I never said that Hahn was an idiot for not making an attempt to get those guys over and ver that's the difference if your brain can not comprehend that. Outman and Garrett were guys I thought were interesting players who were worth looking into acquiring after scouring some older AAA types. If you ever did your own research to find players worth acquiring I might think you know something about baseball. Instead you try to say me talking about Outman and Garrett is the same as way you talk about everyone that comes and goes through the trash dumpster. It's so weird that when you do your own research and scouting with only the best interest of the White Sox in mind without trashing the GM that you or anyone else would think it's the same as what you're doing. The blowback I got for making those suggestions the off season after 2022 was because people thought those players were trash . Again weird because I was looking for undervalued assets so duh never said they were guaranteed to be any good but had qualities that were worth checking into . I also got blowback because they weren't likely to be traded. Also weird because again all I was doing was saying I like those guys and thought they'd be interesting to acquire IF possible. It was very confusing to me like wow people get really upset when you suggest a few players that look interesting . Like why are people so bent out of shape enough to tell me they suck or belittle the actual research I did on Outman about how fast he was and what a good OF he was and his hard work he put into revamping his swing to say I'm basing it on what he did in the small sample size when he came up. Of course that was only part of it not everything. Something has to catch your eye and make you delve into them more. Being out here in Dodger country and with the Sox always looking for a Rfers even then made him intriguing . To put it into further context for you this wasafter after the Sox finished .500 and were playing Andrew Vaughn in LF who I hated out there . But of course many here said the numbers say he was a decent Leftfielder. I'd always argue the numbers lied and I thought the rebuild had failed so was already looking at some younger guys. But many here were not ready to hear the rebuild was over and wanted better and not to take chances on nobodies hence the scorn. Apparently the Sox agreed with the masses and signed Benintendi after the New Year of 2023 that same offseason. Things have really worked out well since then haven't they ? But yet you somehow can equate me liking those players at that point in time to you hating everything Getz does while under JRs thumb. Yikes talk about apples and oranges .

It's not the point. There are plenty of reasons that the Sox are going to be bad without making them even worse by lying about their run totals in ST. Just tell the truth , it's bad enough.

WSox2023 other flavor of the month to prove Getz is an idiot. He sure makes a big stink out of nothing. Maybe sooner or later someone he once touted will be a player. But I did agree with him about Canario. But if you ditch a guy like Deloach or Colas for Canario then you have 2 players you can cry about to show Getz incompetence. What an idiot he dumped Colas, what an idiot he didn't pick up Canario if either one turns into a player eventually .Quite impressive he gets to call Getz an idiot now or later over a bunch of nobody's or nobody's now who becomes a one season or even a one month wonder later. And you know he will. I can't keep track of all the guys Getz could've got in trades or guys he cut that the guy has whined about. Getz is scraping the bottom of the barrel. Of course some will turn out better than others over short periods of time. There's no way to tell who is going to be a better retread. Chances are most marginal players remain marginal.

He who ?

Weird how you can keep such good track of the run differential but you can't add up the amount of runs the Sox have scored in all their games so far. They're not scoring many but they had 9 in the first 3 games so short changing them seems rather pointless .

You can call whoever you want whatever you want as far as I'm concerned although everyone may not know who you're talking about .

Id wager and win. So how much do you think is being spent on infrastructure ? That's a fraction of the cost of player payroll. Tampa was was the gold standard for years who could have a strong infrastructure while having a low player payroll and still win. If their player payroll was $100M they were not spending another $100M on infrastructure every year. For the cost of 1 player on a minimum ML salary there's a lot of infrastructure you can acquire for $800K. Startup costs will be higher at the beginning but once in place it'll need yearly maintenance which is not nearly as costly. Coaches, scouts coaches, administrators even the best ones are not cost prohibitive like the best players are. I realize you're only thinking about the last couple of years but each being equal but not a chance. Even during a rebuild you don't want to be pitiful. Pitiful is $70M player payroll.Again no way they spent $70M on infrastructure.

Lipcious walk.1st and 2nd 2 outs.

Cal Mitchell .Sac fly. 3-2 2 outs . Man on 1st still. Lipcious up. Wild pitch advanced Deloach to 2nd.

Deloach FO at 2nd.

Meidroth bad hop chopper but SS charged with error. 1st on 2nd no outs.DeLoach up.

Quero oppo single to start the 9th.

Sox pitchers have no hit the Angels hitters for the last 5 innings but Sox still trail 3-1 entering the 9th.

This is the article that Sportico.com put out on January 13th ,2025 about Ishbia's purchase in 2021. https://www.sportico.com/business/team-sales/2025/mat-justin-ishbia-white-sox-stake-twins-1234823444/

All are not taking the offer but many will be. There were sellers in 2021 when Ishbia and Reinsdorf's kids bought up some shares at $900M which is half of what the shares are being sold for now . And that's the distressed asset price which is why some are not selling because they expect share prices to be higher later especially if Ishbia's money brings positive changes in the spending habits of ownership.

Yep it was me. Wanted him and Outman both the off season after the 2022 season. Garrett' s always hurts.Plays pretty good when he isn't hurt but best ability availability much like too many White Sox.

It's like anything you sell. You can estimate it's value but you never know until it's bought. It's worth whatever someone pays for it.

A bet means that there is a possibility of losing so they are conceding it can get worse just by betting that it won't get worse . 😜

Probably ? So no real proof of that. Ishbia could very well be the biggest shareholder of the Sox by Friday and whatever shares he's buying he's getting at $1.8B valuation so he's in a great position to buy out the Reinsdorfs at either a predetermined date or higher price or both for the sons shares. Then Jerry's upon his death. The biggest drawback is him living longer than expected. JR does seem set on avoiding the extra taxes his son's would incur but I wouldn't count him out on finding a workaround.

That's best case scenario. The valuation is the shares is down from the high of around $2.1B . JRs made it attractive to purchase at a discount price while keeping the door open for much higher valuation IF money is put into the franchise and build a new stadium. If his goal is to make his and his sons shares worth more that would seem to be the way to do it. Ishbia somehow getting control seems to be the only way to make the team worth more in the near future. JR can't make that happen because spending is counterproductive to his son's inheritance .

No I was saying that you called it stupid but I wouldn't use that word because it's like youre calling the other person stupid because their argument is stupid and that makes it personal.
