This stupid idiot, who is in so far over his head he can touch the bottom of the ocean, has the third flipping longest tenure in all of baseball. You could not make this up.

July 23, 20232 yr 4 hours ago, Chicago White Sox said: Rick Hahn literally hired this dude to be his manager in a must win season: Too amped up and hyper/energetic but not focused on studying the game and opposing pitchers? Or a reference to the Sammy Sosa clubhouse incident with the Cubs where they destroyed his boom box with bsts after he left the team? Guess his behavior is rubbing others the wrong way when he's putting up such poor numbers...? Not like his Sox contract made him set for life...maybe some jealousy from other players who had to work harder/longer to get to the big leagues? Edited July 23, 20232 yr by caulfield12
July 23, 20232 yr No way they can name Getz now after Trifold with the taint of the Royals... Better not try to claim it's about Michigan Tough or one crap like that from the winter weather and Chris' time playing or the Wolverines. Surely advisable moving on from Hahn Getz and Beckham altogether and starting some new traditions.

July 23, 20232 yr This team might have even been worse if AJ Pollock and his 50 something wRC didn’t hand them a gift last winter. Fire this clown.

July 23, 20232 yr This team will not change until the entire regime is gone. Hahn, Kenny, Getz...and most important of all, the head of the beast, Jerry. Until then, nothing will change and we'll see this happen year after year after year. Such a sad state of affairs. Go Bears?

Back in 2016 when we were so-called “mired in mediocrity”, we finished with a 78-84 (.481) record and a -29 run differential. We were basically the 19th best team behind the 16th largest payroll. This season ultimately led to the rebuild, which is something no one felt Jerry would ever agree to. Now, as of today, we are sitting on a 41-59 (.410) record and a -75 run differential. We are effectively the 26th/25th best team in baseball behind the 12th largest payroll in baseball. And while 12th may not seem that big, our $185M payroll is only $17M from the 8th largest (in 2016 we were $45M from the 8th largest). Point is Jerry is spending a ton of money and is getting garbage results. Not only that, but it’s having an impact on attendance (worse when almost all teams are up YoY) and ultimately his bottom line. If the mediocre season that was 2016 was able to lead to structural change, then I’d have to imagine the most disastrous season during Jerry’s tenure will lead to something even more drastic. The one thing we know Jerry cares about is never being in the red and Rick has almost single-handily delivered that this year. We are also seeing fan engagement at an all-time low, which poses a threat to future season attendance and TV ratings. Jerry may be super loyal, but sticking with Hahn is literally punting money and we saw there was finally a breaking point with the Bulls when a subpar product threatened Jerry’s golden goose. I just don’t see any way Jerry can ignore all the facts at this point and retain Rick Hahn as GM. Change has to be coming.

While all of this is logical and true, JR is also about to allow him to make changes to this organization related to the future, both immediate and years down the line. Within this week he is gonna make these changes.

Beni is actually playing fairly well right now and I suspect once you get a full year or so past his injury, increased power will come, maybe even some 15 HR seasons to go along with high average and high OBP. I think that's pretty solid, certainly better ROI than most of our signings. Honestly, he is way far down on the list of things to complain about and the leadoff spot seems to be good for him.

July 23, 20232 yr Today Sunday 7/23/2023 is the one year anniversary of the "Fire Hahn" thread! And still going strong! ?

On Tuesday, August 1, 2023 at precisely 5:01pm, if Hahn and Reinsdorf insanely decide to make zero trades and keep the team intact, then that day will officially tell all Sox fans...they are fu*ked as fans with the #1 most dysfunctional loser team in baseball, that absolutely will never change....until Jerry dies and the team is sold! It will be official that Jerry has completely checked out mentally and doesn't give a sh*t anymore. It will be his final stamp of approval to let his genius GM Rick Hahn continue on his quest for the "parade!"
