Tnetennba Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Does 10 straight L’s in April do the trick? 12? 14 of 15? Where is the breaking point? I’m at the f*** it stage. Let it burn. Just please fire the dope who orchestrated this mess ASAP. Getz will probably suck ass, but doing nothing isn’t working. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point I want it to either all burn OR Liam Hendriks comes back and somehow him just yelling "f***" all day at people inspires the most miraculous turnaround in sports history.

DirtySox Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 (edited) Why would we want Getz as GM? Edited August 22, 2023 by DirtySox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has no say in who is drafted and little to no say in the hiring of coaches, trainers and medical staff. He's surrounded by incompetence and the pitchforks are out because he didn't turn chicken s%*# into chicken salad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold's Leg Lift Posted August 23, 2023 Author Share Posted August 23, 2023 Sorry I got pulled away. A few more thoughts on Chris Getz: He is a former player and has a better understanding how to build a baseball team better than Rick Hahn ever will. I don't think Chris Getz signs a giant turd like Mike Clevinger. I don't think Chris Getz would sign an aging horrific defensive catcher to the organizations largest contract (at the time) I don't think Chris Getz would sign a left fielder singles hitter to the organizations largest contract I don't think Chris Getz would play a 1B in the OF for multiple years I don't think Chris Getz would allocate so much money to the bullpen I don't think Chris Getz will completely ignore the importance of defense, baserunning and depth I don't think Chris Getz will fire successful scouts, trainers and medical staff and replace them with incompetent idiots I'm not saying Chris Getz is going to be a great GM but I'm more than willing to give him a chance to prove he can be a good GM one day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johno Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 if Chris Getz is the hire, i will be incredibly disappointed!!!! There has been few minor prospects getting developed on the farm. it’s time to start over!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quin Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 If it were to turn out that Harold is Chris Getz, that would make this the single greatest White Sox season from a drama standpoint. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 (edited) https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/mlb/tigers/2015/11/02/michigans-chris-getz-enjoys-royals-title-in-front-office-role/75066120/ Now I'm convinced...that it wouldn't work because they've assembled the anti-Royals in every possible way. No power...one thing in common! One had one of the very best bullpens historically in KC, one nearly the worst yet most expensive Clutch hitting versus whatever the Sox are with bases loaded Sox complete opposite of the best high contact/prototypical hit and run team Fundamentals driven vs. complete lack of fundamentals and execution Sox terrible at holding on and throwing out opposing runners...Royals much better Sox terrible to bad defensively...Royals with multiple Gold Glove winners and coaches like Rusty Kuntz that are defensive specialists Edited August 23, 2023 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 So the big case for Getz is… he hasn’t really done anything to distinguish himself in what he can control. And he hasn’t had control over a lot. But he should be the second most powerful man in the org anyway just because. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 (edited) Dan Fabian is probably the only one left with extensive Sox institutional knowledge and experience ... Dennis Gilbert would be another.

FT35 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 A great person, a great player, an ambassador-like personality, a White Sox connection—that’s all wonderful. However, it’s time they place a preference on bringing someone on who has a proven track record of turning losing franchises into winning ones. Show me only the candidates who have experience in accomplishing the goal we’re seeking to accomplish. We’re not looking for a new best friend, a great player, a familiar face—it’s time for a big dog who’s successfully done this before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very well-written, to say the least. Do you happen to have a copy of that? I would like to re-read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirmin' for Yermin Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Gota love status quo when status quo sucks. This is so lame. Will he be allowed to sign 100,000,000 contracts? Otherwise, who cares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
