I’m already one foot out the door. The only way I’ll remain a Sox fan is if Jerry dies in the next 4 months or they fire Pedro before the ASB. Outside of that, I will “find a new nation.”

Lee going down for Stassi and Ramos for Moncada is going to be epic.

How’s it taste?

It rarely happens but I actually find myself to be disappointed when I check scores and the Sox win on a given day.

I’m not gonna lie…I tune in for AV and Maldonado ABs like I did for Sosa, Bonds, Frank, and McGwire during the HR chase. This time it’s like watching a train wreck in slow motion and it’s oddly satisfying every time they wildly wave at a pitch and miss by 8 inches…

This is why I think they almost don’t have a choice to but to fire him. A bunch of young guys are giving very measured and level responses. Meanwhile your manager says he’s doubling down. He’s literally more immature than the players in their mid 20s.

Just saw the pregame comments from Lopez and Sheets ???. If they don’t get rid of Pedro this clubhouse is going to get very bad, very soon.

3 hits in an inning with no runs is the most 2024 White Sox thing ever

He could maybe, just maybe, stop throwing young guys under the bus to the media while continuing to let vets wander around the field lackadaisically without a single critique? Just a thought. Maybe stop pitching Kopech in the 8th? Maybe stop hitting AV 2,3, or 4? Maybe stop playing Maldonado? Maybe stop playing Benintendi? Maybe open the door to his office? Crazy ideas.

Guarantee Maldonado starts tomorrow.

Fucking guy wants to talk about making adjustments but had TA near the top of the order almost all last season and insists on hitting Vaughn there this season…

It’s a bunch of young guys and AAAA players, it’s the coaching staffs fucking job to help them make adjustments. If only the former Director of Player Development wasn’t watching from a skybox as the GM. What a piss poor organization.

Teams also don’t want to piss away a competitive window by hiring the owners 76 year old buddy the day after he gets a DUI. Most teams also wouldn’t follow that up by hiring a completely unqualified and incompetent GM without a single interview and hire a guy to manage who was passed over by his own poverty organization for two managerial openings. Yet here we are…

They have to trade him at some point. Depending on the next few seasons, he likely gets a $200m+ deal if he goes to FA and we know Jerry won’t pay that so might as well get something in return.

You honestly think Getz is going to “fleece” anyone? He’s the most incapable GM in the league.

Just got the no hitter alert. Today could be the day!

Reportedly he has a 3 year deal which means he’s likely here through the rest of the season. I will be zero percent surprised if he’s the manager on opening day next season before getting jettisoned around the ASB. Jerry isn’t going to pay two people to manage a 100 loss team.

Dude he is one of the worst managers in LEAGUE history. I know JR is a shitty owner, but making, perhaps, the worst GM and Manager hired in history in the middle of what was supposed to be a competitive window is wild.

This is why he needs fired. They’ve lost so many games in the past season and so far this year that the manager legit doesn’t mind losing anymore. If that takes hold in the locker room (it has), it is completely toxic for any young player.

Cant wait for Pedro to talk about Beni “starting to turn it around” in the post game while lobbing Lee and Fletcher under the bus.

I am fairly confident that Grifol has a job through the end of the season and, likely, at least into next season for a few month, but how bad does it have to get before even a person as stubbornly obtuse as Jerry has to make a change? The guy is the anti-thesis of what you want for a rebuilding franchise. He has zero feel for the game, no idea how to manage a pitching staff, continues to put out mind-numbing lineups, and appears to have completely lost the locker room. That is a completely toxic environment for any young player to be trapped in for a full season. The worst offense may be that he continues to throw young players under the bus for silly mistakes but then says Beni is a “pillar” in the lineup and he keeps throwing out a 37 year old catcher with a sub .300 ops that can’t frame, block, or throw, because he like the way he “puts the fingers down.” I know the Sox have had a lot of bad managers, but Pedro is the worst manager that I can recall in all of MLB during my lifetime.

No s%*#. What a condescending fucking prick.

Deloach seems to be doing well at AAA. Put Sheets at 1b. Colas hasn’t done well this season or last but it at least improves the defense if it allows you to get Sheets out of RF.

I know there isn’t an actual answer but how the f*** can you possibly justify AV at 3?

Vaughn is batting 3rd? WTF.
