August 31, 20232 yr Just a tone deaf response by JR.. Been a Sox fan for a long time. Been through a lot of losing seasons. Why does this year seem to be the worst? Why do I care as much as I do? I certainly seem to care more than I did years ago. The Sox used to lose and I would shrug and say, hey, we suck but it’s baseball and it’s fun. This year is just an embarrassment on some many levels. Edited August 31, 20232 yr by soxfaninfl

August 31, 20232 yr Quickest I've ever cancelled my auto-renew for MLB.tv. Sorry, I'm not watching this train wreck, until we have a new conductor.

August 31, 20232 yr The Special Advisor Troika of Tony La Russa, Dayton Moore and Dave Stewart will be Chef's Kiss.
August 31, 20232 yr Now is the time you make a point White Sox fans. Enough with the Twitter warriors. Make it hurt. DO NOT INVEST ANOTHER SINGLE DOLLAR FOR FUTURE TICKETS. Especially you season ticket holders, you can make it hurt. I dumped mine at renewal this time last year, DO THE SAME!?
August 31, 20232 yr So if they have a press conference introducing Getz, who's going to introduce him? We all know Reinsdorf won't dare face the media and Getz is the number 2 guy in the organization now, so will he be introduced by a subordinate?
August 31, 20232 yr 20 minutes ago, HOFHurt35 said: This. Twitter, my text threads, the Score acting like this is some sort of shocking breaking news. This was already expected 2 weeks ago. It sucks, move on. Until Reinsdorf sells or dies, only "YES" men will get high profile jobs on this team. They couldn't control Ozzie's mouth, so he got canned. That would be the last hire (a person with a pulse) like that. I agree with everything except Ozzie got canned because of his mouth. Ozzie quit on the team. Ozzie took a different job. Ozzie is a whole different problem.
August 31, 20232 yr There will be no press conference. You guys really think Jerry is going to get up in front of the microphone and speak to the media to introduce him?

And the only think we can do to affect change is boycotting the games and merchandise. I wouldn't spend a dime on this team. I'd rather go see the Schaumburg Boomers or Kane County Cougars before I give any money to the White Sox. Nothing has achieved anything but I just want to list out all his bullshit and put it out there. I’m not expecting it to affect anything but it would be cathartic lol

August 31, 20232 yr Welp. This’ll be the 3rd straight season I don’t watch baseball. Won’t watch the Sox til Jerry is gone. Classic trash Sox move. What a horrendous organization that deserves everything that happens to them. Disgusting
August 31, 20232 yr Just now, Tony said: Brooks or Reifert could do it. There will be a press conference. The better question is if they’ll take questions. And if so, will anyone have the balls to ask a tough one.
August 31, 20232 yr 2 minutes ago, Milkman delivers said: The better question is if they’ll take questions. And if so, will anyone have the balls to ask a tough one. Right, I assume there will be questions, but I doubt there are any tough ones asked. Although I don't really know what other questions there are at this point? Also, it doesn't really matter at this point. The tough questions make for good talking points for a day. With the way Jerry keeps people, let's all be honest...the odds HEAVILY favor this is the last GM he'll have. So people are pissed about it...what's it going to change?
August 31, 20232 yr I have an issue with Chris Getz's title. Giving him the GM title as the lead decision maker is a mistake imo. It doesn't let you poach from other orgs. If he were given the title of President of Baseball OPS, you could then hire a GM from somewhere and inflate the title to get another smart person in the org. Carter Hawkins isn't in charge of baseball ops but the Cubs were able to take him by elevating his title essentially. It's happened all over the sport.

August 31, 20232 yr The logic of this hire is mindboggling to me. If Getz being the GM was the fastest way to perennial success like JR says in the press release, why wasn't he moved into this role a lot sooner? Failed lackies from a failed regime will keep failing. Enjoy your laughingstock status JR.

Carter Hawkins isn't in charge of baseball ops but the Cubs were able to take him by elevating his title essentially. It's happened all over the sport. It's a positive in Jerry's mind. He created the EVP position not for strategic planning or organization management but rather as a result of the blowup of Ozzie vs. Kenny in 2012 and to keep "his son" and his friend's son on the payroll. Also, Jerry has no interest of poaching anyone from any external organization as the Chris Getz hire proves, and also has no interest in other teams poaching his staff, as proved by the blocking of Kenny and Rick and likely others to pursue external opportunities. Someone needs to challenge baseball's anti-trust exemption to break these unfair labor rules. People should be able to get a job with any organization they are qualified, be it a minor league player trying to avoid Jerry's mandated covid jab, or a front office person looking to leave a toxic organization like the White Sox.
August 31, 20232 yr A part of me says to give him a chance Another part says Ohhh F******** ANother part says Go Brewers
