Only took a 21 game losing streak in the middle of a season on pace to be the worst in MLB history to pull the trigger. Hopefully, they’ll actually get a good manager this time
Jose Abreu was the glue that held that team together. Once he was allowed to leave (No issue with that decision), the team no longer had a leader in the lockerroom and it was immediately a bunch of kids with no direction or maturity.
@@RainbowXplosionnyea a lot of people forget that, the bulls was one of the greatest sports dynasties of all time but as a bulls fan, i always remind people, outside of the 90s, the bulls are poverty unfortunately
it's amazing how quick the White Sox went from a serious championship contender to having a 21 game losing streak and being absolute garbage now with no sense of direction
Never really a serious contender. 2021 they were a feel good story but they weren't winning a championship that year..their trades and draft whiffs is what sunk this team.
@@eamonkelley3811And now the Sox are on pace to break the (worst) single season record set by the 1962 New York Mets (40-120). Sox are projected to finish the '24 season 39-123.
Yall did that for 108 years. Then a squirrel found a nut in 2016. Your team is so trash you’re still acting like the cubs are good. The cubs aren’t much better. Below 500 no playoffs again. Signed one of the worst managers in post season history. Ask the brewers fans.
@eamonkelley3811 they had something to build upon after the 2021 season and failed to do so, the Cubs were in a similar spot in 2015, except they built upon the team and won it all, going into the 2022 season, I thought the Sox had potential to do some big things but they flopped, starting with LaRussa losing control of his team and Anderson killing the momentum with his antics
Funny not bringing up LaRussa's DUI right before spring training lol It was always funny seeing that dinosaur try to walk to the mound. Thank goodness for tivo, saved 5 minutes every time! White Sox and The Bulls will never win another Championship with ANY REINSDORF in control.
Biggest issue was not upgrading in the holes in the line up. Never finished the rebuild. Did not sign or trade for a legit 2b or RF 2 of the biggest holes after the 21’ season and same for 22’. Not getting another arm in the rotation. They decided to go for a bullpen build that didn’t work out instead of adding another arm in the rotation. Cueto did turn out to be good but Kopech was not a starter. Giolito was bad in 22’ as well they could have used another starter instead of shopping on the bargain bin. Jerry just was not willing to go all in.
They’re more of a ytsanyd. Remember when KC lost 100 or more four of five years? Houston losing well over 100 for three straight? That’s the W-Sox current address. Not to fear, my Rockies are there as well. 🙄
But tickets are not selling. Their attendance is bad, right? Making things worse, is that Jerry and his minions blame us fans for not showing up and supporting the team. 😡😡 We are not going to go out and spend hundreds of dollars on a garbage team.
@@thomass789 Oh yeah. Attendance is terrible now. This is why they're "rebuilding" again. Will likely amount to nothing since Jerry will never be all in. Cause greed. This past rebuild was sadly our best chance in a long time. Too bad the way it all played out
They were always a flawed team with waay too many DH/1B types and an empty farm system outside of their top prospects, most of whom were acquired in deadline deals. They couldn't develop anyone and probably still can't. They weren't close to a potential dynasty. This isnt the 90's Indians.
Literally the biggest issue is ownership, Jerry Reinsdorf just absolutely suck at every level of being an owner and it showed with him basically allowing this to happen in a span of 4 years. Crazy that what could’ve been a dynasty turned into a laughing stock of the MLB, worse than the fucking Rockies man, THE ROCKIES!
Everyone blames ownership everywhere. Thats the easy way out. They are thr #2 reason we fell apart. Injuries are #1. Our core never developed properly because of injuries, and they always had to reset the development every time they went on the IL.
Herm Schneider was the best trainer in baseball for decades. Without him this team has seen nothing but injury after injury. That is a major reason for development stagnation and building a reliable roster to move towards visible goals. Also not spending on productive pieces to fill out a contender doesn't help.
As a die hard Sox fan you are absolutely right. The biggest difference is the Braves have a significantly better scouting and analytics FO. And the Braves continues to have depth in the minors somehow and overall seem less injury prone (prior to this season)
Injuries and management are the #1 and #2 reasons we fell apart. Its amazing how people just sheep over thr same excuse over and over. Yes management was terrible but most people completely dismiss the fact that iur core kept getting injured AND always had to reset after every injury, or played through injury, or simply got fatigued trying to come back. This led to a loss of morale.
You listen to the players listed in the trades and almost every one of them has been an all star or is now a great player in the league. Ridiculous how this stacked roster failed. And I'm a tigers fan who hates everything about 2012-2013.
In 2014 you had Verlander, Scherzer, Porcello, and Price. Yes, Verlander had some career-threatening injuries, but did the team need to trade the other three for hitting? Edit: I'm a Yankee fan, but I don't like seeing teams fall apart. It's not fun when the league only has powerhouses and doormats. The best seasons are the ones with tight races.
Maybe the mistake in bringing back LaRussa was the organization getting a false sense of security. Had they done poorly in 2021 that might have prompted them to do something right away.
I never bought into the idea that the White Sox were destined to be a dynasty in baseball, even during their original rebuild. I just never thought highly of the guys they acquired in deals like Moncada, Jiménez and Kopech. They never stood out to me even though they were in the minors. There were two trades that they made in the past decade that I thought severely set them back; the trade that involved acquiring Jeff Samardzija from the A's in exchange for Marcus Semien and Chris Bassitt, and that deal with the Red Sox for Chris Sale, which gave them Moncada and Kopech. The latter I thought was the biggest blunder of them all and it would set them back even further and sure enough it has. They just continuously make the wrong moves time and time again, their prospects never pan out, they made the nonsensical decision to bring Tony LaRussa out of retirement and make him manager, and they absolutely deserve to be in the position that they're in. No sympathy at all for them.
The whole team resented Larussa when he dogged Mercedes for that home run off a position player against one of their biggest rivals. Lost the team, lost the hustle, lost the effort. Larussa is A HUGE REASON this team did not succeed. They hated Larussa.
@@zacharyhoard1238 I agree with LaRussa on that, Sportsmanship comes first. Maybe there is a player on the team that doesn't like authority, because they didn't follow Griffol either.
There were some Sox fans who were saying 40 wins after getting swept by the Tigers to open the season. I thought they were joking, but they were serious and their prediction is starting to age like fine wine.
Robbie, could you take the White Sox a no step further? What I mean I n is could you go beyond your conclusion that ownership needs to go and the front office needs overhauled. Assuming Reinsdorf sells Who is your choice for GM? How would you rebuild the farm? What would you do to improve the product on t h e no field. I’d like you to consider coming up with a plan to rebuild the White Sox and how you would carry it out. Thanks you Robbie 😊
as a sox fan they really messed up on letting go of rentería he the ricky boys era was so much fun to watch and they were only just getting better too we were literally just a couple players away from being contenders but nope we ran it back and hired a senior citizen as our manager.
Robbie did you see Kyle Schwarber stat line vs Dodgers last night. 4-4 with 2B, 3HR, and 7 RBIs. Phillies finish season series vs Dodgers 5-1. Now 4 games this weekend at D Backs. Hopefully get some payback for last years NLCS
Definitely something to think about in hindsight, but in the end they were still highly touted without him, and who knows what he would have turned into with the White Sox.
Hiring a guy in Larussa was the biggest mistake a franchise could have made.... The team needed a younger manager, not somebody's great great grandad 😒🙄
The FO cut corners at every opportunity. Low-balled Machado and didn’t even offer Harper a contract. Chose La Russa over Hinch. Failed to develop and/or rushed prospects. Never invested in starting pitching. And over-paid for a volatile bullpen But the GREATEST FAILURE of this rebuild. Was strength and conditioning. These guys were never prepared to be on the field. The core of the lineup only played a handful of games together in the 20 and 21 seasons. If they were healthy they may still be making post season runs
White Sox fans gave Tony so much hate when he actually got them to a winning record. Now the White Sox are in shambles. I also find it funny when people would try and say he didn't belong in todays era as if the red sox in 2018 did not give him huge credit for helping them win, he knew who should be on a team and who shouldn't.
They fired Hahn and Kenny after the 2023 deadline btw. Not until after they spent a ton of money on useless benentendi and hired worthless Pedro though
Reinsdorf ruined it. Beginning with meddling with the manager hire and not greenlighting Hahn to get a real secondbaseman and Rightfielder. On top of making lazy ass offers to Harper and Machado. Reinsdorf is stuck in the 1980s and it shows
They were always Ricky’s team. You knew it was over when they pushed him out for the old boys club. Tony didn’t know how to manage the team and get the best out of them like Ricky did.
Didn’t forget, but it didn’t end up making much of a difference in the grand scheme of things because they were still highly regarded without him. You also never know how a prospect will turn out in other systems.
You also forgot to remember tatis jr is on the dl every year like moncada, Jimenez, and Robert have been. You also failed to mention that not only does tatis jr spend the majority of his prime on the dl, he’s also been suspended for steriods for 80 games already.
It’s pretty much all Uncle Jerry’s fault. No team in a major market like this should be such a poverty franchise. I think LaRussa also wrecked this team. When he three Mercedes under the bus, the team knew they would have no support. Sad
Ozzie Guillen was just a loud mouth drunk, anyone with even a modest understanding of baseball could have won with those teams. And La Russa was so past his prime he probably thought Tim Anderson was the ball boy, which explains why he kept calling him "boy".
And I thought going into 2024 the A's would be baseball's worst team: cheap owner who trades away good players and the turmoil of relocation with next year and at least the year after playing in a minor league park. But they are the Yankees or the Dodgers compared to this year's White Sox.
Brewers should have been a dynasty in the 80s and 2018 and 2019 somebody should do a video on the disappointing history of Milwaukee only Wisconsin major sports team not to win a championship
Tony out of touch? The game sucks today. Rule changes, high strikeout rates, Pitchers can't go 6 innings, putting Ghost runners on 2nd ect Never seen such trash in baseball. Its like they get together and say What can we do to ruin game? Sox want new stadium, thats only goal.
Oh no tho... LaRussa was too old school and a boot strap guy. We dgaf about "the right way" thats racist. Get rid of this dinosaur and bent the knee to Tim (lol) Anderson. Sox earned their basement sweller status.
As a former Sox fan I can tell you exactly what's wrong. Despite its population, Chicago cannot support two MLB teams. The ricketts out-corrupted Jerry and so Jerry is playing a losing game.
Chicago can support 2 MLB teams but the problem is that Jerry Reinsdorf can’t support 2 teams, let alone 1 The Ricketts outcorrupted Jerry? Like spent money on team operations?
Worst team in baseball? Worst team in baseball history...congrats on 120 losses (and counting) the Mets fans say thank you. Should've been a dynasty? uh no...shoulda, coulda and woulda does not apply to Chicago baseball history....it's not what the Sox or even the Cubs do by habit...a dynasty in baseball is generally reserved for the city of New York, particularly regarding the Yankees, and to a very limited degree, the Atlanta Braves of the 1990s....let's not forget the '72-'74 Oakland A's; a small-market dynasty with a very cheap owner, but i digress. It's Chicago....they don't do baseball all that well, let alone dynasties. Well, the better way for me to say it is that they don't sustain the winning in general, hence dynastic runs aren't a thing to seriously embrace as a possibility. One would think a city with not one but two professional baseball teams could at the very least put together a dynastic run...but as mentioned, it's never on the proverbial menu for the city of Chicago. Which makes the Bulls dynasty of the '90's and the Bears dynasty of the '40's all the more relevant. The Chicago White Sox years in the City of Big Shoulders are numbered. They'll be leaving Illinois in my humble opinion because other cities will take 'em and give them that which they covet....an unearned, brand-new shiny baseball cathedral. Goodbye Chicago and hello to Salt Lake City, or Nashville, or Portland.
Astros broke em in 2021 whether y’all wanna admit it or not. The Sox talked shit like they were a dynasty accused houston of cheating after game 3 and the Astros absolutely rocked em in game 4
Remember when they all complained how terrible Tony LaRussa was? Someone should take out a banner in the South Side of his image that reads "Miss Me Yet?"
As a cubs fan. I like it better when the Sox stink. But they have had some really good lineups last 20 years that should have done a lot better. Think about what could have been. If they just kept larussa fir a couple decades
Biggest issue was not upgrading in the holes in the line up. Never finished the rebuild. Did not sign or trade for a legit 2b or RF 2 of the biggest holes after the 21’ season and same for 22’. Not getting another arm in the rotation. They decided to go for a bullpen build that didn’t work out instead of adding another arm in the rotation. Cueto did turn out to be good but Kopech was not a starter. Giolito was bad in 22’ as well they could have used another starter instead of shopping on the bargain bin.

uh no...shoulda, coulda and woulda does not apply to Chicago baseball history....it's not what the Sox or even the Cubs do by habit...a dynasty in baseball is generally reserved for the city of New York, particularly regarding the Yankees, and to a very limited degree, the Atlanta Braves of the 1990s....let's not forget the '72-'74 Oakland A's; a small-market dynasty with a very cheap owner, but i digress.
It's Chicago....they don't do baseball all that well, let alone dynasties. Well, the better way for me to say it is that they don't sustain the winning in general, hence dynastic runs aren't a thing to seriously embrace as a possibility.
One would think a city with not one but two professional baseball teams could at the very least put together a dynastic run...but as mentioned, it's never on the proverbial menu for the city of Chicago.
Which makes the Bulls dynasty of the '90's and the Bears dynasty of the '40's all the more relevant.
The Chicago White Sox years in the City of Big Shoulders are numbered. They'll be leaving Illinois in my humble opinion because other cities will take 'em and give them that which they covet....an unearned, brand-new shiny baseball cathedral.
Goodbye Chicago and hello to Salt Lake City, or Nashville, or Portland.
Well they didn't let La Russa nano manage the team and set the team culture. That is why the team failed.
Die-Nasty.
😮😲😨😱🥺🙄😬😳😱
😂😂😂
Astros broke em in 2021 whether y’all wanna admit it or not. The Sox talked shit like they were a dynasty accused houston of cheating after game 3 and the Astros absolutely rocked em in game 4
The are a Dynasty of pure trash
White Sox were always bad got lucky nd could never win put played poor teams cubs have a harder season
Remember when they all complained how terrible Tony LaRussa was? Someone should take out a banner in the South Side of his image that reads "Miss Me Yet?"
As a cubs fan. I like it better when the Sox stink. But they have had some really good lineups last 20 years that should have done a lot better. Think about what could have been. If they just kept larussa fir a couple decades
All you did was tell us the sad history no thought
Then you clearly didn’t watch the video because I gave my opinions on what I think happened.
Under no circumstances have the Sox had a good team in over 20 years
2008 was the last good team, they also won a division, that was less than 20 years ago
Biggest issue was not upgrading in the holes in the line up. Never finished the rebuild. Did not sign or trade for a legit 2b or RF 2 of the biggest holes after the 21’ season and same for 22’. Not getting another arm in the rotation. They decided to go for a bullpen build that didn’t work out instead of adding another arm in the rotation. Cueto did turn out to be good but Kopech was not a starter. Giolito was bad in 22’ as well they could have used another starter instead of shopping on the bargain bin. Jerry just was not willing to go all in.
