It doesn’t benefit the Sox at all if he comes back this year. I wouldn’t even waste team resources on him. Tell him to go home and if he ever feels up to giving it a shot call the Sox back. Or just release him and let him pick his own rehab.The distrust with the tam goes back a long time. I remember Lorenzo Barcelo. He was supposed to be the crown jewel in the White Flag trade. KW was calling him a p**** because he said he was injured and the team disagreed. Turned out he eventually needed elbow and shoulder surgery.

He’s become nothing more than a shill for JR.

I think these guys asked great questions. The problem was, Getz danced around them. They specifically asked for a timeline. Said family members were worried they would be dead before the Sox were good again. That’s a very real question. Getz first laughed, then danced. In other words he has no idea when he thinks the Sox will be good again. At least they didn’t waste this season.

Ecksein had a career .701 OPS. He would bat clean up for this joke.

I know Sammy is young and all that for his level. But there just is not a lot of big time major league contributors who hit under .200 in a minor league season.

It would take the biggest turnaround of all time to get them into contention. Not from these clowns.

Don't forget the lockdown bullpen you told us he built, and how Nastrini was going to be great because of Spring Training. 28-89. Getz sucks. Expansion teams do better.

Getz fired his manager because he thought he had a roster that should win more games. yes Pedro and his idiot friends suck. But Getz is the GM for a team that may be historically bad. For that, he deserves the same fate he gave Pedro.

JR doesn’t spend on the players that help you win, He’d rather think Nicky Lopez helps you get to the playoffs just as much as Ohtani. That isn’t changing, and this time he’s kind of fucked because people were behind his previous rebuild and he had players fans bought into. Now they won’t buy into those players until they win, and they won’t win until JR spends.

That’s alright. I will continue to not spend on the White Sox.

Probably, but he was already here when Getz got the job.

My wife who knows nothing about baseball, hated Pedro. She thought he was pompous. That brings me to Getz. How does a GM of a 28-89 team with the 10th pick of the next draft , actually say this team isn't far off?

My thought is who has Getz added that you can say, wow, that guy is really going to help? Thorpe I guess. But he cost Cease, and who knows how long he lasts until surgery. The draft pick I liked. But everyone else is a fringe guy. He still hasn't acquired anyone that can make the manager say, we have to sit Sheets.

How so?

You can't make this up. 28-89 , his top prospect is hitting .210 in AAA and can't hit a fastball, and he says progress.

Pedro was in uniform and with another organizaiton.

They need to hire someone who has managed before. They need to learn from the Grifail. Pedro aced the interview. He aced the press conference, then reality snuck in, and he was in way over his head.

The good news is whoever eventually gets this job has a 99.99% chance of being an upgrade from Pedro. Of course I thought the same thing about Hahn.

I think its pretty telling that not only did they rid themselves of Pedro, they got rid of all his boys too.

If there had just been some proof Pedro had no business managing an MLB team before this season started......

What Getz is saying doesn't match up with keeping Pedro on so long.

So he goes from catcher coach which they supposedly didn't need because-Maldy, to bench coach. Makes perfect sense.

They might have snapped it without tying a record if they fired him sooner. That Royce Lewis AB, pitching to him with 1B open and the infield playing in. Walk him, get a weaker hitter up, set up the DP. Not Pedro. 3 run homer. 7-2 game, and it's over.

Its so Sox they waited until he won a game to fire him.

There really is no reason they didn't do this sooner. The rest of the season is all about not setting an MLB record for ineptitude. They can win the rest of their games, they can lose the rest of their games, they will be in the same draft position. No one will buy if Gavin Sheets gets hot, that he's a building block. Play the kids, they will be better away from this loser. Hopefully better enough to avoid the record.
