Pitching Coach Candidates
What do you all think? Two that immediately come to mind are as follows: 1. Matt Zaleski - Charlotte Knights pitching coach. Embraces the analytics, gets great reviews within the organization, knows all our guys. He seems like an easy and solid choice for the position 2. Ethan Katz - Giolito's highschool pitching coach. He is credited with helping turn Giolito around and into a top pitcher in the league. Giolito went from literally the worst starting pitcher, to one of the best. He has to get a look. This is my pick, personally. Any candidates you have in mind?

Tony La Russa named Manager
Don't forget this one, folks. I like CWS, but he's going in my sig if he hire Hinch. This was in response to me suggesting we fire Ricky and hire Hinch.

Tony La Russa named Manager
Lots of people won't be happy with AJ Hinch, so it lines up with that narrative. I'm hoping we get Hinch.

https://deadspin.com/breaking-adam-schefter-is-a-vacuous-turd-who-demonstra-1845361199 It's astonishing that Julie DiCaro has a job anymore. Her latest deadspin piece was more pathetic than usual. What an incompetent, miserable piece of crap she is. It's apparent that deadspin is simply employing people for shock value now. Sorry for even sharing this.

ALCS- Rays vs Astros
I don't care who it is. Shitty umpiring needs to go.

ALCS- Rays vs Astros
Rays up 5-2, Bottom 9th with 1 out. 2 men on with Altuve up to bat, 2-2 count. Altuve checks his swing and clearly doesn't go, would be easily verified by the 1st base umpire. The home plate umpire (Jeff Nelson) doesn't even ask the first base umpire, he just calls it a strike. I get missing strikes and balls, but how the hell do you not ask the 1st base umpire for help on a close check swing call? Just irresponsible. I'm sick of these umpires.

Cooper also out
To the analytic crowd, he was a complete dope. Even to the old school, use-your-gut guys, he must have been a dope. Both of Rodon's relief appearances were universally bashed. The old schooler's heads much have exploded at his bullpen use in Game 3.

Cooper also out
It never happened for whatever reason. I feel Coop may have bailed.

Hire AJ Hinch to replace Ricky?
Well well. There were other posts that deserved a quote, but these two were good. Especially Chicago White Sox. You're about to get signatured! I don't want to hear any more b****ing about my track record. Once again I'm ahead of the curve on a likely Sox move. This isn't the first time - won't be the last.

AJ Hinch: does it matter to you that he cheated?
Who else fits his description? Ned Yost and Bruce Bochy? Obviously not Yost, and I doubt it with Bochy. He was clearly alluding to Hinch and Cora.

What about Dallas? He was a leader on the team and complicit with it. Did you not want him on the White Sox?

AJ Hinch: does it matter to you that he cheated?
Definitely. Most still classify Belichick as the GOAT. None of those Patriots fans give a damn about the cheating. Nobody has ignorea Brady's titles from certain years. Winning cures all. If Hinch signs and wins a championship here, all the self righteous folk will be watching and celebrating just as much as the others.

You don't remember the hoards of Patriots fans demanding that Robert Kraft vacate the titles won under notorious cheater Bill Belichick?

Cooper also out
Coop will be on the Score tomorrow at 8 AM! This will be a must listen.

Sox Press Conference - 11am 10/12 - RR out as Sox manager
He needs to hold back with Grandal. The constant bashing of him is unnecessary.

Rick Hahn, if you read this board: please don't hire a cheater.

And with this post, the McCann fan club grows larger!- AJ Hinch: does it matter to you that he cheated?
There would be no twisting for me. I would still support the guy unequivocally. I wouldn't blame a guy for roiding and potentially earning millions or tens of millions more because of it.- Rick Hahn, if you read this board: please don't hire a cheater.
Remember when the Sox got Brett Myers? Yeah, that dude beat his wife in public. I think they'll be fine giving a guy who cheated a 2nd chance.- Sox Press Conference - 11am 10/12 - RR out as Sox manager
What do you expect? Keuchel is just a regular season pitcher.- Sox Press Conference - 11am 10/12 - RR out as Sox manager
Hahn mentioned that they called TA before making these moves because he is the leader of this team. Does this finally dispell the notion that Abreu is the leader of the team? Timmy is the leader. Period. - AJ Hinch: does it matter to you that he cheated?
