I would hope our baseball people aren't out negotiating TV deals.

All so Jerry can make a few more bucks off of us.

Sure, but also the ratings had already collapsed last year.

Again, take your own advice. If you want to post long lectures on how to act, you should probably be doing it yourself. Be better.

I think you need some advice from someone who had deep thoughts on one upsmanships and personal digs.

Looking him up, it looks like he has way over pitched his stats because of a .118 BABIP. Looks like regression is probable, but it is nice to see someone overachieving. xERA 3.01 FIP 4.82 xFIP 3.53

The Blackhawks have seen their viewers on their home network down almost 80%!!! https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6297335/2025/04/21/blackhawks-chsn-viewership/

Nice confession.

You keep saying this, but we are owned by a guy who literally had a stadium built for him in Tampa just in case he didn't get bribed with a free new stadium in Chicago... and is seemingly doing is again.

I mean it is obvious the point lately is to try to point out that other GM's have failures and to try to contextualize that in perspective with what Getz has "achieved" to this point. All it does for me is show that the gap between Chris Getz and these other teams shouldn't be somewhere around 30/40/50/60 games depending on who we are talking about because they make mistakes as well, which in theory, SHOULD allow the White Sox to close those gaps. Yet, here we are setting all time loss records, while the attempted smear of the LA Dodgers shows them 60 plus games ahead of the White Sox in each teams respective last full season, or 50 games in the case of the Baltimore Orioles, despite how stupid these GMs apparently are. The concluding question is how bad at his job does that make Chris Getz if he is 50-60 games behind these guys making obvious mistakes?

It's like Everyone Poops, except the GM version Everyone Fails! As if that makes it all better. Bottom line, every time Getz fails at another one of these, the timeline for the Sox falls further back.

So Chris Getz traded for a failure? That's better?

Or ask why with all of this industry consensus talent, he is absolutely failing here?

Here's the thing. We keep getting told about how all of these new guys need time to start showing their changes, and that we should start to be seeing their changes. Now all of the sudden during this new leadership, we have a huge spike in major surgeries, six so far, maybe 7 depending on what happens with Perez. It is fair to ask if it is something new that is being done, or taught, that is leading to this mess. Historically the Sox were on the bottom of these numbers under Don Cooper, and with the change to Katz, we moved to the middle. Now with Bannister being added to the mix having a year in the system, the guys he has been teaching are getting THE injury and surgery. Why is that?

6* Tommy John surgery's in the span of a couple of months is crazy.

Thanks Obama.

It's always great when your biggest problems turn into your best excuses. Instead of asking why we are running laps around the baseball in number of major injuries, Getz get to use it to insulate himself from accountability. Instead of asking ourselves why we are running into icebergs, we are just blaming the sinking for the deaths on board.

I think Cannon is more of a 3 ER in 6 IP kind of pitcher, but everything is magnified when you do everything badly.

Man would it be nice to get literally anything for him.

Omar has self-yeeted himself from the White Sox and declared free agency instead of going back to the minors.

It turns out we have more than this year to go off, like last year for example.

Yeah, he's got room for improvement for sure, and the walks are it. But I don't think he has much more to go after that.

He was never a high ceiling guy. High floor, low ceiling with a top of mid to back rotation guy.

The Orioles failing to use their surplus talent to acquire talent where they were in deficit is a great example of a GM failing at his job. In fact, with as much time as you spent crowing about how young hitting talent isn't getting traded, it is probably even worse because the pitching returns for that young talent should have been higher than historical norms because of said imbalance. But that still doesn't excuse the Sox for having a massive deficit of hitting talent. It is just an attempt at a handwave to make additional excuses for Getz by dragging someone else's differing failure into the conversation.
