Lip Man 1 Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Good story that outlines how badly things have gone over the last decade plus: https://chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/2024/06/01/white-sox-15-44-feed-off-anything-we-can-get-from-fans-which-is-mostly-discontent-as-season-unravels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach defense has been horrible. That lazy tag was pathetic. The throw although high beat the runner by three feet. Zach should have blocked the base.

It is incomprehensive that Grifol has not been fired after such bad start with only 15 wins into June. The loss tonight threw Crochet under the bus. The Sox need a change now. Going back to the well with Grifol does nor work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 It’s honestly so insulting that Grifol hasn’t been fired yet. More passionate fan bases would be rioting if their owner let the team just go to crap like Reinsdorf has. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More passionate fan bases would be rioting if their owner let the team just go to crap like Reinsdorf has. I think overall Sox fans are angry, upset and frustrated but they realize JR is not going to change a damn thing at his age plus the fact that he's still making money. There's nothing they can do until new ownership arrives but many of them are simply not caring at this time which is dangerous. Angry, upset, frustrated fans still care...those that don't care anymore are apathetic and no guarantees they return when new ownership arrives.

It is so damn obvious that Grifol will be the fall guy for this season, to take the pressure off of Jerry and Getz. This is quite simply evil JR’s maniacal plan and he already telegraphed this move with the firing of Hahn and Kenny last year. Once Grifol is fired in the offseason, the Sox will sell Getz’s new manager hire as a huge deal that will be rid of the Hahn taint since Grifol wasn’t his choice. And it will be a bunch of BS and the Sox will suck next season as well. Edited June 2 by WhiteSox2023 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are so far beyond “careful what you wish for” stage in a coaching search. I don’t fucking care who replaces Pedro, Pedro sucks and is embarrassing and all I can do is hope the next guy isn’t the same. Pedro is just as bad as TLR was, I don’t feel like “oh s%*# man we shouldn’t have fired TLR look what happened!” TLR probably would have 16 or 17 wins with this bunch and would have fallen asleep in the dugout five times in the 3-22 start. get this clown out, hire a new guy and pray he isn’t a clown too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it's like the car is totaled and were thinking a new hood ornament will make a difference. He's just another symptom of a much bigger organizational problem. If it makes some fans happy, fire away, but it isn't going to move the needle much for me. Especially when he stays in house or brings in another person from an organization like KC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is there is no band aid. It’s an open festering wound and we have nothing to stop it. the point is that this guy actually is actively hurting development in favor of playing vets, and we are now starting another rebuild.

The point is that Pedro is not the guy and never was I agree. And if it gets some fans excited even better. They will still lose 100 games, they will still not have enough talent in the system to compete anytime soon. They will still be injury prone. They will still have a stubborn owner that values loyalty over wins. They will still be skipped over by premier free agents. They will still have a revolving door of coaches and managers with no clear plan for player development. I'm not saying it doesn't need to be done, I'm saying it's not going to get me to watch more games, attend any games, etc. I'm not going to fall for another facelift to think this changes much of anything in isolation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate hearing that apathy is rampant among the fans, I know you think that there is no way the White Sox leave Chicago but if the fans are apathetic and no one cares, what happens then.

That's a deliberate misunderstanding of what I'm saying. I think a true cleaning of the house is required. Getz, Pedro, scouting, training, analytics. Don't you? The team can do any one or two of those things and it won't be enough. Do you disagree with that? This started with me agreeing with @WhiteSox2023 that Pedro will be the fall guy and JR will try to sell us on another instant cure. Again, that's been his strategy for decades.
