Orlioles lost. 

Manny Machado just added his 30/100 season that the Sox weren't willing to pay for.  Drury followed it up...didn't need him either for under $1 million.  #28 for Drury nearly doubling Sox leaders.

That's because they are not bullpen guys.

12th time this year the Sox had a lead in the 7th inning or later...and lost.

76th time this year the Sox scored three runs or less in a game.

Graveman, another Rick Hahn signing now has four losses and six blown saves.

The jokes write themselves.

I know right now the FO is going to lean on the injuries this year and there will be zero changes in the off-season.

Literally, the only way this team changes is new ownership. It all starts there - their bullshit runs downhill. We need a Steve Cohen type to come in wanting to win.

The Cleveland sweep was great but getting emabarrassed at home by one of the worst teams in baseball is just delightful.  It's getting awfully hard to scapegoat this bullshit though some people are still trying.  Rick Hahn put together a bad bad bad baseball team.  

White Sox Division Math 9/26/22: Congratulations Cleveland Guardians! You have played hard and smart this season. Hope you defeat the Kennesaw Mountain team for Karma and American League Pride.

White Sox Wild Card Math 9/26/22: 

• Seattle 2-8 White Sox 9-0 (Baltimore 5-5 or worse)
• Seattle 1-9 White Sox 8-1 (Baltimore 4-6 or worse)
• Seattle 0-10 White Sox 7-2 (Baltimore 3-7 or worse)

 

Sox had a challenge this week and they really responded.

8th inning has been brutal this season for our relievers.

Some heads have to roll.  This sweep by the awful Tigers put the final nail on some people’s coffins.  Need accountability.

quit watching a few days ago.. but i see the meltdown is still on go

Every relief pitcher acquired by Hahn has sucked this year...Diekman, Graveman and Kelly.

That's some talent evaluator isn't it?

This is far too generous. The vast majority of new players Hahn acquired the past three seasons 2019 were expensive in terms of salary plus cost controlled prospects.

Based on the numbers below, Rick Hahn

1. Spent $205.8M for 12.8 bWAR over three years.
2. Has $109.6M of mostly dead money over the next two years from these transactions,

2021: $64.2M 6.0 bWAR

• L. Lynn $27.8M 5.7 bWAR (Lost D. Dunning $1.2M 1.8 bWAR) = Net $26.6M 3.9 bWAR
• L. Hendriks $24.7M 3.9 bWAR
• A. Eaton $8.0M 0.0 bWAR
• C. Hernandez $1.7M -0.7 bWAR (Lost K. Pilkington $0.2M -0.1 bWAR) = Net $1.5M -0.6 bWAR
• C. Kimbrel $5.3M 0.0 bWAR (Lost C. Heuer $1.0M 0.6 bWAR & N. Madrigal $0.9M 0.6 bWAR) = Net $3.4M -1.2 bWAR

Sox are gonna get swept at home by a potential 100 loss team ?

Look on the bright side - after this weekend they are much less likely to be a 100-loss team.

Some credit needs to go to Jerry and Ken.
