Dick Allen

Roberts steal of 3rd where he got injured, was to pad his stats.. He's after 30 SB. Had a slow start in that department this year. Whatever it was, something finally woke him up earlier this season. He was Claudell Washingtoning it the first month or so.

Does anyone else ever notice when the media brings up his job status, Rick always seems to mention his Executive of the Year award? Fire him today.

If playing Elvis is your way to try to avoid 100 losses, it says a lot about where the organization is. And if major league wins right now are more important than development, why did the Sox trade all those guys at the deadline? These guys couldn't be straight with you if they tried. Pedro is in way over his head. Fire his ass with the rest of them.

They said they are working on something to "celebrate" fans. So Soxfest is done, until they win enough they feel safe. Cowards won't face the music. Just more lack of accountability. I wish someone in the media would call them out on it. For it to be August and they have nothing tells you all you need to know. These things are booked often years in advance. Tom Ricketts seems like a bit of a weasel to me, but he faced the music. I think I mentioned this before, but its often been written on the site that the White Sox hate their fans. I always used to laugh at the ridiculousness of that statement. But every passing year, it seems more and more likely that the statement is true. Fans are just the necessary evil to them.

If it isn't intentional, it's one of the most coincidental things ever. After watching Rick Hahn and Pedro on Monday, you can't believe anything this organization says. They really think we are the dumbest people on the planet.

The thing is Katz isn't in the bullpen during games, The name omitting for Middleton is so petty.

If you want a good laugh or perhaps a cry, google Pedro Grifol introductory press conference. 2 guys at the podium either lying about everything or totally incompetent, or both.

This is a nice call.

Liam in uniform tonight. Sporting a huge brace.

The highlight of last night had to be Aaron Boone mimicking Laz Diaz' strike three.

Considering he was stage 4 in December or January, there is a pretty good chance he played with cancer in 2022. Perhaps that had something to do with the injury then. As far as rushing him back, yeah, it probably was rushed, but a lot of that was Liam. He made it a goal to be back before he would have been eligible to be off the 60 day DL. Maybe that helped him recover.

Since their breakout 2020 60 game, no fans in the stands season, which was when the period of sustained winning, and multiple championships was supposed to commence, they are 2 games over .500, after winning 3 in a row. Mired in mediocrity. Hahn should write a how-to book about it.

No. But here it is for all to see.

How did it take Hahn this long to figure there was a cultural problem with the White Sox? And if, like he said, it takes time for a rookie manager to affect culture, why did he hire a rookie manager if the team is in its multiple championship window? When he hired him, he made no mention of a learning year, kind of stepping back. He's so full of s%*# his eyes are brown. Lauding the "leadership" Saturday night. What about the 5 games, 5 losses before that? And crying about what happens in the clubhouse stays in the clubhouse, yet then goes after Middleton with something that should have stayed in the clubhouse? Practice what you preach.

It probably doesn't seem like it to them, but Middleton did the White Sox a favor. They have to do something now.

Also double shot every times he takes a swig of Aquafina.

he's definitely going to get called up. Hahn already let that cat out of the bad. Just waiting until he's a bit more ready after his injury.. Then JR can ask TA for plane money for Yaz's flight home.

Clearly a bad ask by Grandal. Maybe if it to visit a side pieced TA would have had a different opinion.

It probably has to do with TA;s history of suspensions, and of the umpire report that probably confirmed he was the one who suggested duking it out. That said, I do agree, 6 to 3 seems a bit unfair. Now the interesting part. Is TA in the line up, or is he just going to sit and not appeal? If he's sitting, he's got a concussion.

Pedro talked a great game at his press conference, but executed none of it. Absolutely, none of it.

Loving players is not unconditional. All the posters who criticize others for falling out of love with TA are more than likely, hypocrites. They have fallen out of love or changed opinions of people after certain actions many times. The White Sox we love unconditionally. We are just very mad at them now.

Trestman is a pretty good comp to Pedro IMO.

There's a lot of truth here. Many people do what they can get away with.

Someone with a conscience. They won't quit today. They wouldn't let Middleton and Lynn basically show them the door. But something should have happened by now. There probably is even worse things being kept quiet.

Just like with a regular job, I'm sure everyone here has worked with a slacker who for some reason, usually brown nosing, is so in with the higher ups, you can't win. You do all the work, they get most of the credit. It wouldn't surprise me if these guys see others who are not held accountable, and since management doesn't treat them all as a team, can't really speak up without causing more issues.
