A veteran player publicly approaches management to ask to leave early, when the Sox still have a game to play, and he's the only backup... They tell him no, and he complains. In the open clubhouse. In front of teammates. He SHOULD be called out on it. It's ridiculous, and it shows how fucking rotten this organization is. The fact that he slapped TA and there were NO REPURCUSSIONS shows how fucked up the culture here is.

Rich Hahn is such a fucking clown. This guy is so over his head trying to run this team. He sounds like a guy running a little league baseball team. Just clueless. Absolutely clueless.

I get it. We all want to think things aren't as bad as they are, but they really are this bad. Likely much worse than we believe, actually. Because it's very rare for dirty laundry to be aired in the MLB. When it is, it's usually just a small piece of the puzzle.

Lol. The White Sox apparently have a player on the roster that has sleep issues, and their training staff encouraged him to sleep in the clubhouse? This s%*# is just insane. Like, if you have a professional athlete with that issue, address the fucking issue so he can sleep at night. Because he's certainly not operating at 100% if his issues are THAT bad.

Why would he be allowed to leave? The Sox had a game to play, and he was the second catcher... The all-star break starts when it starts for everyone. He made a comment in the interview that "the only thing I'm thinking about a day before the break is my lake house and spending time with my family, since I haven't spent enough time with them". What???

The truth is in the middle. Managerial and coaching styles must absolutely adapt to the times. You need structure, organization, accountability, rules, and consequences, for not following them. But you also need to allow the players freedom to be themselves and have fun. It's a balance. A balance the White Sox have absolutely no idea how to find. Maybe if they weren't trying to operate with 20-25% of the front office staff other organizations were, they wouldn't be such a clusterfuck.....?

What the hell is Grandal even talking about?

Ooooof.

Lol. Imagine how bad the culture must be for a veteran player to even THINK of asking to leave early for the break, when they still have a game to play. I mean....just mind blowing. Also, shut up Yaz. We aren't idiots.

Lmao. An absolutely rotten, busted organization. Through and through. What can Hahn and Grifol POSSIBLY have to say? lol Grandal wanting to leave for the break early because he wasn't playing in the game, says EVERYTHING about the White Sox culture. There's no fucking team here. It's just a bunch of guys showing up for work. He wasn't playing, so figured he had no reason to be at the game... I mean, what the f***? Is this serious? TA's response was perfect, actually.

He's a baseball player. Of course his "form" was terrible. Of course, nobody seems to be mentioning that Ramirez was basically slap fighting and flailing at him, and just got lucky.

This is s%*# I wouldn't tolerate from the fucking high school kids I coach. Oh, you're too cool to stretch? Then enjoy the fucking bench for the first period. This org truly is a joke.

God forbid a guy playing for a dogshit organization, having a bad season, where he obviously played hurt for a good portion of it, shows some fire, frustration, and balls. When some punk ass on a divisional rival gets in his face over a routine play... What? Of all the things to complain about recently, I can't believe this is actually one of them. In hockey, it isn't about winning or losing the fight. It's about stepping up. Ramirez is a fucking punk who has been showing the Sox up and strutting around for a couple seasons now. TA finally had enough and said f*** you. He should be getting praised, not ridiculed or laughed at.

Bullshit. He was absolutely knocked out. Watch his arms when he gets hit. And watch his eyes and his balance when he gets up. 100% a concussion. I've seen enough of them in my 30+ years of hockey to know.

Never been in a fight and took one on the chin, huh? Never seen a boxing match? Never watched a hockey game between 1980 and 2010??? First concussion you've ever seen? He was fucking out of it, man. 100% concussed. So many of you showing your fucking ass in this thread. Good on TA for showing some fire. He was 100% in the right here. Also, one of the luckiest flails I've ever seen a guy throw. Ramirez was throwing hands like a b****. TA was going to work him.

New White Sox Stadium? Because a POS billionaire spent $17M? Lmao

This org is completely irredeemable. In every aspect. There's not a single reason to be a fan of this team. Not a single player to root for. There is absolutely nothing they do, that isn't bottom 5 in the MLB. Training and conditioning? Lmao. Medical staff? Lmao. Analytics? Rofl. Minor league system? ROFLGFY. The Cubs have FOUR TIMES the staff the White Sox have. Worst owner in sports, fucking hands down, no question. [Removed], and spare all of us, that you've been DUPING for four decades. f*** you. f*** you. f*** YOU.

So, a normal Monday for an actual athlete? I fucking hate these players.

Lol again.

Two cookies missed in two straight at bats. Team sucks.

Why do I have to keep seeing Jesus ads during a baseball game?

Those HR for/against numbers at GRF are absolutely fucking pathetic.

Joe Kelly is a fucking loser. Another terrible acquisition.

Lol.....

Who is this team? If only they could play to their potential consistently.
