southsider2k5 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Almost the exact same roster was 54-35 at the all star break last year. They were 46-46, or 9.5 games worse this year. This roster is not 10 games worse than last year talent wise, after basically no changes in the off season. This same roster has seen almost every single player put up a markedly worse performances except for a limited few individuals. While this might not be a World Champion roster, it is one that should be lapping the AL Central.

Expand Last year's team wasn't exactly a picture of health and, as noted above, the team from a talent perspective is more or less the same as last year (the terrible off season was failing to make the team better than last year).

ChiSox59 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Does a Cleveland curbstomping today incite some movement after the Sox looking like absolute trash all weekend, awful management and finishing our ultra important 19 games against the ALC 9-10?

Expand You were comparing first half last year with first half this year. Same basic team, same manager, much different results. The conclusion is it's the manager's fault. While I believe that's a great first step, I started this thread after all, but it hides too many other problems. This shit show is bigger than just TLR. It's a three legged stool with players, front office, and coaching staff. They all have regressed and are failing beyond what could be expected from one year. As you noted the players are putting up much worse numbers. I also seriously wonder if Tony is experiencing diminished mental function over the last year. Stroke? Dementia? It's a private matter with the team but I would hope a condition of his continued employment is a full medical workup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
