OT: Other Sports 82

[TLEH]

From what I understand from others that know the NBA better, Lauri is still a flawed player (like LaVine) and both their contracts aren't very good.

Thank God

The worst manager I have ever seen coach White Sox

Made me miss Terry Bevington

He was beyond brutal. But it also won't matter much if Reinsdorf does his usual status quo in that aspect of hiring. They need to completely clean house. Unfortunately that old Bozo isn't going anywhere but they can AT LEAST fire most of the international scouting department (looking at you Marco Paddy), some of the development staff on the hitting side, Getz all the way to Brooks Boyer. ALL of them need to be gone.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

The only problem is that the Sox need to fire a few dozen people, so all they did was cut one rotten branch from an otherwise dead tree.

Vargas is not a ML talent

He cant hit and he cant field

Terrible trade

 

[No Fun Shogun]

America holds on versus Serbia.

Lauri, I think works best as a number 3 option. Like Zach, if Lauri is your number 1, you are in trouble.

He's old. Hopefully he shuffles off into the next life soon.

Hear me out

No one will want the Sox job who has any talent or potential. This team is in dumps for next several years

So, should we bring back Ozzie? Personally he is exact type of manager this coming situation needs. Someone who will play kids, hold guys accountable who loaf off and someone who can take slings/arrows of media and fans to protect his team

What slings and arrows? They win fifty games next year it's improvement.

Here's the thing - a job like that comes with zero expectations. They have to play for the #1 pick next year. So it's a relatively safe gig for a few years.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Eh, it's also a gig that doesn't provide you with a platform to spring off from to being a manager or GM. If anything, getting the gig on the south side might delay an up-and-comer from getting a job as boss of an legitimate organization.

Plus, let's be real... it's not like Reinsdorf will pay top dollar.

Sox's best options would be has-beens looking for one last ride or journeymen oldtimers that just want a boss gig to cap off their career.

Why would he ever want that job?

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Why would he ever want that job?

He was interested in job last go round but Sox went with Grifol instead

He has gotten (Nor sought out from my knowledge) interviews elsewhere since Miami

 

[HeisenBaez]

So the Cubs nearly blew a 7 run lead against the Sox. Cubs held on by a 7-6 score.

There is a stat about the Sox I just learn but don't want to say because its feels like I would adding to Sox fans frustrations.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Cubs win again and USA wins the Olympics, baby.

 

[clydesdale line]

How in the hell are the Sox putting up 11 runs on the damn Yankees?

Manager has to be the most overrated position in baseball.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

Been waiting for months for this to get formally announced, lol.

Makes sense. Have to assume Notre Dame and Wisconsin, but will wait and see on who else plays.

Too bad Illinois couldn't get off their asses with a capital drive for a varsity team and arena rather than their current plan of waiting for a single mega donor to fork over a hundred million bucks.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

I think it's 2 days of doubleheaders, but we'll know for sure Thursday. Don't know if that's 8 schools, or 4 playing 2 games.

 

[Ben Grimm]

Regardless of who wins the sausage races at Brewers games, they're all wieners to us.

 

[Ben Grimm]

White Sox, on pace for most MLB losses ever, to cut 2025 season ticket prices by 10%

Get excited, fans.

Neat that a women's game is getting featured, too. Hope that's well-attended as well.

Too bad there isn't a PWHL Chicago team. That would've been a fun option, too.
