This exactly.

Charlie Montoyo is our current bench coach who will probably be interim. Shumaker is Skip Schumaker, currently managing the Marlins but a lame duck right now who seems to be on the outs in MIA. He has a connection back to TLR and has already been mentioned as a leader for the full time job.

I will echo that he seems to get the public facing side of the job, but the stories about him from different sources don't make him sounds like the same guy behind closed doors.

Glad Tim got to what should have happened two weeks ago, but cool.

It is almost certainly going to be Montoyo or Schumaker.

I doubt Getz even wastes time pretending it is his choice. They aren't letting Getz pick. Jerry and Tony are picking for him.

Except we will be looking 100-120 game next year too.

Images that precede fortunate events.

Gladney was in that bucket of guys with some loud tool, but also some very flawed part of their game (most typically strikeouts or hit tool) that we were hoping would have a breakout year, but to a man never really did.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I know we joke about guys never working again after managing the White Sox, but I hope this dude saves his money, because I can't imagine who could look at the nuclear destruction of a back to back playoff team that happened under his watch, and thinking that is who I want leading my 2 billion dolllar operation.

Over 100 games under .500 in under two seasons. That is so absurdly bad, like it is hard to comprehend how hard that is to do. I might even be a bit more excited, but I am sure our choices going forward are either Montoyo or Tony's boy Schumaker.

Pedro: I'M GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!

I honestly thought it would never happen. I don't really want to congratulate the organization for doing something any other group would have done months ago, but ok.

We refuse to adjust to 2024 and instead want to run an organization based on how the Brooklyn Dodgers and David Eckstein did it.

That is probably also fair. They don't have to throw him a strike because who is going to drive him in if he walks?

He sounds like everything we hoping Nick Madrigal would be

Indiana kid that won gold.

I just couldn't put faith in the Sox to fix his flaws when so many other similar players have failed.

That's not the BYOB we all hope for

This sounds vaguely familiar for some reason...

I'm not.

It is probably some combination of A and C.

And even many of those "safe" picks they are afraid to play.
