PaleAleSox Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Just now, WestEddy said: His job was assistant GM. His bosses made the calls. It's like some people have never had awful bosses that you had to go along with. I'm not saying Chris Getz is going to be good, but blaming anything on him with the last regime is tough for me to do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention, how many GM jobs are out there open for franchises that are in great shape? If they guy at the top is getting fired, it is because the franchise isn't good enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Just now, WhiteSox2023 said: They shouldn’t have even been signed to one-year contracts. They are bad bench players starting for a major league baseball team. It’s an embarrassment. Are you saying Martin Maldonado is a bad baseball player? How dare you. I mean, all statistical data, the eye test, gauging Astro fans, and common sense would have told you that giving him $4M was a moronic move that not even a first year GM would be stupid enough to do. But how dare you. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSox2023 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Does Getz have a brother? I’m convinced Harold is related to him at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Crochet was great, but other than that this game was boring. The Sox announcer, whatever his name is, seemed thrilled at the attendance. Wondered if the Sox anticipated a bad crowd. No runners past first. One of the three hits in the infield. I was on the edge of my seat. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Crochet is a huge positive. Deivi Garcia looked quite good. This year is all about identifying actual assets and churning the rest of the roster. This game will not be the low point of the season. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how dare you. It’s like the movie “Major League” but signing all the rejects for more money than they are worth instead of acquiring them cheaply. I had to mute the TV after Stone called Maldonado a “wizard defensively” behind the plate. Edited March 28 by WhiteSox2023 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive. But this single start also may show how stupid the Sox were to make him a reliever right out of the gate. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSox Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 11 minutes ago, Harold's Leg Lift said: I don;t think it was his plan to inherit a dumpster fire bereft of talent. He's really the first GM since Himes that inherited an absolute mess; and even that wasn't a mess like this mess (this is closer to what Roland Hemond inherited). I do think that people would feel better if had he brought in a serious manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been calling for moving Crochet to the starting rotation for years but crowing about one good start against a trash offense is also pretty funny. Hopefully he stays healthy because he’s the only good arm the Sox have in the rotation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
