Dick Allen

I'm old enough to remember Wimpy, the most uncontroversial player ever saying LaRussa wasn't qualified to manage a lemonade stand.

I read somewhere that sucks to the Blackhawks because they take the cap hit. i guess with the rebuild it doesn't matter much, but it could.

Players make the HOF because they are great players. Managers make the HOF because they had great players. Tony seems to think his rosters resembled the 2017 White Sox but his genius made up for it.

Thats what really pisses me off. Every one of his "I'm smarter than you" don't make the obvious move moves, blow up in his face. At some point, it's time for the higher ups to call a clown is a clown. It's not only the fans that deserve better, it's the players as well.

Firing Tony would be admitting he was wrong. That takes time. No way he does it during the season. I am hoping Tony realizes he sucks and walks away at the All Star break. But other than that, I think he's here until the end of the season. Then I think it's almost guaranteed he isn't coming back. They will come up with some excuse other than being incompetent, although that will be the real reason. I am sure KW and RH and even JR know Tony isn't a guy that is going to lead a baseball team to a championship anymore.

Even Stone was flabbergasted Tony pitched to Torkelson. He tried to hide it, but couldn't.

Yes. Pollock hit RHP pretty well, but chances are he was in a far more balanced line up when he faced them with other teams. Pitchers can sometimes struggle finding their slots when the line up is balanced. A real LHH would do this team some good.

You could also say the people who thought the Sox should just spend the $1 million to buy out Kimbrel and spend the savings on a real left handed hitter probably had a better thought process than the Michigan, Harvard, and NU educated Sox GM.

I think this team is more like the 1984 White Sox than any other Sox team they have been compared. Huge expectations. TLR in the dugout. Can't hit. Can't catch, can't pitch when they have to pitch. IIRC, they started slowly, won a bit at the All Star break. Got a game or two over .500 and I think were in first place, before they started playing like they played most of the season again.

I get that, and you are most likely correct, although there are many players that just can't handle NYC. But I would definitely trade Pollock for him. You might be stuck with Pollock another year for 8 figures if he stays around.

Leury is a big time player. Don't look at the results. That's too easy.

Couldn't agree more. There is no question Rick is a smart guy, but there are plenty of smart guys that can't build championship baseball teams, and he has proven it many times he's one of them. Everything you wrote is true. How can they blame injuries when the same guys get hurt every year?

It's too easy to play withj a complete roster. That's why the Sox manager is the best. He makes everything complicated.

The Sox paid him the same amount they paid Rodon last year. He’ll be a revelation. As bad as this season has been for the team, it pales in comparison to the train wreck of an off-season Hahn had. Just brutal. He clearly can’t get the Sox where they want to go, and neither can Tony.

It was a nice thought.

The offense didn't show up for the biggest series of the season. It isn't like they are facing Cy Young type guys

How can 2 guys not tag up on the same play? Unreal, although i'm sure Engel didn't take because he saw Moncada. Also, if the Sox want me to renew, the better put in writing Joe Kelly will never pitch back to back games. Once a week is too much. That guy sucks.

Sox consulted with MLB. Game is on. Fireworks after the game is off.

Through 76 games 2019 White Sox 36-40 2022 White Sox 37-39 Look at the payrolls. I think even JR knows he fucked up with Tony, but he'll never admit it.

I really don't blame the Sox or Eloy for this dragging out. It seems the team doctors think he can play with it, and Eloy wasn't comfortable. If he's not comfortable, he's going to favor it and screw something else up. I think he'll be ready to contribute soon after his return.

Even Leury had admitted he's sucked.

Any Hendriks update? They were shooting for July 1.

Just remember results don't matter. That's too easy.

Especially the Bulls. Look at all the shit the Bulls fans sat through while lining JRs pockets with cash. If he’s afraid of the tax, they aren’t going to win. I hope the people wHo give him all their money realize it and stop going to games, Get back to pre Jordan where they are lucky to draw 6k.

Not caring about results because that is too easy is all the proof you need this guy is all about trying to show everyone how smart he thinks he is rather than winning a baseball game.
