Sox had 3 hits last night, and they all came from the top 3 in the order. Let's hope they can match that tonight.

All those first inning whiffs must be those "new systems" that Lynn mentioned on AJ's podcast. Gotta give em 60 games to figure out how to play baseball.

Maybe Lynn needs to just enjoy the ride?

Technically he's correct. It's not a problem if there is none.

After looking over the box score last night, I was thinking to myself that sometimes all a dude needs is a good 4-4 night to get that season stat line straightened out. Unfortunately, there's almost no evidence to indicate that any of the guys who need a 4-4 night are going to do so. Weak contact and whiff rates off the charts. Its not looking good.

Rick Hahn the kind of guy to print out mapquest directions before the family vacation roadtrip.

Its entirely possible the White Sox could be 7-18 at the start of the next home stand. If that's the case, I hope the team plays to an empty GRate.

I am happily married, but I have divorced friends who are amical with their exes (mostly for the sake of their children). Social events, parties, school functions, etc - watch them interact nicely towards each other. This is kinda how I feel about the current iteration of the Chicago White Sox. I've moved on to my other favorite "ball club" and hope the Sox turn out alright.

Dodgers did this with Miguel Vargas during Spring Training. He was hurt, and instead of holding him out of games, told him to stare at every pitch. He's hitting 220 this season but has some insane OBP like 400.

Jason Adam? What'd he do?

I probably shouldn't have laughed as hard as I did at this reply... but I did. Its ok to laugh at ourselves, right??

Good to see Grifol saving Cease for October.

Imagine having a terrible team that grossly missed expectations, and doing almost nothing to fix the glaring holes in the roster.

I wonder if Hahn warned Grifol that he might have to manage through a rebuild?

Yikes. Nothing else more to say. Just... yikes.

Would TLR have ridden Gio out there for 197 pitches?

On the subject of the thread title... a rookie manager 2 weeks into the season. Ain't his fault the roster has holes and the bullpen sucks. This team isn't good, and its not something a rookie manager can overcome with savvy game strategy.

I imagine the wheels are in motion to cancel Soxfest this offseason.

I love when RickyGM memes I made get reused.

can we turn this into a "Rick Hahn the kinda guy to" thread?? Rick Hahn the kinda guy to ask ChatGPT how to fix his team.

I bet a friend of mine the Sox would lose as many games as the Dodgers would win. Looks like they're both gonna suck.
