This. No possible way to spin it any other way, this hire is a complete joke. The only thing I can even kinda draw from it is Jerry doesn’t want to screw around and is gonna sign some free agents because he knows LaRussa is on a short window but who the hell knows anymore

This is amaze balls....

Hahns quote was Tony was the choice because it is believed that tony Is the best man to help us win championships....Lol he can’t distance himself further from this hiring

Lol

Ugh wtf I didn’t see any of the presser, was slammed at work today and am just soaking this hire in.....such horseshit hire. Reinsdorf jacked this whole thing up

There is sure a helluva lot of smoke for it not to be true

Everyone is in the same damn boat when it comes to the pandemic. Overall the Sox have saved the past few years and profited off shit ass product on the field no one wants to hear they are affected due to Covid, absolutely everyone is.

Fathom, it’s the worst hiring in a very long time. There is no other way to put it. Disgustingly bad and the Sox deserve every ounce of wrath that comes their way

It’s just a pathetic move by an owner that’s over the hill. The game has passed both of them up and this team more than likely kicked any winning down the road another couple years

What’s a rapsodo - Dave Duncan....he’s going to be Don Cooper 2.0 (that is if you be a don cooper before don cooper

Post of the year right here

Can Duncan even get out to the mound in enough time to not make the games last 5 hours. No matter how the team spins this, I just cannot get behind a hiring like this.

I thought so as well however Ricky proved down the stretch this not to be the case. If TLR is the hire here I think firing Ricky was a mistake and I never thought I would say that in my life

This. And the Chicago beat writers need to have the balls to ask these questions on why the sudden change or how TLR fits the description he gave just a couple weeks ago.

The fact that analytics have run the game and the Whitesox are playing catch-up in that category as it is....we are moving backwards in time once again....he is in the camp with Ken Harrelson of the TWTW club. The fact that Tony hasn’t managed since 2011, rules have changed, the game has changed. Sitting in as an advisor is one thing being actively engaged in team operations is entirely another. This hiring is the exact opposite of what we were told was going to happen. Maybe im the only one who sees this but I think twitter reaction and others on here would agree with me.

I hope if he is hired this front office is booed the hell out of town every single day. This hiring is such a spit in the face to Sox fans.

Being cheap is one thing but hiring a manager who last managed the Whitesox before I was born is ridiculous. Reinsdorf is so damn clueless and TLR will screw this rebuild up. EVERYTHING was lined up perfectly not to fuck up this hire and somehow they are going to do that......

Huh?

If he is signed why is this more of a punch in the gut than losing out on Machado. This franchise really knows how to fuck things up

This LaRussa bullshit is exactly why they will not win shit until Jerry Reinsdorf sells or is dead.

They are on the phone w Trevor Bauer as we speak that’s why ??

I’m fine with a springer or Pederson addition and not blowing the load on him. I do worry about an Abreu regression to the norm but hopefully Moncada comes back to normal. When it’s all said and done this team needs to really hit on RF and DH this offseason in whatever way they decide to go. They have had the worst luck with both of those positions producing anything as of late.

Most MLB players could give 2 shits about batting average. Just the honest truth in this game today. It’s all power, let’s be honest no one is getting paid for just a high batting average

In reality when payroll is below league average your budget should be able to include a couple starters and a RF......covid or no covid, every single team dealt with the same thing. Now is not the time to cry poor.

I would be highly disappointed if they brought in another project. There is no time for that at this point, your contention window is open now.
