To me firing him would be a silly PR move to try and convince fans the team is better than they are. We know that's crap. They are a 110 loss talent team. He ain't hurting anyone, they do that in their own.

Pedro would be 50 under .500 with a loss today. I know it's cosmetic, but can you at least fire him for ineptness?
What would the greatest manager of all time be with this lineup? 49 under? You can't win the Kentucky Derby with a plow horse.

Reds up 3-0, this game is over, teams have to be licking their chops with the White Sox on their schedule.
Two player reactions --
"I've started ten games in a row, I'll get some rest against the Sox"
"I haven't played in weeks, I'll start two or three when the Sox are in town."
Front office plans
" He has to serve a three game suspension? When are the Sox in town?"
Advertisers
"I think we need to spend more on women's bowling this year. Pull this Sox buys"
Sports writers
"Alexa, what are 100 ways to say suck?"

Q: How do we fix what is wrong with the Sox?

You have a kid practically in college. You're now also an out of touch idiot. Lol

I'll be shocked if this crew ever wins 3 games in a row.
I see one possible scenario of a three game win steak If a team comes to town really slumping, and the Sox won the previous series final game, they could win the first two in a series before getting blown out 23-0 in the next game.
They have Miami on the road so a three win is unlikely.
Here's the spot. On 7/14 they win the final two against Pittsburgh then they rest during the all star break and come back and win one against KC in KC.

He cares enough to tie up a multigenerational fortune in the team. I honestly believe he does care but isn't very good at knowing when to change directions. He's also loyal to the point that it has cost the team wins.
I'll agree with all of the other criticism of the man. He's stubborn, cheap at times, etc but I do believe he cares. Which actually makes this all the worst.

I wish he would have revealed where he thought the knife might be.

I was actually at Seton Hall for a college visit with the oldest kid. We noticed it and wondered what happened. Felt like being next to a heavy freight train. Looked it up and found it on the USGS page.
God telling you this is the school?

I remember watching the slow speed chase on the ER waiting room TV at Highland Park Hospital. I was picking up my wife after her shift and instead of hanging out in the back I stayed by the TV. Crazy moment.

Managers receive too much credit and too much blame. It just comes with the job.

The funny thing is... we rant how terrible the Royals organization is, yet they've been more successful than the Sox have since 2005. It's shocking how bad the Sox organization has been.
Yep, baby steps. Can't go from the worse to the Yankees in one giant leap.

The pitching continues to be better than most years. But we leave more people behind than the CTA.

What is the purpose of Maldonado other than being a former Royal? Guy is just absolutely terrible in every facet.

I actually like the ads on here now. I'd rather look at T shirt fails than baseball fails.

Pitching was good, defense made no errors…and they had absolutely no chance to win.
Cut and paste that until October.

The only free agents who would sign here are the players on the tail end of their career and have no other place to go. This is a team full of nomads just glad to have a job because no one else would sign them. This team, this organization is garbage and no one wants to come here. Why would a highly sought after free agent want to commit to a team with an owner who’s never signed a contract over $100 million? Even if he signed one, would he sign another if that is what is needed to win?
Liam came because of TLR.

I'm going to work. We adjusted the schedule and the entire school will be going outside.

You will see some guys who are still looking for another contract trying. You will see others just mailing it in, as they have nothing to play for, and this is likely their last stint in the MLB... This team is hopeless, and the players know it just as much as we do. Look at the bottom half of this order, and their leadoff hitter. These guys are all out of the MLB VERY soon.
I agree they will be out, but you don't get to this point by giving up that easily. I think we get fooled by the emotional outward signs. Sports psychologist generally try to move players away from the emotional outbursts of throwing helmets, punching walls, etc that we were conditioned to believe were signs of players trying. Instead we should see steady, focused, one pitch at a time, non emotional, playing. They may not be very skilled players, and many will be out of the league soon, but my guess is it will be their ability not lack of trying, ending their career.
That lack of ability, physically and mentally, will sometimes be seen as a lack of trying when they hesitate, slow down, etc.
I am seeing inept, old, less skilled players out there, but so far I'm seeing trying. But it's the Sox, they could decide they want to quiet quit and end their careers.

Players or front office? I believe the players are trying. It's their chance to try and start in the show. They ain't tanking for JR.

It just gives most of us another reason to root for them losing every game, so I couldn't care less. This team can't possibly sink any lower.
Careful, that sounds like a challenge that could win.

This makes no sense at all. But hey, I can’t wait to see Tim Hill continue to face righties in big spots.
I was speaking in general terms. Connie Mack (or insert your favorite manager) isn't going to get this team to win 80 games, but the losses would be closer.

Name any brilliant strategy a manager might try and the talent on this team will cause it to fail.
