Nope, still smells like a pile of s%*#, even with a little grass smell wafting over it.

I mean red flag #1 is either Chris waited a year to clean house, or the whole idea that Chris has authority to do what he needs to do is false and Jerry put him off for a year despite telling us all this was a rush job.

FIFY

While many see it as lazy or not caring, I see a dude who is just mentally defeated and destroyed. He looks like he has zero confidence up there

Thankfully with Chris Getz in place we fired and hired everyone a year ago, so that we didn't waste a year with guys who were slowing us down.

It's all his handpicked dweebs anyway.

"The intent is there." JFC, this is where we are now? They intend? Give em all participation awards.

The pitching still looks light years ahead of the defense and offense.

When a team is so terribly overmatched, it looks like they aren't giving any effort at times, because they aren't good enough. Outside of a couple of guys, that is the case for almost all of this roster.

And the Clippers did it while competing with the much beloved Lakers.

Receipts

If you paid attention, when the rumored Reds deal happened in ST, I was all for it.

Which is why not dealing with the Reds was stupid.

Get this out of the way.

The warm weather and terrible franchise Oakland Athletics have eight runs today.

Can someone message me when all of these geniuses we hired start making a positive difference?

He has just looked lost since he got here, despite all of the undue hype.

Re-reading this is such a thrill. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5773947/2024/09/19/white-sox-failure-worst-season-history/

I am not quite ready to proclaim Sheets fixed yet, but it will raise some red flags if San Diego is able to to fix him that quickly.

The 50th best catcher at low A.

Counting your chickens a little quickly there? Didn't we learn this lesson, oh, last year?

Eh, honestly, with the failures of the people in front of him, I think giving the kid a chance, even if he massively fails, isn't a crazy ask. I think the frustration lies with doing things we KNOW don't work. I think the non-tender Vaughn crowd led by about a 90-10 margin this offseason, so it isn't surprising people are coming for Vaughn either. The Sox have a weird obversion to certain young players, despite a raging need for players who do exactly what they do.

Now we are talking

A rebuild isn't complete when you retain large parts of the former problems. The player development staff barely changed.
