I'm looking for more infamy than just the 120 losses. I want them to set the all time worst winning percentage.

I still worry the Angels will roll over and screw up our march to infamy.

Guys; I think we have this all wrong. Getz is a genius. He's going to keep trotting Sheets, Nicky, Vargas, and Moncada out there the rest of the season. We'll lose >120 games and be the worst of all time. Then.......he makes genius move after genius move in the off season and we ONLY lose 95 games next season. And.....POOF he's Executive of the Year for a 25+ game improvement over this season. He's playing 3D chess and we're mearly playing checkers boys.

I never revel in someone losing their job, but I'm thrilled this happened today. The man was not remotely qualified to be an MLB manager. The Royals passing on him for their job twice told us all we needed to know. On top of that, he really was an unlikeable guy. Major ass kisser to management. Throws his players under the bus. And just a generally surly dude that you couldn't remotely root for. All that said, my expectations for the new manager are in the crapper. Getz using the same "extensive search" BS we heard from Hahn the last two times. Get ready for LaRussa's buddy Skip Shoemaker to be the choice.

Why am I not surprised that Getz got fleeced in this deal? He is totally unqualified as a GM and a proven failure as a minor league developer of talent. We had a guy with 1½ years of control that should have returned a top 100 prospect at a minimum. He packages that guy with Pham and Kopech and gets a AAAA player and 2 really young kids that now get to develop in the worst minor league "system" in baseball. He got taken apart at the Big kids table and thinks he won because JR is happy he reduced payroll. This franchise is utterly doomed until JR draws his last breath. Really happy we didn't waste a year of a REAL GM having to learn the organization. Getz hit the ground running and under JR's direction has turned us into the laughing stock of baseball. Thank you JR, you sanctimonious a$$hole for ruining the team of my youth.

I have no inside information, but I'm guessing both Crochet and Robert are White Sox on July 31. The teams that want them the most don't have the "blow you away" prospects we should get for those two. I think Getz keeps them both and the market opens up for other teams this off season that see themselves close, but not in the hunt this year (e.g. Cubs). The July 30 frenzy might get some teams to up the ante, but the return needs to blow us away or we stand pat on those two.

Stunningly bad AB's with men on base. No plan, no execution. I know there are some horrible busts on this roster, but 10D does not belong on an MLB roster. Jeesh.

It's OK. That just means we're a virtual lock for the #1 draft pick next year. What?!? What do you mean?!? We pick 10th at best!!! These jamolks can't even lose right

Perfect. Make him even more untradable being a Boras client.

Ummm, I don't think he's "playing" dumb.........

The only person that wants Pedro to keep his job is Terry Bevington. "I'm no longer the worst manager in White Sox history!!!"

I was ok punting this season as the beginning of the rebuild. Signing a locker room full of "has beens and never will bes" was fine to let the kids develop in the minors. We are a whole 6 weeks into the season and it's time to bring up the kids?!? Thank God we hired Getz....... it would have taken a whole year for an outsider to learn how f'ed up this organization is and realized he'd have to scrap the whole thing and reboot. Why can't we have nice things???

Flush twice, it's a long way up to Jerry's suite.

At least we will get a great draft pick in the 1st round......... What?!? Wait?!? What?!?

Loosely translated it means "I am sooooooo f'ing over my head in this job I'm just making s%*# up to sound remotely competent. Clearly, I've failed with this quote, I'll do better next time".

Let's hope he passes his physical and the trade goes through

The Sox need to put Cease in bubble wrap and we all need to pray to whatever deity we believe in that he stays healthy and effective through July 31. There will be injuries and lack of performance by some contending teams and a few surprise teams that want to "go for it". Getz set his price and evidently didn't budge. That's fine for this cycle, but if we don't deal Cease by July 31, 2024 then he becomes a 1 year rental and the price goes way down.

Failing to trade everyone except Robert is malpractice. This team will lose 100+ next year with or without Cease. Get max value now.

I'm so sick of listening to JR and Getz talk about the talent on the team. We finished with 101 losses! Everyone except Robert and (maybe) Cease should be moved if we can get any value at all. And to them saying "we're just a couple players away from competing for the Central division", just stop it. The only 2 players we could add that would make us competitive are Ruth and Gehrig!

JR will never hire Ng and appear to be bowing to pressure..... or common sense. Getz isn't qualified to be Assistant GM let alone the GM AND VP of Baseball Ops. He led arguably the worst minor league system (by W/L record and lack of development) in baseball. That gets you PROMOTED in Jerryland. Getz got this job for 2 reasons...... he'll work cheap and do EXACTLY as Jerry commands.

Can't wait for SoxFest 2024!!!

Talk about utter dysfunction. The team loses 101 games and the only change will be to demote the bullpen coach. Everyone else was part of the Grifol idiocy, a pipeline to the owner (Boston), or tied to our new pitching guru (Katz). Once again, NOTHING changes in this organization until Jerry no longer owns the team.

Of course I was joking. If JR truly had his way, the broadcasters would be in a studio in Chicago (or better yet their basements) and use the opponents video feed

No radio broadcast today. JR consolidated announcers, did a simulcast, and saved on expenses.

White Sox
