August 15, 20241 yr So when a team is bad you replace the manager. When your pen is even worse than top AA farms you keep the pitching coach. Katz is the new Daryl Boston.

Katz is the new Daryl Boston. Is Katz responsible for the stiffs, has-been's and never was's in the bullpen? You can't make chicken salad out of chicken s%*# can you? Not completely defending him but that is a lot of hot garbage in the bullpen which is partially why they have taken a lead into the 7th inning or later 24 times now...and lost the game.

Katz is the new Daryl Boston. Katz isn't responsible for this shitty bullpen. Chris Getz is. There is like one or two guys out there who have the actual talent to be in a major league bullpen. The rest are doing exactly what they should be doing, and I can't hold that against a pitching coach. Brebbia has underperformed for sure, and so has Wilson. Sounds like Wilson is probably hurt, so really John Brebbia is the only black mark, and with as volatile as a bullpen is from year to year, I would cancel out Brebs with Tanner Banks sucess and call it a wash.

August 15, 20241 yr What the record for the earliest date hitting 100 losses? Asking for a fanbase...
August 15, 20241 yr The hope for a White Sox comeback begins 5 years after JR has passed and Getz is fired. Until both things happen, the Sox will NEVER see .500. And even that's no guarantee. Go Bears! Go Hawks! Edited August 15, 20241 yr by Rounding_Third

Never in my most horrible nightmares did I envision the White Sox falling to the depths we have seen this year and it’s not over and as you stated this can go on for years.

Agreed! I've been a Sox fan longer than most alive and have never experienced this kind of disgusting & diabolical operation of a sports entity. I'm not even aware that its ever existed to this magnitude. The only similar experience was the Arthur & Bill Wirtz Blackhawks. This is much, much worse as is Reinsdorf though they were all chiseled from the same heartless mold. Their only true love is greedy & miserly wealth.
August 20, 20241 yr The white Sox now have -5.2 fWAR from position players. I believe this is the worst ever and will finish as the worst ever.

August 20, 20241 yr Wait, one more… The Red Sox just released 1B Dominic Smith. He’d be our best hitter by OPS before Vaughn. 278 PA .237 AVG .317 OBP .390 SLG .707 OPS 6 HR 34 RBI
