Now that Jeter is gone, I expect Kim Ng's Marlins to pass Hahn within four seasons, despite playing in a legitimate MLB division. Baltimore and Detroit should pass the White Sox within two seasons, leaving Cincinnati the buffer between 29th and 30th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cincinnati has Greene and a really nice looking young lineup after the insertion of McClain at SS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 (edited) I suspect Rick will speak to the media today, focus mostly on Liam’s return, which is fine, then take some questions regarding the struggles. He will say it has obviously hasn’t gone as thought or hoped, but there has been some improvement lately, and with Liam and Crochet and Eloy back, and Clevinger in line to make his next start, he still believes in this team, blah, blah, blah. No one will challenge him. THe one thing I don’t get is those that point to the Sox schedule being difficult in April and some of May. So what? If you expect them to be a playoff team shouldn’t playing them be difficult? If you expect them to do damage in the playoffs, shouldn’t they be able to beat good teams?

Tnetennba Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 ‘Mired’ implies that there are outside forces in play. They aren’t mired in anything. Their mediocrity is simply a choice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxrwhite Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Hahn was right when he said they were "mired in mediocrity". Unfortunately if he said that again he would be right again. I see the White Sox as a bunch of individuals not a team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good post as usual, Dick. I'd like to point out the Sox are equal opportunity losers. They've lost to good teams, sure (Rays, Stros) but also gotten boatraced by the Royals (in KC) and Tigers and some other rotten teams. Sox appear to have another horrific road team and a .500ish squad for home games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 30, 2023 Author Share Posted May 30, 2023 https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-power-rankings-week-9 Rockies and Reds passed the Sox. Only Washington KC and Oakland to go. Cubs closing in on the bottom as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised there is not an Adam /Drake LaRoche statue on the concourse after Adam voluntarily gave Jerry $12M to leave the toxicity. If Adam paid Jerry another $1M + to make it happen plus the cost of designing, creating, delivering and installing the statue, Jerry would certainly sign off on it.

That was a sarcastic response to the usual doom and gloom I read about Hahn, JR, the front office or the players. I understand the frustration but the same re-packaged analysis about the same people and things is old news after a while. It’s wasted energy until we see what they do at the deadline since these Hahn getting fired in season fantasies aren’t happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That basically only leaves the MLB Draft for discussion...and even that's depressing because, well just look at their draft history for the past five years or so. And that was when they had multiple top 5 picks. A's fans have a new stadium/venue to look forwards to...Royals have a better/younger core as this is now the backside of the current Sox "window" and the Reds have a much younger or more exciting/dynamic team along with Hunter Greene. I guess we could be compared to the Rockies in terms of complete hopelessness. Edited May 31, 2023 by caulfield12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
