I mean I know we like to assume all these guys are happy because they are well paid and big leaguers but nobody, no matter how well paid, enjoys a miserable work environment. Losing sucks. These guys are hyper competitive, that's how they got to MLB. Losing to them means they are failing, at least to 9/10, regardless of what the check each month says on the front. There's no leadership. You traded away the clubhouse leader in Abreu, and Grifol? LOL, that dude couldn't lead a group of boy scouts it appears. Leadership isn't really that big of a deal until s%*# hits the fan. Well, it's hit the fan now. These is a bad team, but it's not a 110 loss bad team like they have been playing. Leaders would be able to regulate the emotional state of the clubhouse in a situation like this and get everybody pulling in the same direction again. But we don't have any, so I'd expect things to remain about how they are.

That trade was fine, good even. The problem has been pretty much every thing that has come after it, including AKME giving up on Lauri too soon and also bringing in Vuc before the team really needed to make a big move like that.

I'm either happy for you or sad that happened... Nah, good post. I feel bad for any young parent that wants to get their kids into sports and the baseball team being the White Sox. Most of us were lucky enough to at least enjoy some good, entertaining Sox teams in our youth. Anybody under 15 or so has had two decent years and a ton of s%*#, and that's unlikely to change anytime soon.

White Sox baseball: fucked in 4K. Rated NSFL.

he's not going to sell he's just going to pass it down to Michael.

What the actual f***? That is like some s%*# from the Soviet Union. No, the reactor didn't explode, just a minor issue with a few burst pipes! Hiring someone with that lack of emotional intelligence is surprising and imo it speaks to a deep rot in JR's ability to run a big organization like the Sox. I don't think 15 years ago he has such incapable marketing people in place. I believe he's lost quite a bit off his fastball, as expected in his mid 80s. It's grim, but we are fucked until he dies. Even then, Michael has been a disaster running the Bulls so far, so even death might just prolong out misery.

His contract isn't guaranteed I'd imagine. Tell JR he can save a few bucks having TA as player manager.

He wasn't part of the solution, but it turns out he wasn't the problem either.

We've fell down another rung. Certainly a bottom is approaching...

We're now 3.5 games back...OF THE DETROIT TIGERS.

Nick Madrigal currently has an ISO 40 points higher than our big corner OF signing.

We cut Leury to give his time to Romy. We didn't save any salary. Another self scouting error.

We might have the worst pitching staff in MLB.

Tmr's: will the Sox ever get an out?

describes TA as well now. All of our hitters, the longer they play here, get worse. It's unreal. What are we doing? Why does TA only look middle out now? Why do Eloy and Robert stand a billion feet off the plate with a wide open stance only to not be able to pull the ball with power middle in? And forget about junk away, they will never be able to cover that part of the plate with their approaches. A guy that hasn't been around the Sox too long like Burger actually has a productive approach and can cover most of the plate while pulling the ball with power.

I'm firmly in middle age now and I've been a big sports fan for over three decades now and I really cannot remember a team that expected to at least be decent that stumbled this bad out of the gate. They aren't just losing, they are not even competitive.

is Romy the worst player on a MLB roster? He could very well be. A zero tool player.

Despite what some will tell you a lot of development still happens at the MLB level. Hell, remember that video of I think it was the 1st base coach teaching fielding that went viral last year? We don't have a single guy like that around in our org. We have dead wood like Boston and super Joe.

He's one of the guys where his arm just didn't really come back after TJS. He also had some shoulder issues IIRC, sucks, but that's pitching.

Andrew Vaughn is now at a career -1 fWAR. Another wasted draft pick. Maybe in three years he's an average regular.

Zavala is one of our better hitters. That's...something.

Did Jack Parkman ban or self ban? Haven't seen him lately.

the short stubby non athlete looking dudes the Jays have actually take a lot of walks and hit for power. Huh. Wonder how we could find some of those guys.

kopech shaking his shoulder, great.

that didn't take long.
