Weird, I was just told that the way to get people to be better was to yell at them, and if it didn't work, they were soft.

We are going to go through a TON of pitchers again.

The front office is high is an interesting theory.

Yet here you are just as confidently talking about people who have opinions different than yours.

One of the lessons of the last decade it would be nice if the White Sox would learn it would be to quit rushing guys as a make up for horrible player development.

And very quickly wasn't wanted back for another year. And as to Eloy, hopefully getting him out of this toxic stew and into a well run organization brings his love of the game back. Baseball is so much better with a vintage Hi Mom Eloy. It would be nice if TB could figure out a way to keep him relatively healthy more than anything.

I see more of a failure of the front office to be held accountable, along with White Sox ownership. And saying you don't believe something, even with a plurality of evidence out there to support it, isn't a reflection of everyone else...

1000%

For where the White Sox are this year, they will have a ton of innings to fill. This isn't an awful idea.

Nah, everything is new, better, and different now. All good!

Yeah, this went so well with Tony, let's do it again! Oh no wait, everything is different and better now! The idea that people are failing because they don't yelled at enough is such a crazy flex that I just keep waiting for to die and go away.

I wish we could fail even a fraction of this hard.

Sure, I am sure in player development you don't work on the mental approach for game situations, or when you should bunt. I am sure the Player Dev people don't work with the teams coaching and management on game philosophy at all. All of these completely new hires doing completely new things is going to go great!

Not to mention a dude who lead the world in sac bunting and giving intentional walks, completely counter to analyitcal baseball in 2024.

Smartest thing he could have done.

And it seems really wild since we are literally trying to hire someone to run the Latin American scouting. So are we dealing a guy without our people knowing anything about him?

Probably for any one specific trade like this, but then you do it enough and Tatis happens.

Or he's wait for Chris Getz VI to create some new positions to fix everything.

I would think so to, but here you are making excuses.

The phrase is used when guys get physically stronger and add velocity. Hawk used to use it.

This is the biggest thing to hope for this year.

We did before the last rebuild too. Again, we've been here before.

He logged 150 days, which I believe is short of a year

He's also old enough that he could see a major age related decline during his control years.

We failed last year completely. Offense. Defense. Pitching. Minor Leagues gave us nothing. We made terrible trades, and failed at churning the waiver wire. You don't lose 121 games because of a bad offense.
