HoosierSox Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Rick has one of the most expensive bullpens in baseball and they all suck so he has to dumpster dive for trash relievers. One of the many reasons he should not have a job. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 (edited) If we start 12-22 or something like that, Hahn has to go. Like, enough is enough with this s%*#. wrong thread- but the point still stands Edited April 7, 2023 by flavum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 (edited) Maybe it will help, but it's basically desperation stuff. The surprise would have been if 36 year old Diekman (fresh off of 2 negative WAR seasons) wasn't terrible this season. These lazy FO clowns had him penciled in to the pen.

mstrub Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Question for all of the people who know more about baseball farm systems than me (which is everyone here). Where are guys like Colby Smelley, Bryce Bush, Tanner McDougal, Andrew Dalquist, etc. right now? They are all labeled as being in the White Sox organization, but they are not on any of the affiliate rosters. Are they training elsewhere? Is there a full list of White Sox minor league players anywhere? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomtom Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 It’s absolutely ridiculous that they don’t have one decent arm at Charlotte to bring up. I live in Upstate NY and get to see a lot of Yankee games, and whenever they need an arm they call up a reliever who is usually effective….and the Yankee draft position is a lot worse than the Sox.

Like, enough is enough with this s%*#. wrong thread- but the point still stands https://www.espn.com/mlb/attendance White Sox are going to end up bottom 8 in attendance this year if they don't finish April over .500. 1998-99 were their last two attendance years in the 1.3-1.4 million range. We went 1.6 million in 2021 to 2.0 million last year and it's inevitably going to fall at least back to 1.4-1.5 million with how angry and frustrated the fans are with the ownership and front office at this point. http://www.espn.com/nba/attendance Meanwhile the Bulls as the #10 team in the East are leading the NBA in attendance at roughly 20,502 per game (roughly 1.68 million if extrapolated out for 82 games) .

I live in Upstate NY and get to see a lot of Yankee games, and whenever they need an arm they call up a reliever who is usually effective….and the Yankee draft position is a lot worse than the Sox. It's not only ridiculous, but it's sickening and it exists for a few good reasons: 1. The Yankee owners care about winning and our POS owner could give a s%*#. 2. Their GM Brain Cashman is a proven successful GM who knows how to build a winning organization. Their organization knows how to draft players, make solid effective trades and spend the right money on free agents. Our GM is an incompetent executive who has failed miserably in building a club that can efficiently scout, draft and develop players. Furthermore, Hahn has been horrible in trades and free agent signings, which obviously the Yankees usually do very well at. 3. Yes the Yankees always pick behind us, but obviously they have a track record of knowing how to scout, draft and develop winning major league pitchers. Until our POS owner Jerry Reinsdorf is no longer the owner of the White Sox, and the new owner fires the loser Rick Hahn, this team will always swim in the baseball hell of mediocrity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
