Tnetennba Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 On 5/13/2023 at 6:58 AM, Chicago White Sox said: I really wonder how Rick Hahn sleeps at night. Like even the most incompetent assholes would step down if they were the architect of this failure. But Rick just keeps on chugging by blaming everyone else but himself. Dude must have a massive ego to be so blind to his own shortcomings. I can’t believe we’ve been stuck with this clown for 10 years. They are all way to comfortable knowing the results on the field don’t matter so long as the money flows in. Maybe they cared about winning at one point, but now it’s all about selling the perception and putting lipstick on the pig. His job is PR and roster minutiae, he keeps the bosses happy, and he he’s paid well. They all live comfortably in the delusion that their way is the right way and fans who complain are simply ungrateful. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally everyone in baseball would have understood it. He could probably have negotiated out of any noncompete clause for a reduced salary and taken a job as an assistant GM somewhere with his reputation mostly in tact from having rebuilt the Sox into a playoff team. He could then wait out another GM job if that’s what he wanted. He also would have gotten out of any of the restrictions on spending that people believe are imposed on him. He’s here by choice. Resurfacing ... Rick Hahn is a spineless twerp, who will ride this out as long as possible because it's the last job he'll ever get. #worstGMinsportshistory 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Hahn is the problem though. And the only job he is getting is here because of JR and Kenny. No other team is putting up with him even after 2020. He had a ton of failure on his resume and didn't do that great in 20 or 21. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No other team is putting up with him even after 2020. He had a ton of failure on his resume and didn't do that great in 20 or 21. To be fair, a lot of Sox fans weren't expecting a playoff appearance until 2021. All that said, there probably wouldn't have been one with a full 162 game season that year...and not playing the relatively weaker divisional opponents so often. That Exec of the Year award for "the potential of the rebuild" turned out to be a massive mistake...and led to a sense of entitlement/complacency/overconfidence in player personnel decisions, like not signing a superstar like Harper when Machado and he were both available. This was also based on overconfidence in Yoan Moncada being a future stud...when he hadn't proven anything at all prior to 2019. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lip Man 1 Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 As a side note I don't know if anyone has noticed that Rick hasn't shown his face or spoken with the media yet on this homestand. But remember Kenny claims "accountability around here isn't a problem..." 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immediately after the trades, 2020 seemed like an entirely reasonable time for a young team to be making a playoff appearance. That schedule seemed to be set back after a generally really bad 2018, between guys who struggled at a lot of levels and bad injuries (Kopech, Robert). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And one of only three teams at -60 or greater in RS/RA allowed differential with KC -60 and Sox at -71 and Oakland having at least Brent Rooker and a franchise relocation/new stadium to look forward to for some fans. Other than KC, there's no team with a bleaker immediate and then shorter term future....and that's certainly arguable with Witt, Pasquantino and a lot more financial flexibility. Would have said Pirates/Reds...but not now. Same with Detroit. Rockies...maybe? Angels if they trade both Trout and Ohtani have an immense injection of talent forthcoming and one of the better markets in baseball to draw upon.

Dick Allen Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 I agree, never really open or open just a small crack. As to Rick not meeting the press. If he is ill or he has some family obligation, like maybe he has a child graduating, then not doing it was fine. If he just wants to avoid it, it shows another reason why he shouldn't have the job.

Either way, fire Rivk Hahn He always had the off day on Monday if he really wanted to face the media. He definitely didn't want to hear about KC taking 3/4. This was supposedly their stretch in the schedule to make up some ground... but they're falling further and further behind instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
