Highland Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Is the Giant player who hit the ninth inning grand slam going to get fined for trying? I hate when position players pitch. That's not baseball. I don't care if the pen gets stretched a bit. Put a major league pitcher in there. I can't remember when a Sox team looked this bad. This was beyond embarrassing. In the booth, the usual nonsense. This is only one loss. The team should just forget it. Yes, they can forget it until it happens again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe even forced to work a low paying retail job, or fast food. I’m sticking with, for now just Cease and maybe Robert Jr. are untouchable.

chitownsportsfan Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 It's slightly alarming that if we aren't going to get 6 strong innings from our starters we appear to be in danger of giving up 10+ runs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 With L & L gone I thought it would take a while for an on field scapegoat to arrive. It may not take that long. Or maybe we'll have too many to chose from. New season - same old s%*#. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip Man 1 Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 (edited) Well...at least they didn't get swept. But this is just flat out embarrassing. I hope Rick, Kenny and JR are enjoying this.

Sarcasm aside, go look at the predictions thread. Lots of chatter about how this is a super talented roster that will win the division and how Pedro and company will be such a breath of fresh air.

The problem is, its long overdue for a new direction and leadership. The White Sox organization is stale stagnant water, its time to dump it and refresh with new voices and direction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears the offense has regressed positively just in time for Hahn to build one of his bullpen specials. So yea, I have no idea why anybody would expect 90+ wins with the talent we have. Compared to two years ago the pitching talent is down across the entire board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guardians at even more of an advantage with aggressive base running and one of the deepest farm systems in the game. White Sox would be doomed with their #2 started out for significant time. Nice job pursuing Conforto on a shorter term make good deal versus committing so much money to post-prime Benintendi... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually enjoy watching bench players pitch. It’s kinda fun. Wasting an arm on that game making them potentially unavailable tomorrow in a game that isn’t decided is dumb. Just wish position players actually tried. The lobbing is so lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never understood that JR, as hard-headed and pragmatic a business person as you'll find, is so adverse to firing people or holding them accountable for performance. Just very strange.

See 1997/2003 Marlins. Of course Dombrowski is/was a much better judge of talent. Edited April 6, 2023 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far too early to even be discussing this, the Sox are 3-4 7 games in lol. But Iif you are “rebuilding” keeping Cease and Robert, tho only two guys that would return absolutely elite talent, is dumb. Sorry to break it to ya tho, Sox aren’t rebuilding any time soon. They may trade some expiring assets if they’re way out of it come July, but that’s about it.
