The word on the White Sox interwebs is that Getz had been throwing Kenny and Hahn under the bus for a while. Maybe (and yes I know this is a huge giant maybe) those two were keeping a lid on him and he wanted to try and new approach. Given the reports we have heard about Hahn wanting out, its plausible that this may have been the case and Kenny was still power hungry and involved in everything. We'll just have to see. I know us Sox fans can hope in one hand and shit in the other and see what fills up first, but all we can do is hope at this point.

IMO nothing will change until Jerry dies or sells, but I'll do my best to give Getz the benefit of the doubt for a few months and see what moves he makes or is allowed to make.

Give him zero benefit of the doubt. Criticize every move. If by some stroke of luck he falls ass backwards into a good decision, begrudgingly acknowledge it solely in contrast to the bad decisions he’s made.

No quarter for this organization.

I won't deny I probably should feel this way, and certainly would not begrudge anybody who does.

That said, I'll still wait and see what happens this offseason. I guess I'm just that much of a masochist, naive Sox fan to believe in that 1% chance there is things will be different...

On a day where the Sox exec failed upward, Bernstein is very concerned about TLR.

I hope you're right, but I don't think you are:

1. Kenny and Hahn drafted Getz and brought him back as a member of the front office. I think he would feel some sense of loyalty to them and probably wouldn't undermine them;
2. Jerry seems like someone who values loyalty. I don't think he would reward somebody who undermined his superiors with a promotion; and
3. If Getz's criticism was well received, you would still think there would at least be some incentive to hire outside of the organization. It seems like they didn't even bother to look outside the organization.

I'm not even going to bother with forced optimism at this point.

Leave it to Bob to use a meme from a season where the team won 102 games. Vaccinated Bobby must think pretty highly of the 2024 Sox! :lol: :lol:

Jerry on the muscle about those with negative thoughts on TLR. He’s cancer shaming those who’d critique Tony’s performance.

Just straight-up disabusing Bernstein right now.

Reinsdorf also very giggly while highlighting they’d never be in for a guy like Ohtani. Media chuckled along with him.

Of course Jerry won't spend, but Ohtani is likely headed for Tommy John surgery.

Maybe Ohtani has a cousin or an in law who is a relief pitcher they can sign.

Reinsdorf wants Getz to try to identify scouts who’ve been fired by organizations that prioritize analytics and see if he can find some gems.

Rebuild off to a great start.

Jerry: fans should be pissed, but this is our first really bad year. Also, I didn’t get in this game to make money.

Hey if the Sox want to go all in on the nerd stats, that's fine by me. Its clearly something they haven't valued much of over the last several seasons. You think TLR gave a shit about WAR or that Pedro Grifol understand run differential?

Bernstein doesn't like TLR because he has different opinions on social/political issues. That makes TLR a horrible person. If he can attack his managing (which was justified) on top of it (or in cover of his dislike of the person), so be it. #21stCenturyJournalism

Opposite of that. Jerry wants them to find scouts that analytical front offices deemed expendable.

So Reinsdorf is hoping that hiring Getz, who knows the organization, will allow the White Sox to quickly turn things around vs. hiring a more qualified candidate who may be slower in making large changes to improve the overall roster.

is that the calculation?

How is Getz supposed to improve the major league team if the minor league system is, being generous, middle of the pack, and the payroll has limitations that will not allow for a fast turnaround?

Jerry with a Cocaine Mitch joke.

Also early-on, threatened Sox fans by noting he thinks he’ll be alive another 10yrs.

This sounds like Money Ball. Don't replace the player, they can't pay them, but find cheap talent to come close to replacing the numbers.

Grifol will be back next season. So much for being different.

Good to know that guy who thought he had leaders in Spring Training and didn't figure out until June that they weren't the real leaders will be back at the helm.
