic in Pale Hose Talk
There was a time when they started sitting on his changeup and he began to use the slider more, with success. -
You look at the bullpen and come up with better choices than him. News Flash: They all suck. Not that I don't agree with you otherwise.

Saturday night baseball gamethread...anyone?? Detroit @ Sox
Stinky Stanky replied to wegner's topic in 2023 Season in Review
The 10 game streak was a sign to me that he'd already lost them. Fast worker. -
9/1 Gamethread Toussaint v. Rodriguez
Stinky Stanky replied to Timmy U's topic in 2023 Season in Review
Katz may know the mechanics of throwing a baseball but not much else about the game. The walk rate of our pitchers doesn’t say a lot for his coaching. But he does appear about 20 pounds lighter as a result of his frequent trips to the mound. Time for a change. -
9/1 Gamethread Toussaint v. Rodriguez
Stinky Stanky replied to Timmy U's topic in 2023 Season in Review
Touki gives you an honest day's work, prolly carries a lunch pail. Mediocre, which means neither good nor bad, describes him. More than you can say for a bunch of others. Sox have paid 8 digits and gotten the same results. -
Good assessment. They spend plenty but in the wrong places because of incompetent management. If I were JR I'd be livid. But don't let it affect the standard narrative that they won't spend. JR must see something in Getz that sets him apart from KW/RH. It's fair to say that none of the rest of us see it. In his own mind, he's still smarter than everyone else.

8/29 White Sox at Orioles. 6:05, NBCSN/WMVP1000
Stinky Stanky replied to Buehrle>Wood's topic in 2023 Season in Review
Takes the ball every five days and gives you a chance. Only Clevinger does the same. Touki tries. Cease and Kopech? Tail end of the rotation inconsistency. But I think Cease has tweaked something in his arm. -
After an exhaustive search, Getz named GM/VP
Stinky Stanky replied to bmags's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Stone might be a good advisor to JR. Not a GM candidate, but he checks my boxes on knowing the game and its people and having JR's ear. Hope he's part of the mix. -
So many possibilities. Not that they would be the hire, but who's advising Jerry? Hawk? Thome? AJ? Pat Fitzgerald? Does Jerry know enough about the game to identify the gem we need? As long as it's not internal.
-
Is he still paying Ricky? Who looks better and better every day. In retrospect, of course.
-
JR? Midseason? To guys he thinks of as family? Man, he must be one pissed off 87 year old. So it's not only us who are livid about the incompetence we see. Good for you, ya old Dodgers fan. I can't believe this!
-
87 years old and knows he'll never get to the promised land before he croaks... There's merit in your post. Time for him and the rest of us to face reality. And he did buy land on the west side recently. And Nashville is a great town. Music, barbecue, weather. Great place to live and work. Wouldn't blame him if he did, but then he has to unload the Bulls too.
