September 25, 20241 yr I hate so many of these players. Just terrible character judgment by Hahn, KW and Getz.
September 25, 20241 yr "The front office promoted first-year coach Grady Sizemore to interim manager, essentially taking on-the-field decisions out of the dugout and into the executive suite. Sizemore had expressed no desire to manage but was picked because players like him. "

Sizemore had expressed no desire to manage but was picked because players like him. " I wonder if it is just that Sizemore didn’t want to manage this record breaking team or if he doesn’t want to manage at all and be a special advisor / developmental guy in a team’s front office?

That's a good question. Maybe he's self aware enough not to want the job, or want to manage yet until he has more coaching experience? And he's just being a good soldier as interim? I just found the quote alarming, and it more or less confirms Grady is just there to follow orders from above. Edited September 25, 20241 yr by Tnetennba

September 25, 20241 yr Author 13 minutes ago, fathom said: Also, Tony has killed this franchise so much. He needs to go away. If you read this, it’s clear that JR thinks things went bad because Tony isn’t managing any more.

September 25, 20241 yr Quote At the 2023 trade deadline, other teams -- aware of the dysfunction in the White Sox's clubhouse -- passed on opportunities to take on some of the veterans because of the ugliness of some of the emanating stories. One executive said of one of the pitchers the White Sox were trying to trade: "We've seen that act before." Trying to think who this would be.
September 25, 20241 yr That clubhouse was a s%*# show in a dumpster fire on a train wreck. How the f*** did they let it get so bad.
September 25, 20241 yr 1 hour ago, fathom said: Also, I wonder how much political leanings led to some of the friction Advocating for the right for the LGBTQ community shouldn't be a political issue. It's just about not being a total fucking asshole. I suspect it had something to do with it though.
September 25, 20241 yr I don’t want them to trade Crochet or Robert because Getz is going to get fleeced but knowing how much of a dumpster fire this franchise is makes me hope they trade both of them before the Sox destroy their careers. I’m glad Kopech got out. This story is almost exactly the reason I see negative value in bringing up a guy like Quero for this season. I’d prefer to even keep guys like Baldwin, Sosa far away. Also confirms almost all suspicions on why Vargas always looks like a sad puppy and why Giolito appeared physically ill at all times.
September 25, 20241 yr Two thoughts: 1) Other than Jerry, it seems that TLR is the root cause of a lot of strife in the org. 2) @southsider2k5 looks like our theory about the new organizational attitude towards Latinos might hold weight if you read what Olney and Rogers are thinly implying.
September 25, 20241 yr So this was the Jerry plant piece to blame all of the people they wanted blamed to take the eye off of them. Wondered when this was coming.

Sure doesn't do anything to fight it.
September 25, 20241 yr I think having Tony "retire" would help at least a little bit. It certainly wouldn't hurt. It all started going wrong once he started getting comfortable.
September 25, 20241 yr 1 hour ago, fathom said: Also, Tony has killed this franchise so much. He needs to go away. This should be literally step 2. Jerry going away step 1.
