TAss has turned into a walking punchline in less than a year. Started with the baby momma.

I'm still trying to figure out how Grifol was the answer for this team. He may be a smart and fun coach, but he is no manager, and everyone but Hahn knew that.
I also love how people felt sorry for Hahn because he got stuck with TLR. Then proceeded to hire the worst possible candidate for the job when given the chance.

Obviously cleaning house in the FO should be the first priority, but how should they move forward from here? I'm at a loss.
We tanked hard for two years and ended up with a below average first baseman to show for it. This FO is useless no matter what lense you look through.

The good news is.... Clearly farm system rankings doesn't matter for us.

while we might not be able to figure out the "why" we can use "the best predictor of future injuries is prior injuries". Eloy has certainly owned the injury prone label.
Oh we don't do that here in Chicago.

It has to be because he's injury prone. The guy is 26 years old. Most 26 year olds can run 90 feet and not get hurt, whether they stretch out or spend a winter getting their legs in shape.
Hey now, Rick Hahn said he is NOT injury prone.

Will have to accept that he is just a DH which needs to jog to first base, and hope he hits many homers so he can just jog around the bases, IMO.
He must not be present at the parade, celebrating causes injury as well.

Keep the embarrassment going Sox fans!
Sox fans need to quit wasting their money and more importantly, if they finally want change, they need to stop spending money on this POS organization.
I don't give sh#t if Jerry still makes money from other sources, his demented ego will not handle this well when he sees a massive attendance decline, that will be a laughable embarrassment to his franchise and the other baseball owners he is SO MUCH SMARTER than.
I wish I could ask fans to keep it up, but there is no point. This team is such a s%*# sandwich that there is no way to justify spending money watching them. I'm taking the family to Houston in a few weeks and we will just go see an Astros game for entertainment with Abreu shirts or something.

Hahn is basically Tom from Succession. A loser, who fails his way to the top. He sits on the main throne because he is a yes man pushover.

Actually my comparison was not off and was a good one, in the sense the NCAA small schools can win some games as you pointed out, but they are never going to win the NCAA championship, just like the Sox will not win the World Series this year.
Btw, I never said going back to my original post that mid major losses were automatic blowouts. I don't give a crap if a team gets blown out or loses by 2...it's a loss. So please don't put words in my mouth.
Yes there have been a few exceptions of NCAA schools that at one point were so called mid majors that did end up going far. However that was only after they eventually recruited a top 5-10 national recruiting class. For example, like when Las Vegas, U Mass, or Gonzaga went far, was only because they actually recruited a national top 5 class. When that happens it doesn't count as a so called mid major, because the fact is they actually have a better recruiting class in those years than many of the top Blue Blood schools. I'm was referring to the mid majors that don't have players beyond a 2 star recruit.
My point was a NCAA school with 2 star recruits is never going to beat the schools with the 4 and 5 star recruits. This is exactly where the Sox are at. The Sox do not have the talent of TB, Bal, Hou, Atl, Ariz to name a few. Hence why the Sox won't win the World Series. If the Sox could realistically win the WS. then why in the hell are they +15,000 to win the WS by all sportsbooks? You obviously never read the original comments and are taking the entire post out of perspective, based on what my analogy was.
The White Sox aren't a mid major though. They choose to be cheap non competitive clowns. The A's and Rays are a different story in terms of market.

“You don’t take it away from for 60 games” - Holy s%*# this dude is an absolute clown. Can’t wait for him and Hahn to be gone this off-season.
He's right. Lucky for us, by the time Tim gets hot again our season will be over, and it'll be time to trade pieces away. Great thinking. 👍

TA and YO go on my f*** Off list for the rest of the year. Eat some and die fellas. They are taking up roster space hurting the team.
I just looked at Moncada's stats and he is a monumental bust with the bat. Dude has been trash since 2019 being backed out somewhat by his defense.

You're missing my point that goes back to the original comments in the original post. I realize singe elimination is different with the NCAA compared to baseball. I was talking about the overall big picture of winning it all. My analogy was the mid majors are never going to win the NCAA title, just like the Sox in 2023 are not going to win the World Series. Hence why the odds are +15,000.
My other point that I was stressing in the original post was the Sox FO needs to keep things in a realistic perspective and not pass up key trade deadline moves, thinking they we can still win the division and maybe get lucky and go all the way.
We get your point. We are saying that mid majors not only win first round games, but they've advanced to Final Fours and title games. Games against mid majors aren't auto blowouts, as many mid majors are competitive in the tournament every year. Which is why the comparison is off.

Of course the Central division is a joke. The Twins were playing the Braves who have the best W-L % record in baseball at 53-27 .663
Braves in MLB rankings:
BA #2 - .271
OBP #2 - .341
SLG #1 - .488
OPS #1 - .829
HR's #1 - 146
Runs #3 - 438 - 5.54 per game
ERA - #T6 - 3.79
This is why it's so foolish to have the Sox avoid be sellers at the trade deadline and hope the Sox can win the Central. They will get killed in the playoffs when they play real baseball teams.
This is like in college basketball when a small major conference team goes 27-3 in a weak BB conference. Then they get into the NCAA tourney and get demolished in the first round against the big time college programs. This is what will happen to the Sox, Guardians or the Twins in the 2023 playoffs.
Have you been watching the NCAAT lately?

You can't bench TA for good, but move him down and give him a few off days. TA needs to hit .300 to be a valuable piece for us with his limited power these days and shoddy defense.

The Sox had a pretty tough schedule to begin the season, so it figures that we will have an easier schedule towards the end of the season. The question is whether it would be too late.
We are the easy on a schedule. Oakland is licking their chops.

It feels great knowing this team is so non competitive in a terrible division. Hahn should be fired twice for this.

And who gives a rats ass about making the playoffs beyond Jerry counting extra money (glad he got screwed out of it in 2020). It's about advancing in the playoffs (winning pre 1969).
The three years the White Sox advanced in the playoffs: 1906; 1917; 2005.
Man this s%*# is painful.

You weren't as smart. You lucked into only playing the central divisions in 2020 and a s%*# division that gave up in 2021. You are as stupid as we think now though.
