Chicago White Sox Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 6 minutes ago, Y2Jimmy0 said: He’s likely quiet because he deals in logic. He thought it would be Hinch. Jerry Reinsdorf is cheap. Everyone knows it. I didn’t know he was a fucking coward too. Would Hinch cost more than La Russa? And is the coward thing him being afraid to hire a guy who cheated?

southsideirish71 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) Quote "This is an opportunity for us as an organization," Hahn said Monday. "Ultimately, I think the best candidate or the ideal candidate is going to be someone who has experience with a championship organization in recent years. Recent October experience with a championship organization would be ideal. But we're going to keep an open mind. "This is a team that should reasonably have championship aspirations. And I think, quite frankly, that we should be viewed as a very desirable landing spot for potential managers. ... We're a team that's poised to potentially go on an extended run here. So we're looking for that right fit that's going to be able to take us to that next step." How does any of this sound like a 76 year old man who hasnt managed in over 10 years. If this hire is made, Hahn didnt make it. And when he talks about how this was his guy in the presser, he is trying to keep his job.

Vote4Pedro Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 1 minute ago, fathom said: Honest question, how do you think Tony will mess this up? The Sox core should dictate their success, not the manager. The fact that analytics have run the game and the Whitesox are playing catch-up in that category as it is....we are moving backwards in time once again....he is in the camp with Ken Harrelson of the TWTW club. The fact that Tony hasn’t managed since 2011, rules have changed, the game has changed. Sitting in as an advisor is one thing being actively engaged in team operations is entirely another. This hiring is the exact opposite of what we were told was going to happen. Maybe im the only one who sees this but I think twitter reaction and others on here would agree with me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahn is on board. Stop assuming all moves made by the Sox that you dont like are made by someone else. Hahn doesn't exactly have a great track record evaluating managers. Ray, I really enjoy your contributions to the board, but you have no idea if Hahn is on board with a TLR hire. And based on what he said at his end of season press conference, he would not be on board with this hire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Chicago beat writers need to have the balls to ask these questions on why the sudden change or how TLR fits the description he gave just a couple weeks ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I think everyone is okay to be mad, just for me ... It’s still just a manager. I just don’t like the distraction from the rest of the team. But it will fade and he’ll just be a bad interview at the end of games we can ignore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pay better attention, kid. You guys really need to stop thinking hahn will ever tell the press anything meaningful. He tells you what you want to hear without actually saying anything. He mastered this lawyer speak years ago. Hahn will say an opportunity came up that he couldn't look past.

But the Sox time and time make the dumbest decisions and when they’re so close to breaking through nobody wants to see this crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he's the GM of a team who fired his manager and within 3 weeks is going to have a new manager hired. I know he's as involved with these decisions as anyone else and that constantly giving him the benefit of the doubt is nonsense. I know they did not formally interview bochy so I know hahns claims and talk was exactly that; hahn talk. He will claim 10 years is recent or he didnt want to give anything away. Hahn is not innocent in this. Period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect them to have more talent in the coming years. Also Tony has at least proven he knows how to lead his team to important victories. Ricky managed crucial games like he was still a tank commander. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Glad to see we absolutely wasted the rebuild to turn this into some Blues Brothers putting the band back together garbage.

I just dont want to deal with his pompous face and attitude everyday on TV and in interviews but the impact wont really mean shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
