Just embrace it. What a buffoon.

If there is the dreaded leadoff walk, what is it when you walk the first 3?

Nastrini back to back walks. Hard to believe.

Colas supposed lack of development is a pox on Getz previous role. As we know, this current stance shouldn’t surprise anyone. The White Sox always wait for their prospects to be totally ready before calling them up.

Can’t waste a year.

Either the Sox are stupid, or they hate Ramos so much, they are begging for Vargas to be a 3B.

Schriffen is going to be at Ultimate Fighting this week. he said the White Sox made a statement with yesterday's win. So clueless. Ultimate fighing, slamball, maybe the hot dog eating contest, a weekly college game... that is what he should be doing. Not MLB PBP for an unstacked team.

Funny thing is Amin was runner up to Jason for the Sox PBP job way back when.

I don’t understand this. Didn’t the Sox basically sign Pham to flip at the deadline? Now not paying him the last 2 months is great business? Wouldn’t they have been better off saving even more money and not signing him at all? I just read an article about the Dodgers stealing Kopech. The price was small, Vargas, and a couple of guys who may never get to AAA. And the Cardinals got Fedde for next year. And the Sox sent cash. Getz got pantsed. The organization didn’t improve…. Personally, I think JR is starting to remember the profits the team was making when they weren’t trying to win, and it appeals to him. It’s disgusting what this team has become. A national joke, a laughingstock. Ken Rosenthal called them a sad sack franchise. Where’s any fucking pride?

What makes it more impressive is he is coming off TJS. You would think that would give hope for even better results, especially with command , in the future.

If the Bears don’t get this stadium built with public funds, Chicago is going to fall behind as a city. I loved that BS. Super Bowl would be nice, but with the capacity they are looking at, it will be 1 Suoer Bowl. It will be 1 Final Four. What concerts is the city missing out on? Again, if this is such a great deal, and will be ultimately be a money printer, why not just build it yourself, and pocket the money? You have a plot of land. Starr building. Kevin Warren will untimely be known as a bad hire.

Clinched the worst record in baseball.

Remember when the Sox refused to give Rodon a qualifying offer? That was awesome.

He’s always a little off. With people going into the office only 2 or 3 times a week, a close proximity to the loop is offset a little bit as well. He still has the red line near. And Metra trains a lot closer than they are now for those not heading south. But one of his complaints is he never drew 3 million, and the capacity of this stadium is supposed to be 35000-38000. So he isn’t going to do it there either.

I mentioned this earlier. Moncada, if he rehabs, since you didn’t just let him go yet, let him play a bit. DH, 2B. Ramos shouldn’t be sitting. He should be playing 3B . Vargas isn’t a 3B,, Let him DH, LF, and 1B. Gavin Sheets shouldnt be part of the future unless the goal is utter mediocrity, which, considering JRs other franchise, is not out of the question.Sit his ass. Sit Nicky’s ass. Or just tell them to go away.

According to the people begging for public money, these are always a big money maker for the state or local government from which they are seeking funding. Makes you wonder why they wouldn’t just build it themselves and take in all that money. I guess it’s just their charitable sides.

It wasn’t designed to lose 100 games. That is the problem. The one thing you can build in MLB relatively cheaply if you know what you are doing, is a bullpen. No members of Chris Getz inaugural bullpen made it through one season with the team. White Sox pitching has a long ways to go, and it’s going to require some good breaks going the teams way. The hitting is so bad everyone thinks the pitching is fine ignoring the onky staff with a higher ERA is Colorado.

Shockingly he cleared waivers and was outrighted. He may be back soon. Another in the long line of weird fascinations the Sox have with some guys. Why are Nicky Lopez and Gavin Sheets playing and young guys riding pine?

Scherer was a major league scout. At least he was as of a year or so ago in an article I read. It seemed like they relied on the ex assistant hitting coach for their big deadline deal. I don’t know who recommended the players in the Cease deal, but if these were some of the guys, then Getz admits the return was short. I would have to think the Mena trade was all Barfield. I know 2 of them were responsible for Quintana coming to the White Sox. Looks to me it’s more a purge of KW lackeys.

Even his mother would have to admit Getz thought he put together a roster significantly better than worst of all time. I’m totally opposite of westeddy on this but if you go to the preseason prediction thread, we both picked the same record. We are going to be off by 30 games. I call it incompetence, he calls it bad luck.

Scouts don’t make much money. I said earlier they get McDonalds like pay. That is probably an exaggeration but not a huge one.

I’m not worried about it because I won’t drive there. I am just pointing out if that park gets built, the traffic around there and lack of parking will be the new Comiskey Park II upper deck.

II agree to a point. Anyone who thinks 1 guy can drop a team ERA 1 run is nuts. But he did show Davis Martin a new change up. If he uses that to become a solid #3 or #4 starter, Bannister has earned his paycheck this year. We will see.his impact with the guys they got for Cease, and whatever they get for Crochet and Robert. But you are right. To say pitching development is anywhere near fixed at this time is nuts.

Cubs fan are used to it. They have never had parking around Wrigley. It will be a complaint just like the current upper deck which is no higher than any other upper deck of parks built the last 50 or 60 years. Fans were shocked, and it's still an issue. Parking and traffic by the park, something the Dan Ryan has offset pretty well, will be a big issue. I'm with the hope JR builds it with his money crowd.
