Love AJ he is the voice of Sox fans we are fed up and nothing will change till Jerry is gone or sells

[@maverick1956hk]

Yes, nothing will change until Jerry is gone

[@MrZinjanthropus]

@@maverick1956hk dont attend a game until jerry is gone

[@KevinMiller-xn5vu]

​@@MrZinjanthropusThat won't be until he dies. Reinsdorf said after last season that he isn't selling the team.

[@MrZinjanthropus]

@@KevinMiller-xn5vu Fans should boycott until Jerry dies. The team is nowhere close to being a contender for many years to come. Jerry sucks

[@tomk.3428]

The Sox are heading for a 20 win season! Bravo! Year 18 of the current rebuild…

[@aidenawe9359]

More like rebuild 2.0. 2006-2016 were semi competing years.

[@MrZinjanthropus]

worst garbage

[@MrZinjanthropus]

dont attend any games

[@vincedidiana5781]

Die hard Sox fan. I’m 43. It’s early, as we’re not even 10 percent through the year, but this is easily a 100 loss team and by far a top 2-3 worst Sox team I’ve seen. 1988 and ‘89 were awful. This looks worse.

[@characteristicgaming99]

130 losses

[@michaelleroy9281]

It's not early, it's over

[@Abax77]

150 losses

[@wupapi39]

They're fu¢kin TRASH! Worst lineup, manager and GM in baseball

[@johnowens7684]

Poor Chuck is getting reamed like he put the team together ‼️

[@scapegoat8180]

They aren't pressing. They're depressing.

[@MrZinjanthropus]

they suck

[@jeffcann9159]

This team will be lucky to win 60. Thanks Hahn and Kenny. You did a great job on your way out.

[@MrZinjanthropus]

thank Jerry, buck stops with him.

[@scottemory72]

I’m a Cubs fan but I’m pissed off for all the Sox fans. That entire organization is a disgrace and it starts with the owner. Chicago is a large market and they should be spending some money, but the White Sox act like they are in a small market. At least if they’re going to act small market then they should be developing players, they aren’t doing that either. The Sox fans deserve better, they deserve a new owner who will clean house and bring a winner to the Southside.

[@aidenawe9359]

They are a historically a mid market team

[@KevinMiller-xn5vu]

Until Reinsdorf dies, that's not going to happen.

[@johantrenier1685]

Grifol is horse bleep. He is a terrible in game coach.

[@johngaines5905]

Grifol should go but this team is so bad it’s really a cover for him. No one on the planet can improve this team by managerial skill alone

[@PEANUTBUTTERNINJA]

If you didn't think the Sox were going to suck then you are delusional. They won't win 50 games.

[@llee8825]

The Sox don't do anything well.

[@scottbaker5998]

Honestly, it has seemed to me over the last few years that the Southside is where players come to die. Players arrive via trades and do not develop or meet expectations. Free agents shun the team and only sign when other teams reject them. They are now the lovable losers who aren't lovable. The team didn't give up in April or March... they gave up when Houston ran them out of the playoffs in 2021 and every new arrival comes in already dead inside. I am glad that Moncada is out of the lineup because I can't watch him jog the bases and fail to hustle any more.

[@llee8825]

You hit it on the head. No good players want to sign here because of Jerry Reinsdorf's bad reputation as a terrible owner.

[@boxybrown4421]

This Sox team is a damn embarrassment.

[@David.560_-]

It could be worse

[@PatrickSwanson-u2u]

Biggest takeaway is what Chuck can’t say and how AJ wrapped this up. Royals actually spent money to improve in off-season and White Sox spent nothing. White Sox traded Cease and added. I free agents. The White Sox have a team of has-beens and never was. Baseball has a competitive balance problem because every year there are teams not trying. It is collusion to keep roster spending and payroll down. This is the worst Sox team they have ever assembled and has a chance to break the MLB record for most losses in a season:

[@joekirner8832]

Worst owner and rolls down from there. Saw this coming during off-season. Doesn't Getz it and Grafool Jerry people Same guys hurt. Don't act shocked. 2 of those 3 have sucked ea yr. Stop going to the ballpark. Force Jerry to sell.

[@kturetsky]

Ru ready to sign Bauer yet? He just proved the lady from Arizona lied & now she's being charged with fraud!

[@alrad5686]

At the end of the video AJ brought up the Royals fixing their team by spending money. The Royals team payroll is still lower than the Sox payroll. Spending money insures nothing. Not having Pedro Grifol as your manager immediately improves your team. My schnauzers could manage better. In my 60 years of being a Sox fan, I've never been so disgusted, so soon.

[@garretttiedje3994]

Only plus is Garrett as a starting pitcher. This team is such poo poo. Yo yo, Eloy, can't stay healthy. JERRY SELL THE TEAM!

[@alandunlap3614]

They were supposed to play FAST lol. Now that stands for Friggin Awful Sox Team

[@miniDrew4]

It's brutal being a Sox fan. Pedro should get removed.

I don’t wish death on many people but if that’s what it takes for Jerry to leave the Sox so be it

[@tonyg.1114]

So sad, yet true.

[@michaelleroy9281]

So does that mean a win first day he's gone?

[@gijoe41688]

in a mlb season: 90% of teams will lose 60 games and win 60 game. this White Sox team could lose 110

[@johantrenier1685]

AJ why are you persons non grata with the White Sox now? Does this mean you can never manage or coach there again??

[@WillMuny]

As of now they are averaging 2 runs a game. Which if it keeps up would give them 324 runs scored. That would shatter the all time record of fewest runs scored in a season. The record is 372 by the 1908 St. Louis Cardinals.

[@mikeflynn902]

How about a new set of door knobs .. maybe restripe the parking lot .. comon Chucles "WHO ARE YOU CRAPPING?"

[@jhberg17]

The good news is they will probably win 50 games.. but I’m not betting on it.

[@MrZinjanthropus]

how can this garbage team win 50 games???

[@michaelleroy9281]

Not if they can only win 1 game a week

[@7nawt7]

AJ for President of White Sox Baseball. I will settle for manager. Clearly Jerry will not hire Ozzy again. Truly believe he hired Ozzy, to get the team ready for another manager once they got their 💩 together. Fortunately, Ozzy got the job done, before Jerry could stick his prick in the teams chemistry and bring in a drunk friend to manage. Thank God for Ozzie and Phil. The over achieving Legends in Chicago Sports lore, won it all, despite dumb crap from the same owner! 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@7nawt7]

Jerry should sell. He is not welcome in Chicago. Ask Kraus’ widow. We have a long memory. Jordan taught us to never forget how much disdain they had for the players. Thinking they had done all the work in the office. Lmao! Jordan saw that mf at his hall of fame ceremony. Called him out immediately! 15 games straight! I love the players. The manager and the owner can relocate expeditiously, with peace and love. Sticking around could have the opposite effect

[@seanschaefer6070]

Watch how Chuck dances around the Chris Getz question. Got to respect Chuck's professionality but we all know the truth about how bad the White Sox player development is.

[@characteristicgaming99]

Fire Grifol!

[@MrZinjanthropus]

sell the team

[@georgesouthwick7000]

Guess you haven’t watched any St. Louis Cardinals games this season.

[@mattpetrousek6709]

As long as Jerry Riensdorf owns the White Sox I will no longer support the team I'm a brewers fan now I'm finished

[@nicholastricarico2957]

What vision? The only vision the White Sox have is making Jerry Boy a profit. With the skint spend on the team and stadium, that should be no problem.

[@dcscott0602]

I don't know what Chuck and Ozzie are paid. But it ain't enough to watch this car crash every night, then turn around and try to make sense of it all on a pre and post game.

[@michaelkolacz4449]

Only darkness at the end of the tunnel until new ownership arrives.

[@7nawt7]

Whose son is this with the polka dot shirt? 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@garretttiedje3994]

I'll put a bet out, Sox lose 110 games this year

[@llee8825]

I doubt they can win 32 games at this rate. I've calculated it based upon their current standings.

[@michaelleroy9281]

One win a week adds up to 24 wins for the season 24-138

[@garretttiedje3994]

Not saying you're wrong

[@MarlinWilliams-ts5ul]

AJ looks like he can still suit up and play.

[@makeplays]

update: it's getting worse

[@phillipbruni2434]

It’s an absolute disgrace the way Jerry is running the organizations, not that complaining will do any good. The organization doesn’t care, he said him, “it’s a business” as long as the business makes some money, who cares. Theres no end game, there’s no out, there’s no plan except make money for the business

The only thing Reinsdorf gives Sox fans is the finger.

2:23 - Thank you for asking this much needed question. I think you were overly kind, in fact. What the heck kind of resume does that farm system give a guy that you decide that, "Yes. I definitely want that guy in charge of everything, and I see no need to do an outside recruitment, despite the fact that 0 other teams are looking to hire my guy."

[@MichaelPainter-v7w]

Jerry in over 40 years beside 05 havnt won a single playoff series.

[@johnowens7684]

Man I wonder if AJ has an animosity toward the White Sox 😳

[@MichaelPainter-v7w]

No longer a fan I enjoy watching them lose now. Go to Nashville for all I care worst Franchise in baseball. Make playoffs 8.9 percent of the years they’ve played. Lowest of ALL 30 mlb teams

[@llee8825]

The Sox are dead last in MLB for runs. They will set all the other worst in MLB records this season.

[@aidenawe9359]

Ppl need to stop with the Nashville rumors seriously. 5 years is a long time. I’m sure Chicago can help the White Sox stay in Chicago.

[@aidenawe9359]

Also they aren’t even close to the worst franchise in baseball. That title belongs to the Rockies.

[@baltoandtogo]

Also, how is it that Grifol didn't take the blame for last year's performance and the bad clubhouse? 2-13 start may get him finally fired, but I thought last year was enough reason to dump him and his staff.

[@wupapi39]

They didn't wanna pay him to go away when they knew they weren't going to try winning this year. Basically they chose to hang what they knew would be an awful season on him rather than a new manager. It's the kinda thing an owner who lives to finish 2nd or 3rd would do to save money

[@baltoandtogo]

@@wupapi39 That's an excellent point, thank you. His contract is a sunk cost maybe at this point, so no point in paying more for a better manager for this crap team.

[@aidenawe9359]

Firing Grifol won’t make a difference.

[@Wo1fLarsen]

Its not every other team AJ. Sox are down now, they'll be up in the future. This is baseball. There's player development failures all over baseball.

[@aidenawe9359]

Yep. At some point they have anything but to go up rather it’s next season or 2026.

[@Rick-f4j]

In the winter of 1898/1899 new owners John and Charles Robison who owned the St. Louis Cardinals gained majority control of the Cleveland Spiders. In this era, multiple team "syndicate" ownership was permitted. The Robisons transferred Patsy Tebeau, Jesse Burkett, Cy Young and 10 other good 1898 players to St. Louis. On June 1,1899 the Spiders were 8-26 and then for September and October they went 1-34. The Spiders final record in the National League was 20-134.

[@brianhamende2950]

Karma is all I’ll say. Think about that. I hope the Reinsdorfs never sell the team, I’m definitely watching this team. Think about that.

[@johngaines5905]

First thing is lose the black and silver unis. Only one team owns that color scheme: RAIDERS!!!

As a White Sox fan, the future is bright, Top 10 farm system, I see the vision. The pessimism is short sighted

[@aidenawe9359]

I will say some of their prospects have looked really good so far. Farm system is ranked 18th to 20th I believe.
