Because Coop has succeeded with a great number of our pitchers beyond their expectations (including a good deal of young guys) where Walker flat-out hasn't (including a good deal of young guys). Coop also has arguably the best 'pen in baseball right now.

 

But really, to make it clear, if we were to fire both Coop would have another job in a week and Walker wouldn't.

I'm glad you're a baseball executive and know this. Quentin, Ramirez, Konerko, Dye came back after being awful with Oakland and he was healthy his final year there. As I said, the White Sox line-up has a lot of crap. That's not on Walker.

DA, you know you're my favorite...but I can't see how anyone defends Walker anymore. You need to see what we can do with a different hitting coach before making decisions on the future of some of these guys. It's not the physical approach anymore, but mentally, something is f***ed up.

It really makes me laugh that the only argument in defending Walker is that Cooper should be getting just as much s***, rofl.

How is it that following a Birmingham game on the internet is so much more fun than watching the White Sox on tv?

I never once blamed Walker for the failures of Wise and Lillibridge, and anyone who did is an idiot.

 

Both of those guys were clearly not Major League talent.

 

Anderson is? Fields is? Getz is?

 

Why is it so hard to fathom that the reason our young players suck this year is because

 

wait

 

They're not good enough?

 

What can walker do with s***?

When they are in the line-up, the contribute to the lack of runs, and you blame the lack of runs on Walker.

I'm all for Williams stepping down, however, as the players who are on the ML roster (outside of Beckham, who was a can't miss for whichever team grabbed him) are HIS players and scouted by HIS scouts

This team won the division last season and you want the GM to step down because of one lackluster offseason?

It's truly laughable.

Nice hustle there Getz...ugh

I'm going to be taking the LSAT on September 26. It would real nice if the Sox had 0 hope of playoffs by then for my cause. Sadly, we still could be in the race with how bad the division is.

Ozzie is no likey Getz right now

thank god for mlb.tv. i can watch another game... my lordy.

Then read mine

Ozzie is no likey Getz right now

 

He shouldn't, he stinks.

Dye almost had a career ending injury with Oakland. It wasn't until he was fully healthy and had gotten re-adjusted to major league pitching that he started performing. Alexei was on the Cuban National Team! He was always this good, and both Q and Konerko were huge prospects who received their first fulltime opportunities with us.

When they are in the line-up, the contribute to the lack of runs, and you blame the lack of runs on Walker.

 

And the reason they are in the lineup is because Ozzie is an idiot/Kenny is an idiot. I blame Walker for the lack of any good plate discipline by anyone except maybe Konerko.

 

And yes, Fields is a major league talent. As is Brian.

thank god for mlb.tv. i can watch another game... my lordy.

 

Don't watch NL games...good lord, do those teams suck.

Anderson is? Fields is? Getz is?

You wanna tell me that the first thing you thought when you saw Field and Ba's minor league numbers was that these two kids were going to be busts at the Major League level?

I can't believe we keep calling up these awful minor leaguers, and they continue to do bad. I can't wait to see what Van Benschoten will do up here.

He shouldn't, he stinks.

 

Beckham 2B

Lexi SS

Pods CF

Fields 3B

 

for the rest of the year, just leave it alone

 

anyone else with me?

It really makes me laugh that the only argument in defending Walker is that Cooper should be getting just as much s***, rofl.

I really don't blame Cooper for anything. I'm just pointing out the inconsistencies in how they are judged. Cleveland now has 8. If the Sox have 0 Walker needs to be fired.

I predict Link will be called up relatively soon.

Beckham 2B

Lexi SS

Pods CF

Fields 3B

 

for the rest of the year, just leave it alone

Getz and his .600 OPS will be hard to replace.

You wanna tell me that the first thing you thought when you saw Field and Ba's minor league numbers was that these two kids were going to be busts at the Major League level?

 

Because nobody who had good numbers in the minor leagues has come up to the big leagues and not succeeded.

 

 

Oh DJ, how did Kansas City ever let you get away?
