3-18. Shut out 7 times in first 19 games, most in123 years. 45 runs in 21 games. 2 or fewer runs in 14 games. Last in all major offensive categories in MLB. And having the chutzpah of promoting a new stadium. What a major embarrassment this is.
Change is urgently needed. As we can’t fire the whole team, start with firing Grifol, with Getz on deck. Need to shake this tree.

Things are really bad when the only speculation is how awful the team will be. This is not a MLB roster.
Can we relegate this team to the minors? At least, games should be more competitive.

The top prize is the #10 pick in 2025 draft no matter how many losses Sox get. No hope till JR is gone!
Even then we need a better drafting performance than in the past few years choosing first rounders like Zach Collins, Vaughn, Madrigal and others.

god he looks so stupid with the red gloves. there are guys that can get away with that, Eloy is not one of them. I know it doesn't matter but he still looks like a goof.
He is filling the void left by Moncada with unconventional equipment colors with the same goofy results.

Just because everyone likes to point out when former Sox do well with their new team, especially Burger. After getting out of the gate quickly Burger is down to an 86 wRC+ (.228/.281/.421) and quickly fell back to 0 fWAR. He has started as many games at 1B as 3B, and is now on the IL with another core/oblique injury.
I wish Jake well, but will again repeat that he's not a guy that is going to haunt the Sox long term.
Still better than Vaughn.

I was wrong on Burger and admitted it. I didn't want to draft him but he became a favorite. Very sad when they shipped him out for no good reason. He coulda been DH for 12 years. Not a fluid fielder.

Wish they had traded the listless Vaughn instead.

Under 64.5 looks better every single day.
This team is one of the worse offensive teams ever assembled in MLB. Shame on KW/Hahn/Getz,/JR.

Jesse Rogers of ESPN is predicting the Sox to lose 120 games this season, matching the infamous 1962 Mets. How low can we go? Shameful

Unless JR decides to throw a lot of money at it, they will be awful for a long time. So they will be awful for a long time.
At the same time, attendance will drop at home and on the road. Not many will want to watch a AAA team at best with MLB pricing.

Add Vaughn to that list. You could go out and sign Brandon Belt off the street and he would put up better numbers.
Should have kept Burger rather than Vaughn. But that would have been too smart for our inept FO.

None of them should’ve been hired in the first place. The Royals didn’t even want Grifol and Getz was a part of the previous failed regime. Then Getz chose to create his new regime with a bunch of losers from another terrible organization just like the Sox.
On top of that, Royals swept the Sox this weekend.

Sad part is JR is more than happy with Getz
He was also happy with the second coming of LaRussa, which turned into a disaster.

White Sox offense has been anemic so far. Much worse than last season.
Getz off season acquisitions were mostly older journeymen.
Batting averages so far:
Pillar, Grossman and Maldonado .000
Fletcher .125
DeJong .143
Nicky Lopez .167
on top of the inherited multimillion dollar man Benintendi hitting .107 leading off.
White Sox management/coaching team should be embarrassed. How long do the fans have to wait for a change?

this team is definitely worse than last year and that's saying a lot
no way grifol lasts the whole year
Getz should also go. His off season moves have been really bad. He just brought a bunch of older journeymen. The team is much worse than last year so far.

Jake Burger homers twice off of Pack your lunch Lance Lynn🤣
Burger trade was one of the worse trades of the KW/Hahn era, particularly with the anemic offense that we are showing this season.

Still I wish we kept Burger and traded Vaughn instead, but I guess the Marlins saw a bargain with Burger and grabbed it.

No it wasn't. it was Moncada's at bat. The guy threw one strike and Moncada chased s%*# and struck out.
You are absolutely right. There were two men on with no outs, both on base with walks. The pitcher was wild. 3 &1 count and he swing at a ball on his ankle.. next time give him a take sign in that situation.

Not impressed with our new play by play announcer. Does not describe well what is happening with the game.

Jake Burger went 3-for-4 with three RBI on Thursday in the Marlins’ Opening Day loss to the Pirates.
Figures.
While our offense was anemic today. Burger trade has turned out to be a big bust. A Hahn and KW goodbye “gift”. IMO.

Not one Sox player reached 2nd base. That’s hard to do in a MLB game.
Our offense this year looks worse than last year. Didn’t bring in any offensive upgrade. Still havethe same problems at catcher, 2B, RF, Ss.

Great post. Caulfield I am going to try to follow the Cubs a bit this year since some say they may win the division. Feel free to DM me with any comments Cub related. I know from your posts you follow the Cubs some and I know little bout the team except their closer is allegedly good, they have a Cy Young candidate at starter and the Suzuki and Morel guys allegedly can hit.
Sad so far. Sox punchless today. Then Anderson and Burger with 4 RBIs. Doesn’t look like we upgraded the infield hitting offensively.

It was reported in the press this week that Giolito may be out for the season with a bad elbow.

Too bad there is no relegation in MLB.
