Pedro totally out managed in that inning.  

He wasn't the runner-up for the Florida State job for nothing!

Regardless of whether the Hahn Era ends this year or after twenty more seasons, I have a feeling Ricky Renteria and his 2020 1-0 ALWC lead will be his Peak Manager and One Shining Moment, respectively.

“Trying”

• Ventura .389, .451, .469, .481
• Renteria .583
• La Russa .574, .500
• Grifol .304 YTD

”Tanking”

• Renteria .414, .383, .447

LOL....Just...LOL!

I have not watched one inning yet.

BTW howz the farm doing.  Sometimes I prefer to watch that.

Sox players continue to seemingly regress during their peak years.  It makes no sense.  Guys like Kopech, Giolito, Timmy and Yoan should be improving, not having their power/velocity vanishing

If it was one guy or hell even two you'd say it was just an individual issue but when it happens over and over it has to be something about the training and scouting. We never really trade guys early, always a year too late. That's a major weakness.

Farm sucks too. Detroit and Chicago are arguably the two worst franchises in MLB right now. Other teams might be worse right now, but we are the two worst run franchises.

These losers fucking suck.

Really nice job letting Sosa face this guy.  I’d rather see Cease bat.

I miss the the old NL rules.  Cease looked good taking a bat.

Well I guess I'd prefer to watch A ball. You look for individuals.  The Rays AAA team could probably beat some ML teams.

Tigers are improving though... after a really rough start.

Their A Ball teams are playing best across the organization.

Makes sense as these players have the least exposure to White Sox organizational coaching and player development.

• A 10-4
• A+ 9-4
• AA 6-9
• AAA 10-11

Jerry will get on that right away.

Well you guys are lucky, I was going to post some horrific fWAR updates but their website is down.

It’s very ugly, was checking that earlier.

This has been a dead boring team. I'm beginning to wonder if the manager might be replaced sooner rather than later.  I remember when Eddie  Stanky was fired early in the 1968 season and Al Lopez was hired. Maybe Ozzie Guillen might be brought in to try and shake things up. Luis Robert Jr has to be the biggest disappointment on this team offensively.

 

Ozzie for manager! Couldn't be any worse.

Only we give out contract extensions to guys declining

Dane Dunning has a 1.7 bWAR or 2.4 better than Lynn 2022 - 2023. $34M cheaper.

Avery Weems hasn’t played yet this season (promoted to AA last season).

This team is already going through the motions 

Going to be a real ugly season! No pride in this organization.

I would promote Pedroia to Beckman's job. Make Steve Stone manager. Reassign Benetti to trans roller derby assisted living league. 

A's will be just two games behind the Sox after tonight. 

Royals already doing their best out in the desert to fall to 5-18... 

Words cannot describe how furious, frustrated, sad and fed up I am right now. I look forward to every season, now I have to go through this one and wait 6,7 years more to maybe enjoy baseball again. I'm so Fucking tired of Reinsdorf' bullshit. Fucking tired of incompetence Hahn Fucking sucks as a GM. The whole Fucking org is a joke. It's full of people screwed into there seats. They should be called Congress. People screwed into there seats that know they ain't gonna be held accountable. It's a joke. This dude has had this franchise hand tied for 43 years. It's insane. I gotta stay away for a bit. This team don't deserve my time or any of you guys either. We should all just gather so Reinsdorf can just insult us and slap us in the face. Reminds me of the last 15 yrs the buffalo bills were owned by Ralph Wilson. f*** this guy. Seriously

uh oh

I'll say this. If the Sox are gonna be bad, this is absolutely the way that I want it to manifest itself.

I want the largest fucking spotlight as possible on their asses, I want people to call this the most overrated Sox team in the last 15 years. I want the coaches to fear for their jobs, I want the players to kiss any relevant future contract goodbye. 

It's the only solace we as fans can take, that even though upper management is protected from any and all accountability, everyone else will face the repercussions one way or another

I’m easily going to watch less Sox baseball this year than any season the past 3 decades.  There’s truly nothing interesting about this team/organization.

Thought things in Cincy Oakland and KC were bad, but this is something else for a once-proud charter franchise of the American League.

Not sure this year's team was ever highly rated... but your overall point remains perfectly valid.
