Castillo trade conflicts with this theory.

@tray This is the guy you want owning this franchise???

You realize two seasons ago Reinsdorf led this team to the worst record in modern baseball history, right? The fact that you think any owner could do worse is fucking insane. No owner in the history of baseball was able to put together a worse team than Jerry Reinsdorf...

The White Sox are the girl that just keeps cheating on you. You think she finally stopped doing it after a year or so, and she rips your heart out again. Not sure how anyone can blame the fans here. This organization sucks.

Honestly, this entire second half of garbage baseball is really on Venable, Getz, the coaching staff, and front office. They killed their good pitchers because their starters only throw 60-70 fucking pitches. The pitchers they brought in were fucking useless, awful, and/or hurt. Their coaching staff has shown no ability to help hitters adjust or gameplan. Every hitter has regressed. The organization just sucks. That Venable comment about Mune says it all. "Moving him won't fix his swing." Well what the f*** are any of you coaches here for if it's not helping your hitters fix their swing???

Yep. This team is cooked. That loss last night was soul crushing and killed any confidence they may have had to finish the season strong. That's what happens when your manager gives the game away.

They're still a s%*# team. They are just lucky the AL central is absolutely pathetic. They are going to end up missing the playoffs after being in 1st place for months because their GM and coaching staff are fucking clueless and have no answers. Their GM actually made a 1st place team WORSE at the deadline. When the chips were down and things got serious, the entire team showed why this franchise is a joke, and will remain so until Reinsdorf is finally fucking dead and gone. I am not sure how anyone can have hope for this organization after what we saw withthe last rebuild. Instead of giving us hope for a few seasons, these guys could only last around 100 games...

Didn't even bother turning this game on after last night. Detroit is going to sweep these bums. Season was all smoke and mirrors. Another poorly managed, poorly coached team. Awful trade deadline made the team worse. Useless players on the roster, getting playing time. Terrible manager always pushing the wrong buttons. Pitchers shitting the bed. Hitters with no approach and zero ability to adapt. No plate discipline. No gameplan. Aside from a hot streak and career years from a few players, how is this team any different from the last few seasons?

Starting one of your worst pitchers as an opener cost the game first. This just put a nail in the coffin.

He shouldn't have been in the game at that point.

So you're saying there's a chance?

Jesus Christ. This is not a serious organization. Well, Pham. You're in. Prove yourself right.

Have to average 11.5 mph over that time to get to that ball. Should be a fucking gimme... I am shocked it is only 85%.

I'm just a snarky asshole. Sorry if you can't deal with it. Everything I said is right though, so whatever.

How is it possible to have every take you make on this forum be the wrong one? It's uncanny. His route to that ball was atrocious. He read it completely wrong. He started coming in on it and then had to turn and run back... He misplayed it badly. He also never should have been out there. The pinch hitting of Montgomery for Doyle was absolutely idiotic. Montgomery has been terrible at the plate, Doyle has had a good game, and you have a lead. You're subbing out your best defensive outfielder.... They should have subbed Montgomery for Antonacci in the 9th, put Doyle in Center, Peters in LF, and Montgomery in RF. But our manager is a moron. Everyone questioned Montgomery coming up to PH for Doyle as soon as it happened, and what do you know?

I would be shocked if it isn't 95% or higher.

It needs to be a ball in the dirt in all honesty.

They were dead. I can see them getting absolutely destroyed tomorrow. How they play tomorrow will say a lot about their character.

Right. If they get a hit the game is over anyway. He has no fucking arm. Play for the out. But he never should have been out there. You took your best defensive OF out of the game to have a terrible hitter PH for him and created that problem yourself.

Any normal outfielder makes that play. But when you have a 2B out there, that's what happens. You didn't need a defensive sub to make that out, you just needed ...an actual outfielder. Venable is a fucking idiot.

Pulling Doyle late in the game is fucking stupidity, too. His entire purpose here is defense. Instead, you have Sam in LF and he just sucks. Just inexcusable. This game was ultimately lost with the predictably idiotic decision to go with Murphy to open. They can fire Venable at any time.

Just absolutely fucking incompetent game management. They did everything wrong. When you do that, you deserve to lose.

This loss is entirely on Venable.

Venable's decisions in this game are mind boggling.

It's like Kolson just predetermines in his mind whether he is swinging or not on every pitch, regardless of what he sees. It's insane how bad these guys are right now.
