Absolutely no way they keep him now. nope. should have been a long time ago Anyway, Id feel a lot better knowing Hahn, KW, Bell, scouts, and minor league instructors were being fired. RV is a terrible manager but noting will truly change until everyone else is gone Edited June 19, 2016 by Butter Parque Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) He has to go today as a last ditch effort to save the season. But they should also be shopping Lawrie, Frazier, Nate, Robertson and Melky and Avi as of NOW. Edited June 19, 2016 by greg775 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Best record in the AL by 3.5 games to the 11th best AL record in 41 days. It's over. Just tonight, tomorrow, Thursday, or Friday. Matter of when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thigpen89 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Ventura should do the honorable thing and just resign. Renteria wouldn't salvage the season, but at least we'll know what we have in him and if we should hire someone else in the offseason.

Whisox05 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 White Sox have lost 26 of their last 36 games. Something has to change, and it may be the manager. https://twitter.com/CEmma670/status/744628210827206656 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Ventura has to be fired after this weekend's sweep. Give Renteria a shot and if nothing changes accountability quickly shifts to the front office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 The front office shouldn't be let off the hook, and Renteria isn't going to be a move to turn this season around. This season is toast because they blew a lucky 23-10 start, and aren't good enough to get that back because of the teams in the division they have no ability beating. Firing Robin now is more about not renewing a lame duck manager. His time is done here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsoxhurt35 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I'd give Renteria the rest of the season. If it continues, then fire the whole staff. Front office needs to be put on notice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan49 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Ventura plays a large part in this but it's not all of his fault. Regardless what can you do if it's not Robin? It's time to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can not believe there are actually White Sox fans that want to bring back Ozzie. That bridge is burned. Good lord, why would we set this franchise back even further?

COACH612 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Can the FO ressurrect Billy Martin? He would at least provide entertainment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 It's a good day to do it. Cavs are getting the national media's attention no matter what. The local media probably isn't heavy in Boston today. It would give the team a few days away before getting the brunt of the local media on Friday, when he'd be gone already. Or we just have to wait 15 weeks. They should make the change now though. Like today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

he gone. Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I heard a stat that Francona has had a +.500 record in 11 straight seasons - but hey, don't worry - you don't need experience. Ask Robin. As much as I love AJ - and I think he could be a good manager. Blunt, honest, firery, smart, been a long, long time catcher - I just don't want the Sox to hire him. Give me someone with experience please. Or a fresh mind set. I'm completely done with this team - like done done. Awful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awful Francona didn't start winning until his 5th year as a manager when he joined the Red Sox. The Red Sox teams he managed had a top 5 payroll every year he was there. Robin is just now in his 5th year managing and has had no higher than the 12th highest payroll. Over Francona's first 4 years he went 285-363 (.439), Robin has gone 297-351 (.458) through his first 4 years and nearly won the division in his first year. If the Sox had Francona during his Phillies days you guys would have the exact same complaints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next season he managed, he won the WS. Better players does tend to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
