The Sox are not failing because of whatever hypothetical LaRussa motivated roster moves were made. The Sox are failing because the guys who were suppose to be stars just aren't cutting it. That simple. Then add continues terrible drafting and minor league development by a front office that goes beyond Hahn's tenure as GM, there is basically a zero talent pipeline to help supplement the failed current roster core and to be able to extend any sort of successful continuity. I laugh at the idea that Reinsdorf will allow yet another rebuild to take place under the leadership of Hahn and Williams. Good luck finding the jumpstart trade pieces on this roster like those of Sale, Quintana, and Eaton. Or better said, good luck finding any team willing to give their farm up on any trades these days. Those days are over. You gotta be able to draft and develop, and good luck again with Hahn and Williams doing that.

Lol. AJ Hinch is a suck ass manager just like all the others if the personnel on the field and in the front office don't pull their weight. The slap in the face to me as a fan was sending LaRussa home but pretending like Rick Hahn had nothing to do with this disaster. Both at the very least should have been dumped this past off-season and new faces brought in to re-evalute this situation with brand new ideas with no emotional ties to this roster and farm system.

To think Reinsdorf basically threw his own Buddy under the bus and hanging the entire failed 2022 season solely on LaRussa. Meanwhile allowing the two clowns in charge to stick around. Folks, sadly nothing is gonna change here until Reinsdorf passes. It's that simple.

I do feel for Tim Anderson. You can tell his hurting inside with the struggles as he sits there after the last out. But the genius skipper has no pulse, hit him 9th to get the pressure off him . Not rocket science.

Andrus lack of hustle, Grifol saving the bullpen to lose.....Rick Hahn is ass Executive

Grifol taking a "bullpen" game and saving the bullpen in the process, only to give away a game.

4.5 games out .... LOL

Man, just when you think the Vaughn thing is finally gonna start clicking. He frustrates the hell out of me.

Good one. 100% a potential Rick Hahn target this coming off-season

Not sure who's gonna have the worst exit in their careers, Shields, Keuchel, or Lynn. But all very similar and ugly.

Amazing how Frazier survives under a Rick Hahn roster . When the story book closes on this fraud ML Executive, his bookend poster moves should go down as Kepinger in year 1 to Frazier in year 50 (it feels that long) of his tenure.

Day game Lynn feels like batting practice every time out .

Go look at the list of the highest players on this team currently, you will throw up. Zero contribution from all of them (Moncada,Grandal, Hendricks, Lynn, Benintendi, Eloy)

Bennetti did a whole half inning on the standings, so please don't bring that negative (realistic) talk in here .

I once thought Eloy could be a middle of the order offensive force. Very blah.

You still give the kid an AB or a game over garbage ass players like Remellard or Andrus. You don't know how many chances you'll ever get as a kid to ever have that chance. But I guess since everyone had s%*# baseball careers like Grifol, then everyone should suffer.

Clint Frazier still on this roster is so symbolic of Hahn's tenure as GM. Just zero imagination since taking on this job.

Grifol is an asshat to young players.

We're going to need a 1B, maybe we draft another one

That's your speculation, which is likely the outcome. But for a lost season, I'd like to see it play out to erase all the "what ifs". Especially when the guy being asked to move is almost to the point of being a defensive replacement player .

If Tim Anderson can be asked to shift to 2B, there is no reason why Moncada (a better glove all around) cannot be asked to do the same in order to keep Burger in the lineup permanently. Moncada and Anderson are weak ass bats where they should accommodate if asked to.

No way you can go another series without that .292 Slugging bat, gotta get him in there somehow.

It makes all the sense to sell, but only if there were different people in charge of the selling and developing those pieces acquired.

And an owner more senile than Virginia McCaskey.

Bummer is worse than Diekman. That's hard to be.
