Feede for Edman as the first trade thoughts tells me that TLR is pulling the strings.

fWAR? Whats the mans batting average. David Eckstein never worried about his fWAR?

I am sure Tony is doing what Tony does behind the scenes. Helping GMs find new employment by listening to an old man.

The hope that JR is not immortal and that his son will sell the team to someone who isnt Voldemort.

God we cannot shake Chicago meatball fandom here. Ozzie Guillen coached and learned how to be a manager. Yes he was a smart player however he also did on the job training where he learned his craft by paying his dues and learning. Robin Ventura, a favorite of mine, didnt. He was lost. He was overwhelmed. The idea we can just take a fan favorite player and just sprinkle some vet coaches around him and poof it works is dumb. And conflating other catchers who have moved onto coaching is silly at best. Its not apples to apples. Just because you have a smart catcher doesn't make him a great coach. Players sometimes dont make the best managers. Even catchers. Taking a players passion or their personality as a competitor doesn't exactly translate to being a manager. Its not the same. Jerry is trying to feed you member-berries and hope that fan nostalgia will overwhelm your common sense. I want someone who knows how to build a program, build players and take us to winning ways. Knows how to develop from the ground up. Knows how to hire competant teachers that can build a single vision of how to play hard, smart baseball. Not just a recognizable player from your 2005 world series collector dvd because you remember the glory days. There are parts of this AJ play that will resonate with the fandom. They will eat this up. Then in a few year the same fans will want him fired and will hate him. We deserve better. Not tricks and gags to fool the fans. Hire a real manager. We were robbed of that by this owner when he decided to hire his buddy. Lets not let him off the hook with another silly move.

Pedro isn’t going anywhere while TLR is whispering in Jerry’s ear.

So we had our RF throw himself on the ground for no reason. Errors on simple plays at 2nd and 3rd. The only thing Thorpe has to remember, the people playing kick the baseball are not going to be here in the long run.

Wait choking up? You think people do this?

They don’t develop defense in the whitesox farm.

We have to find another term because the corpseball teams look like the 27 yankees compared to this group of replacement players we are rolling out there.

Are you telling me that this eyewash boxing routine he did in the offseason didnt help condition the man. I am shocked. https://fb.watch/rhV6bu1_4P/

Fletcher is a proto-typical white sox player.

Remember that the man behind the man sent Dansby Swanson the the Braves for Shelby Duncan. He and Hawk come from the same clothe of talent evaluation.

Travel Baseball has made strides in the last 15 years in the Midwest for quality of baseball. Indianapolis hosts quite a bit of very good amateur travel tournaments. The Indiana Bulls, Canes Midwest amongst a laundry list of programs that are out of that area. A lot of these teams are of a good quality and compete in the same tournaments that the powerhouse orgs do across the board. The AABC, the Cincy Flames tournament in Cincy, Kernels in Iowa, lots of great baseball outside of just playing at PG/PBR in Georgia. The only one that is completely different is Jupiter in the fall or the Area Code games. Those are basically allstar games.

The orioles fans are detached from reality.

They can hold on to their positional prospects. thats fine. They will also likely make first round exits for a while until they draft or acquire ToR pitching. This idea of we will give you junk and you will give us your cost controlled pitcher for a few years for free isnt going to work.

When this fucker takes his permanent dirt nap the party that will erupt between the Bulls and Sox fans will be amazing.

The only thing that is going to make the White Sox better.

Getsy was interviewed and the questions were specific about getting the most out of Justin Fields as part of his main responsibility. Get the most out of the #1 asset they had at the time. The reason was, we remember Nagy trying to make Trubisky to do "his" offense. We have seen the best version of Justin be successful with moving out of the pocket, and using play action to setup passes. Getsy changes and gets conservative at times, especially later in the game moving away from things that are successful. Getsy wants Aaron Rodgers or an Aaron Rodgers clone to run his system. Its obviously this year that Getsy feels that his system is the system and that the QBs need to work within his framework. If he had stated this in his interview, he doesn't get the job. Just like if Nagy did the same he wouldn't of gotten the job. In a. year Getsy will be back to being a QB coach dreaming of his next opportunity. Getsy is a horrible play caller. He is stubborn and obviously arrogant. He might be the worst OC that we have hired in the last 30 years. Remember, GB had their OC get a HC job and the backup guy I believe went with him. So this was the #3 guy who didn't have any play calling experience. What a bad hire. Next year we will have another QB. And this cycle will reset. Because the organization is allergic to hiring people with experience.

I just keep checking the obits for good news.

Jacob Nix seems to have helped set this up on Trevor as well. Go get the bag? This seems to be part of the story that isnt getting enough press. Human beings by nature can be nefarious. This is why we need to allow for the courts time to do their thing. Social media has changed society to a the person is guilty all the time because first impressions hit hard. Evidence and the presumption of innocence and a trial by either a judge or jury is the hallmark of American judice prudence. Sure he could of been guilty. And if he was launch him into the center of the sun. But he wasnt. A few things. She should go to prison if this is true. She basically destroyed this mans legacy and career trying to grift money from his bank account. She used sex instead of a gun. Whats the difference. She has done more harm to women with this than anything. Jacob Nix should get his name dragged though the mud. The dodgers and MLB need to reinstate Bauer and pay him back pay for his contract. Whether a team signs him or not is up to them. They did this and he wasnt charged by the p0lice and it was a civil matter. She was a sketchy person at best with this and things kind of came out to put her story in doubt pretty early. They also are not consistent with domestic abuse. We have seen plenty of domestic abusers get less of a strict penalty than Bauer did. The Dodgers didnt want to deal with the pollical fallout but still wanted the money back. So it seems that they got a gift. Well the Union should be asking for the money now and for full reinstatement. Not liking a guy is an interesting thing. It can skew our perceptions. There are plenty of pieces of s%*# that you have all cheered for. Humanity and the character is sometimes a product of the marketing of the player. Sometimes its real sometimes its not. There is no difference between these entertainers and the Hollywood types. They are not role models. They are entertainment. Thats it.

just checked. Nope nothing in the obituaries telling me that this is going to get fixed anytime soon.

Baker is going to throw for 450 against this D.

The defense can’t tackle people.
