caulfield12 Posted Tuesday at 11:57 AM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 11:57 AM https://www.espn.com/nba/attendance/_/sort/homeTotal Reinsdorf couldn't care less about the Bulls' record. As long as they are first or second in attendance every year. Ironic that the Mars are the other team up at the top...both SHOULD have pretty disgruntled fanbases, but by and large consistently support their teams through thick and thin.

Snopek Posted Tuesday at 02:59 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:59 PM On 3/24/2025 at 3:32 PM, T R U said: Which is funny, because I can't recall a single discussion heading into 2024 from anyone that the White Sox were in fact tanking and had no plans on trying to win games. Which again, makes no fucking sense since they couldn't pick any higher than 10th anyways so what exactly are you trying to tank for? Expand I mean there's a difference between tanking for a high draft pick and just not being in a position to be competitive. I don't think they were necessarily tanking, but I don't think they were trying to be competitive either. I think they were trying to field a respectable enough team to play out the season while focusing mainly on the early stages of the teardown. That the team they put together ended up being the worst in history deserves every bit of criticism and ridicule it's gotten, but I don't subscribe to the notion that it happened while they were trying to actually compete.

Expand The Padres are definitely try to compete (for now) and rostered Maldonado over Campusano one year later. No doubt Getz assumed they would be at least around a 70 win team...not twenty or thirty games below that. And that was with Crochet Fedde and a bunch of mostly veteran relievers. Also, Clevinger obviously had a big fall off from 2023. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand While I don't believe they expected to contend for a playoff spot, based on the things they said and the moves they made heading into 2024 there is no way I believe at all that they weren't trying to win. I honestly believe they thought they would probably be in the 70's for wins based on just improving the defense and patching the holes the roster had forever and completely backtracked once the season started and everything went off the rails. No team entering a tear down is trading a SP prospect for a 26 year old low upside corner outfielder. It is what it is at this point, here's to hoping this time is better.

Then it's all teams are sitting players. Then it's well they are playing their players but they just came back from injury.
