That's not the point at all. Nobody apologized exactly for the last three seasons, except JR with a gun to his head after 121 losses. Everyone who knew Martin Colson Mune C.Montgomery Vargas Schultz Grichuk Tristan Peters Burke etc. would be where they are at now should 1) be rich already from making these bets in Vegas/Atlantic City or 2) employed in a big league front office. If Hahn/Haber came out today and tried to take credit for 70-75% of the success of the 2026 Sox being related to "their" players, wouldn't they still be considered the laughing stocks of baseball? Or would there be a reconsideration, especially in light of Cease's/Rodon's/Crochet's success elsewhere, not to mention Tatis until this season's disappearance? (And isn't that result still far better than Paul DePodesta with the Browns, for example?) At any rate, I've watched more Sox games on a per hour basis in 2026 than 2024 and the first half of 2025 this year already...if other White Sox fans are tuning in again or going to games for the first time since 2021, that's a huge success in and of itself. Just like all the conversations surrounding the 1-1 and 2-41 picks and huge draft pool. Meanwhile, I'll be watching to see if the REAL Ron883 comes out over these next three days...

Who predicted over 80 wins? I don't think anyone was THAT high.... Would have to be smarter than 29 gm's paid $750k-7.5 million to be exactly right on forecasting Mune Colson Vargas and Martin.

Here's what he said.Former Sox SS Royce Clayton peripherally involved as Erickson had been out drinking with him prior to the incident.

https://nypost.com/2026/05/14/opinion/san-francisco-cant-let-baseball-be-baseball/ Giants' fans up in arms over a Kushner (Josh, Jared's bro) buying a minority share in the team, but he's actually a Democrat married to Taylor Swift's supermodel friend Karlie Kloss

Martin, Montgomery, Mune, Burke and Vargas make up the bulk of their fWAR. Then there’s the potential of Schultz and Taylor. Almost all of those decisions/evaluations came under Hahn except one. I guess if you want to project Teel and Braden into stardom before it has actually happened? Meidroth probably is a 2-3 fWAR guy, like Antonacci. Two “mini” wins there The Cease trade (especially in retrospect, he’s once again a Top 5 pitcher), Booser/Fajardo, Santos to Seattle, taking Hagen Smith over a BUNCH of positional prospects that have made significant impacts across MLB, not good. The Bummer for Lopez/Soroka move only looks better now, but for AZ. And Acuna? In addition, Mune is at least 50% Boyer, as every team shied away from him until he fell right in their laps, just like Abreu in 2014. If you want to give out awards, it’s probably Milwaukee for stealing Kyle Harrison from the Red Sox, or Chaim Bloom in St. Louis for really turning that team around in baseball’s toughest division. Or give them to Bannister and Venable… Lest we forget, the Sox are members of the very worst division in baseball. And that’s really quite fortunate for Getz, JR and Ishbia (at least for now) and especially Sox fans desperate for a pennant race after three years wandering in the desert.

Só is Yesavage, for now.

Well, there’s your/another argument for Roch over Emerson…

That was the point with picks like Collins Burger Vaughn Madrigal…supposedly safer, higher floors.

https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/matt-quatraro-looking-move-forward-205715799.html This goes back and the Royals had been playing well entering Chicago...something just seems off with that team and/or manager. They shouldn't be looking up at the Twins in the standings. Just didn't have that fight in them...desire to avoid the sweep, persistence perseverance resilience, whatever you want to call it.

Basically felt like Garcia Salvy Witt vs. an entire Sox 26 man roster.

Twins' fans seem to prefer Flora to Lackey. Guess they're already expecting to see Ryan and/or Ober dealt away.

He’s just never going to be that exciting dynamic highlight reel athlete…that’s always going to be the main point of critics.

Over 700 ops yet?

“In 12 to 24 months we have no idea how any of the current players or prospects will be performing.Some sink some swim and others who were invisible suddenly appear. What appears to be a glut of talent can thin out very quickly due to injuries and non performance.” White Sox thought pitching depth was a strength on the off-season. Now it’s suddenly not. Cannon and Sandlin, lol? Meanwhile, after the draft, they’ll suddenly be loaded with positional prospects. Complete 180. Cholowsky Carlson Braden Bonemer Antonacci Meidroth all fighting for starting positions. Maybe they also take Gasparino or Thome if it’s not pitching. Quero and Acuna soon to be cast aside.

Athletics at 22-21 also in first place. Jordan Walker drove in late runs and Riley O’Brien is second as a closer only to M.Miller. Cubs up 1-0 late over ATL in a battle of first place teams. Braves best record at 30-13. Make that 2-0.

He had an anomalous great offensive season for his age last year.

They’re getting along better. Steve rarely on the road and Schriffen probably picks up the tabs. Foodies. Calling him by his first name is progress. Noticed he still loses track of outs sometimes…but só do the players.

Meidroth and Antonacci pushing each other…internal competition/depth is a good thing.

Schiffren definitely has a better sense of where players stand now…especially struggling guys like Acuna and Quero. Instead of just blindly cheerleading for his favorites.

Just think about those position player FA’s signing by May 1st due to QO’s…75-80% of them struggled offensively over the following months. Kyle’s young, but you just never know. Guess his body/legs will tell him the answer.

They don’t need to force Teel up too quickly as long as they’re playing well without him or just to face the Cubs…

Wilson betemit…Ryan Sweeney

Quero can now be blamed on Hahn, lol Or Driveline/personal hitting coach and body changes
