kitekrazy Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 So when a team is bad you replace the manager. When your pen is even worse than top AA farms you keep the pitching coach. Katz is the new Daryl Boston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't make chicken salad out of chicken s%*# can you? Not completely defending him but that is a lot of hot garbage in the bullpen which is partially why they have taken a lead into the 7th inning or later 24 times now...and lost the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is like one or two guys out there who have the actual talent to be in a major league bullpen. The rest are doing exactly what they should be doing, and I can't hold that against a pitching coach. Brebbia has underperformed for sure, and so has Wilson. Sounds like Wilson is probably hurt, so really John Brebbia is the only black mark, and with as volatile as a bullpen is from year to year, I would cancel out Brebs with Tanner Banks sucess and call it a wash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note: I am saying this with tongue in cheek to highlight how people got excited too quick. I got no beef with Grady. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rounding_Third Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 (edited) The hope for a White Sox comeback begins 5 years after JR has passed and Getz is fired. Until both things happen, the Sox will NEVER see .500. And even that's no guarantee. Go Bears! Go Hawks!

Agreed! I've been a Sox fan longer than most alive and have never experienced this kind of disgusting & diabolical operation of a sports entity. I'm not even aware that its ever existed to this magnitude. The only similar experience was the Arthur & Bill Wirtz Blackhawks. This is much, much worse as is Reinsdorf though they were all chiseled from the same heartless mold. Their only true love is greedy & miserly wealth. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 The white Sox now have -5.2 fWAR from position players. I believe this is the worst ever and will finish as the worst ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteSox2023 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Wait, one more… The Red Sox just released 1B Dominic Smith. He’d be our best hitter by OPS before Vaughn. 278 PA .237 AVG .317 OBP .390 SLG .707 OPS 6 HR 34 RBI 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
