Expand So basically the entire organization is a California wildfire right now, great news!!!!! As if we don't already have enough problems surrounding the team. Well, Stone and Chip went there once with the Cubs, highly doubt Benetti is willing to stick his neck out to get it chopped off, maybe Stone's looking for a way out of the Sox booth and this is his way of nudging that door open a crack. But who REALLY knows what's going on behind the scenes? James Fegan? Joe Cowley, lol? Spymaster Cooper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSox Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) I'd say his answer was pretty direct; and I don't believe that Stone would leave himself hanging out to dry in front of his bosses.

Dick Allen Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 He does like to be snarky, so I am sure if he doesn’t want to admit he isn’t a fan of Renterias managing, and he has questioned bunts especially many times, he can always fall back on the question was too stupid to answer. The White Sox don’t believe in spending money on managers, so when he is replaced, it won’t be by a big name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitekrazy Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Usually when I watch it's listening to opposing announcers. There's been a few times they have questioned his judgement, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today, he said that Goldschmidt is the best player in the Cardinals lineup and letting him beat you shouldn't be in the game plan. It was subtle but hit as he intended for those paying attention. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostfan Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 This reminds me of when he ended his broadcast career with the Cubs, although he was way more direct back then than he's being right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have mentioned, he gets a lot of tweets, certainly doesn’t respond to all of them. For him to decide to acknowledge that tweet....and to give that response is pretty bold. I don’t think it means Ricky is out tomorrow or anything, but again...very surprising. Expand If they don't clean up against the Tigers, Royals and Pirates, Jirschele needs to get a chance.

ron883 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 I can see this sparking controversy soon. Is the org more loyal to Stone or Ricky? The fans obviously like Stone much more. I think Renteria is done after this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Line Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 The White Sox don't fire managers. Its what they (dont) do, even when their managers quit on the team. I especially cannot see it happening in the middle of a shortened season where the team is .500. Would love to be wrong about that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
