But even the Chairman can't be watching this club and be impressed with how they look. They're frankly lucky to be .500, and look uninterested. A change in the clubhouse is sorely needed. Expand The team has a -26 run differential. Their record is far better than it should be. If the coaching is as bad as most people think and the players are all underperformed. What is the reason for the record being better than the performance? Is is truly just baseball luck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand We had a chance to sweep the DH yesterday which could have led to a sweep of the 5 game series, instead we got another one of TLR's inane lineups. Winning 3 out of the 5 against KC will feel more like a loss of the series, the Sox need to win tonight and tomorrow and go to NY on a little bit of a roll and 2 games over .500. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made the playoffs after a weird season with a new staff. I'll give them another chance. Expand Ricky didn’t even get one legitimate chance. He had two starting pitchers available in Oakland, one of whom couldn’t pitch four innings and who most here want gone. Hahn extended Ricky 60 games prior to firing him. Hahn’s two lineup 2020 lineup additions (Mazara and Encarnacion) sucked ass. Hahn gets GM of the year, and Ricky gets shanked, all for the same exact team performance. Jerry increased payroll by 50%, spent it on Tony and Ricks guys, brought in the first competent pitching coach in at least a decade (recruited by the player Jerry/Hahn screwed over for $50k this offseason), and the team has regressed the past two years. Tony was sold as being a far better strategic manager. The team would always be prepared. He would never be out managed. A beat writer had to explain to him the rules of the game. The team played with far more passion under Ricky. They never quit, Ricky never quit. Tony sleepwalks through games, his primary concern or action comes only when it comes to unwritten rules. 2021 and the first two months of 2022 was Tony’s second chance with the White Sox. And just like the first one, when he was correctly and thankfully shitcanned by Hawk Harrelson, the time has come to pull the plug on this debacle and attempt to salvage what remaining time is left with this core and season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
