Too busy shooting music videos from like, 5 years ago.
honestly though I think their workouts are geared for aesthetics and not function.

A new GM might have cleared house of the training staff, but c'est la vie.
what the heck how would they have fired them before 2 years of evaluation?

What?
This is how grifol talks, imo. He tries to say a sentence, rhetorically defines it, and then we're off to the races. I'll continue to work it, I appreciate the feedback.

Grifol's comments before the game are even more idiotic now. You had the guy playing through an injury, and it cost him the season.
Well the thing about playing through an injury is whats an injury, its an injury of the body, and the play is well play he did before, so the injury played the way we say to always play.

I’m wondering what their plan at 2nd base is, as Lopez playing SS is interesting
You know who would be a perfect fit for this offense? Jacob Gonzalez.

It’s hilarious, in a sick way, that all three main guys got predictably hurt running the bases, with Yoan being out for the season. On the bright side, at least it’s not hurting them from contending.
I had a small glimmer of hope that yoan would actually succeed and we could get something at the deadline.
Now more concern that Colson gets pushed.

Good thing the idiots in charge tried to make him play thru injury. I can’t overstate how bad the training staff is.
I mean yes, this to. Dude exacerbated the injury by running in a straight line.
Alright anyway I can't help it, meathead mode:
football players: get hit by 260 lb men going 20 mph, get ankle ripped off, back in 2 weeks.
Basketball players: sharp cuts, sudden acceleration, constant jumping and contact with 200-260lb giants.
Baseball players: have to run in a straight line 4 times a day. Body falls apart and die.

A nice win. Though I'll admit my first thoughts now are "oh my how embarrassing for Cleveland"

I wanted to fire pedro but....I don't know I like him not watching the eclipse.

I think the Sox affiliate branding is pretty great, but when a minor league team decides to in the opposite direction it needs to really lean into the silly.
Great slate today with the Jumbo Shrimp, Trash Pandas (top tier MiLB logo), Grasshoppers and Green Jackets
Knights are the worst. Barons is classic. Cannonballers is a fantastic hat. Dash I could take it or leave it.

If they ever really considered it, if he wants to do it, now is the time. If somehow he turns it around a bit, great. If the continue to suck this bad, he will never want to manage again.
If they continue to suck this bad, he'll never manage again by choice or not. But if he shows himself as less of a loose cannon with the media maybe he'll get a job on a team again.
-
I think Ozzie really really just wants to manage again. That's why he's taken some of the jobs in between.
I thought it was a bad idea for a long time, but with what we are staring at...good lord fine just take over.

You're prob right. I'm impulsive. I just don't think 30 days now in Kanny would destroy him. He is prob back at ST facility taking batting practice, playing catch, and lifting weights.
If our ST site was florida and not AZ it may not be as big of a deal but yoking him around across the country I think is a little tough for an 18 year old.

Not even sure the franchise can survive five more years of this…it will seem enduringly dismal. Relentlessly so.
And Luis Robert, Jr., is close to the point of having a permanent cloud hanging over his career.
The only potential stars/difference-makers left to protect are Crochet, Montgomery (if he matures into 25 homer power and sticks on the LH side of the diamond) and Schultz.
Despite the best org chart in the world, we should be a bit skeptical that Chris Getz looked at the state of the organization, had Dylan Cease, and said to his scouts "we need to prioritize acquiring pitching prospects first and foremost".

Speaking of the Kanny roster, Sox don't even have our # 14 Prospect, George Wolkow, on it. He played last year in the Rookie League and hit a little bit. He should be playing.
I don't think he should. There just isn't a great place to put players like him their first season. He will be in ACL and he should be in ACL.
I'm also think its probably fine to give these guys more backfield/training and less reliance on game experience exclusively to develop them.

Is there a better example for how stupid the anti-tanking attempts are than the 2024 chicago white sox? Sure, you could say they shouldn't have traded Cease and Bummer et al and have an even further, more painful recovery from this. But the White Sox gave a bunch of veterans jobs and are playing them over marginal prospects. It has made...zero fucking difference.
There are so many painful parts of living under a Reinsdorf fandom, but it is extremely bad that he is so willing to accept CBA rules that severely hinder his team, and his team the most. He'll side with the smaller owners to limit spending on the bigger teams and undercut labor...and also side with them to restrict the team building opportunities on big market teams that could also undercut labor.
Being forced to watch 110+ games but not being allowed to be in the running for Holliday because we could, in theory but not reality, have spent money on good players the last 5 years instead of $100 million in bullpen arms is just so brutal.
It did nothing to improve the quality of the league but is going to make it likely we are bad for 30 years.

He was mentioned numerous times after Ramos and Sosa and was at one point in the high teens or low twenties as a prospect.
We either believe in Getz’s OR outside perceptions that there was strong and steady progress in our second and third tier prospects or we don’t.
In the end, it only matters if they make it or not with another organization.
The revisionist history always becomes guys like Sosa Colas Rodriguez and Mena were never really legit prospects once they leave the Sox…and we blame Merkin or Boyer for overhyping them when you could only write so many stories about Robert, Hendriks and Burger last year.
He’s Both not a very good prospect and a better player to prioritize than this pathetic list of veterans that have not even buoyed Getz sinking ship remotely.

Consistent, embarrassing arguments that we shouldn’t make a big deal about the small, dumb decisions because we should, what, save our energy for the bigger, harder decisions they’ll inevitably f*** up? I have enough energy; yall dont need to worry.

What did he f*** up?
He’s barely a top 30 prospect at multiple outlets. There was significant regression on his plate discipline. They didn’t lose him for nothing. They traded him for cash which is what MLB determined he was worth
Good lord dude, a guy like Rodriguez should be worth more to the white Sox than cash or a bunch of old ass never wases they kept over him.
Everyone else is right and you are wrong. If it was June, I’d get it. It’s 7 games into the season.

anything in particular? Looked like a crap draft going over the names just now, not just for Sox, but everybody.
2016 draft was incredible and could have stocked the farm for a decade.
