I usually never care about lineups but this year WTF

Our ace on the hill (still feels weird saying that).

Good think RR sat Alonso for *squints, sees Rondon*......Maybe Alonso should have started....

Alonso out of the lineup.  Thank you God!

For Rondon? I'd take my chances with Alonso

I wonder if he’s getting released. He just had like 4 days off, and now another day?

Wow its like the DH spot is coded into the 5-hole and literally cannot be changed. That is just awful lineup management. 

Somebody tell Ricky he is not required to hit the DH in the 4 or 5 spot. Rondon should not be there.

Rondon 5th is brutal

Renteria is killing the team with these lineups. 

Anderson, Moncada and Abreu need to bat 1/2/3 everyday.

Totally fine with Alonso being out for Rondon. But the order sucks, and this explanation makes it worse

His justifications for so much stuff this year just makes him sound clueless

Not a good excuse. You give the White Sox org too much credit and leeway.

I think Hahn is doing a good job on the whole.  Like most people he has bosses to report to.  I think Kenney is the problem because he continues to have Jerry's ear.

So strange how some people treat Hahn like he has no say in anything (except good moves, of course)

You don't know that for sure though. Blaming the failures on Kenny is a cop out for Rick Hahn IMO. As a whole, I don't see how anybody can think this front office has done a good job. 

EA not producing needs to play less to not make 550 at bats. RR lineup construction worst I have seen continually from a Sox manager.

Do you or don't you feel this White Sox team will be a top contender within the next two years?  Hahn gave us this time table.  Hold him accountable when he doesn't deliver.  These moment by moment snapshots are rather meaningless.  We both know that Jay, Alonso, Nova and others weren't brought in to be part of the eventual contenting team.  I suspect we like the same players and dislike the same players.  Go get the two best starting pitchers we can afford and a solid right fielder and I'll take my chances.

Sox brass has not proven they can effectively bring in premier free agents to support their core roster.  Until we see that financial commitment to go with strong scouting, there absolutely should be questions about this team’s ability to compete. I think the Twins have a chance to be a real pain in the ass again for the next few seasons.

My money is on Kenny, mainly for attendance woes, 19 years of incompetent scouting and drafting, organizational mismanagement, and he seems content with it.  They should hand the reins over to Hahn and promote Kenny to a team ambassador.
