Good at bat from Robert despite the outcome.

There's no safer place to be employed.

??

Can't wait for Yaz's last game with the Sox....

You're better off finding something else that makes you happy. Seriously.

Bold statement, considering we have no idea what the constraints are on the front office staff, player development, and the minor league system. Given JR's history, I doubt there are many people out there that could do so... They are completely incapable of identifying and developing players, and that's because JR has never, ever invested in the minors or player development. He doesn't "believe" in it.

Sarcasm???

What a load of s%*#. Lol. Please don't speak about things you have no clue about.

Easier to move? Lol.

Disagreed.

Without a new owner, this will only kill the team off completely. Nobody is going to follow the White Sox if JR moves them, and good luck drawing new fans. It would be an utter disaster. There's no reason for a new owner to rebuild in a new city, either. The market is here, and where are you going to find a BETTER market?

What in the f*** is all this nonsense I am reading here about batting gloves?? Lmao.

Of course JR is not a problem for the White Sox(or the Bulls, lol). The same way Bill Wirtz wasn't a problem for the Blackhawks. And the Chicago Tribune wasn't a problem for the Cubs. Right.

Lol. Come on.

The Grifol comments were even worse. LOL. The White Sox are DOOMED.

Look at the guys that were traded out... I'm seeing guys that work their asses off, have worked through adversity, and are generally extremely competitive players. Apparently those are the guys the White Sox don't want around the team... You can't make this s%*# up. This entire press conference has basically been Hahn attempting to trash the guys they traded away, attack their credibility, etc. Oh, those guys were part of the problem, that's why we traded them. Nobody is buying your bullshit.

A veteran player publicly approaches management to ask to leave early, when the Sox still have a game to play, and he's the only backup... They tell him no, and he complains. In the open clubhouse. In front of teammates. He SHOULD be called out on it. It's ridiculous, and it shows how fucking rotten this organization is. The fact that he slapped TA and there were NO REPURCUSSIONS shows how fucked up the culture here is.

Rich Hahn is such a fucking clown. This guy is so over his head trying to run this team. He sounds like a guy running a little league baseball team. Just clueless. Absolutely clueless.

I get it. We all want to think things aren't as bad as they are, but they really are this bad. Likely much worse than we believe, actually. Because it's very rare for dirty laundry to be aired in the MLB. When it is, it's usually just a small piece of the puzzle.

Lol. The White Sox apparently have a player on the roster that has sleep issues, and their training staff encouraged him to sleep in the clubhouse? This s%*# is just insane. Like, if you have a professional athlete with that issue, address the fucking issue so he can sleep at night. Because he's certainly not operating at 100% if his issues are THAT bad.

Why would he be allowed to leave? The Sox had a game to play, and he was the second catcher... The all-star break starts when it starts for everyone. He made a comment in the interview that "the only thing I'm thinking about a day before the break is my lake house and spending time with my family, since I haven't spent enough time with them". What???

The truth is in the middle. Managerial and coaching styles must absolutely adapt to the times. You need structure, organization, accountability, rules, and consequences, for not following them. But you also need to allow the players freedom to be themselves and have fun. It's a balance. A balance the White Sox have absolutely no idea how to find. Maybe if they weren't trying to operate with 20-25% of the front office staff other organizations were, they wouldn't be such a clusterfuck.....?

What the hell is Grandal even talking about?

Ooooof.

Lol. Imagine how bad the culture must be for a veteran player to even THINK of asking to leave early for the break, when they still have a game to play. I mean....just mind blowing. Also, shut up Yaz. We aren't idiots.
