I'm like Rick Hahn, I'd just be happy to get a seat at any table.

That’s a hall of fame baseball person brother.

If Reinsdorf is in charge until 2029, he won’t be part of one when he gets the White Sox unless he lasts as long as as Jerry.

I've seen 2 developers, a politician, and Our Chuck just mentioned it the other day, but said he was then told it could work.

A lot of people in the know don't think 2 stadiums on the 78 is feasable from a space perspective, especially with all the add ons requred for a new place today.

Matt Wise was both. Assistant pitching coach is always out in bullpen. Hassler was out there for years. I suspect coaching changes are based on their contracts expiring. Not expiring, not fired. Expiring, possibl3 firing.

Wasn’t Bove an assistant pitching coach? If he just warmed people up, why ar people excited about him?

8 to 10 times a season is fine to go to Soldier Field. The Sox season ticket base would get hammered harder than 121 loss seasons if they played 81 games there.

He actually was much better defensively than advertised. He still isn’t the hitter Schriffen makes him out to be. He did have a glorious stretch, but per usual, regression to the mean occurred.

He’s the assistant pitching coach and a former pitching coach. He’s just warms people up?

That steward of the franchise and not the owner is the same BS Reinsdorf was spewing when he first got the team.

Thames was a Getz hire I believe.

If the bullpen is on the coach, how did the bullpen coach survive?

Was Ellard injured at the end of the season? If not, surprised he retired. At the very least he probably could bounce around for a couple of years and bank a million or so.

He probably blows but was a top 100 prospect recently. Worth a shot.

The way Schriffen spoke about this guy you would think there were multiple Cy Young’s in his future. No big loss, probably got crap back.

Perhaps, but things were trending that way with KW and RH. Still need to hire the right people, and while there is no doubt anyone would be hamstrung with this owner, it’s Getz’s willingness to be a yes man that got him hired,

They changed up the front office with a guy who was already there. Who according to you had nothing to do with the stink. He just sat there for years doing nothing. And he was hired so they wouldn’t waste a year. And they didn’t. They set a record for futility.

The problem is we’ve recently heard it all before, and it has led from supposedly being in a championship window to one of the worst 3 season stretches in the history of the league. I don’t let it run my life, like it may have 20 years ago, but White Sox fans have every reason and right to be pissed off, and to think their favorite team is run by clowns.

The record shows the White Sox have hired the wrong people. If they can lose 100 again in 2026 , which would be a 2 game improvement, they will be the first team in 90 years to lose at least 100 4 years in a row. All those bad organizations over the years haven’t been able to do it, but the Sox might. The fact that it doesn’t bother you makes you the meatball fan with extra sauce. You can go back through my posts, and you’ll see, I don’t really care what teams coaches come from. The Dodgers probably have some bad coaches in their organization, the Rockies probably have a couple of good ones. The fact that they keep going after KC guys is weird. They haven’t been very good for a long time. Even the last 2 years where it supposedly is turned around, is thanks to the White Sox. They are below .500 vs. everyone else.

His whole argument is if you think the Sox are hiring the wrong people you’re just being a meatball fan. So far those meatballs are batting 1.000.

Unfortunately, their hiring track record doesn’t bring confidence. I’m sorry if you think not buying what they are selling, having a show me don’t tell me attitude, not giving the White Sox any of the benefit of the doubt is meatballism to you, but buying everything that they are selling to me is akin to being in a cult. They lost 102 games 2 years after they were supposedly embarrassed they lost 101, and broke a record for losses in 2024. They made the GM hire because the owner said they couldn’t waste a year. So far pilfering the Royals coaching staff has lead to 324 losses in 3 years.

Sizemore is going to the Twins.

Royalstalk is probably bitching they are hiring White Sox rejects. The most important thing needed to be considereed a really good hitting coach or pitching coach or manager is good players.

I figured them for 5 wins this season. Lucky is nice. They will get some confidence. i think they only have 1 or 2 more wins left though. Get a decent draft pick and work on the defense.
