I hope they over take Minnesota.

Can't they in future hire a GM and remove that role from Senior VP?

My take on this and I need to keep on the rose colored glasses to keep my sanity. KW never invested in player development. I'm not sure what Hahn ever knew about anything related to any aspect of life. He is the epitome of word salad. That being said, the brand of baseball the Royals played while Getz was there was solid and got them to two WS. He obviously has done nothing beneficial here but I will give him the benefit of the doubt. hopefully there is a solid model that he pitched to JR. Whatever he told JR he got him to fire two life long employees that were not even given the opportunity to depart on their own terms. You know those internal interviews JR was having, Getz nailed his for sure. The press conference needs to be two hours long and it needs to ask pertinent questions to appease the fans and the media. He needs to explain how he got the job and why he failed. He needs to address the player development, analytics and this horse s%*# offense. My guess it will be 30 minutes of bullshit answering nothing.

I'm getting caught up but he is selling to the highest bidder. If the offers are close then he certainly goes wit his shitty vison.

Everyone tries to schedule patsy. You need two to tango. I think Rice's new AD and HC don't have the connections at programs to come to an agreement. The conference schedule controls week 3-9 and home and away. Next year if Maine South and Marist are two year agreements. They could have 4 straight at home. Depends on how things play out. BR is a nice team but other then the JR LB I don't think they have real major talent but are a solid club.

Evans was Hahn pre-Hahn. Didn't want to play second fiddle to KW and left. Seems to have never really recovered and succeed like many other White Sox folks that find greener pastures. I recalled thinking I wanted him over KW.

The Sox would be best served in the west loop, that area is as good if not better then Lakeview or in a makeover of the Loop but then traffic would be an issue in the actual Loop. Baseball traffic is 15-50% of that of football so Soldier Field could be an option then ISBE builds Soldier Field on 35th and the Ryan.

The f'd up thing is other then Grandal this is the currently chosen core from day 1 of this season. Sure maybe Andrus was going to be become something he wasn't but in essence this is the lineup that you could have imagined for this season. And they suck, all of them, except Robert. I think this is what is killing me this season.

Not sure if that was the tweet but it is was similar that had a response that those three guys that are proving it's not a rebuild are a combined negative or barely positive. I hope Grifol is just a yes man and is not that big of an idiot.

The most spectacular stat of the Rick Hahn era is that the longest winning streak was 7 games and it happened once. The 0 and whatever when striking out 14+ batters is another example of how poorly constructed his rosters were. I don't care if he had free reign or not he was abysmal.

Anderson is an idiot but I guess it works.

I really want Elvis to stay hot so that Hahn can sign him again next April

Looks like they wanted to but Andrew was having no part of it. Who is calling pitches? Let's hang the slider.

I love that this team thinks Trayce Thompson is good. Proves how stupid they really are.

This is why they all need to go. I have been harping on this point for a while. Moving Benentendi out of lineup spot and now going with multiple innings and consecutive days with relievers shows Grifol and Katz really are idiots. The fact they cannot bring any bullpen arm that is serviceable should get Getz fired. Grifol lost this team in April, if he ever had it.

My stance on the White Sox is that they have a fixed budget and can do with it as they wish but are beholden to JR at he end of the day on major decisions. It is the mindset of KW and Hahn to spend their budget foolishly. I can't see JR being against building up a scouting and development department and losing out on the overpaid free agent. This feels like the JR model he has spoke about recently and would like. The Tampa and Baltimore models are what he wants. Hopefully he finds a baseball mind that sees it this way as well.

I don't buy the Rick Hahn resigning stuff. Did this start after TLR was hired or was this before when KW was stepping on him for the 9 years prior. If this was over the last two years, I give JR credit, Hahn made this mess and in the end both he and KW were held accountable. If Hahn resigns after last year he can blame it on TLR and moves he was not allowed to make and 2020 and 2021 were just the beginning. After this season he isn't getting a GM job again any time soon and may not get a job in baseball at all. Why didn't either resign or agree to resign at the end of this season when they could leave gracefully. They are both fired rather publicly in the dog days of summer when the baseball news cycle can use a little heat. This doesn't add up. If KW is the man in charge why isn't he just pushed aside then Hahn can take over? If Hahn wanted a another job why not look for one and not hang around answering to KW for 12 years. They were both fired mid season after all of the years together. I would have thought KW would have at least gotten the John Paxson treatment or retired.

I don't think Soldier Field is more of a nightmare then Wrigley Field. Chicago losing the Bears and White Sox in the frame of 2 years is a lot of entertainment dollars. How a sportsbook in Chicago is not tied to one of them is insane. It's too bad there are no big thinkers in Chicago any longer and everyone is just trying to make the CTU happy.

Doesn't Reinsdorf own all of the land that Comiskey Park is located on. What if that was the land that the Bears wanted to take to build their dome and the White Sox moved to the lake front on the land where old McCormick is located. Build a nice 32K seat stadium down there.

He is loyal to the lap dogs. He uses the carrot mentality with everyone especially younger players to lock them in and then let's them walk. Pippen is the prime example. How is Jordan treated the way he is. The amount of money he has made Reinsdorf is insane. He has become a master puppeteer of sheeple like myself.

He will go 0-12 in this series, that's just how things work with your Chicago White Sox.

Grifol could be the dumbest most incompetent mfer I've even seen. For months guys couldn't be used on back to back nights but hey now let's over use guys. I like the thought today but why move to this strategy now?

How does Bummer not catch the DP ball?

I'm on delay and I know the offense ...why the f*** does moncada bat 4th. Madrigal just turned the game around. God Bummer us soft.

I think the injury around that time was the larger issue. His offfield idiocy is localized at this point. He finishes strong I think he opts out.
