This is a great post. Thank you for sharing. I would be glad to have a clean slate when this team is sold, assuming Michael Reinsdorf will sell the team.

Thank you. I finally got around to watching the Hawk interview with AJ before the season. There was a thread here about the comment made about being fired/forced out. Many of us perhaps suspected that may have been the case. What I found more interesting were two comments regarding Brooks Boyer. If it were just Hawk, than one could also accept them with a grain of salt because he was dismissed, but it has been consistent with public reports primarily from Farmeo and Jason, and also consistent with personal conversations I've had with one prominent White Sox employee in the past.

https://soxmachine.com/2023/03/pedro-grifol-inherits-issues-from-white-sox-but-not-expectations/

 

Hawk Segment starts 52 Minutes in.

Highlights

  • 57:50 Opposed to the pitching clock due to the nature of the game, allowing pitchers getting into a rhythm.
  • 1:01 - The importance of batter positioning in the box (or pitchers locations) and the importance of instilling a "sense of control" of the plate.
  • 1:05 - He did not want the GM Job, but Jerry talked him into it.
  • 1:06 - Jerry's word used to be his bond and the organization was a great place to work for. Brooks Boyer has influenced Jerry to the point neither of these attributes remain in the organization.
  • 1:08 - I got fired. 
  • 1:10 - Cleveland has a great manager. Sox have all these changes, Hawk never heard of Pedro). Went into the clubhouse issues he said he discussed with Jerry, the Latin players listening to music and the White players working their social media accounts, can't tell whether a team won or lost after the game in the clubhouse.
  • 1:12:50 - Manfred is trying to change the game, and doesn't know what the game entails, these changes are ridiculous.
  • 1:14 - Cleveland will win the Division, they asked about a wild card and he said he hopes, and that he still follows and roots for the team. Said 2022 was by far the worst White Sox year in all of Hawk's years around the club. There was no comradery, even Abreu said it in Houston, they weren't a team or family.
  • 1:14:50 - Said his criteria for a good manager is whether teams are playing hard for the team, not wins and losses. Are players busting their ass and into each game. If you have a team that busts their ass all the time, you have a good manager.

I really enjoyed the interview. I wasn't a huge fan of his style of broadcasting (did love his love of the team and baseball).

Rick can't really believe he's a good GM can he?

That’s what I keep saying too. He’s a smart person. Intellectually, he has to know that he’s not fit for this position. I truly believe he will be fired this weekend.

this is what I'm saying guys he's basically a hostage who sold his soul for the position and can't get out and just has to sit and watch how bad he is at it. Like that simpsons episode where Homer goes to the pilot bar and gets forced to fly the air craft, except after he crashes it the owner of the air craft company says he's doing great and to keep flying
