almagest Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Part of me wants them to call it and get it over with, part of me wants it to drag out as long as possible so the Sox have to sit there and stare at that lopsided score and think about what they did. Hopefully Eloy coming back sparks this team because I have no clue what else will work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOFHurt35 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I hope this rain delay goes for 2+ hours and makes these fuckers sit through it as punishment. Be miserable like we are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A comment I heard from a non fan is why make your team worse in this division. It makes sense. I know there's a lot of kneejerk reactions. The worst kneejerk reaction was hiring Tony. They get it wrong hiring no managers with experience and they got it wrong hiring a manager with experience. I don't think this was Hahn's choice.

I can now go onto something else I’m sure someone is giving an inspired, Jason Hayward-esque speech for when the game resumes. My guess - TLR. Comeback’s all but guaranteed.

southsideirish71 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 https://soxmachine.com/futuresox/infield-coordinator-ryan-newman-talks-white-sox-prospects/ I have zero faith that this is being done correctly. Some teams hire fielding gurus to do this. We move coaches around to see if they stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's not a younger guy like Jirschele but another TLR or Sox insider loyalist crony the fan base will revolt...by becoming even more apathetic.

A very solipsistic view but one I'm sure is shared by quite a few people around 30-50. I honestly can't remember a team that I disliked more over the last almost 25 years. There just aren't many baseball players on this team. There are a bunch of athletes that are larping as baseball players and have the baseball IQ of a tree root. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brijames1957 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I'm 64 and have seen a LOT of bad White Sox baseball. But this season might be the most disappointing/frustrating/disgusting of them all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they over achieve or underachieve? White flag year when Lamont used callups to pitch to Cleveland. Ruffcorn was a bust but no conditions for big league success when you faced the Indians. Dislike for ownership probably began with Sportsvision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjusttyped Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Whoever the next manager is, I just hope it's someone with 0 connection to the White Sox. This entire organization desperately needs an influx of new voices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
