Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if Jerry extended Tony to avoid a lame duck 2023 season, like Hahn did with Ricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worry is that there really does seem to be something deeply wrong with this team. There honestly isn't the evidence to even back this claim up. The 2019 White Sox went 72-89 The 2020 White Sox went 35-25, managed by Rick Renteria, and lost in the first round of the playoffs in a COVID shortened season The 2021 White Sox went 93-69 but were 39-34 in the second half of that season, and got outclassed by Houston in the playoffs. The 2022 White Sox are 63-62 and played exactly .500 baseball in the first half of the season, going 46-46. They're 17-16 in the second half of this season thus far. Since the second half of 2021, the White Sox are 102-96. They've been a .500 team for 200 games. At what point do we stop looking at the first half of 2021 as the real White Sox, are realize this might be who they are? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahn should have just left when he said "mired in mediocrity." Who would have thunk that would be the definition of the product of the rebuild.

Ducksnort Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 If Stone leaves due to age and just being over it, and Benetti leaves due to getting better pay with national gigs and also being over it, I want to see a broacast duo of Pierzynski as the color guy and Pods calling play by play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie4Pres Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 TLR should be in a fucking home. He's not even speaking English. What a fucking embarrassment. What a disgrace that this is the guy managing the "championship window". Someone should be asking him if he smells burnt toast, because I think it's extremely likely he's had a stroke or two over the last year. Robert should not be playing. Period. Even if he can't hurt that wrist more, the number of other ways he can get hurt swinging the bat that way are innumerable. Holy shit. Fuck this organization. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wegner Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 I believe LaRussa just said there was nothing wrong with how we played tonight. We had a lot of hits. Ozzie in the studio said I don't understand what he's saying. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pods in the postgame said we have to rely on Cleveland to fall apart for the Sox to win it.
