Jerry affirmatively likes what the Sox have done with the farm system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejoesox Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 the wrong things are being discussed here less about whether Getz is gonna fix this team and more about how you'll show them that you aren't giving them any more of your money until they're better sticking around and just hoping that it works is gonna be bad for your health 😕 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chick Mercedes Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 So, my brother said that this was the worst General manager hiring event in Chicago Sports history. Hard pressed to think of worse. Remember, this is not based on job performance post hire. Just the persons, and the circumstabces around a hiring/event. Worst in Chicago Sports history 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTB Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Played golf this afternoon. Got home, read the two presser threads. Got showered and put my White Sox t-shirt on. I’m crying for help. Someone please help me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 One thing of note, in his media availability JR said unequivocally "Going forward, Tony LaRussa has no decision making authority in this organization."

chw42 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Welp, I guess the silver lining to this is that they didn't hire Dayton Moore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be someone like Buddy Bell. (Moore is not leaving the Rangers. He belongs in much more conservative Texas.) Bell can be the curmudgeonly Father/Grandfather figure.

ScootsMcGoots Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I was actually fairly surprised at how aware Jerry was off what people were saying. I just figured he was totally disconnected. While it's obvious, and quite frankly sad, that he does not know how to bring in the right people to build a winner, I think it's apparent that he does care and does want to win badly. Just doesn't know how to do it anymore. Ugh, sucks all around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Chris will come up with one and Jerry will fund it. Until then, sounds like there will be a lot of deep conversations with Pedro “the man with the plan” Grifol.

So basically everyone in the baseball room during the Moneyball movie that were let go by the As and probably ex-St. Louis guys who are friendly with the DUI pirate.
