Jose Abreu Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 His exit was as mysterious as his tenure. Guess we'll never know if he was responsible for a lot of the adjustments from guys like Sheets, Collins, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSoxFanMike Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 The Sox can't have an employee that contributes something positive to the organization. That's against the rules. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggins Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 honestly this team is as dumb as dysfunctional as the mets, we just don't live in NYC so it goes un-commented on 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have such low expectations until this team is sold and everyone gets fired. It's a shame. Love the players, pretty much despise everyone else. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be that lisle tangled with more old school coaches who didn't like to be told how to do their job by a rookie. Many baseball lifers have a big problem with guys like lisle, ochart or albert with no pro experience comining in and telling them how to do their job. Maybe in the sox org the traditionalists with tenure still have more power unlike the astros who fire old school coaches who don't comply. But then again maybe it was something else, I think this Johansen guy is still there so maybe it just didn't work with lisle. I read rumors his last college job didn't go well either, some of those "nerd coaches" are not easy to work with because they know that they are smart and let the old school guys feel it (kinda a bit arrogant sheldon cooper style, kyle boddy comes off like this too at least online).

It shouldn't matter if they're right, but that's not how it works in the real world. Sometimes you have to be a dick to get your point across and people have too fragile of an ego to ever admit that they are wrong. Nothing actually works like it's supposed to. People would rather fire a valuable employee than admit that they are wrong. Sad. Edited August 30, 2019 by Jack Parkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point no progress will occur until the grim reaper eventually cleans up shop. Just like the Hawks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just another occurrence that seems to keep things status quo instead of progressing forward 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
