Y2Jimmy0 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I'd still be pretty surprised if he's not the manager next year as well. They want him to be the manager it seems. Bruce Levine said today that from the intel he's gathered, "they're going to fire the players". Should be interesting at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 well, after reading the first 20 pages i saw that Marty34, SOXOBAMA, and WHITESOXRANDY loved the move, and SoxBadger was for it as well. I dont see a lot of people agreeing with it, but I didnt go past 20 pages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shysocks Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I was at a recruiting event for my employer when I got a text from my brother saying they'd hired Robin. What a mystifying decision. I was so upset. It took every effort not to cuss out loud. It's one of the most vivid White Sox memories I have in the last five years. Is that sad? I think that's sad.

flavum Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 6, 2011 -> 03:48 PM) This is like something a fan would think up. I'll reserve judgement, but I'm shocked by this. I don't have to reserve judgement anymore. Terrible manager. Terrible coaching staff. Terrible players. Dormant franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harkness99 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Was baffled by the move back then... Vast majority didn't like the move however 249-302 later... (beyond abysmal the past 3 years) just remember "manager doesn't mean much guys" The multitudes saw this coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is really what should happen as it is truly the players fault. However, it is very difficult to do. You're right it should be interesting.

Quin Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 6, 2011 -> 04:11 PM) ...the f***? QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 6, 2011 -> 04:14 PM) I feel like this is Kenny setting up a 90's Sox Reunion and just not inviting Walker or Ozzie to spite them. QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 6, 2011 -> 04:21 PM) Ray Durham should be named bench coach (take over Cora's role). Black Jack can be the bullpen coach. Harold first base coach. Frank is the hitting coach. Name Valentin the 3rd base coach. It's a big 90's reunion with Ozzie not invited. Ok, good. I didn't like this. I feel vindicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Usually, when someone digs up an old thread it makes the fans look foolish. This thread demonstrates the prescience of the White Sox fanbase, as per one of our friends: QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 6, 2011 -> 04:08 PM) I think this is more "Throwing in the towel" than rebuilding.

ptatc Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I find it interesting how people decide to assign blame. When the offense was awful before it wad Walkers fault and everyone wanted him fired. I haven't seen Steversons name once. Not that I think Ventura is doing well, its just odd about how some on this board decide it's one persons fault and attack relentlessly.

chitownsportsfan Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Balta really nailed this one. So did 90% of the other posters but Balta's takes were spot on. Maybe KW and Rick should poll Soxtalk on the new manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooper is probably the one I like the best but I don't mind if they all go. We've had a remarkable run of keeping pitchers healthy and finding good ones, I don't know how much of that is luck and how much of that is truly Cooper and Herm, but I'd keep them despite any other managerial changes we might make.

Dick Allen Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 So the White Sox struggles the past 3 seasons are all on Robin. If they would have hired Dave Martinez, there probably would have been playoff appearances and capacity crowds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they would have hired Dave Martinez, there probably would have been playoff appearances and capacity crowds? White Sox struggles are first and foremost on the players and the team that put the roster together. In some cases, hands were tied and rebuilding was going on. I'd say Robin is the least of the perpetrators but he's also the easiest to get rid of. And I've consistently said, look at the roster he's been given, you are going to suck defensively no matter what. However, seeing Alexei and Eaton, who should still be avg. and above avg defenders, respectively, also stink, is a disturbing trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
