Sadly, dude isn’t gonna fire himself…

This is where I am too. Some of these kids look like they belong, but is that and or will that be sustainable? And does that translate to winning more games than they lose? Big fat TBD. 2025 was not devoid of positives, but on the whole they still lost 102, which earns an F. Even with some kids showing promise in the 2nd half, they weren’t playing >.500 baseball. They have a long way to go, and they are still being run by an incompetent boob working for one of the worst owners in the sport. Good luck getting over that hurdle.

102 losses isn’t a positive, and I don’t view a .419 winning percentage over a 70ish game sample as a positive either. Extrapolated over 162, we are talking about a 67 win pace. 67-95 isn’t significant progress, and we already know there won’t be major outside additions, and hopes for improvement will have to come internally. Unless a few of these guys turn into superstars, which doesn’t seem likely, we are looking at a 70 win core at best. You might be content with that, but don’t be surprised if others don’t share that view.

No one should view that 60 win mark as progress. Getz’ 2nd full year was a game worse than the team he took over. 2025 on its own gets many GM’s fired. 102 losses is really bad.

220+ losses before the end of his second full season. Bravo Chris, bravo.

Why waste one year when you can waste three!

Manoah was a mess before TJ, but totally worth a shot.

100 is all but guaranteed. Do they even win two more to crack 60 wins?

Neither do most teams who employ highly talented people who get national broadcasting opportunities.

The Red and Green line stations before and after games would like a word with you. You obviously dont take transit to games so you haven't a clue, but plenty do.

Yup. Lost me at baseline competence.

Not without realigning Cortland, and even then it would be an awkard fit for the lot and the location. I imagine the Cubs would not be happy and would lobby alderman to nix the plan. A Fire stadium maybe, but certainly not for the Sox.

Both?

Coun't agree more. He's fine, but nothing special. Far from any sort of gold standard for baseball PBP thats for sure.

They aren't wrong...

The upper deck rarely fills up, adding a new section doesn’t solve anything. Besides, the open air OF concourse is one of the best features IMO.

Seriously, watch the White Sox get slapped with penalties when they finally start to play with the big boys in the amateur international market.

$6M for a kid who can’t sign officially until 2030? I find that hard to believe. Did Jerry croak and we just haven’t heard yet?

The same NIMBY residents across Clark St who were opposed the last time a subway stop was proposed at 15th &Clark? https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/residents-riled-about-proposed-cta-south-loop-station/#

The Rockies looked well on their way for a good chunk of the season, and even they sit at 40 wins with 3 weeks to play. Getzy’s record is going to stand for a while.

Less missing the point, more refusing to see the point. I have no doubt that any ballpark at the 78 will have parking options, but not having their parking wants directly catered to has a select few here completely losing their s%*#, ad infinitum.

I see plenty of Cubs jerseys on the Orange Line heading into downtown, and *gasp* they transfer to the scary subway at Roosevelt.

Or do what the Cubs do and shuttle fans in from remote parking lots.

Shafted would be him performing well, not getting called up when the need arose, and the Sox not letting him seek opportunity elsewhere. But none of that happened. He sucked, and even admits it. Total non-story.

My first apartment in the city was on the 3rd floor of a South Loop loft with the Green/Orange line racks right outside my window. I quickly learned to keep my blinds closed, especially during rush hour 😂.
