WhiteSox2023

So he gets 3 more seasons until the team is expected to be a contender? Just curious.

And what’s the timeline for that? There must be one. How many more losing seasons does Getz get to have before his job is in question?

It made sense to give Pereira a shot, although that is quickly looking like a bad decision since he swings at everything. Peters didn’t really have much pedigree and might make a nice fourth outfielder, but he shouldn’t be starting the majority of games so far. I agree on Kelenic but how is Peters any different? These are AAA guys on any other team. When do we get to stop saying “they are still in a rebuild” as an excuse for these bad rosters? Two more seasons? Three?

We are starting a AAA quality guy three games into the season. If you think that’s okay, good luck. People joked about the Kelenic acquisition but starting Peters is now acceptable?

Wow. I didn’t know that. So our starting outfielder was a Savannah Banana back in 2021? We only acquire the cream of the crop apparently.

Three games into the season and Tristan Peters is already starting his second game. Bang up job on the roster by Getz. It’s bad enough we have to watch Everson “Wind Tunnel” Pereira starting.

They will update it to “Feel The Pain”.

Any way you could have extended your cruise? May have been better off. 🫣

They are also without two starting position players in their lineup.

Jerry and Getz’s team is setting LOSER records left and right. Embarrassing. I’m curious what WE’s take will be on this. Perhaps Getz needs 3 more years to build a winner? I can’t wait to hear the excuses for this swirl of dog poop…

Yes, The Schriff-dawg mentioned that Venable intentionally went with this lineup to get 5 lefty bats against Patrick. Listening to a terrible announcer talk about a bad manager’s moves is really not fun.

I have no problem with it. I just thought your hate was misdirected. Lip has probably been a Sox fan for longer than you and me combined. Good luck with your bet.

It will likely be next season’s trade deadline. I’ll be perusing the Dodgers top prospect listings heavily until then. Old man Freddie Freeman has two years left on his contract as well. It’s a perfect fit.

True, but not sure if that counts since he didn’t start the season as the GM.

This is what we Sox fans have resorted to due to Jerry and Getz. Making loser bets for a loser team. At least the $30 bucks could buy you a “Build Your Own Milkshake” as you watch the Sox get blown out at home.

Maybe that’s the record then. This would be three 100+ loss seasons by the same GM (Getz) and fourth 100+ loss season in a row. But Getz was only the assistant GM in 2023.

There’s moving the goal posts and there’s common sense and reason. Would losing 95 games instead of a 100 mean that much? The end result is that the Sox still suck.

Antonacci needs more time in the minors and wouldn’t solve all the problems with the lineup anyways. He would be jumping from AA to the majors. It likely wouldn’t be pretty.

I think the record is consecutive 100+ loss seasons by the same GM.

@southsider2k5 has made the same point in the past. We are basically now just at where every other team has already been. So while that’s good, they are still behind every other team. Also, one still has to question the scouting. I know it has been joked about, but it seriously seems like they just pick players to acquire in trades using scouting reports from past years. Does anyone see any hitting talent in Pereira so far? Dude looks terrible at the plate.

He has probably watched Jerry’s s%*# show longer than both of us. I know he has watched more than me. He is obviously a fan of the White Sox as he posts a daily historical facts about them. But Jerry is the equivalent of The Grinch on Christmas and can ruin anything, including the White Sox and Bulls.

They have 11 hits and only 3 runs on 3 solo HR in 2 games. Where have we seen this before? “This is White Sox baseball.”

Also, he was already on the payroll and probably didn’t even get a huge bump for the promotion from Assistant GM to full GM. Perfect for Jerry.

It’s great that Getz bought some Trakt machines and improved the infrastructure, but he still can’t identify offensive player talent or build a team for s%*#. Pereira? Dude swings like the freaking Tasmanian Devil. Fire Getz.
