I know we are seeing the white washing of the 2024 season into they knew this was happening all along, but if you actually watched the moves made in real time, and then the panic that took over when the Sox were a couple of months into a 40 win pace, this was not on purpose. I don't care what we are told, you don't make the moves the Sox made for, and in, the 2024 season if you know you are going to lose 100+ games, let alone 121.

At the end of the day the one person who is most responsible isn't going to change in Jerry Reinsdorf. He's the one who approves the budgets. He's the one gumming up hires and fires. He's the one not approving high end free agent contracts. He's the one hiring GM's without looking outside of the organization for decades now. More even than Getz, as long as Jerry is around, the same problems are going to be present under the surface.

The defense will be helped immensely by an offense who can keep the defense off of the field for longer periods of time.

I know we are in this feedback loop here, but the same stuff has been said over and over to Sox fans. We heard all this about Rick Hahn too. He brought in all of these great hires.n He's going to be able to things that Kenny was never allowed to do. He's got this great farm system. We've done it all before. You will have to excuse those of us who aren't contented by being force fed the same lines we have heard from decade, by the same toothless media who was saying the same stuff about the previous guys, until the coup and now they are all welcome their new alien overlords. I will believe it when I actually see results change.

Because the same lecture on how we should just be happy is way better.

I would much rather see my tax dollars go to educating the general public much better than it currently does, especially in critical thinking.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Sad to hear that his body couldn't support him.

How did I know exactly who this post would be from.

It is Step 1 towards changing the narrative, but eventually they have to be serious and convert.

This here.

No he is being blamed for developing literally no one.

I might feel bad if they had a history of actually trying, but they have 100% earned their reputation.

Well this saves Sox fans some time.

You not understanding things after all of this time doesn't negate your circular logic. I would hope if you saw it, you would fix it, though I guess I shouldn't assume that.

The circular logic is just wild. Everyone else failed. We never drafted anyone who could be developed, including multiple consensus top 10 picks, and every single draft pick after. All of the players we acquired from other organizations were either un developable, or Chris didn't have enough time with them... but the guy who had zero involvement in any of those failures learned them all well enough to know how to fix them all, mostly because he was the only one to ever ask for resources, and the notoriously high spending JR w as so impressed he threw everything at Chris and gave him everything he needs.

Funny how the guy who was in a so called "entry level position" was qualified to run an entire baseball franchise's front office operations after all of those failures.

The blame obviously goes exclusively to those who were fired.

The plan was Jerry was keeping that money for the investors.

Some of us need to read up on Sunk Cost Fallacy.

Sure appears that way. Next verse, same as the first.

Even if we have three legit starting catchers between Lee, Quero, and Teel, you will easily be able to trade one. The odds of us having three real starting catchers is as near zero as the Sox playoff chances.
