It’s such a bad environment for pitchers.

Of course I hate that they didn’t go outside the org or conduct a real search but I hate that Getz and Grifol get to keep their jobs or be promoted. They’re survivalist and ass kissers. I know AJ said on his show that whenever he was doing a Sox game he would see Getz sitting with Jerry, talking into his ear. And whenever Grifol is asked a question, he speaks directly to Jerry with his answers, saying things that would appeal to him. They’re scum.

One day we will all die and be ridden of our allegiance to this team.

I’d be shocked if it’s Getz or someone from the inside, it would’ve been announced already and more of the big reporters would’ve reported something by now on it happening. It sounds like JR knew he was going to fire KW and Hahn for a little while and kept that radio silent. The silent things are, the more it looks like he’s going outside the org. Plus Moore had said that the Sox haven’t reached out to him.

Pedro when he’s asked about the shooting: “That’s why I like this fan base and it’s a privilege to play in front of them. They have that fight in them. They’re ready to kill at any moment. And that’s what south side baseball is. And me, and Tony, and Getzy are going to bring that to the diamond”

Worked for the Orioles? Are we sure about that yet?

I would love it if the team hired a Baseball President and a GM to work under that person. I would be very down for James Click as President and someone like Preston Mattingly as GM.

I think there’s a good chance that Montgromery is up by June/after whenever the team gets an extra year or control.

Who knew Chris Getz was such a snake?

I didn’t know Moore Royal’s teams were the example of sustained success we want the Sox to be

What has Getz accomplished? What has Dayton Moore accomplished? And Tony La Russa should be nowhere near the organization. This is pitiful. An out of touch drunk, someone who’s achieved nothing but went out of his way to hire two abusers, and a man who went out his way to defend a pedophile and turned his org into an alt right cesspool. JR is somehow putting the team in a worse position.

I’m glad the team has cut ties with them but I hope Kenny Williams does stay involved with baseball. If MLB wants to make more of an effort trying to increase black engagement with the sport, Kenny Williams should lead that.

Why the negativity?

If Gonzalez is too slow for SS, then he’s probably too slow for 2B. I did forget about Ramos.

Yeah, they totally need to hired a President of Baseball Ops and let that person hire their own GM and manager

The Sox have the weakest SOS the rest of the way iirc

If this is genuine… I applaud that JR is doing something to fix the problem but why is he leading this process? It would be better if he had hired an independent party to conduct this process. People will be afraid to be candid when they’re talking JR because he’s the owner. If JR was smart, he would formed an independent committee (like the Bears did) to review the entire org and the performance of the FO.

This sounds bleak till you remember that the season ends in two weeks and he’s only missing two starts. I saw someone ask if the Sox would consider sending him to the AFL to make up innings? I think that’s really aggressive, we have to remember that there’s instructs after the season and hopefully we can take part in those. With what’s been reported, I don’t think this injury will impact his innings target for next season.

I personally identify with Wilt Chamberlin

I wonder if he has covid. We’re in a surge.

Gregory Santon single-handedly showing everyone why it’s dumb to pay big money for relievers.

I’m more concerned to see how he looks after instructs and on the backfields in the spring. Hopefully he’ll get comfortable with this new swing over the winter. Regarding the Rankings, I’d go Colson/Schultz/Quero/Ramos/Eder/Gonzalez. I think there’s an argument to have Mena above Gonzalez. How has he looked in the field overall? I think his long term home will be at 3B.

You’re absolutely right. The Sox PD at the ML level has failed him but this year he had 97 PA’s, he struck out 36 times and walked only twice. In 2022, he had 109 PA’s, he struck out 39 and walked twice. OPS+ of 72 and 56. He’s not good. Romy is the kind of player that the Sox need to rid themselves of in that he can’t get on base and he has zero approach at the plate. There’s better end of bench guys out there. I mean Zach Remillard is much, much better than Romy and is the perfect end of bench guy.

A .500 record is very unlikely in my opinion. What quality free agents would sign here? Guys talk and the word around the league is that the Sox are a compete dumpster fire with a bad clubhouse culture, an idiot for a manager and a FO who doesn’t communicate at all. They need to clean house, fire the coaching staff (I’d keep Katz) and use next year as a rebuilding season.

None of those have under gone a significant swing change like Gonzalez has. If you’re looking for something to be excited about regarding Gonzalez, he has 8 k’s to 7 bb’s. He’s under going a massive swing chance and he’s not striking out, that’s impressive.
