Hendricks isn't used properly because the rest of the pen blows.

Also The coach was irate cuz he’s ready to go home and sleep

Oh please, both the 10U coach and the Sox one probably want to go drink.  It’s astonishing how much alcohol is prevalent at travel tournaments.

I remember when people said Hendriks sucks 

About the same time they were saying Yoan was garbage.

Cardinals need to make trades more than the Sox do. They need another outfielder and a reliever badly. 

Is O'Neil out for a while? Bader should be back in 1.5 weeks.

Yes it is. No one knows what goes on behind the scenes unless they don't like it. Then it's the person they don't like at fault.

Well, you’d have transparency and proper job delineation in a properly run organization. Sadly, we are fans of the Chicago White Sox.

A manager should have input into their coaches and players. I’d say Ricky had zero (coaches) to minimal (player) say. Tony appears to have above typical input based on the acquisitions, with Lynn, Hendriks and Lamb definitive prior history with Tony

Lynn was the best player acquisition since the tanking trades (Katz overall best acquisition), while Tony obviously liked him, give Hahn credit for getting the deal done. Also, there’s evidence the Sox were interested in Lynn last Summer. Jerry may have already determined at that point Tony was going to be hired in October, and Tony may even have given Jerry input on players last Summer, buts it’s just speculation at this point.

I believe it’s universally accepted Hahn was opposed to the La Russa hire, in a range from disappointed / upset to furious.

West is just the worst...

Ángel Hernández is the worst. At least Joe has charisma.

Amazing how much less explosive his stuff is this year. No one chases anything because it’s just not as electric.

It is a bad omen for a reliever to walk 2, leading by 5.

Jesus Christ this bullpen!

They are the Cardiac Kids.  They can send you to the ER.  You never know with them what to expect.  No lead is safe  late.
