It's time for those who went after Getz ruthlessly to apologize. He's done a great job with having little payroll to work with. I don't think ANYBODY thought we'd be 14-17 now.

Please sign and submit the apology form accordingly.

Hey we are only 1.5 games behind the division leaders. I can't remember the last time we were not in the cellar. Have to savor the moment.

Step one of a thousand-mile journey is saying you're sorry. Step two is being asked why you're sorry. Good luck.

Ron needs to apologize for this thread not being about Jerry Reinsdorf incest hiring Chris Getz.

Well, we were just right behind the Angels for 14th in AL playoff odds…entering the series.

73-89 pace now

Still below Fegan’s 79 prediction.

WestEddy was somewhere around 77-78, right?

https://www.fangraphs.com/standings/playoff-odds/fg/lg

71-91 Angels 2.8% wc

70-92 White Sox 2.2% wc

Nationals and Rockies both in the 60s.

Yankees Dodgers Braves only teams projected in 90s.

When you use the wins per dollar spent metric, Chris Getz has been doing a fine job so far this year.

That’s since 2011…the better metric is which small and mid market teams can generate the most revenue?

We all know the white Sox have been 28th through 30th by that metric since Getz took over, agreed???

I do hate the follow up question of "what are you sorry for?"....and "I'm sorry you're mad" never seems to work.

Never say you're sorry you got caught !

Have the standards fallen so far that this thread wasn't held for the first WC or AL Central title under Getz?

Or sweeping the Yankees?

We just swept the 14th or 15th team in the AL...isn't that to be expected after 2 1/2 years when it was posited by JR that even one year was just too much time to waste?

And one sure result of being relatively close to first place means that Getz will be pilloried for trading Mune for less than his perceived value....

WestEddy is owed an apology by many people here as well. You gave a lofty win total as your prediction, and it seems you may be close.

People slammed Getz for his moves, but you rightfully defended him for how he did given payroll constraints. When you look at the win-to-payroll ratio of this team, he's done a great job.

Hiring origin is irrelevant to the question of quality of the results. Come on man. Thats just elementary logic
