The opposite of love is not hate, it's apathy, which is what Hahn, Jerry et all have earned after what they have done to this franchise. Adios amigos! That’s what I hear whenever I talk to people about the Sox, and it’s very bad for the franchise. People aren’t even upset anymore. They simply do not care what this team is doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constantly giving up extra bases. Couldn't put away Cubs hitters. Same thing against Cleveland...supposedly a subpar offensive team but not against our Sox. Also we are getting run out of the ball park the last few games. Our catchers can not get any runners out, not helped by our pitchers not holding the runners, poor defense also has allowed runners to take extra bases. We are looking like the Charlotte of the South Side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a lost year for Monty and I don't think that he's gonna be a star unless he finds more power. It's August and he's gonna get what, one month in Birmingham? Both Monty and Gonzalez could be a solid MI for a while though. Out of all of their prospects, Schultz is probably the guy with the highest ceiling. I don't disagree with you on the timeline and Montgomery is only slightly ahead of the rest. Edited July 28, 2023 by baseballgalaly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is talent on the roster, but the front office and coaching staff simply isn’t able to get it out of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I can only get on with my phone but I have to turn the wifi off. EDIT: Looks like it's working with my wifi now. I had to go on the Sox reddit page to compensate. Holy hell there are still a ton of Hahn defenders left. I had no idea. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good return on paper for Giolito but Montgomery and Schultz are potential stars. I’d be really surprised if Quero reaches that level, especially with the Sox and his defense needs to get way way better to even make it a possibility. I'm skeptical of Montgomery, Gonzalez and Quero as impact players, but I think they have a good chance to be solid MLB starters for a while. Schultz is the one guy I'm excited about as a potential impact player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sad but I still haven’t taken my kids to their first White Sox game (not counting spring training). 2020 wiped out one chance and then LaRussa and some family stuff made 2021 not happen and I’ve had zero interest in giving Reinsdorf any money since (also why I haven’t been to a Bulls game in 5+ years despite splitting season tickets for Bulls games for years prior to 2017).

Just swallow your pride and give them Cubs gear. I believe more and more that the Sox are out of Chicago when the eventual sale happens anyway. You’re still dealing with a crappy team, but Cubs fans just seem generally happier. They have sort of a cartoonish humor about their crappiness. We have gallows humor, anger, and resentment.

If they trade Schultz we riot. But knowing how this org is run, it is completely possible that they sell now and then turn around this winter and flip these guys for other players.

Long time posters may remember possibly how irate I got and made vicious posts during and after losses, getting in trouble a few times. When everybody thought the Sox knew how to draft during the tank job I was one of very few posters wanting/demanding Ws not Ls. Now I truly don't care. Why? I feel like the team and front office doesn't care so why would I care. That coupled with the fact modern baseball is so boring and expensive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst case I'll have them follow the Brewers or wherever the Sox move to if that's the case. Not obligated to root for a Chicago team only (hell I grew up a Dolphins fan before settling on the Bears after Marino retired cuz they stopped showing Dolphins games here). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won’t go far if they do but they still have a real shot at their 6th playoff berth in 8 seasons (so one less than the white Sox have had since 1960) and that is with 3 rookies in their starting rotation and their best pitcher basically not pitching this season.
