I guess man but unless he has another job lined up it's pretty hard to just walk away from a 7 figure position even if you did just get your balls chopped off.

I don't know why he continues to work in Chicago honestly. He's got a job for life working for Jerry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"It was believed" is as close to an all caps "JERRY DID IT" as his lawyerly language and organizational constraints will allow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxfan49 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 If I heard right, Hahn said "it's believed that Tony is the right guy." Not *I* believed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sin city sox fan Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 If Hahn isn’t smart enough to believe this is a great move that gives us the best chance to win, maybe he shouldn’t be the GM. I believe he’s fully onboard though and realizes this hire is a slam dunk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason JR was good with firing Ricky was because he already picked out Tony. Nothing really changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 1 minute ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: Like what? Well - for one he used experiments around moving the pitcher out of the 9 hole - because he didn't think the data would make sense that you want your worst hitter being transitioned to the best part of your lineup, that your run production might be better off with the pitcher hitting 8 so that you had a more likely transition to your best batters. I don't know whether it was right or not - but that wasn't just a pure gut decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
