Liam is clearly pitching through pain. He looks like he's about to explode after every pitch.

Liam not looking so good in a back to back game.

It's either retain him or trade Vaughn. It really makes no sense to trade Vaughn since he's got 4 years of cheap control left and is 10+ years younger. Jose will still be a decent player for another year or two, but the money can be spent better elsewhere.

A lot of the moves recently definitely had TLR's involvement. Just look at how many guys we've acquired recently that used to play for LaRussa - Lynn, Kelly, Pollock, and Lamb.

That's true. I don't think either of those guys should get a chance to be an OFer in the future. Sheets has improved, but I don't think he has the speed and athletic ability to play out there. Same with Vaughn.

Hard to blame pitchers for not trusting our fielders cause they do indeed suck. But you can't be a winning team and have that kind of mentality.

Sounds like he meant it's his opinion. He didn't get it from Rick Hahn lol

Get ready for some penny pinching.

Sheets should be a guy they platoon at DH/1B. Hopefully, neither of them should see OF work ever again unless it's an emergency.

Speaking of Sheets... His defense has actually gotten much better. He's still not good, but his OAA/DRS numbers actually don't look disastrous. If you wanted to see disastrous, look at Andrew Vaughn's fielding numbers.

Hahn basically saying if he were in charge, he'd fire himself.

Constantly posting about firing yourself would be something else.

Hahn saying they need to go back to the offensive approach they had before. Looks like trying to hit singles instead of power is off the table.

Yeah, we dodged a bullet there. That first loss to Cleveland was completely on Cairo.

Seems like Hahn wants someone from outside the White Sox family tree pretty badly. They want an "outside perspective". At least they figured out they're not very good at this.

I'm pretty sure Cardinals fans hated him lol

Hahn thinks the hiring process should take a few weeks.

The fact Shildt got the boot after the Cardinals went on a huge hot streak last year speaks volumes about why he shouldn't be hired.

Well, what sucks is that Rick Hahn is definitely staying as GM. Ugh.

Yeah, I just realized that after the fact lol

Hahn's wants for manager: 1. Managed recently, has managed on championship teams 2. Good communicator 3. Someone who understands modern baseball 4. Connection with the Sox not needed 5. Cairo will get an interview

The players showed up when they didn't have to. So yeah, they would have kept him.

Not sure if it's the camera or what, but Hahn looks like he just had a nice cry.

Is that Herm Schneider sitting by all the players?

Oh, Rick Hahn's in this?
