Forcing starting pitchers to go 6 innings would be an interesting balance to this.

At least Kenny could scout in his day.

Again, since the start of the divisional playoffs structure, there has been almost 100 seasons where a team lost 100 or more games. Plenty of those seasons have had mass firings, incompetent ownership, player injuries, and idiots taking over jobs and still NONE of them managed to fall to more than 120 wins the next season. Pretending this was some inevitable step in rebuilding is an absurd afront to the fans, and frankly insulting. Fans have earned the right to be mad, and will be until things like results actually change.

He's still learning some of the throws he go away with in college that he can't in the NFL. When you see some of the throws he is executing, you know he will be fine.

More like "shared" from the "owner"

Mistrust AND no effort to bridge it.

And then pretending that the fans don't deserve to know what they are doing better or differently is the most Jerry thing ever. Shut up and buy tickets, otherwise you don't matter.

I am of the opinion that being the worst in history does matter. A lot of teams rebuild. None of them have ever lost 121 times.

This is patently false. There was an entire article after the immaculate inning where Kopech said the Sox had been telling him this forever but he hadn't listened. The staff was fine here. Kopech refused to listen.

This was the worst season in the history of baseball in terms of losses. I would call that a pretty clear sign of the quality of the GM, manager, or anyone else connected to this organization. Your hyperventilating over people not being positive after a 121 loss season continues to be almost fake in it's persistence plus indignation.

If Getz isn't getting into the clubhouse of a 121 loss team before, during, and after firing people he is an even bigger idiot than his early trade returns indicate he is.

Much like a politician in a debate, he heard it and turned it into what he actually wanted to answer.

Or 2026. Or 2027. Or 2028. Oh, wait..

I might care some, but most of these guys will be gone soon anyway. Besides we have Jerry and Tony to listen to.

Except the Sox are more of an F.

This is a quality boomer joke

He fired everyone but his cronies and literally nothing changed.

Such a franchise crippling deal.

They were 10-1 before clinching the playoffs and tanked the last two games.

Both teams made the playoffs because they beat the Sox so many times.

You cannot beat Tatis. That might be the worst trade in the history of the franchise, and on the Mt Rushmore of MLB.

I do think it would be interesting to see if he is able to do something to keep the main players healthy in the 2021/22 range. I think the rebuild was salvageable at that point if you don't ruin your stars. Keep the core from destructing, and it is easier to see fan engagement staying up, spending staying up, etc. It is a tough counterfactural to run in 2024 after the worst team in MLB history just finished, but maybe a butterfly flapping his wings instead of a washed up drunk changes the health of guys like TA, Yoan and Eloy, which changes the entire complexion of this franchise.

In 2024 the Chicago White Sox had the highest payroll in the AL Central.

A manager matters, but not 21 wins.
