  1. The White Sox seem to not understand that player development in Japan, American and other countries are different and as such need to take these differences into account when building a roster.
  2. All goes back to the Bears and White Sox failing to hire anyone with a proven track record. Maybe Warren is the guy as he has some backstory but none of it revolves around winning football games.
  3. They certainly like to batter the young guys while those expected to succeed are allowed to flounder with no recourse. I am nto certain I recall a moment at all from Eloy. Feels like he has been out injured all season. What a s%*# show.
  4. Fields checked down way to often. That is why there were no down field throws. The new guard stinks as does the center and maybe Whitehair does as well I don't really know. The DC should be the first guy to go. The D line gets zero pressure and they do nothing about it. All that being said, what does Eddie Jackson actually do out there other then wave his arms around after giving up a long gain?
  5. Look at those rosters. Doesn't take much to be in that race. With that being said, how the Padres, Mets and Cards not sniffing the playoffs is something.
  6. It's becoming rather amazing how bad and also how good some of these guys ae. I get missing a strike at an innocuous time but to end the game.
  7. Working for fools doesn't make him a fool but he has shown nothing to lead us to believe he is not a fool. He needed to tell the world why he was the right choice. I have yet to see him tell me anything anyone that worked for the White Sox and was somewhat educated could state thus far. He is going to be as epic a failure as anyone in that bird brained organization.
  8. He is an idiot. How that was not exposed in the interview process tells you everything you need to know about this clown car.
  9. He's gotta be selling this team this offseason and wanted to f' over Hahn and Williams for wasting the last 12 years of his life right??????????
  10. The amazing thing about people that crap on him is how clueless they are. The guy was was high draft pick that suffered injuries. This is not a guy that unexpectedly figured something out. This is truly indicative of how lost this organization is. This was a guy that in 2018 was looking like a guy. Well now he is a guy. He was too solid of a ballplayer for this organization. Madrigal is heading that way as well. Can't wait for any young player with an ounce of talent to be traded for Salvy Perez and Jameson Talllion this offseason.
  11. I just saw the score. Not certain I'd consider myself a fan at this point. This is rock bottom and I've been a fan for over 40 years. Zero interest in these losers.
  12. That was an embarrassment and that needs to be the top story. What a fucking joke of an organization. Getz had zero confidence in anything he said. He and Pedro are both losers.
  13. they don't even have a media relations person. Why was Benetti running the press conference.
  14. Can't they in future hire a GM and remove that role from Senior VP?
  15. My take on this and I need to keep on the rose colored glasses to keep my sanity. KW never invested in player development. I'm not sure what Hahn ever knew about anything related to any aspect of life. He is the epitome of word salad. That being said, the brand of baseball the Royals played while Getz was there was solid and got them to two WS. He obviously has done nothing beneficial here but I will give him the benefit of the doubt. hopefully there is a solid model that he pitched to JR. Whatever he told JR he got him to fire two life long employees that were not even given the opportunity to depart on their own terms. You know those internal interviews JR was having, Getz nailed his for sure. The press conference needs to be two hours long and it needs to ask pertinent questions to appease the fans and the media. He needs to explain how he got the job and why he failed. He needs to address the player development, analytics and this horse s%*# offense. My guess it will be 30 minutes of bullshit answering nothing.
  16. I'm getting caught up but he is selling to the highest bidder. If the offers are close then he certainly goes wit his shitty vison.
  17. Everyone tries to schedule patsy. You need two to tango. I think Rice's new AD and HC don't have the connections at programs to come to an agreement. The conference schedule controls week 3-9 and home and away. Next year if Maine South and Marist are two year agreements. They could have 4 straight at home. Depends on how things play out. BR is a nice team but other then the JR LB I don't think they have real major talent but are a solid club.
  18. Evans was Hahn pre-Hahn. Didn't want to play second fiddle to KW and left. Seems to have never really recovered and succeed like many other White Sox folks that find greener pastures. I recalled thinking I wanted him over KW.
  19. The Sox would be best served in the west loop, that area is as good if not better then Lakeview or in a makeover of the Loop but then traffic would be an issue in the actual Loop. Baseball traffic is 15-50% of that of football so Soldier Field could be an option then ISBE builds Soldier Field on 35th and the Ryan.
  20. The f'd up thing is other then Grandal this is the currently chosen core from day 1 of this season. Sure maybe Andrus was going to be become something he wasn't but in essence this is the lineup that you could have imagined for this season. And they suck, all of them, except Robert. I think this is what is killing me this season.
  21. Not sure if that was the tweet but it is was similar that had a response that those three guys that are proving it's not a rebuild are a combined negative or barely positive. I hope Grifol is just a yes man and is not that big of an idiot.
  22. The most spectacular stat of the Rick Hahn era is that the longest winning streak was 7 games and it happened once. The 0 and whatever when striking out 14+ batters is another example of how poorly constructed his rosters were. I don't care if he had free reign or not he was abysmal.
