Dick Allen Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Getz was an obvious bad call to just about everyone but the White Sox. Can’t waste a year getting to wasting a decade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way that he should survive this train wreck of a season. He obviously cannot evaluate talent. Move on and try again....outside the damn organization this time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Any owner who had anything going for him would fire Grifol and Getz today. I have memories of some bad White Sox teams but absolutely nothing like this. Players have quit on this team. Players leave this team to make less elsewhere. This is the biggest joke played on fans. That is not a major league team out there. JR just doesn't have any credibility. No one can look at this situation and not recognize massive changes have to be made. Next year will be another 100-loss season. What is he going to tell fans then? They are rebuilding and it will take time? And even if this so-called rebuild works, how many fans will the team have left by then? 4? 5? Maybe one day the team will lose only 90. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Chris Getz is the worst GM in sports and deserves to be a scout for the TSG Hawks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Jerry has to clean house to have a chance to retain any fan support. If he doesn't, baseball will lose part of a generation in Chicago. Not every kid will become a Cub fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Chris Getz said his #1 priority this offseason was fixing the defense. We are currently ranked dead last in Fangraphs’ defensive value. At the same time, he’s managed to build the worst offense in baseball with a wRC+ 27% below league average. When you combine both offense and defense, our positional group has put up negative 5.9 fWAR this year. That’s 8.6 fWAR worse than the 29th team and 31.4 fWAR worse than the best team. Just playing a team full of AAAA dudes would theoretically result in a better team by six wins. I mean, if that shouldn’t get you fired, then I’m not sure what does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Just now, Y2Jimmy0 said: Getz has actually done multiple positive things. I’m not sure Grifol is actually good at anything. He's also done multiple negative things. At some point 27-88, an unfathomable record, needs some accountability. The whole place should be cleaned out. It won't obviously, but the inac tion so far is a middle finger to the fanbase. Hopefully, the fanbase gives it right back.Pedro is a premier brown nose. What he was saying about JR in the papers was beyond laughable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing Fedde was great (although I think the return on that trade is going to negate a lot of the good feelings there) and letting Crochet start (which Crochet was the one pushing for) was great. I genuinely can't think of anything else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter who the GM is as long as JR owns the team. They will not have the authority to sign a big free agent. It's going to be a perpetual cycle of aging vets, sub-par former potential stars, and youngsters. But, a competent manager could do something with a ragtag roster. Grifol is bad at his job. I do think with a better manager, this team is not in the situation there are now. No, I'm not saying they're significantly better, but they'd be in a position where players actually try. Miguel Vargas' face last night says it all. They are miserable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
