South Side Hit Men

Laughable. He pitched 6 2/3 innings over 14 days. If you were in charge, he'd be at 60 innings a year by 2030.

Thanks, wasn't on this site until this year. Some of those posts didn't age well, but will post the one that has from the owner of the keeper league I took over (he drafted a great team). On 12/9/14, @thxfrthmmrs said: Bassitt? f***KKKKKKK The echo is still reverberating through Oakland Coliseum Rickey Henderson Field.

"Sign Trevor Bauer? I gave you Jarrod Dyson at the trade deadline and you didn't even advance in the playoffs.. You'll get nothing and like it, show the fans the carrot. It's worked for 40 years."

He looked like shit out there. How many runs would you have allowed before pulling him? How many here would post "fire Ricky" if he gave up a single run? He looked like shit his previous two starts as well. That's what happens when you are relying on inexperienced Minor Leaguers because your GM gave you no other options.

Yet Hahn placed him on the playoff roster as, wait for it, a reliever. Do these two ass clowns have it in them to criticize the man who can pull the plug on their dumbass broadcasting shit-show? Of course not. See Steve Stone for yet another "It's Ricky's call", when it is Rick's call, but Steve Stone doesn't have the balls to call it out.

The odds of his two #3 starting pitcher options throwing well for more than a few batters was zero. Hence the bullpen game. Rick Renteria did not acquire Fulmer, Rodon, Lopez, Gonzalez, and it's not his fault Don Cooper is stuck in the 20th century. The only two starters the Sox can count on either threw away everything Cooper tried (Lucas) or was developed outside of the organization (Dallas). It's been a long time since Cooper "fixed" someone. Yet he is still here, because Kenny is still here, because Jerry is still here. Until there is a change at the top, like there was on the Bulls, the Song Remains the Same.

The number one target should be Giant's Assistant Bullpen coach Ethan Katz. Katz replacing Cooper will do wonders over the next decade. Sad thing is until their is a change in ownership, Kenny remains and therefor "his guy/snitch/rat" Don Cooper remains.

Rodon never should have been added to the playoff roster. That's on Hahn, the man who escapes all criticism on SoxTalk. The lack of other options, also on Hahn. Detwiler was a better option. Hahn's ego, almost as large as Kenny's.

Became excited last year with significant strides several on the team made. Several more stepped up in the bullpen, and Dallas Keuchel was a good addition. I hope the core of Abreu, Robert, Moncada, Jimenez and Giolito are able to build on this season, and more pieces can be brought in to give the team the depth it did not have to compete this post-season. Rick Renteria also deserves credit for continued growth and development by the team, he led the White Sox to one of their best seasons ever, and had a good post-season with the players (healthy and injured) at his disposal. See you all after the next big off-season move, will take a break from reading four weeks (months? years?) of "fire Ricky". Had enough of reading these redundant and at times laughable posts since I joined. Cheers!

Rick Hahn already did it. Rick Hahn hired Ricky in an "extensive" 24 hour job search. He gave him an extension last year. The next General Manager should make the next managerial decision.

Did Rick Hahn win the Series MVP? Bassitt Win (1-0) Montas Win (1-0) Hahn should have added a bullpen arm or two, and gone with Detwiler over Rodon, which I have posted previously. Otherwise, I had no issues with what he did this year in season, and some of his lower end picks did very well (Foster and Heuer). I disagreed with those calling for a starter, and nothing good was available except Clevinger, and that would have been a disaster.

The idiot faction on this board would have gone batshit crazy if fWAR was benched today, or any day. Even I would have questioned it, he was one of your best hitters. Is he saying Eloy shouldn't have started?

Good season, Rick and team gave it their all this series. Too many walks and LOBs to recover today. The ghosts of Jeff Samardzija and Todd Frazier are alive and well.

Now is the time Luis!

I said Detwiler was a better option than an injured starting pitcher with no relief experience and no sign of any success this year, most of the board liked the move. Oh well, a few innings left to go. Finally caught up on the thread, a bigger disaster than the game at this point. Rick Renteria had a good series, he can't throw strikes from the dugout.

Way to get out of it Heuer! Get some more runs Sox, put it out of reach

Big play by Anderson there.

Heuer Time!

HE GAWN!!!

Mazara is the MAN! White Sox 3-0!!!

White Sox 2-0!!! Robert comes through again!!!

Bye Eloy, will take the double. Learn from this and never slide unnecessarily again.

Oh Yeah!!!

Can the Sox start Bauer in the Division Series, if they sign him today?
