Ventura told stuff by front office
QUOTE (fathom @ May 9, 2015 -> 06:32 PM) What has he done to deserve to keep being a GM with this team? This is a big payroll for an awful team. 15th ranked payroll in baseball and which big salary guy do you expect to suck all season? Our team sucks because the entire team is vastly underperforming and we have a couple major holes that weren't filled. The only guy who is definitely a waste of payroll dollars is Danks. I think the problem is that you think this was an "all-in" season when it never was. Hahn's goal was to improve the team on paper and get it closer to a legitimate title contender in 2016. I think pretty much everyone agreed his offseason was a success in that regard. I'm not going to blame him just yet for the entire team sucking at the same time. We were all aware of the holes on the roster entering 2015, which would have impossible to fill in one offseason, so to can him for that would be incredibly short-sighted.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 9, 2015 -> 05:39 PM) Dream scenario is that Hahn/KW/Ventura/Cooper all get canned after this year. Twice now in the last 5 years where the team went "all in" and completely laid an egg. You really want to fire Hahn already?

5/9 Reds @ White Sox Doubleheader
IMO, the team needs to take a chance on a different catcher. I don't care if that's Kottaras or even Kevan Smith, Flowers has proven he is not starter material.

5/9 Reds @ White Sox Doubleheader
Alright, let's get two runs this inning and keep this game alive.

5/9 Reds @ White Sox Doubleheader
QUOTE (TitoMB @ May 9, 2015 -> 04:10 PM) Reds guys said he was tossed. Thanks, that's what it looked to me, but kind of a dick ejection by the umpire.

5/9 Reds @ White Sox Doubleheader
Did Steverson get ejected or did he simply head into the clubhouse for some reason?
-
5/9 Reds @ White Sox Doubleheader
We really need to do something about the catcher position. Flowers is just a complete black-hole offensively.

Ventura told stuff by front office
QUOTE (LDF @ May 9, 2015 -> 03:04 PM) but then again, i wonder what their internal goal is, pure profit or championship rings?? You keep pushing this money angle and quite frankly it's a ridiculous accusation. The organziation's goal is to win championships, plain and simple. However, they have to operate within a budget like most other teams. You seem unable to differentiate the idea of spending within your means with simply not caring.

Beck Called Up (?)
QUOTE (Jerksticks @ May 9, 2015 -> 01:19 AM) Haha. So is Beck just gonna shine the bench with his ass for a day basically? Noesi & Rodon are starting today, having a guy who could go 3 or 4 innings could be incredibly useful.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 9, 2015 -> 12:55 AM) Dear lord this is spinning out of control. Just make the move already, stop trying to save him from himself. The problem is Robin is a genuinely-likable guy. They'll have a longer leash with him than someone that is an egotistical jerk like say Ozzie. Also, Reinsdorf's love for Robin isn't going to make firing him any easier.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ May 9, 2015 -> 01:05 AM) f*** you Levine. Way to go buddy. You get the gold star for CHOOSING to report this, choosing to add strain to an already stressful start to the season. This does nothing positive for the 2015 White Sox. Seriously, the real question is who told him this? Seems like it would be a pretty short list privy to this conversation. Why would you tell a media loser like Levine this information if your goal is a 2015 White Sox championship? This is akin to treason. No offense, but we need MORE Chicago reporters to come out with stories like these. I'm not a Levine fan, but I'm glad he reported this.

Sox Dead Last in Runs Scored
QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 7, 2015 -> 08:30 PM) Hell yeah, just to have a lefty bat from the C position. Soto and T-Flo stand no chance vs. RHP. I'm honestly thinking there is nothing to lose at this point. Not like Soto has done anything to retain his backup job.

Kottaras off the disabled list in AAA. Is he worth a look?

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 6, 2015 -> 08:57 PM) Cheers! I am drinking Gringolandia Wheat right now. I've never had but I would recommend. Unfortunately all we got in the kitchen is Summer Shandy, which is not my ideal choice for a Sox game. I'll definitely make note of this Gringolandia Wheat.
