Sox trying to fix Vargas
Except Nicky Lopez has proven himself to be a garbage hitter over multiple seasons, not just a month. But your small sample size argument does make some sense and can be supported. However, when in your opinion will Vargas and Fletcher have enough plate appearances to be proven mediocrity? Vargas has just about a full season with 530 career PA, while Fletcher has about half that at only career 276. I would suggest not even looking at Vargas’s career line as it is that ugly. Meanwhile, Fletcher has basically hit like an “on-fire” Nicky Lopez for his career.

Ramos being recalled, Brooks to IL
Maybe if it only happened a few times. But how many times have we seen the Sox do this? They have been doing this for the past few seasons. There’s a reason posters openly call it out and joke about it. Because they remember the last several times the Sox have done the very same thing.

Marco Paddy fired
No, exorcised was correct. Getz and his minions are evil demons sent from hell to destroy Sox fans enjoyment of baseball.

Marco Paddy fired
Maybe Getz can do another assessment of the team after his own year one like Jerry said he was able to do last year? My guess is that he wouldn’t share the results with Jerry because all of the fingers would point back at him.

Marco Paddy fired
He has the Kenny/Hahn stink on him. He truly deserves nothing, and damn sure didn’t deserve his promotion. He should’ve been canned from his previous role for being a weak director of player development since he ultimately had poor results. His offseason was awful, his in-season transactions were reactionary and questionable, and his trade deadline was a huge failure. As I’ve said before, I’ll take a drunk monkey throwing darts at pictures of free agents/trade targets over trusting Getz and his staff (Barfield, Tosar (oh, already canned, go figure…)). They have all burned us out of two starting caliber position players already with their terrible player assessments.

Marco Paddy fired
If he was an outside hire, I would’ve given him more rope. But he’s a Kenny/Hahn lackey and learned from the absolute worst of the worst — two other terrible front office people that simply kissed Jerry’s ass to keep their paychecks rolling in for years. Getz also didn’t develop anything in his previous role other than a pile of dung and he put together what was thought impossible this past offseason, a record setting turd. He’s a terrible GM and needs to be gone as well and no, no one should stop screaming this from the highest towers and cliffs.

Ahhh, saw he wasn’t on the Orioles roster and just assumed he got injured.
-
Marco Paddy fired
Yep. Getz did worse in a single offseason and regular season than any of these guys that are getting fired now.

Flushing the previous regime should be even before that but we know it isn’t going to happen.

It looks like the Marlins did better with their Trevor Rogers trade in getting Norby back. I realize Rogers had two years left instead of one but he was a pretty mediocre starter and the Sox also included Kopech with Fedde.

Fire Chris Getz
I think that grace period excuse is evaporating as this gets uglier and uglier and the results of his acquisitions are mostly failures.

You missed the last sentence… “And our miser owner refuses to pay the high price of anything.”

He also bumped into Robert earlier in the game.

Chasing Records — 121 losses, modern MLB record
I think they have the worst single season record in the bag. But it’s looking like they might also earn the worst single season run differential since 1900 as well. Sox are at -310 right now.
-
First Move
It won’t. It would be tough to argue that the Sox don’t currently have the worst owner and the worst GM in all of baseball.

Beat me to it. He could get similar or more money from a team and owner that isn’t a complete and utter clown show operation.

Haha, I laughed at this. The GM who told the media and therefore the fans that one of the best players in Sox history “better stay out of White Sox business!”

FutureSox Mid-Season Top 30
Give him some roids and maybe he pans out. Otherwise, we’ve seen his profile before and it doesn’t fly in the majors. And Madrigal was even better in the minors.

Too much Nugenix. Lack of blood flow to his face, lips, and tongue.

Sox trying to fix Vargas
.863 OPS on the season. Getz is garbage. To be fair, once people saw that Getz took back Vargas, they would have been ecstatic with Norby instead. I remember posting that the Marlins return for Trevor Rogers was better than Getz’s return for Fedde and Kopech.

And some guys like Oldy Moldy hanging on for another year when they should’ve retired. But tough to say no to $4.25 million guaranteed thrown your way by an assclown GM.

Embarrassing to hear The Legend hype up Povich’s best start in the majors thus far. Yeah, Stone Pony, cuz he’s facing a team with less talent than a Single A ball club.

Thorpe season ending bone spur surgery in elbow
I must be missing the sarcasm. Deng was directly involved in all of his own medical incidents, and I posted a video on his own testimony of those incidents.
