I like Cannon. he throws strikes. If he can improve command and hit corners, he could become a 3/4. Just keep working. He doesn't need any grousing from Pedro. Baldwin was probably rushed; but now that he's here, they just need to let him play and leave him alone. Hitting major league pitching is hard for anyone. No grousing, no sitting on the bench for extended days. Edited July 21 by GreenSox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love if they could get Robert Jr. Their owner is kind of a doofus though IMO. I can't root for Pitt cause of the owner and his family business dealings.

WhiteSox2023 Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 (edited) I wonder if WE is still keeping track of all these 1-run losses or if only shutouts matter? -188 run differential. Highest in baseball. On pace for 44 wins. Edited July 21 by WhiteSox2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No grousing, no sitting on the bench for extended days. Ramos hit the team, sat one day, then started the next 8 games. I imagine Baldwin's up here to play, but if he's clearly overmatched, there's really no reason to watch him strike out 3 times a game for 6 weeks. Development isn't a bumper sticker slogan. Nobody's married to watching a prospect die with an .009 OPS. I feel Baldwin will get a fair shot, and if he's overmatched, they'll ring the bell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Mite Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 (edited) Enough is enough, Fire Grifol today who quite possibly is the worst manager in the history of MLB, bring back Guillen who will no doubt call out some of the sorry asses on the team like Benintendi. These guys have no pride at all, show no emotion and except for some pitchers keep embarrassing themselves. It’s also time to send ILOY packing, hasn’t hit a home run since May with just about nothing but ground ball singles.

If you watch the post game it’s pretty obvious Ozzie has no interest in coming off the bench to continue piloting this plane into the side of a mountain. it’s just rearranging deck chairs at this point. Removing Grifol won’t make this better anymore, it’s done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your boy Getz did something that only 13 other people in MLB history have done. Build a team that only won 27 of its first 100 games. Can’t waste a year. Great hire. He knew it was the hitting coach keeping this team down last season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if he’s striking out two or three times a game, he should be sent back down. But Ramos was striking out less than 20% of the time; he just needed to work on pitch recognition. Sosa’s OPS in July was over .700, and they sent him down. Contenders have starters hitting worse than that. He rakes AAA; is he really got my to learn anything more there? Now neither can play shortstop, which takes away some of the flexibility and is why I assume Nicky Lopez hasn’t been released. I’m just not sure what the overriding philosophy is.

Falstaff Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 It doesn't make any sense how bad the offense has been. They could run a Spring Training squad out there and put up more runs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What they should do is hire an interim manager. Then Getz would be free to conduct a real search for a replacement. But this should be Getz's decision not LaRussa's. For a change they should do something to earn credibility with the fans. Until then, there is little reason to have hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a plan, let Bench Coach Charlie Montoyo take over on an interim basis, he managed the Blue Jays for 4 years and has the experience and it wouldn’t cost poor JR that much plus Luis Robert might finally figure out who Montoyo is.
