Fastest team to 100 losses in the modern era? Yeah, fire his incompetent ass and launch the whole org into the sun…

1962 Mets and the 2003 Tigers lost 100 before September. Sox did it with a week left in August. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

The 1962 Mets lost #100 on 8/29. Their record on 8/25/62 was 33-97, and 33-98 after 131 games. So, kudos to the White Sox for besting that mark.

Who he hires, or who JR allows him to hire, should be of concern when dealing with the Sox level of ineptitude, be it an outside hire or not.

Because that GM is an incompetent boob in over his head?

This presumes that Getz is actually the decision maker and not merely a public facing middle manager following orders from above.

The most maddening thing is that there is no reason why the Chicago White Sox couldn't draft & develop MLB talent regularly while also carrying a $150M payroll and be in the postseason hunt year after year. JR is the sole roadblock. His chairmanship has destroyed the team, the org, and the fanbase; possibly irreparably.

For a brief, glimmering moment we experienced joy... until the sudden realization that the outcome was predetermined and nothing had changed.

Well done Jerry, you replaced a bad GM with an even worse and managed to sink your team 20 games deeper in the hole...

They could do it with a week left in August if they try hard enough.

Big picture, I need to know what MLB's end goal is with this. What are they hoping to achieve? Requiring pitchers to do something they aren't trained or conditioned for certainly isn't going to curtail injuries. So what does rule accomplish exactly?

This is my shocked face...

Throw a dart, you’ll likely find better…

The know-how is a prerequisite that continues to elude the org, by choice…

That 10 game lead sure was nice...

I can't image this would go over well with the MLBPA.

What the record for the earliest date hitting 100 losses? Asking for a fanbase...

At least make the lie believable FFS...

About a hundred games late there geniuses...

If he were ready for the show starting his clock might be of concern, but he is clearly not ready yet.

Yes, let's rush the kid who is clearly not ready for the bigs. Clearly Getz is a sound decision maker and no one should question his (lack of) GM acumen...

IDK, *NOT* Nicky Lopez leading off? This part. They all suck, I know, but in no world should Lopez hit above 8th, even on this historically bad team.

Sounds like a man ready to hang them up and ride off into the sunset. It would be a welcome change if Gordon Beckham weren't waiting in the wings...

Welp, there goes any inkling that Sizemore is smart about lineup construction, or that he has the autonomy to fill out his own lineup card...

I really don't understand your crusade to defend Getz. Most of the holdovers from the Hahn era have sucked, true, but so have most of Getz's moves to supposedly improve the 2024 roster. Both of these can be true. But to think that Getz bears no responsibility for where the 2024 White Sox are is absurd.
