I hope everyone that was cheering on the tank is enjoying the result of the tank now. Next time I hope the Sox have a competent GM in charge of rebuilding while the team is still trying their best to win every A competent owner is required to hire a competent President and GM. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Line Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 If they were smart they’d have TLR on the first flight to Toronto tomorrow to catch the next series as a consultant.

Which I admit isn’t saying much, but there’s no evidence to suggest that Pedro has lost the team a month into the season. He’s been awful no question, but so has everyone else in the dugout. Dragging TLR back could only make things worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the end of May it will be painfully obvious that 1/4th or 1/3rd of the fanbase has simply gone into hibernation (or cryo freeze if this was a sci fi story)... waiting desperately for changes at the top and mostly just hoping to outlive Jerry and Hahn.

The Kids Can Play Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 7 hours ago, reiks12 said: Is it wrong if I revoke my white sox fandom until Jerry croaks or sells? No, if it makes a loyal fan that upset then by all means they should revoke their fandom. However if most frustrated Sox fans instead would show Jerry in another direct message, by refusing to attend games anymore and send the POS owner a serious message the fans are fed up and had enough! The die-hard fans once and for all must send a statement to this apathetic and arrogant owner that his lack of caring and disrespect to his loyal fans, which is destroying the team they love and support, will no longer be tolerated. I realize this won't happen to the degree it needs to, but if it did, I truly believe change would happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 (edited) Trading Gio Grandal and Lopez will help them reach that goal faster... Yasmani Grandal, C, White Sox .257/.342/.443, 2 HR, 7 RBIs "Grandal missed about a month and a half last year due to knee and back injuries. He looked lost when he was healthy, batting .202 with five home runs and 27 RBIs in 99 games. But so far, the 34-year-old has put that behind him and looks more like the version of Grandal who raked for the White Sox in 2021 (155 OPS+, 23 homers). The biggest surprise has been Grandal’s penchant for hitting doubles, already matching his 2022 total of seven. He’s also been better defensively, going from -12 blocks above average (second lowest in MLB, per Statcast) to +3 (sixth best)." https://www.mlb.com/news/healthy-bounce-back-players-2023 If Katz survives the year, John Flaherty becomes the #1 FA target almost by default.

Grandal isn't going to bring back much and should probably be traded before he gets hurt again. Grandal to the Yankees or Mets makes some sense.

greg775 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 On 4/17/2023 at 6:33 AM, Dick Allen said: Defense and the bullpen are killing this team. Yes for sure, but the offense has had way too many Ks vs bases on balls with virtually no power. Once again Sox have to do a lot of work to score runs. And the starting pitching lines have been horrendous of late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s worse than that. What kid in his right mind would grow up a Sox fan? They had one good season that was an outlier, outside the trend of less than mediocrity that has been the staple of this franchise the last decade and a half. If I were a kid growing up now I’d never be a Cubs fan but I could see growing up rooting for the Brewers or the Cardinals. The Sox wouldn’t be on my radar screen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
