Orlando Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Between this and Bob’s article, it’s pretty safe to assume that Cora won’t get the job. It has to be Hinch. Everyone is hinting at him and he is the only candidate (besides La Russa) that hasn’t been shot down one way or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its really a shame because I've really made some good suggestions about improving the White Sox but like I said he doesn't respond to my letters anymore. When he used to respond - what was his response? I'm curious whether Jerry truly responded or if one of his handlers did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capital G Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 us losing game 3, if we play this well, may be a blessing. lets be honest, had we gotten by Hou no way we beat the Rays. if we won game 3 and lost to hou or TB I have a feeling RR and Coop stay. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cora probably won't get the job because he was the ring leader of the cheating. Hinch can argue he was a much lesser influence on the cheating and did not agree with it. Which makes him wrong for not manning the ship, but i think the GM was in on it as well, so his hands were tied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) It wouldn't surprise me if the Sox already have an agreement with Hinch but can't announce it because of his suspension and have to fake interview a couple of minority candidates. Things were just too telegraphed towards him yesterday. Edited October 13, 2020 by Dick Allen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this. They could have been forgiven for blowing the division if they proved to be successful in the playoffs, which are more important. Houston would have beaten us in 4, but I think the narrative would have changed with a playoff series victory. I do think Hahn wanted Ricky gone based on how Stone was talking. He just couldn't fire him if we were too successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is sorta what I thought yesterday too. No chance that RH contacted Hinch directly, but I'm near certain that the mutual interest has been communicated by both sides through some convoluted game of Telephone.

I'm curious whether Jerry truly responded or if one of his handlers did. It depended on the subject. He sometimes responded and other times Rob Gallas responded. The last few years I haven't received any type of response from him. Whenever possible I will continue to write him. Hopefully i will get a response.

We saw way too many decisions this year that were clearly based on gut and completely back-fired. And if we saw it, you know Hahn & KW saw it as well.

It’s a total change of the guard from the Sox FO, finally embracing data and the state of baseball in 2020, and wanting a coaching staff that feels the same way. Means we should also stop even thinking about Bochy. All signs point to Hinch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the last 2 drafts supports that theory . Do you agree? The direction of this franchise is a breath of fresh air and very exciting in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 The fact McCann never faced Berrios this season probably cemented it as much as anything. At some point in late September Grandal should have been moved to full time DH and McCann every day catcher and Collins should have been brought up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t like Ricky all that much from a on-field standpoint even before then, but bringing in Ruiz and then Rodon in critical games was the final straw. It was some of the worst managing I have ever seen, it’s like he was trying to lose his job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
