Too many to list, thb, but Pollock and Yaz take the cake for me on the offensive side. Just brutal seasons.

I'll happily take a sham search if it leads to a whole new coaching staff. Of course, I'd prefer a legitimate process, but I actually think Pierzynski would be an awesome fit for this club at this point. AJ would light these guys up for how they play. Sox need someone to change the culture as much or more than they need a seasoned baseball tactician (though I certainly think AJ would be fine there as well). I'd prefer a totally fresh non-white sox perspective, but its not like AJ has been in the org the past decade.

Pinch hitting Leury for Seby was a truly awful decision. There isn't a single scenario besides perhaps a sac bunt I'd prefer Leury at the dish. I can only imagine Hahn blowing up when that happened. As for Robert, he clearly isn't healthy enough to hit right now, so he wasn't an option for Seby. I didn't mind using Robert in that spot in PR for Eloy. If the Sox let Engel hit instead of Eloy, they definitely don't pitch around him like they did Eloy. Now we can debate why Luis is on the active roster if he cannot hit, but that's another discussion.

Tony does not bat. But he’s absolutely a major problem. I would venture a guess that a significant reason why this team plays with non energy is very much TLR related.

Yes

There really isn’t much of a path to sneak into the playoffs at this point. Effectively 6 GB with 34 to play. Probably have to go 24-10 or better to have a chance. There’s just no way unless Cleveland plays like .333 baseball rest of season.

Yup. That game Thursday night was the last straw of my optimism. Only watched 1 game this weekend. Not sure I’ve missed 2/3 games in a long while. I’ll still tune in most nights cuz Sox baseball is just a part of me, but 2022 is dead. What a fuckin shame of a season.

You’re the one that suggested the Sox would need to trade Cease to dump 1 year at $12M on AJ Pollock…

They don’t actually have to listen to him tho. Give him a desk in the basement under the air conditioner until he quits.

+1000000 on those 2 in particular

He’s def going to be on the roster. You just gotta hope he can catch 70 or so games and take his walks and run into some homers.

Cease is probably one of the more valuable pitchers in the game. This is an awful take.

Anderson SS, Moncada 3B, Robert CF, Eloy DH, Vaughn 1B, Nimmo RF, Pollock LF, Grandal C, insert 2B that bats left handed and plays defense BN: Seby, Engel, Leury, Sheets Colas takes over as starter in OF come May. Pollock to bench/injury replacement for Eloy. Pollock and Leury are gonna be on this roster. Insert Conforto for Nimmo if you want, he’ll be cheaper so prob more likely, but Nimmo absolutely better fit.

Fire everyone. Literally no one besides perhaps Katz that is involved with this coaching staff, front office and training staff deserves to retain their job.

Such a pathetic effort night after night

Im sure Perez has some nerves, but damn…thought he was supposed to be a good catcher.

The wording of the Lynn bereavement list was a bit odd, I thought.

I get that. But you’re giving Yoan away for nothing. You’re also committing to make 2 of the biggest problems is team has even worse. I get why some people hate Yoan; he’s frustrating as hell. But you just gotta hope he snaps out of it. Moving him at rock bottom just doesn’t make sense.

Continue to not understand this take at all. Yoan was absolutely awful the season; He has no value. Giving away one of the few guys on this team that actually plays defense and bats from the left side is hard for me to get behind. He’s one guy you just have to hope a new training and coaching staff is able to solve next season

Scorched earth this shit and put AV at 3B the next week. Why not

Is Burger hurt? Don’t see him listed on Charlottes available roster last night.

I dispise Tony, but Tony doesn’t bat and play defense and run the bases. Tony has cost the Sox several games at least, but ultimately this team just has no killer instinct, sucks at situational hitting and is awful defensively. that said, I absolutely fire Tony as deep into the sun as possible.

I have little doubt the Sox will misplay the situation. But if the plan is for Colas to be on the Opening Day 2023 roster, he should be in Chicago already. It’s just really not that complicated. In an ideal world, we have a full new set of folks making these decisions in 2023, but White Sox.

Because the Sox will put him on the OD roster?

Maybe play with a little life tonight?
