Also a non zero chance that they could set the loss record one year after setting the loss record. They won’t have the services of Moncada at all, Crochet may be gone, Roberts may be gone.

They haven’t had an outside GM since Ron Schueler, who built a top notch minor league system. He must have convinced Reinsdorf of something.

Seems that it’s something anyone else could do better and more efficiently.

I don’t think he was griping about it.

They have been free for a long time.

Never should have been hired in the first place and he hired a guy who had never managed before so the book is still out on him. Easy to buy out Moncada when JR is cutting costs. What else has he done? Getz still blows. Fire him.

Scherzer and Verlander have won three Cy Young awards a piece. Only four pitchers have won more. WTF?

Agree with what you say but it sucks. You’re going to see guys with 150 wins and no shutouts in the Hall of Fame and nobody will be able to figure out why unless they have a computer in front of them. I hate how the pitching game has evolved. One of my best memories was Jack Morris and John Smoltz in Game 7, 0-0 in the tenth inning. Something that will never, ever happen again. No memorable games. “Hey remember we saw that pitcher’s duel with four guys from the home team and three from the visiting team? That was great.” Ugh. You are 100% right, it just sucks.

I guess I’ve just blacked out on Cole after 2019 World Series.

My bad. Maybe he is in then. I didn’t know he won last year. I remembered Verlander beating him out a couple years ago.

I’m not sure Gerrit Cole is in. He’s never won a Cy Young has he? He’s been a good pitcher. Not Hall of Fame.

This is an argument for kicking Santo out, which I wholeheartedly endorse.

Santo shouldn’t be in either

Tommy John - yes Dick Allen - no (Also Dave Parker - yes)

If they were going to take a long time couldn't they have done a real GM search instead of bumping up the guy that failed at development? I thought the entire point of this clown was to not take a long time. Fans don't owe Getz or even the organization in general their allegiance. I suspect a lot will be gone if and when they improve not to mention a generation of youngsters who will never grow up as Sox fans.

Of course dumping failure all on Getz does not leave open the possibility that Venable is not the real deal.

Lack of hustle is not a physical error. It’s called laziness. Judge did not make an error due to laziness, not nearly close to Vaughn lolligagging it. Also who made the claim everyone sees it through my eyes. You want to make the claim Vaughn was busting his rear end on that play go ahead.

Do other teams try so hard to show their one trophy 20 years later? Do you see the Diamondbacks or Marlins trophies in their introductory videos? Serious question.

Where’s @Jack Parkman been? He knew Kopech stats inside and out.

It’s not what he believes! It’s what he says the new coach could say and be plausibly believable.

They lost 121 games. Shouldn’t be too hard to find one.

So the editor muted the last two characters but not the first word?

You know he was responding to “What else is he supposed to say” don’t you? Why else would he put it in quotes?

Yeah but we also witnessed crap like the hustling Cleveland batter beating a lolligagging Andrew Vaughn to first base. There was zero energy.

Sounds like he will be a good drinking buddy for LaRussa.
