Moore Getz Grifol Hostetler Haber Buddy Bell

Cease for Kelenic and MiLB pitching headed our way this offseason...

You called her a Chinese woman, lol. Even if she was born there (which I'm 99% isn't correct)...she's currently not Chinese, she's American. Personal attacks and/or references to The Bozo Show are not allowed/tolerated by SoxTalk moderators.

Yeah, we just don't have the horses or the injury records to play that Guardians/Orioles style of baseball. 2014-15 Royals. Vince Coleman, McGee, Herr, Jack Clark 1980's Cardinals' aggressive style as well as the Wilson/Brett/Frank White Royals. Of course playing on AstroTurf or domed stadiums made a huge difference, thinking back to the 00's Twins and early 90's Blue Jays team. Now it's the Rays as well.

Kimberly J. Ng is an American executive in Major League Baseball. Chinese-American, ABCD or East Asian American.

At least we're not the Angels? https://sports.yahoo.com/shohei-ohtani-mike-trout-hurt-110005051.html Talks among other things about possibility the Big A was built on ancient Native American burial grounds and it was covered up. Also about a witches' coven that cursed Bobby Bonds. "Jane Newell, the city of Anaheim’s local history curator, couldn't verify a Native American village, let alone a burial ground, under the stadium when interviewed by Dufresne. Newell remains on the job and still has no definitive information on the subject. "I do remember directing Chris to the local tribal leader," she said. Dufresne learned that the Juaneños tribe lived for 10,000 years in hamlets along the Santa Ana River bed that runs adjacent to what is now Angel Stadium. Juaneños remaining in Orange County cannot verify whether the stadium was built on sacred ground because laws protecting Juaneño land from developers were not enacted until the 1970s. “A lot of that stuff was ‘hurry up and bulldoze the area before anybody knows,’ ” Juaneño tribal chief David Belardes told Dufresne. “They could have hit something and kept it very quiet.”

Still have Benetti/Stone for another year or two before Beckham/McKnight/Monaco. Obviously others like AJ, Pods, Big Hurt and Ozzie might throw their hat in the ring as well. Just feels 90-95% like Gordon with the Getz Connection.

Still not an 800 hitter even after today's 4/5.

Never thought the Chicago White Sox would force me to become a tOSU fan...but they're actually managing the feat quite well.

https://www.espn.com/mlb/news/2002/0921/1434838.html Nothing about Ligues drinking at Wrigley. Seems that it was clearly premeditated and telated to problems in his personal life and not merely "the White Sox losing."

See Rusty Kuntz See Ron Washington See Tom Emanski Who was that new age coaching guru we brought in for just one year...and it blew up spectacularly? About 2-3 seasons ago?

So we can't exactly spin that into a win for Getz...go Ashlyn I guess?

The Curse of Keith Law/Mike Sirotka

The Ligues Forgot the sexual discrimination suit fired by Brian Ball. Will Cordero. That other jerk DV pitcher from the Astros.

Fire Harbaugh. Fire Getzie.

And sent Burger off to play in a collegiate league that summer in O'Fallon IL for 45 days....wonder how well he was covered by liability insurance/waivers in the event of a third major injury?? Maybe we should give credit to Getz for sparking his comeback?

No way JR is that generous with a GM salary...feels off by hundreds of thousands.

Jeremy "Jonah Hill" Haber being the consensus with his 190 page profile of Pedro Grifol being the clear #2 choice here doesn't exactly indpire ugh confidence either. Feel like a random Guardians, Braves, Rays, Brewers or Dodgers intern might actually be more accomplished in leaning the in's and out's of a truly competent organization with a proven blueprint for success.

Needs at least thirty more games and that has been a mirage in numerous past seasons where Sept success didn't becomes a springboard to future April competitive at bats.

Nobody involved in the Vanilla Ice pre-concert "fat rolls" bleachers shooting was seriously injured...and the national impact of the news to this point seems to be fairly muted. Jessie Scholtens. Was going to mention Clevinger as a sort of positive...but now the positive's being potentially shifted to "$5.5 million cost savings" for JR and the BoD. Which invariably won't be plugged right back into the 2024 team payroll/budget.

"Here’s the kicker, though. The White Sox did not MEAN to acquire Barry!!!! No, the White Sox meant to acquire young Dodger minor league pitcher Jonathan Berry!!! The White Sox even issues a press release saying it was Berry that they had received, while it was not. White Sox general manager Kenny Williams noted at the time: There was a misunderstanding on reports. We were looking at a report on the pitcher and we didn’t have one on the guy we got. We’ll honor the deal. Luckily for the White Sox, while Barry never made the major leagues for the White Sox, Berry never made the majors, either." The best player in the deal turned out, most likely, to be Majewski, who the White Sox traded to the (then) Montreal Expos in 2004 along with pitcher Jon Rauch in exchange for Carl Everett, who helped the White Sox win the 2005 World Series. https://legendsrevealed.com/sports/2009/05/07/attention-to-small-details/

https://www.mlb.com/news/jesse-scholtens-rebounds-with-solid-start-against-orioles Guess they didn't even bother to trouble Merkin in his current state...to travel all the way to Baltimore with the team.

And then there are the White Sox, who find themselves with a bottom-tier farm system and nothing to show for it. Stock talent. Develop prospects. Thrive in the majors. Without assets to begrudgingly sell, it seems this organization has struggled to do all three. Debating whether or not Getz is "qualified" to run a big league baseball operation is largely irrelevant. We're all capable of succeeding until we don't. The question is whether or not Getz is a byproduct of the flawed system he helped create. Stock. Develop. Thrive. Those are the stages of a baseball operation. So far, Getz is 0-for-2.

Bob Melvin...not so much. Will probably get fired after the season.
