Maybe another team in a rebuild or a team getting to the point of competing- Royals, Pirates, Mariners, etc- only to get fired right before the big years. He's a god awful manager

Yeah, hilarious. The implication by you and others is that Reinsdorf spent just enough money to finish in second, so when he woke up yesterday and saw they were in 1st, he was mad.. like "hey Ricky, it's Jerry. Lose tonight. Cleveland's winning. Gotta stay true to my word." Do you know how stupid that sounds? Jerry allegedly wanting to finish second has nothing to do with the fact that they are now in 2nd. They pitched a bozo yesterday and made a ton of errors. It happens The Sox were in 1st a day ago. I can assure you that Parkman was just waiting to get back in 2nd so he can break out that quote again. Which is exactly my point. The quote is being blown way out of proportion. They spent like $300M in total contracts this offseason. Chill

You wanted them to extend Robert and Moncada. You loved the Keuchel, EE and Grandal signings, or at least the symbolism that they were going for it and were willing to spend. But now? Nope, they might want to not win.

Yeah the front office of the White Sox doesn't want to win. That's it. It's definitely something to ponder and use mental energy on

You're bringing up a quote about Reinsdorf in a thread about Renteria's replacement because "who else is out there?" Yeah that makes sense What exactly is your point? The Sox were just in first place and everyone was thrilled. Now they're a game out and it's "hmm maybe Reinsdorf WANTS them to be in second because of what a disgraced executive from the Marlins said!" Yeah, perhaps Reinsdorf paid off the players to lose yesterday because that way they would be in second. It just might be the case! Fuck outta here

Samson says Reinsdorf said always finish in second Jesus fucking christ knock it off with these conspiracy theories. The guy forked over like 150M in new players this offseason + about 140M in extensions this past offseason. Why is this being brought up right now in THIS thread? Because Renteria is a "cheap" manager? Get the fuck out of here. Because at the present moment the team is 7 games above .500 and a W out of first place? You really enjoy getting the board fired up, huh @Jack Parkman? There are a select group of trolls on this board and you're certainly one of them. You're a disgrace

I would probably be less sick of watching him hit if he was hitting 7th or something. The walk off vs KC was cool, but his hitting this year has been atrocious.

What did he say

Oh man if only Rodon had panned out. Then they'd be 7 games up!!

Yeah him not being outstanding has been a huge loss seeing as if how they're in 1st place in their first year where they expected to win

^^ How has this guy not been banned? Nowhere to be found when he's hitting dingers and top 10 in baseball in EV, but when he doesn't beat out a booted grounder, here he is

You know who else was a high end pick? Rodon. You probably said the same shit about him that he NEEDS to be outstanding. Explain why Madrigal NEEDS to be outstanding aside from your own personal mental state. What if he hits .310 annually? Is that good enough?

"everything"

Even if you thought Young was a .250-.260/25 HR/.310 OBP guy, that isn't even in the same stratosphere of where Eloy will be. Since then he's hit the piss out of the ball and even cussed at me because you downplayed his hit tool after 160 games.

But Parkman and Harold "are on the same page with scouting" so HA Yeah man, if he pitches again I'll go spray weeds or something. He blows

They just came from behind and won 2 days ago. Last night they lost 3-2. Today they're getting crushed because their pitcher had another awful outing. Shut up with this nonsense

This is his, what, 5th year in the majors? 4th maybe? This is who he is

Not his best game defensively, that's for sure

Babe Cave

I think he's the ball hard twice this season

They had about 9 of those as a team a few weeks ago against Darvish

I feel like if Robert never swings again today, he'd finish 0-1 with 3 walks

Oh good. Edwin is up!

What is exactly the point of review if the call will be wrong still? I almost wonder if they weren't getting a feed so they just said "fuck it, call stands"

I wonder if Baldelli will review that play. In real time it seemed like Anderson may have been off of the base because of that shit throw
