caulfield12 Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 "The Sox fell to 31-100, giving them back-to-back seasons of 100 or more losses for the first time in club history. They’re the second-fastest to reach triple-digit losses in the modern era behind the 1916 Philadelphia Athletics, who did it one game sooner at 29-100-1."

The long term? This means the losing will continue. Cave? The Sox will do whatever they want to do even if they continue to lose. I have every confidence in that. Success? That is yet to be determined, and it may be years from now, if ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think about it, in the history of baseball, including the era where The Tank is a practiced methodology, no franchise in modern baseball history has been able to intentionally put together a worse team the White Sox did when they were supposedly trying this season. Sox fans want to see a clear plan and methodology. They have seen Captain Panic and the worst team in MLB history. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when they rebuilt the first time, they tried doing it with the same cast that got them in the position they needed to gut the team. All other teams that do that change their front office. So the Sox fail, and then try to do it again with a dope that was there for the failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like they were flying along and flew into a brick wall, and then everything fell apart. I have seen failed rebuilds, but usually they just never go anywhere. I can't recall seeing something like this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 https://whitesoxdaily.substack.com/p/2023-draft-inside-the-white-sox-war Maybe we can start emailing all these scouts and ask them what the heck is going on? Usually the Sox email addresses are first initial/last name at whitesox or chisox.com. The Jacob Gonzalez internal assessment really stands out...but not in a good way. Like Nick Hostetler and Z.Collins going at 1-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't recall seeing something like this one. Toronto and Detroit are just mediocre but hardly disasters yet...Nationals feel like the new media darlings, Pirates, Reds, etc. KC's rise from 106 losses and eventually a new stadium seemingly, that's pretty darned close to the opposite of the Sox in one of the smallest markets, with Cags on the way as well to supplement an anticipated Sal Perez falloff.

It started with Sports Vision. Trump the execs with the TLR hire, Next up is the myth of getting better by trading Crochet and Robert. You can't have nice things.

Until Taylor got hurt - the Taylor pick was looking great. Hopefully he bounces back and ends up being a dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
