His deadline reeks of either stupidity or arrogance and either way it should not be tolerated. How the f*** did we blow a 6 run lead tonight and somehow use 7 pitchers, none of whom were deadline additions. Honestly, it speaks volume to how bad of a job Getz did at the deadline. Chris should be charged with negligence for failing us so epically these last two months.Sadly, this year probably made Jerry love him even more. I expect very little in terms of offseason moves. I can’t see any offensive starters being added. Probably a few relievers, that’s it.

JR doesn't like to admit he f#$%^& up.I just assume there were issues, restrictions, situations behind the scenes that at least help to explain what happened although what those could be I can't say.My hope is that if the Sox completely fall apart the final week, not even get four more wins for a winning seasons that the mainstream media will hold him to account.
9 hours ago9 hr Isn't it true they haven't developed a single reliever internally...that was actually a signed White Sox draft pick?Other than Pallette for the Guardians?That the only correct answer now is Hagen Smith...a 1-5 draft pick, kind of speaks volumes about getting your relievers from lower in the draft/s.

Chris Getz might win executive of the year. These posts are both fucking insane. I expect this nonsense from the 20 somethings on twitter who would've evaporated into dust during the 2005 collapse but not from veteran posters. This team being .500 this year is a damn miracle.

The guy literally had one of the worst trade deadlines of all time. He would have been better off not even making a single trade and the team would be better right now. Not sure how this can just be ignored. Also not sure what 2005 has to do with this discussion either.I looked for your past tweet about how stupid some Sox fans were to question the Castillo trade but apparently you deleted that tweet. Ron even had a thread about it. Edited 1 hour ago1 hr by WhiteSox2023
1 hour ago1 hr If they miss the playoffs entirely...don't think either GEtz or Venable will win anything.

Saying people deserve to be fired over this is insane though. I never said anything about not being able to critique them. Which tweet? I don't generally delete tweets. I've never been one to hide from my bad takes on publicly available forums.

I've never been one to hide from my bad takes on publicly available forums.Ron posted it here. I remember reading the thread. As you can see, your tweet has since disappeared from Ron’s post and the very next post by ChiSox59 that quoted Ron’s initial post of your tweet. ChiSox59 even references your name and what you said in the tweet. Your tweet was about how Sox fans were basically stupid to question the deadline trades because they had likely never even seen Mason Adams or Boston Smith play in the minors, so apparently they weren’t qualified to critique the trades.

3 minutes ago3 min Accepting the Sox collapse as tolerable, just because we came into the season with low expectations, is faulty thinking. Situations change and expectations change. The fact of the matter is, we had a lead in the division at the trade deadline, in a winnable division and made no moves to help us out, despite warnings from everywhere that we needed dependable pitching depth in both the rotation and pen. The starters who got us thru the first half were already at their historic innings limits. We are now experiencing exactly what was warned about.The reasoning was very similar to what we heard from the last regime during the last rebuild….dont mortgage the future, for today, in the hopes of a prolonged run of success. Well, opportunities for this franchise do not come often and nothing is guaranteed. Show me the sustained success from the last rebuild. I’m not saying to go all in, as I don’t think we were built to win a championship this year, but we should have made a better effort to at least address the concerns on this team and improve our chances to win the division and get this young team some playoff experience. Now it looks like the experience they walk away with is a complete collapse and depressing off-season.
