Chicago White Sox

if he misses tonight’s game, I think that pretty much confirms he is out as a manager. Knowing our luck, he probably replaces KW as our EVP of Baseball Operations though.

Just one of the worst off-seasons ever. It’s almost impressively bad when you consider we’re in the middle of our contention window and Rick didn’t address any of our major needs with impact talent.

What’s payroll commitment to the bullpen next year?

I don’t see the point of letting Jose go when he’s our best player and will likely take a hometown discount. I also think it’s very clear that Eloy needs to be kept and used as DH primarily. If Sheets can’t return something via trade, then he can be a depth / insurance option, which is nice to have given Eloy’s health record.

Definitely seems that way.

Zero chance he’s non-tendered.

This team looks like they really it tonight

I think this is very clearly the end of Tony as Sox manager. To your point, he was fine at his press conference just hours before the game. Did he suddenly fall ill and was able to immediately see a doctor who told him to sit out tonight’s game? Seems far-fetched to me. Did he receive a medical diagnosis from a legit physical or medical test that took place prior to his press conference that requires him not to endure White Sox baseball? Possible, but still seems unlikely. This wreaks of a planned leave to save face from being fired, but even if it’s truly health related I can’t see him continuing managing at his age.

Yeah, I would prefer Katz stick around under the next manager.

That article is probably the most obvious proof that these clowns have no idea what they are doing. We all knew the ball wasn’t juiced anymore and that adjustments were needed ASAP. Unfortunately, Hahn & Frank stayed the course and punted away the season. Both guys should be banned from baseball for this gross negligence.

And a competent training staff too.

100% agree. And the worst part is they’ve done absolutely nothing to try and fix anything. Watching them hit a bunch of singles every night and still keep Frank as hitting coach makes my blood boil. Nearly everything about this product is boring and unlikable.

Yeah, not going to choose another team. This isn’t me jumping ship forever. But this season is beyond fucking cooked and I won’t be wasting my limited free time supporting this shit show. It is legit painful to watch these guys right now.

They’re not even trying anymore. Honestly, I hope they lose 1-0 today. I’ve tried my best to maintain optimism, but falling below .500 against the DBacks was the nail in the coffin for me. Fuck this organization and everyone who’s a part of it.

Bump

What a lineup tonight!

Can someone get Yoan a god damn Yoga coach

100% agree. I really hope we see the media do their job and create some level of accountability for this shit show. Usually Fegan is the only guy willing to ask the tough questions, but seeing a Sun Times columnist literally say “fire everyone” is a big step forward.

But realistically, this should be the end of the road for this group. This season is the biggest single failure in my 38 years as a White Sox fan. Everyone needs to go from KW on down and the roster also needs a major shakeup. Go give Mike Chernoff a President of Baseball Ops title and let him burn this shit to the seems.

You know things have gone really bad when the Chicago media is saying “fire everyone”… https://chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/2022/8/26/23323627/trying-and-failing-to-imagine-jerry-reinsdorf-holding-white-sox-employees-accountable-tony-la-russa

Bump…can’t let this one slip past page 1

Honestly, my guess is our 5 man analytics department will figure out the ball isn’t juiced anymore and this offensive approach simply doesn’t work. They’ll just be 12 months too late and it will have cost us a season.

Unfortunately this is likely true

I have never seen the actual video, but fire this clown right now. And then blow up the rest of this shit-show of an organization.

When is the last time we hit a HR?
