I don't think he means long term, just that he might get a cup of coffee later in the year after he's already topped the most innings he's ever pitched in a season.

Plus they were “in it” for a lot of the season, but just refused to get out of their own damn way. This season became a disaster so fast that there was basically no time to even give it a chance. Yes, it's interesting -- the seasons were really miserable in unique ways; I'm not sure which was worse. Last season was when I came to the realization that the rebuild was a failure and the core's talent wasn't inevitably going to shine through and save the team. So in that sense it was worse than 2023 because the drop in expectations was more severe, but they did have a winning record much of the season and were worth following. This season was uniquely embarrassing because the quality of play was so low and the team continued to outdo itself in humiliating and abusing its fans, (all while the hated Cubs ascended) but as you say, it was easier to just tune the team out because they were out of it so early. You have to hand it to the White Sox -- their ability to harm their fans emotionally is almost artistic. Where some masters work in oils, watercolors or clay the Sox work in failure.
August 22, 20232 yr Trying to be optimistic while dealing in JR's reality. I'm wondering what Hahn has to do, or not do, to get fired. It seems like he's bulletproof. If he truly has a lifetime appointment, at best he gets promoted after Kenny retires and his replacement gets lucky. Meanwhile, he did build a roster that was the favorite to crush the division just two years ago. He could do that again.

August 22, 20232 yr Damn I always thought of this thread as the all too wishful thinking thread in perpetuity. Yet here we are. This thread can actually be closed.
