Flash Tizzle Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 (edited) Reinsdorf strikes me as the type to purposely pass information (true or false) to a limited amount of people, just to see if makes it out to the public. Hahn and KW have been around for a long time, and knowing what we know about loyalty with the White Sox org, I really doubt Hahn (or KW) would leak information as some roundabout way of influencing a decision. Unless….the tweet was given the thumbs up by Reinsdorf and purposely leaked to push forward the decision. Which I’d be more willing to doubt, because it didnt achieve anything… My belief is, whenever an important personnel decision is made and leaked to a twitter account, it’s done by someone who knows enough people have the same information that the source cannot be identified. Hahn, KW and company understand losing JR’s trust is a quicker route to being fired than anything that happens on the diamond Edited October 22, 2022 by Flash Tizzle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWTW is a Hawkism that has been a running joke on here for years. My point was that you have been here long enough to have heard it, but post so infrequently that maybe you haven’t.

AJ'S Cousin Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I’m just hoping Dusty is being asked to comeback next year. That May free up Espada. Unless a back room deal is cut, Dusty does 2023 and they guarantee Espada 2024. Then we have to look at Washington. I think Ozzie is not getting a serious interview.

Tnetennba Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 It leaks that Espada will be the next Sox manager. Everyone reputable and not either denies it or can’t confirm. Beat reporters put out that interviews are still ongoing with Ozzie amongst the names, which he later denies. And we are left knowing absolutely nothing more than we knew 48 hours. Seems the waters have intentionally been muddied quite thoroughly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) The only problem I have with Espada is the love for him is based off of nothing. He is a coach on a good team. We have no idea what his philosophies are. We have no idea what he even does all day. But this is how it goes in all sports. College and pro. The assistant on a good team or in college basketball, the head coach on a Cinderella gets to be the hot ticket. A lot of times, maybe even most, these guys fail. Sometimes they prove to be beyond worthy. For years people wanted Davey Martinez because he sat next to Joe Maddon during games. Now people don’t want Joe Maddon. People want Espada because he sits next to Dusty Baker during games. Dusty has never been praised on this board. Anyone who says they know what this guy is will not be telling you the truth. He is a mystery, but at least he isn’t LaRussa. I think the team needs a vocal guy. A guy that isn’t afraid to confront a player if they aren’t playing correctly. They don’t have to get in his face and try to embarrass him, but the point needs to get through. Enough lackadaisical play.

Before he became a caricature of himself, and before he was all about getting as much attention as he could, he was a really good manager. Surprised me.

I just don’t think it would be as horrible as people make it out to be if it happened. But yea I get the whole typical Sox move, needing change , get someone from the outside and let them choose their coaches etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
