Kyyle23 Posted September 18, 2024 Share Posted September 18, 2024 Right so promoting Hostetler to a position he didn’t really qualify for but he was in the Sox organization so hey let’s do it sounds nothing like Getz look, you can be excited about a few new guys being hired but they have done nothing and nothing feels different except we keep getting closer to being the worst team in history. But yay on bannister, I’m sure in the next couple 100 loss seasons he will prove his worth and we can root for the pitching coordinator 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrockway Posted December 18 Share Posted December 18 Quote A cited example of the impact of Brian Mahler, the former U.S. Navy SEAL turned White Sox director of leadership, culture and continuing education, are the anti-bias measures the franchise put into their recent managerial hiring process. Applicants had to submit completed written questionnaires full of open-ended queries on their baseball philosophy before they could charm Chris Getz & Co. in an interview. As can often be the case with the updates the White Sox have made to their process in recent years, the end result is something that looks like what other organizations are doing. So in trying to recall what he might have written that distinguished him early in the Sox managerial search, Will Venable spun his wheels for a moment, recalling a litany of questions he answered from different teams before landing on one that he felt was meaningful. https://soxmachine.com/2025/05/white-sox-baseball-cant-break-will-venables-relentless-positivity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't often that something is a fucking terrible idea in real time, and then in the long run it still turns out worse than you expected, but here we are. Hopefully the newest hire means Jerry is LESS involved in the day to day, but I feel like he is old man Jaws always lurking to strike and kill Sox fans joy and optimism. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tried to quit, and JR reminded him that he had a non-compete, and Reinsdorf would exercise it in every instance, or so the story goes.
