What would a wasted year look like?

It hit him so he was out. The umpire has such a tight zone today, how are you swinging at something that hirs you.

Why do they keep saying today is the first 1pm start of the season?

Pedro was right about Maldonado. He said he wasn't a .180 hitter, and he's not. He's an .080 hitter.

He was playing too FAST.

Crochet obviously nowhere near as sharp as he has been, but it still should be scoreless.

Can’t waste a year.

Just have to flush it. White Sox train with Pedro at the wheel slows down for no one.

If you were successful at it.

You're making things up.

It's weird, you contend he had no say in the matter, zero power, but somehow was good at his job. That makes no sense. If you don't really think they asked Getz about players, what the f*** was he doing? Picking up calzones for JR?

I would think he had a say, yes.

Why throw anything else when they aren't touching him? He was insane, especially that first inning. That was the Michael Kopech that was hyped before he ever made the major leagues. In an era of max effort, a lot of guys throwing 100, he was saying here it is, and they had no chance.

SOUTH SIDE. STAND UP.

That was a wild pitch. But...... Steve Stone

I think he wants to win, but his way, and that way doesn't work anymore. Managers make next to nothing. He can't be afraid of eating money. If the guy can't do the job, you are sabotaging more games.

There is not one team in professional sports that would have kept Pedro after a season like that where they thought they were a Championship quality team, except the one we pay attention to.

If there's an ounce of truth to this, JR doesn't care about winning. According to Bob, there's a decent chance Pedro only makes 6 figures. If you can't or aren't willing to pay less than $2 million for him to stop hurting your team, you don't care about winning.

Think about it, no one has been this inept for 20 years, and they are trying to spin it as it's just a streak all teams go through. It's obnoxious.

I think Jirschele would be perfect. Young guy, let him make some mistakes when they are bad. If he's half as good as they hoped he would be, he should be ready to be really good when the team at least might win games regularly.

I think an internal hire would love the job. And you can look good pretty quick even if you lose 90 games. You are replacing 62-110 who says nonsensical things before and after every loss. I can't see Ozzie wanting it, or AJ if there doesn't appear to be a chance to be any good, but anyone at this point is better than Pedro.

The last team to score this few runs their first 10 games were the 2004 Montreal Expos. They turned it around and only lost 95 that year.

Do Getz and Pedro like this team? They can ask Pedro after Getz answers.

Somewhere Rick Hahn and KW are probably chuckling over this start. But really, they should be embarrassed. They still have plenty of blame.

Benny's a hitter, man.
