South Side Hit Men Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Rick Hahn has earned each and every loss over his tenure. Godspeed on 100 losses and an exhumation of Hahn and everyone else in his organization, and every officer across the entire organization, for flushing a generation of White Sox fans down the toilet. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Before you know it, it will be 2025, and it will be 20 years since the only WS win since 1917. But don't worry, Hahn has acquired a bunch of prospects that will be ready to play sometime after 2025. A couple of 100-loss seasons never hurt anyone. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reiks12 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 A few more decent starts and Dunning will have more WAR than Lynn since the trade. Another big W for the Harvard wizard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would still make trade. problem is being stuck and unable to adjust yearly due to inability to sustain a farm or be smarter than an average bear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Words of wisdom from Cohen to Hahn “I said before, ‘Hope’s not a strategy,’” Cohen said, referencing a June press conference in which he hinted at his plans if the Mets failed to improve. “Now, saying that, we didn’t have any idea of what was possible at the Deadline, and we weren’t just going to do deals for the sake of doing deals. But we thought we got a great return for the people we ended up trading.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeC Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 I wonder how the Sox rank in terms of number of innings scored. This team seems to get 1 solid offensive inning a game... that's it. I'd be willing to bet that, even among other teams with similar offensive statistics (runs scored), we'd be near the bottom in the number of innings scored.

Disagree, when you don’t have a decent farm and young pitchers are a rarity, all the more imperative to stack up a particular year to be good. Unfortunately he wasted what he had left on Craig kimbrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lip Man 1 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Just got done listening to the latest Podcast by Chuck, he had Jim Callis on for the full 45 minutes. Callis said they would move the Sox system up to the mid-teens after the deals and they do now have a good amount of talent and options at catcher and left handed pitcher. Said Montgomery and Schultz are going to both be very good. Thinks the Sox had a solid, deep draft and would have put several of those selections on the Sox Top 30 list before all the trades. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylqz6x4RkeA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
