I agree. The Sox are not going anywhere. What we don't know is when they will be competitive again.

I could care less about the Cubs. The Sox have no direction. This rebuild is going nowhere. During the two plus years, the Sox are around 140 games under .500. That is not rebuilding. That is tanking and calling it a rebuild. What are they going to do next off season? Sign a bunch of over-the-hill veterans and cut them before spring training ends? I've never seen this team this bad, and I've been around for a time. I don't care if they got swept by the Cubs. They can get swept by anyone. And get swept often.

If the Sox were going to have any kind of decent season this year, they needed offense from Robert and Vaughn. Neither should be on the club anymore. Don't know much about Elko, but it is time to give him a chance. How can he be that much worse? Don't know what has happened to Robert. Put him in line with Elo and Moncada.

Yes, we have seen enough of Vaughn. Things like this make me a non-believer in this so-called rebuild.

In past years, I would've been pissed by a Cub ass-beating like this. At this point, what difference does it make? The Sox have gone through plenty of ass-beatings like this. 20 runs in two days. Pathetic.

They spent another off season not addressing team needs. There's not much that can be done now. They can't even fire the manager since they just hired him. Greg is right. It's hard to get swept in a four-game series. Win one and you have a .250 percentage. The White Sox can't do that? But, Greg, no more Ozzie. Ozzie can yell all he wants, and that won't change anything. I've said it before: I don't know how JR can have his name associated with this. Yet, he doesn't seem bothered all the losing. Time for this so-called rebuild to stop, time to spend. But that won't happen. So, we are stuck with this.

Great all around player. Great part of the 1977 Hitmen. Sad news.

Sox fans don't find losing lovable especially during a so-called rebuild.

Major league players can look like little leaguers at times. You just don't want it happening in the ninth inning.

I didn't see the game. I take it the White Sox lost.

They actually won a series.

Pretty bad when the most exciting thing is a dumb ass uniform.

I am one who thinks short-term attendance decreases can lead to long term problems. I am not one who thinks "winning solves everything" especially when a team doesn't win all that much. The Sox do not have a deep fan base. It took years to happen.

So disappointing, Thought he would turn into a first class hitter. But like you said, it's back to struggling.

Just like in 2024. Mid-April and waiting for the season to end.

I fully understand what you're saying, but I have a hard time understanding why JR would let things get this bad, money or no money. He has to know the team is regarded as a laughingstock, and that his name is connected to that. The White Sox have had their low times, but this is the worst.

This goes deeper than Getz. All of this is happening under the guise of rebuiding. Rebuilding is always a risk. But as time goes on, we should see at least some improvement somewhere. Instead, we see regression and a record setting number of losses. This is simply not a major league team. I don't see hope in the near future. I certainly don't see a string of championships coming down the pike. The credibility of the franchise is being destroyed. Time for the rebuild to end. Time to put real major league players on the team.

The White Sox got swept in a home series by a combined score of 23-4 to a team that doesn't even have a major league stadium. Time to call this so-called rebuild a failure. At least face facts.

I don't believe in "complete rebuilds," certainly not this one. But even if some young talent develops, money will have to be spent if you want a real winning team. As a fan, I've heard about these rebuilds over and over, and they have produced one World Series appearance in 65 years. Stop losing 100 games, and I will feel a little better.

What a smash by Robert.

The White Sox have gone through some weird phases during the last 50 years or so , but this is the weirdest. There is no way to know how long JR will run the team. Additionally, as he ages, eventually he will not be able to make sane decisions. The teams is nowhere near winning, and even those who buy into this so-called rebuild have no idea when the team will become a real contender. And if the Sox do find some success, how long will it last? The Sox have no identity and no relevance. And when there is a change of ownership, that doesn't mean things will improve in a significant manner. There is a story about a man without a country. We are fans without a team.

There is no doubt that Vaughn is a huge disappointment. I thought he would develop into a great hitter. But it didn't help he was rushed to the majors and then stuck in left field. It looked like he was afraid to have the ball hit in his direction. Maybe he was overrated; maybe he would have been better if his development was handled differently. But he hasn't produced the power numbers you expect from a first baseman, and he is off to an awful start.

One of the problems was this stadium was it was built for the corporate fan. Baseball had been working class sport where a fan bought a beer and a hot dog not a steak and a bottle of red wine. The stadium, at least in the lower deck, has improved over the years. But if the powers that be actually build a new stadium, I hope the average fan will get some consideration.

You mean the Red Sox aren't going to sweep this series?

No, what I am saying is when you have a player of unique talent, you should do what you can to keep him. I don't see the Sox having multiple good players right now. My main point is a franchise can cheap out to a winner. I say this realizing that long term deals to Moncada, Eloy, and Robert haven't worked out so well.
