The Mighty Mite

If Getz wants to change the culture of the franchise the first move has to be is firing Grifiol, Katz and the rest of the coaching staff and bring in a new manager who names his own coaches.

I will remain a White Sox and all I can do is hope that Getz exceeds expectations, let’s face it, things can’t get much worse than what we have witnessed this year.

He has to be better than Hahn, hopefully, maybe, I guess, who knows.

Robert is the only guy with an OPS of .800. To have had a good offense we needed not only Luis but Eloy, AV, Moncada and TA to all be .800 plus with Benintendi up near there too. For comparison sake, the Rays have 6 guys who are in the 800s in OPS with Yandi Diaz over .900.

I remember that 4 game sweep in Cleveland and at the time it was huge. The thing is that after getting beat up by the Yankees in the 50s they weren’t much of a factor in 1959. We took care of business with both of them going 15-7 against Cleveland and 13-9 against NY.

I get what you’re saying.

I’m an oldster and IIRC they still give out the Triple Crown Award for the guy who has the highest batting average, most homers and most RBI’s. Those are the stats that I still look at but I also think OPS says a lot too. For the life of me I have no idea how WAR is figured and actually don’t care.

5 insurance runs would look good.

We have a lot of guys that forgot what hustle means.

Keep piling it on because the Sox will need the bullpen soon.

He’s not the only one, the Sox have 319 BB’s with 1179 K’s.

AV with another bomb which would have been a homer everywhere on the planet except Baltimore but it’s a run scoring double, Sox up 6-4.

All right Cease, the boys tied the game up for you, bear down and earn your salary.

Didn’t see this coming, tie game.

This first inning can’t get any uglier, the Sox right now are not a Major League team.

So many guys need to go on this team, let some other team put up with TA’s antics. Cease isn’t much better than Kopech and might be another head case. I can’t think of one reason why Grifol should not be fired, send him back to KC where he belongs.

Has there been anything official about Clevinger being put on waivers, there is nothing on the Sox website, all we heard yesterday are “reports from the Athletic”.

Not a lot to get excited about, even Robert could be better as he has 34 homers but only 69 runs batted in, of course people ahead of him especially Anderson aren’t getting on base which hurts but Vaughn has almost as many RBI with only 16 homers and a lower batting average. Robert has been outstanding in Centerfield and might win a Gold Glove.

Livid? He surely knows he’s broadcasting games except for a few guys, a AAA team. Does Getz have any idea what he’s getting into. Where does he start unless Reinsdork gives him a huge budget to sign premier free agents otherwise we are in for a long arduous rebuild.

I think we finally have a second baseman.

What the hell is going on? Who is going to pitch the rest of the year unless we’re in on a tank job.

OK by me.

It’s hurricane season again down here in the Sunshine State, after being nailed pretty good last year by Ian we are keeping a close eye on this storm. Right now the cone projections have it hitting the Big Bend area north of Crystal River which would be good for us here in Punta Gorda but not good for areas north of Tampa. There is also a possibility that the storm once it reaches the Atlantic could do a loop and hit Florida again on the Atlantic coast, I remember Ivan doing just that in 2004.

Terrible choice but I have to agree.

I agree.
