JR did say they were going to do whatever is necessary to give White Sox fans the team they deserve/

Right it could be 9 years. And JR could croak tomorrow and his son could run the White Sox the next 9 years like he runs the Bulls. The Bulls yearly goal used to be more commonly known as "NBA hell".

4 years is a while. 4 years ago, the Sox were pretty good.

Wake me up in 4 years.

Their advertising revenue has to be at an all time low. Top Notch Burgers ads? High School sports can get that. Maybe this will help them.

If the Rate is the worst park in MLB, MLB has no problems with ballparks.

I agree with all points.

A lot of Ubers as well.

Makes me wonder if he's older than advertised.

There's a lot of BS in his statement. Of course there was a lot of BS in his reason to hire Getz. The real reasons probably were loyalty to JR and $.

Here was JR after last season: To White Sox Fans, By all measures, our on-field performance this season was a failure. As the leader of this organization, that is my ultimate responsibility. There are no excuses. I want to thank you for continuing to support the team throughout what was an embarrassing season. You all deserved better. This season’s performance was completely unacceptable and the varying reactions and emotions from our fanbase are completely understandable. While embracing new ideas and outside perspectives, we will do everything we can to fix this for 2025 and the future. This will include further development of players on our current roster, development within our system, evaluating the trade and free agent markets to improve our ballclub and new leadership for our analytics department, allowing us to elevate and improve every process within our organization with a focus for competing for championships. In fact, change has already been happening in our baseball operations group throughout this past year. When named general manager in 2023, Chris Getz and his staff immediately began conducting a top-to-bottom evaluation of our existing operations.

Exactly. Some sort of scam like that.

Yes, I’m sure that number is right, what I am saying is any discounted ticket doesn’t count towards JRs deal with the state.

Ran the D Backs into the ground. Helped Dombrowski get fired in Boston, and the Angels are the Angels. Maybe just maybe he isn’t the baseball genius JR thinks he is.

According to the broadcast, except for Robert, every hitter is redhot. Every pitcher is nails, and they are somehow on a 49 win pace. This organization totally sucks.

Pkesac is fine but you would think by game 6 he would know the CF last name.

There is a technicality that they have to be full price tickets. So when they give a Family Sunday discount or some other sale, those tickets do not count toward the total.

If JR doesn't allow people to do their jobs, and Getz worked for him for 6 or 7 years so he would know, why would he want the Sox GM job? JR is awful, but he can be overcome. See Himes, Larry.

Who was the Minor League Director for a good portion of Hahns tenure? This is the issue. The guy has had his chance and he failed upward You need to be pretty drunk to think he is the guy that is going to fix this. Now, they compare everything to last year. The most losses in the history of modern baseball. And a slight uptick has some excited. They are a garbage organization.

I agree. He's not worth the plane fare to Charlotte. But I'm also not going to be upset about what they get for Matt Thaiss.

I hope the White Sox are right because when this guy is clicking, he's insanely good.

Maybe that's JR's plan. Get this team so bad, people get excited about being "mired in mediocrity". Its' a lot easier than shooting for 2nd place.

I didn’t see much of the game, watched a bit over the weekend and kept hearing on the broadcast how great the hitters are, how great the pitching is, how great the prospects are, and on top of that, maybe the greatest coaches ever assembled. How are they 17-37?

What I don’t understand is if they think his mechanics are the issue, since he already had TJS in high school, why would they let it get to this point before they tried to do something about them?

I’m old enough to remember when Marco Paddy was the savior. The more things change, the more they stay the same. There is one change that will help, and that doesn’t seem imminent.
