Uhhh, no. I’m not a meth head. Getz can’t even manage a .500 season and instead set the record for futility. You said these same things about Hahn during the first rebuild and of course he failed before finally getting fired.

Getz was the director of player development (from 2017 to 2020) and the assistant GM (starting in 2021) before Hahn and Kenny were fired and he became the full GM in 2023. Of course he bears some responsibility for the farm system and roster, unless he was sitting around doing nothing in his roles and just collecting a paycheck.

The owner let the existing regime, which included Getz, make all the trades at the 2023 deadline while knowing he was going to fire both Kenny and Hahn and promote Getz from assistant GM to GM. Remember, Reinsdorf said he didn’t even interview anyone else but Getz for the GM job. It was most definitely the start of the second rebuild. Afterall, they traded away 7 players that made up 27% of the 26-man roster!

And the Sox keep getting duped by him.

This is sadly true. One of our expected best bats was a NRI and is now injured.

No, Rebuild II is now starting its third year. Hahn definitely kickstarted the second rebuild in 2023 by trading Lopez, Giolito, Lynn, Kelly, Graveman, Middleton, and Burger. Getz was the assistant GM and probably had some input regarding those trades.

This is directly due to the last beef Barstool Sports had with Bernstein when he was a dick to Barstool Eddie for no apparent reason other than calling him by his name. https://www.barstoolsports.com/blog/3524905/for-the-love-of-god...-do-not-call-dan-bernstein-of-the-bernstein-and-holmes-show-bernstein

When does The Rebuild Part III start?

Thorpe needs TJ surgery and Drury has a broken left thumb. I’ll go 50 wins.

Drury has a broken left thumb so he likely won’t be making the opening day roster.

I’m sure the bone spur was legit but my guess is that Thorpe’s later elbow soreness, cortisone shot, additional soreness, and removal from his start was all likely due to this pre-existing or new issue.

I hope so. Maybe the Sox will get his injury status right the next time they report it.

I have no clue what your point is here but the guy was bad in almost 500 plate appearances at A+. A 2 for 2 day would only impress an absolute moron.

Pretty sure it was Zavala’s 467 plate appearances in A+ ball last season where he hit: .187 / .340 / .301 / .641

Shane Riordan only received a one week suspension for that. And it was someone’s dead mother.

True story. Dude is literally 5’8” and maybe 150 soaking wet. 🤣

Ah, I see what you mean. He didn’t really specify what he was going to do to the guy’s kids (dox?) but it was a threat nonetheless.

Yeah, once it’s Tweeted, you are done. It wouldn’t have even mattered if he deleted the tweet as someone would have screenshotted his threat about the guy’s kids. Really stupid. But I’m not sure why you can’t believe what he did. Bernstein has done equally stupid stuff in the past that should have gotten him fired…

Yep, I was wondering as well until I dove down the Twitter rabbit hole. What kind of cowardly weasel publicly threatens a guy’s kids on Twitter?

That could cause a barroom brawl. 🤣

Threatening to fight and dox a guy and also get his kids involved because the guy on Twitter questioned whether or not the fish that Bernstein caught was dead is all time stupid.

As expected, Barstool Sports is loving this… https://www.barstoolsports.com/blog/3541289/dan-bernstein-is-officially-out-after-threatening-a-mans-children-over-a-fish-picture

Bernstein also called him a “MAGA worm”. 🤣 This didn’t help Bernstein’s chances…
