June 26, 20223 yr The Sox have an opportunity here for a fairly free look. If Tony quits or is asked to leave at the end of the season, he almost assuredly will be replaced by someone in house. That’s what they do. I’ll go with Cairo as the odds on favorite. Tony walks around with one shoulder higher than the other, tell people he is walking away for physical reasons, everyone will know it’s BS but who cares? Make Cairo the interim, see how the team reacts. If they get hot, you bring him back and everyone is happy. If he’s bad, you just saved yourself a mistake. At this point even JR has to know that if this team somehow gets really hot, it’s not going to be because of Tony. It won’t happen. It makes too much sense, and JR has chosen Tony over the team.

I wouldn’t make Cairo the permanent manager even if he took over tomorrow and led them to the Division title. They need to wipe that entire coaching staff out along with LaRussa. Enough with the dinosaur philosophy the Sox continue to run out there year after year

I wonder if they would elevate Jirschelle?

Cairo is just a TLR yes man. I’m not a huge McEwing guy, but he’d be my 2nd choice for internal interim. But Jirechele is the guy.
June 26, 20223 yr Forgive me if this was posted elsewhere, but this ESPN story is ridiculous. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/34149317/short-handed-chicago-white-sox-understanding-their-legs-important-tell-some-players-slow-running-first-base Solution to the injury problem? Don't try so hard! Fuck this organization, man. This team makes me sad.

Don't try so hard! Fuck this organization, man. This team makes me sad. Me too man. Really bummed out last couple days. Right when it seemed like we were poised to get over .500 and get back into the central race, the Sox take a giant dump on our hopes. Fandom hurts sometimes, and now is one of those times.
June 26, 20223 yr Fire Tony. Out of a cannon. Into heavy Dan Ryan traffic. Just put us out of this collective misery already.
June 26, 20223 yr Go look at injuries across baseball. Injuries aren't the issue. Roster construction, player usage and baseball stupid from Chairman on down to numerous players are the issue. Leury Garcia is the worst hitter in baseball and he is on a brand new 3 yr $15M contract......that's it, that's what is wrong with this moronic embarassing franchise. This organization cannot find anyone else capable of being the not worst player in baseball.
June 26, 20223 yr I just realized something, if the Sox turn it around and win the division we will see TLR again next season.
June 26, 20223 yr Was at the game yesterday. The chant surfaced a few times. Edited June 26, 20223 yr by Bob Sacamano

The Sox , even without the injuries, are well short on the talent needed to compete against the top tier teams. Many on this forum lauded the signing of Grandal and the trade that brought Moncada. Those players are inconsequential at this point. Our starting pitching is spotty and the bullpen is a joke. The Sox may become sellers by the trade deadline. Then tank it and bring up Colas., Colson Montgomery, etc and at least make losing an interesting pastime. Our starting pitchers are our strength nowadays.

Sure give everyone the revenue from the YES network and a 250 million payroll and the teams will improve.

Kopech has been less than even he expected he would be in his last couple of starts. Lynn coming off surgery looked OK in his last start, but Gio, who was our Ace at one point, has been in a funk. Cueto has really helped stabilize the rotation.If Keuchekl was still no. 5, Sox would be in even worse shape. Cease is looking like the Ace right now.
