Hopefully Robert could lead off so he can maximize his opportunities to whiff. Is it crazy for me to think perhaps moving him down until he starts hitting again seems logical?

Who can argue with JR's approach. This is his 43rd season of ownership, and his team had that one year it won a playoff series. What ungrateful bastards White Sox fans are.

I honestly thought after Robert made that great catch yesterday, it was going to be the turning point of the season. He was smiling, the team was fired up. The next 4 batters scored, the game, and the season, were over.

Yeah, but the White Sox tried. Maybe have a parade and award them a participation trophy. Rick then can speak afterwards.

Actually he may have found a decision making job if he left then, I agree with you. Sox were coming off a great partial year, probably a little earlier than had been assumed. Now, who would hire him? Granted, he tore it down and did well with Sale, Q and Eaton because of contracts he negotiated. But not many teams will have that. Development and roster construction are not strengths. He obviously has a hard time with free agency. Filling holes is a huge problem. I could see a team hiring him for contract negotiation purposes, but he's working his last job as an MLB franchise personnel decision maker..

I just think the White Sox should have a huge advantage over their opponents in the AL Central. It really should be almost unfair. But JR's mom and pop operation has relagated the Sox to small market franchise in a lagre market, which is the worst of both worlds. He doesn't get the revenue sharing and extra draft picks small markets get. Not that it would make a difference with his choice of decision makets. But any other large market team in the AL Central would have dominated since inception. The White Sox have pretty much done the opposite of dominate.

JR had no problem saying Gene Lamont deserved to be fired after starting 11-20 in 1995 after being the first and only White Sox manager to lead his team to 2 division titles in a row. Obciously 1994 was a strike year with no playoffs, so an asterisk. If the White Sox really considered their roster to be title contenders, I'm sorry, Pedro has to be on the hot seat.

It was riskier to keep Hahn when they started the rebuild. It was riskier to keep Hahn when they got decent. They should have fired him when they canned Renteria. Hahn had already shown he can't correctly add to a team that may be ready to win. And it's played out to show exactly that. JR can't admit he's wrong, so Hahn will stay, and the Sox will continue to lose.

I don't think it's lack of effort at the plate. It's lack of a plan, or executing that plan. It, IMO, all comes back to baseball IQ. This team has traditionally not valued it in any way, but the times they have been successful, they have had players that had some high levels of it. I look at this team and wonder if there are 5 players who could tell you who Cal Ripken is.

Just an FYI, if the White Sox do what they haven't done all season, and win the next 2 games, they can be the 4th MLB team ever to start the season 9-16 or worse and make the playoffs. If they split the next 2 games, they can be the second team ever to make the playoffs with an 8-17 start. If they lose the next 2 games, no team has ever started out 7-18 and made the playoffs. The season is already over.This is supposed to be the middle of their window. Hahn needs to go today. Rick Hahn is a master of sustained losing. Mired in mediocrity would be a step up. JR has used the Step A to Step B bit many times with both his teams when getting rid of coaches and executives. Has there ever been anyone, withany team, in any sport, that has proven he cannot get a team over the hump more than Rick Hahn?

He will probably walk this guy.

Diekman in. Pedro waiving the white flag.

Through the first 25 games, 2 teams in MLB history won their division starting out 9-16: Ome team mad the wild card staring out 8-17. Sox will be 7-16. So the odds say, this season is ova.

We have all had similar thoughts 100 times the last year.

Maybe they have one but aren’t executing, but it sure looks like most of these guys don’t have a plan when they come to bat. I am not too impressed with the new hitting coach yet.

Hahn can’t fix 2B to save his life.

It just seems almost everyone they call up has a baseball IQ like they were just shown the sport the week prior.

Benintendi is sort of the new Juan Pierre.

I think we all know that won't happen. It's what teams that demand success do. Not teams that can't see fault in their ways.

I doubt the Sox score again tonight.

Lynn sucks.

The next time the Sox have too much pitching will be the first.

On this day in 2023. Lance Lynn talks like a tough guy after getting shelled in yet another White Sox loss.
