WhiteSox2023

He’s a real person, he’s just not a real baseball player.

The Sox and Getz are just a AAAA team for the Dodgers to rob their last few remaining decent players from.

The intentionally leaked Dave Stewart news to The Athletic was just more of the same. Jerry is so obvious.

I meant to go back 25 years, not 30. Correct on Lamont but Bevington never actually managed a team again after the Sox. He was just a third base coach for Toronto.

In the past 30 seasons, only two White Sox managers ever got another MLB manager job after their tenure with the Sox — Jerry Manuel with the Mets and Ozzie’s ill-fated single season with the Marlins. The Sox sure know how to pick em.

Yes…

What do you mean? Manfred literally said, “I have confidence that things are going to work out in Chicago and we’re going to continue to have two teams in Chicago.” Manfred just questioned the location of the current stadium, which is a bunch of BS anyways. The problem is the owner and how every decision he makes turns to cow dung.

Yes TLR, Jerry is a great owner. It isn’t his fault the Sox suck. It’s all the fault of the guys (GMs and managers) he hired, but none of it is his fault at all. Amazing. This guy needs to get the hell away from White Sox business.

The latest TLR interview is even more embarrassing. TLR basically absolved Jerry of any blame and said he is a great owner. He instead blamed all the people JERRY FREAKING HIRED. You can’t make this stuff up. I’ll have to find the interview video/transcript and create a thread on it. I heard about it on Mully and Haugh this morning on The Score. EDIT: Here it is…

Both managers and now GMs. 🤦‍♂️

Sure, but these qualities would still describe a “bridge manager” moreso than signing an established manager like AJ Hinch when the Sox have finally built a team that they expect to win.

I’m not quite sure what you mean. None of the rumored remaining candidates are highly lauded managers. I believe Schumaker is the only one that has been an MLB manager.

Not really too disappointing when you realize that this will likely just be the bridge manager to when the Sox are able to get back to being a .500 team. And if they somehow strike gold with a competent manager, they can always try to extend him.

While the free OTA option is nice, not having streaming options in addition is a whiff. I won’t have a problem watching Sox games because I get MLB.TV for free every year through T-Mobile and I am tech savvy enough to know how to get around the local blackout with a VPN. But not everyone wants to pay for MLB.TV or knows how to use a VPN and just wants an easy and reliable streaming solution like NBC Sports Chicago provided. Should people bust this out as their portable solution for watching Sox/Bulls/Hawks games in the Chicagoland area? Hopefully the slightly bent antenna will still get a good signal…

MLB.TV started playing the Sox postgame last year.

Well, Justin Fields has lost his starting job for sure after that game by Russell Wilson. So Wilson either needs to perform poorly or miss time for Fields to be the starter again so the Bears get a 4th round pick for the Fields trade rather than a 6th.

They look amazing against the lesser teams, but their three losses against better teams (Marist, St. Rita, Loyola) were only by one score. They should beat St. Ignatius on Friday night and then anything can happen.

People said it sucked? I see people saying it was fluky, which it was. It was not a team built to win for years, like a dynasty team.

What could be better than a new stadium that makes you tons of money that you don’t have to pay for? Jerry is a delusional fucking scumbag.

Kenny and Hahn were bad but they were both better than clueless Chris Getz.

Do you live near the ballpark?

It was a dump of money. Big deal. He saved Jerry some money that he won’t spend later. Golf claps for Getz!

Great post, because he literally did. He chose Dominic Fletcher over Jake McCarthy, based on his Assistant GM Josh Barfield’s recommendation. He then chose Miguel Vargas over Luke Keaschall, based on the recommendation of Assistant Hitting Coach Mike Tosar whom he fired a week after the trade. One couldn’t fail harder than Getz did with his trades, even if you intentionally wanted to sabotage the team.

Well, he actually did, so your post can’t even be refuted. 🤣

No, I’m not. Getz is terrible at everything, minors and majors.
