It’s almost like the GM providing the managers a pathetic lineup that can’t score run with a terrible pitching staff makes it hard to win games. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He shouldn’t be on any short lists because he’s massively inexperienced at coaching. Right now there are literally hundreds of better candidates. With time that may change, but I wouldn’t want him organizing a full spring training plan when he’s been a part of 1 spring training since 2017. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Royals almost certainly make the playoffs so he wants to be “respectful” before asking permission to interview their current staff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of other GMs have taken over messes and not managed to have this awful of a season. He deserves blame too.

Rusty Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 (edited) 15 hours ago, ron883 said: Has he been that bad? What can you do when you are managing a pile of s%*#? The lineups have been puzzling but I assume the rest of MLB knows it’s not him making those decisions. To your point, the entire 26 man roster has maybe 4 or 5 MLB caliber players on it. You can’t really do much with that. They commonly field a batting order that doesn’t have a single guy hitting over .250 and last night had 4 hitters below a .600 ops, another 4 below .700 and the highest and final player… .704. That combined with a bunch of minor league pitchers; you aren’t going to win a lot of Major League Baseball games. Pedro was a doofus but even in his defense, this really is the most horribly constructed team in baseball history. With no real immediate and impactful help on the horizon from the minor leagues, the only way to fix the team quickly is to throw hundreds of millions of dollars at free agents which…the Sox have not done a singular time in franchise history so…its gonna take a while to dig out of this hole. It’s also a major problem when your GM is getting fleeced in trades on the return for the few marketable pieces the team does have.

Pierzynski is a familiar face with a strong personality who could bring excitement. * Sergio Santos is a rising star in the coaching ranks with early success. Other potential candidates include John Gibbons and Chris Fetter. Ultimately, the best choice depends on the White Sox's priorities and vision for the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. I seriously won’t be surprised when Schumaker goes to any other team and the Sox then start up the Sizemore hype and say he was their managerial choice all along. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted Friday at 05:16 AM Share Posted Friday at 05:16 AM (edited) Why is Skip Schumacher the flavor of the week? Why's he so great? Can u imagine when he interviews with Jerry? Hopefully some of these guys tell Jerry what he doesn't want to hear. That his team is pathetic, has a mediocre at best minor league system and it's probably going to take at least five years to win. To tell him their trading pieces of Robert and Crochet will NOT bring a haul and the absence of Crochet will make the pitching staff even worse. But we have to trade him to 'try' to get 3-4 guys who are either MLB ready or close to it. Telling Jerry that Vaughn and Sheets are our best two sluggers on paper but they are not good. And that Fletcher and all those guys like Colas are not good either. And of course that Beni would not start for any other team. He also cannot hit. Jerry ... give me five years is the message a smart manager would give to JR. Edited Friday at 05:17 AM by greg775 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
