WhiteSox2023

Nothing, he was nice about the Sox. SS2K5 made a joke that Pham is just keeping his options open with the Sox for next year, since he’s so old and a job was tough for him to find this season.

The Dodgers are a much smarter organization than the Sox and they were fine dumping him. Also, he has looked terrible for almost a full season of at plate appearances in his career and that has continued on to the Sox. You wouldn’t have rather acquired the Twins prospect, Luke Keaschall? I know I would have. What a shame…

Do you disagree with all the prospect publications who had Miguel Vargas as a top 50 prospect in baseball? Haha, it doesn’t always pan out like they predict unfortunately.

“Jerry’s Cheapskate Strawberry Shake”, made with strawberry Kool-Aid powder, powdered milk, vanilla extract, sugar, and ice. It will be half the price of the $15 dollar Campfire Milkshake because as Kenny always said, you can’t spend a dollar if you only have 50 cents!

He’s improving but he has also bad two seasons in a row. Burger has not been bad for two seasons in a row and also isn’t earning $16.5 million dollars a year. I would expect a player who received the highest contract ever given out by the White Sox to at least put up an average performance or higher. Benintendi hasn’t even been close. Not really a good comparison.

He’s hitting better than Robert. It’s pathetic. I do think it’s funny that the Sox traded away Burger who can hit home runs but has no glove last trade deadline and then acquired a guy who can’t hit at all and can’t play defense this trade deadline in Vargas.

You acknowledged that he likely has TJ surgery in his future. His fastball is already very low velocity. Thorpe losing a couple ticks off of his already low velocity fastball after TJ surgery is the equivalent of an asteroid hitting the earth?

Yeah, we traded a top starting pitcher trade target on a cheap contract for a bust castoff that can’t play defense that the Dodgers didn’t want.

He’s on an absolute tear lately and would definitely be our best hitter. Yes, I know that isn’t saying much. But let’s how he finishes the season after a terribly slow start to it.

Wait until the end of the season. He’s bringing his numbers back up to last year’s.

Remember when some posters were so sure that the Sox would spend in free agency with how much money was coming off the books via departures? Oops…

And what if he doesn’t get back his fastball to top off at 93 MPH after the eventual TJ surgery?

The Score guys hypothesized that this is why they didn’t have all the moves listed in the initial press release that Grifol was fired. They thought the Sox weren’t sure who the interim manager would be. They guessed that the Sox initially asked Montoyo to be the interim manager but he either turned it down or asked for more money to take on a team that could set the record for worse season record, which is why they pivoted to Sizemore.

LOL, what have the Sox gotten right in ages? How could you possibly be surprised by this current reaction? Getz is now selling the fact that he will likely acquire a manager from outside of the Sox organization. This is hilarious considering HIS CURRENT ROLE AS GM should have been filled from someone outside of the Sox organization! I guess the Sox were a year too late on this hiring from outside strategy, as we might actually have a competent GM right now rather than an unqualified loyal to Jerry lap dog. His offseason was a failure. His trade deadline was a failure. His entire season was a failure, and he may set the season record for futility. And here you are, mocking anyone who doubts and questions this absolute failure of a GM. Amazing.

The Sox traded for a bust player without a position with their third best trade chip on the advice of a coach they just fired. This organization is dysfunctional and needs to be cleaned out entirely.

Progress?!?

He dressed down due to his nerves. Take a look at how much Getz is sweating in that video, while spouting out all of that BS. Now he may need up to 5 years to figure out the roster.

LOL, this team is ridiculous. Yes, this may be the right strategy FINALLY, but there is no hard and fast rule that a good manager has to have worked/played for the Sox, or now has to have worked/played for a team other than the Sox. JR and Getz are an absolute joke. They may as well use a Ouija Board to select the next manager.

I thought one of the big plusses to hiring Getz as the new GM was because he could assess the problems with the team quickly? Now he is saying it takes a thorough process and may take up to 5 years of work?

So the Sox fired the guy who recommended trading for Vargas, rather than taking the good Twins 2B/CF prospect? Astonishingly stupid. But I guess this is the same org that let Hahn and Kenny run last year’s trade deadline, only to fire them both less than a month later.

The right thing to do — “We will perform a long process of interviews with all of the best available candidates at the end of the season.” Oh wait, no. We already know who our guy is. This organization is such a freaking joke.

It is a bit strange. A team typically has a plan to fire their manager and also makes the decision on who will be the interim manager before they announce it. This should have been thought up and decided weeks in advance.

The Score is already ripping the Sox on how they didn’t even announce an interim manager in the “Grifol dismissed” press release.

Getz next? ??

A huge improvement. Bring him on! ?
