4-25 Game thread Sox @ Twins, lucky #7? 12:10 CDT 1st pitch
Dick Allen replied to southsider2k5's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Sheets is the only White Sox on pace for 100 hits, and just barely. -
4-25 Game thread Sox @ Twins, lucky #7? 12:10 CDT 1st pitch
Dick Allen replied to southsider2k5's topic in Pale Hose Talk
I knew they would be bad, but I figured they would be better than last year. They still have to play 22 under .500 to match last season, but it's obviously heading that way. If they play .500 from here on out, they will lose 90 games. -
I dont see the point. If he wants to opt out, who cares?

It was a great career, Jose, but what's up this season?
Dick Allen replied to greg775's topic in Pale Hose Talk
I think its higher velos. Hard to catch up to gas as you age, and if you can't hit a fastball, you're pretty screwed. Wasn't so bad when guys were throwing maybe 92 and hitters were all hopped up on steroids. Stone was saying how little Jax throws his fastball last night, and he had 97 MPH cheese. -
4/24 - Good Guys @ Twins 6:40 CT - Crochet Vs. Ryan
Dick Allen replied to T R U's topic in 2024 Season in Review
The Sox haven't won a game yet when they didn't score first. Flush ir, reflect and learn. This mid lower end pocket is tough. -
4/23 - Sox @ Twins 6:40 - Fedde vs. P. Lopez
Dick Allen replied to WestEddy's topic in 2024 Season in Review
They had him on the postgame show saying this. Ozzie said he was right, it isn't going to last forever. The season ends in October. -
I don't know if you know this, but he's a legend.

And all they had to do was give them a billion or so and they would have stayed.

Umpire didn’t help the Sox, but these guys are losers. They prove it every day.l -

We might get to stand up tonight. -
They need the money from the state. They also are going to have a tough time with friends of the parks. Tomorrow’s deal is the same thing the Sox did when they rendered drawings, exciting a lot of people.
-
So do I, that's why they will ultimately wind up in Arlington Heights. They will show some drawings, just like the Sox did a while back, and that will excite a lot of people, but when it gets time to pay, they are going to be SOL with the state.

No player symbolizes Chris Getz Player Development like Lenyn Sosa
Dick Allen replied to bmags's topic in Pale Hose Talk
The reason Getz got the job is because he would take it and kiss the ring. Payroll is down huge. The first question any candidate from another team would have asked him would have been about payroll and budget. If JR was straight wtih them, they would have ended their candidacy right after they got done eating the meal JR bought them. -
4/22: Sox @ Twins - 640CT - Cannon v. Paddack
Dick Allen replied to ChiSox59's topic in 2024 Season in Review
I agree with the replacement, that's why I think it has to happen ASAP. Get someone who can make mistakes and it won't cost you the playoffs now, and when the team is ready, they will be ready as well. -
4/22: Sox @ Twins - 640CT - Cannon v. Paddack
Dick Allen replied to ChiSox59's topic in 2024 Season in Review
In his introductory press conference he talked about being prepared, and accountable. Being fundamentally sound. Ready to kick the opponent's ass every night. He used controlling both sides of the ball, which meant getting ahead in counts pitching, and taking pitches hitting. I thought he was great. I was wrong. Everything he talked about has been a failure of epic proportions. I realized now he was saying what he thought the guys above him wanted to hear. He's a brown noser. Can't kiss Rick and Kenny's ass anymore, so he kisses Getz' and JR, even Tony's HoF baseball persons asses/ -

Dick Allen replied to bmags's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Someone is trying to argue missing Moncada, Robert and ILoy for 20 games is all the difference when this team has been outscored 123-45. If all 3 of them were that good, they would make Ohtani look like he's making minimum. And they played about as much as they ever play last season and the team lost 101 games. -

Dick Allen replied to ChiSox59's topic in 2024 Season in Review
I have already told you I also think this team would be bad with anyone managing, but it's obvious Pedro is not the guy. Why continue with his BS? Bring in someone new, see what they can do. if they are just as bad as Pedro, fire them. They need to eventually have someone in place who will be good when they are capable of being good. I'm not blaming it all on Pedro, but he has got to get some of the blame. He's awful. I thought he would be great. All talk, now he can't even speak without saying something stupid. -

45 runs scored 123 allowed. I think it's time to stop blaming Robert, Moncada and Eloy all going down as the reason they are bad. If those 3 were that great, JR wouldn't be paying them. -
Just wait until Tommy Pham is ready. Then they really will be playing FAST.

I thought he called a few more strikes off the plate against the Twins last night anyway. -

Even bad players can play the correct way. -

Dick Allen replied to ChiSox59's topic in 2024 Season in Review
If the players aren't listening to this guy, it's time for a new guy. They are major leaguers, they are capable of throwing to the right base, holding runners on, doing rundowns correctly. 64-120 is all you need to know. i though 61-101 was the bottom, but 3-19 is an all time franchise worst start. -

Dick Allen replied to ChiSox59's topic in 2024 Season in Review
They can make them throw to the correct base, or do a run down correctly, and if they can't do that, not play them. "When they hired him, I was excited. His introductory press conference was music to my ears. He has failed in every aspect. I understand a new manager isn't going to make this a playoff team, but it's pretty clear if this was a playoff caliber team, Pedro would mess it up. Get him out of here.
