Paul Janish Hired as Director of Player Development
What they meant was working on their defensive reactions for all future pressers.

41% decrease in viewership
Gonna be so bad for a long time too. It'll be 3-5 years after the Getz era is over before there's any hope of greatness. And that's no guarantee.

Josh Barfield expected to be asst. GM; Brian Bannister and Gene Watson coming as well
Nothing personal to Josh but it is appropriate that the Sox now have an Asst GM named; Barf Field
-
It’s official - Getz named SVP & GM
Its a bit of a good news-bad news thing with Getz. The good news is Getz should keep the Sox fairly consistent for many years to come. The bad news is that based on his incredible successes, that consistency s/b somewhere ~ 30-35 games under .500 for many years to come. How thrilling!!!

Crochet wants to be a SP
If he was a bottom of the rotation SPOT starter at Tenn for 2 years, how/why could/would he ever be a top of rotation SP in MLB?
-
Crochet wants to be a SP
Crochet will never be a successful SP. He couldn't do it consistently at Tenn. Why in the world did the Sox draft him as the #11 pick? His Tenn career was very mediocre at best. ...35 appearances with only 12 starts in 2 seasons...huh? And most of those were under <=5 inning stints. The White Sox scouting dept strikes again!

Kopech is not a starter
Can someone please remind me why Katz is such a good PC? I've forgotten why I was so high on him a couple of years ago.

Blow it the F Up
I pity all the poor bastards with season tickets. Think of all the beautiful ways to spend that cash. It'll take at least a decade to rebuild from this colossal pile. And that clock doesn't even start until every ownership/management office is emptied & scoured with bleach. Who knows when that'll ever happen. It'll probably take 5 years just to purge the stink.

Fire Rick Hahn
I'll believe that if/when it happens. It would fly in the face of sports family ownership history. I find it hard to believe the JR, of all people, would be that pioneer.

Fire Rick Hahn
Assuming Michael eventually takes over, there's no indication of any tunnel light given his 12 dismal years as Bulls COO. One can easily argue they're a worse franchise now then when he took over because of his awful management decisions.
-
Fire Rick Hahn
Once they finally fire him, it'll take 10 years to repair the damage this man has done. But they'll just replace him with Chris Getz, the man in charge of player non-development so add another 10 years. The entire franchise has to be torn down and rebuilt starting at the top with the ownership. What are the odds that will EVER happen? The Sox are just now entering a long, long period of irrelevancy.

Fire Rick Hahn
Reinsdick right at home with this team. Reminds him of his beloved "Dem Bums" Brooklyn Dodgers. But they were never this bad. Sox on an historic modern ball pace. The last team to lose 120 games was '62 Mets. 2003 Tigers lost 119, the AL record. Don't know if that was in their "Championship Window" though!

GT 4/27: Best Team in Baseball vs. 4th in the AL Central - 6:10 CT
4th in AL Central...? While that is ugly enough, why not call them what they truly are...3rd worst in AL & baseball.

4/25- White Sox at Blue Jays, 6:07
Oh so good to see yet another SP take 100 pitches to go 5 innings. Katz must train them that way.

Fire Rick Hahn
The Scouting and Player Development depts have been historically awful for 10 friggin years! You can't build a team signing FA's and international contracts. In ~10 years they haven't had any draft picks who became studs for WSox. Half that time, they had top 10 picks too. I guess the closest they came was TA. Jury still out on AV. All others were traded away for garbage. What's really depressing is that they're going to be bad for a long, long time.

This team is going to lose 90 plus games...
On the next homestand, concessions will be bringing back an old favorite to the menu from last year; the steaming hot s%*# sandwich....time for everyone to take another big bite. Will be available all summer.

The White Sox over/under for 2023 wins is 83.5
Over/under 25lbs for combined offseason weight gained by: Jimemez Robert Lynn Lynn could be good for 20 all by himself. Loves his beer & pizza!

Who is buying/renewing tix for 2023?
it sounds like someone's not getting their quota bonuses this spring. Actually, I do feel bad for that group, not their fault they work for such a terrible owner and mgmt What's amazing is how far the FO & ownership go in showing how little they care about fans. They just see us as "fresh fish, reelin 'em in".

Lightning in a Bottle; Sox have amazing year?
The other day (yesterday maybe), Bernstein & Holmes mentioned a video they saw of Robert recently doing some kind of slow boxing/sparring with gloves vs another person wearing hand pads. The bottom line was that, to B & H, Luis looked to have gained weight & not the good kind. I haven't seen it but if true, it wouldn't surprise me. There's so many loafers on this team that just don't give a crap and the org doesn't see a need to hold anyone accountable for not being the best player they possible can. They're too busy living the good life to care about playing serious baseball for the White Sox. Its hard to envision that this team will ever be dedicated to playing winning baseball and won't even surpass last season's mediocrity. Guardians will win div by at least 15 games.....over Twins. That team & org is scary good!
