Vinnie Duber called him the Palatine Pounder on Twitter. I’m in.

Getz must be speaking now... Chuckmeister tweeting about things he is saying... Wants a RFer. Expects Montgomery to compete for job in spring...

While I wouldn't need guys ready to play on opening day, I also wouldn't love a package of 18 year olds if I could have my choice. It'd be nice to get guys in AA. At least then you can squint and see some type of core forming with two good AA prospects for Crochet, Montgomery, Quero, Schultz, Smith, Ramos... and then guys like Wolkow and Bonemer and others following a year or two later.

Other teams are trying to get Juan Soto. We are pining for some guy named Ben Rice.

I can't do another offseason where weird Orioles fans come here to post 3,000 times to tell us our SP is worth only like Jud Fabian. Please trade him quickly to Boston or someone else.

This would shock me. Like Y2J says, they already carry the new station's predecessor. How hard would it be to agree to new terms? Yeah because its not going to be a channel at all anymore. The thought of the majority of people needing to get the channel over the antenna is bonkers to me. That's just not how most people watch TV in 2024. Live sports is keeping old school TV and cable alive. How could there not be a deal in place for a channel showing 3 of the 5 professional teams in the 3rd largest market in the country?

In a completely non-snarky way.... I honestly have no idea what you are talking about.

I never said anything about being positive. I don't think anyone has. I'm talking about keeping discussions relevant to the topic and the volume and repetition of the same s%*# we have all heard a million times.

I never claimed to have the insight. I wanted to read a conversation about the thread topic, you know, like how a message board should work. Instead I get to read Getz/KC Royals and "he never should have been hired" comments for the 10,000th time. I have it all memorized. In about 2 more pages, we'll get all the rest of the classics... you'll talk about roster churn and panic and whitesox2023 will bring up how we missed out on Luke Keaschall. Then there will be 10 pages between you guys and westeddy arguing over whether Getz "should have known" Robert, Eloy, and Moncada would have all been injured at the same time at the start of the season... Someone will chime in to say Kopech is pitching well for the Dodgers. Caulfield will write a post in multiple font sizes referencing Jose Valentin, Ivan Caulderon, James Baldwin and Tyler Saladino. My favorite one is when half of you will argue Seby Zavala was bad and an indictment of Chris Getz' development ability but the other half will argue Getz fucked up by not bringing Seby Zavala back at minimum salary.

I clicked on this topic excitedly so I could read 6 pages of insight into the international scouting department. Instead, I got the same "Getz sucks" crap I've been seeing for 10 months. Should have known.

Why not put Benitendi on there?

I'm confused. This one feels like Getz plays Immaculate Grid and trying to get a bunch of random players ABs so he can beat his friends in his group text.

Who is that person?

I assume they took an MRI. Would be nice to get some detail on that, Merkin.

This board has devolved into 20 posters inventing fake reasons to be mad at a team that has a million real reasons to be mad at it.

Lol why is Getz turned away from Stone when he is responding to him? Its not that tight in the booth.

Beckham is legit good. He would be a great choice to take over. Unfortunately, the PBP man is a doofus.

Who would be a good choice for leadoff hitter? They all suck.

1. No one said anything about a single year. You said the position doesn't exist and it does. 2. Not following... someone can't have an opinion on a draft because you read a business/Malcolm Gladwell-esque book that said predictions are less accurate than people think?

Reminder: A couple months ago we had like a 10 page thread where people said trading some guy named Luis Rodriguez (that no one had ever heard of) for Corey Julks was a fireable offense for Getz. More recently, there are people jizzing over Luke Keaschall just because we didn't trade for him. In this thread, we have the same people that relentlessly mocked WestEddy for crediting the Sox with developing Seby Zavala's defense switch to praising Zavala's defensive value. Some are accusing Getz of forcing Rick Hahn and Kenny Williams (!) to hire Pedro Grifol while at the same time claiming Jerry picks all the managers. There are a million things to criticize the Sox about. Minor moves made by Chris Getz in his first 10 months as a GM in a season where he inherited a s%*# team and needed to cut payroll is pretty far down the list.

Rick Hahn always gets a pass. Every bad decision he made is reported to have been made against his will. He has great PR.

Why would the assistant GM be able to force the GM to hire a manager?

Its weird that they didn't announce the interim manager in the same press release. Typically it would be done at the same time, no? Does that mean its something outside the box and it will be a separate announcement? Or just weird white sox way of doing things?

I also love the idea of Dan Proft listeners clutching their pearls, demanding absolute civility, and holding a goofball local sportsradio producer to the highest standards of decorum.
