Life long White Sox fan here: the main reason why it fell apart is because the owner Jerry Reinsdorf. He's cheap and doesn't like to take risks, Benintendi is the highest White Sox contract in team history at $75 mil. They didn't offer Bryce Harper enough, Machado etc. The rebuild started with the tear down and the restructuring was good, but it was KILLED by never signing a big name free agent vet to bring it all together, a superstar if you will, AND the firing of Ricky Renteria in 2020 for TLR. The team was built and brought up with Renteria at the helm. Not necessarily for him, but he was essentially the dad for these guys. Then bam Grandpa comes in to replace him and the vibe changes. How that 2021 team excelled at all is proof that there was talent there. With the right motivation, leader and environment, that '21 team could've been better and this video wouldn't exist. ...btw great video jolly felt good to watch something that wasn't 100% making fun of them

2023 was the White Sox worst start to a season since 1948 So far

@michaelleroy9281

7 күн бұрын

2024 for sure will be the worst season for the Sox since 1970

The Benintendi signing (on paper) made sense. The White Sox let Abreu walk because they already had too many 1B/DH types (Vaughn, Sheets, Burger, Jimenez). Signing Benintendi allowed the White Sox to move Vaughn (atrocious OFer) to 1B, where he'd presumably be a bit better or at least equal to Abreu defensively, and leaving the DH spot open for Eloy (which would hopefully keep him healthier). The White Sox upgraded two positions defensively. They probably should have been more wary of Benintendi's power decline in 2022, but it kinda made sense. I was never really fully in on the White Sox core. I didn't think Cease or Giolito would ever develop into SPs at the time they were acquired. Offensively, almost all of the hitters they were developing were strict corner guys (Jimenez, Vaughn, Burger, Sheets, and to a lesser extent Moncada). Jimenez and Vaughn both had lowish walk rates, highish K rates, and really poor defense. There were no up the middle prospects except for Robert, who also had a really scary K:BB ratio. It just didn't feel like a team that was going to be assembled correctly, especially with ownership being unwilling to spend and management not being the savviest traders. They only spent on mid-range vets who were already on the older side (Grandal, Lynn, Keuchel, Graveman, Kelly, and I guess you could kinda put Hendriks in this category too). Those players all broke down over the lifetime of their contracts and ownership/management wasn't able/willing to do enough to replace them. Hahn/Williams/Getz are all about 20 years behind the times. Even the '05 White Sox were a very "old-school" team and Hahn/Williams tried to recreate that lightning in a bottle until they got fired. They refused to compensate for flaws in players that even casual fans of today could recognize. They didn't account for the aging curves of players in the post-steroid era. They didn't account for guys like Tim Anderson, Yoan Moncada, and Andrew Benintendi only being useful players if they could consistently run an unsustainable BABIP. They failed to dumpster dive for players with useful traits who could be acquired for cheap and instead gave out big-ish contracts to relievers and put veterans like Elvis Andrus in the starting lineup. (I actually think the inability to find useful depth pieces to cover for the injuries that any team is going to experience was the main source of failure in this contention window. The White Sox started a lot of hopelessly bad players in the last couple years). They rightfully got rid of Hahn and Williams and replaced them with a guy who's only goal is to make the White Sox a retirement home for former Royals players/staff. I genuinely think they've been the most incompetently run team in baseball for at least the past 10 years

As a Sox fan who remembers all of this vividly I watched the whole thing anyway because I'm a masochist. Great stuff Jolly! Also this is a minor thing but it's a common theme in some of your work, sometimes you need to double check the pronunciation of player names lol it's Le-NEEN Sosa not LEN-in, BEN-it Sousa not Bin-ETT, and Kyle Stowers rhymes with Flowers, not Mowers. I hate to be that guy but it is important to get that right! I believe every team has a "Pronunciation Guide" page under the "Roster" tab on their official website with audio clips of every player saying their name which I find very helpful. Again just a minor critique though, I love your videos!

Maybe the most comedically timed WTF I've ever experienced. Thank you.

Andrew Vaughn never making the jump to being a big power bat. Michael Kopech falling apart. Jose Ruiz falling apart. Aaron Bummer falling apart. The Yermin Mercedes fiasco. Lance Lynn & Keynan Middleton talking loads of shit about the Whitesox after getting traded. Benintendi being insanely mid after getting paid. Garrett Crochet constantly being hurt. Luis Patiño constantly being hurt. After finally firing Kenny & Hahn, they just promoted Chris Getz in-house, dooming this franchise to laughing stock status until they hit absolutely everything and start over

Great Video. Maybe it's because i'm not a White Sox fan but to me the collapse seemed to come out of nowhere at the time. On a more positive note the young Catcher Korey Lee seems to be pretty talented and i think Mike Soroka will be a solid starter in the future, don't know if that will happen this year but i think it will happen.

As a white sox and warehouse fan, man this video hurts. I thank you warehouse for providing alternate entertainment for me as this team is just so so painful and depressing.

Was listening in the background and yet I knew what that game was vs the twins. Iconic moments in Byron Buxton history.

Before even watching the video as a White Sox fan I know the answer. Pitching it's pitching 2020 short season they lost to the A's (Yes they were good then)because of lack of pitching as in a game 3 (If I remember correctly Dane Dunning threw 1 inning then Garrett Crochet was injured and left them scrambling) 2021 made it to the playoff's facing the Astros problem starters The Astros ate up Lance Lynn, then both Giolito and Cease started strong in the first but then pitched scared after that getting ahead but then would walk guys after starting the count 0-2/1-2 trying to get the Astros to chase junk and they did not. Inexperience not having the confidence to the kryptonite. 2022 Off field problems carried onto the field for T.A. 2023 I believe they had something like 49 blown leads so yeah and the pen had a near 5 era. 2024 just tears (Edit was wrong year typo) Now to watch the video!

Lance Lynn didn't lose all his value. A bunch of teams were interested in him and he knew he was going to be traded he said so on foul territory. There were a ton of articles about how teams were interested because of his high strikeout rate and hoping the home runs were a fluke. It was dumb, he sucked. Just cause you don't get strikeouts doesn't mean you're good and just cause you're getting a ton of strikeouts doesn't mean you're not bad. He was was worse than bad, awful with the White Sox and was about league average for the Dodgers with too many bombs. If this was 10 years ago he doesn't get traded.

The owner's favorite player is David Eckstein. While other teams are trying to find the next Pujols or Griffey Jr, the Sox leadership is trying to find the next Eckstein. That's why fans like me are stuck watching Lopez, Vaughn, Benintendi, and Fletcher lose at a historic rates. Team is full of short, slow, and weak players.

This video makes me so sad 🥲 I had so much fun this year. Went to 9 games and I live three hours away. Even with the dumpster fire we are now I’ll never forget 2021

Tony Larussa killed it all. Hahn had a handshake deal with AJ Hi ch to become the next manager and Reinsdorf overruled it and took Larussa. There was a post with Larussas face on it and AJs name lol. But at least the gram system is completely revitalized and there is finally hope once again. Just hope they actually spend money to supplement that

The Chris Sale trade was probably one of their only good moves. They were a team trending downward, and they got a hug prospect haul for a guy with 2 years of control left. The prospects have somewhat panned out, and you can't really blame them for injuries/the organization's larger failures

Feel like omitting that Reinsdorf (the actual problem and a longtime villain in MLB history) was too lazy to do a real GM search so he just promoted Chris Getz from within was a big miss

1. Never spending the money to go all in and build around the young team (this resulted in trading key players like Dane Dunning and Nick Madrigal for decent players on cheaper contracts) 2. Hiring a dinosaur team manager 10+ years removed from the game because he was buddies with the owner when there were 3-4 rock solid candidates that never even got an interview 3. One of the worst conditioning staffs/injury luck I’ve seen in the entire history of any professional sports 4. Massive lack of success with more recent prospects… and then hiring the guy who was in charge of player development to be our new gm lmao That’s all I got.

The TRADE that 100% wrecked all of it in 2021,,,Nick Magridgal for Kimbrel. They had it man,,and bringing kimbrel with an already great rhythm bullpen,messed the momentum, the cohesiveness they had which is so frck'n crucial and underestimated,,,followed by losing a sparkplug in nick was perfect in a high powered lineup. I knew it right away!! Said something at work the next day and most laughed,,, well it turned out true, just self destructed their chance that year and the rest is history. They flew to close to the sun , tried to finesse and fine tune a great team. I was so ticked.. it took a while to get over the tatis jr. Trade now this ,,, kamikazi'd their season, and future. ... they had a fun team that year,, what ashame and i wished i was prooven wrong. . . Will have a looooong rebuilding procesq,, will lose alot of fans and i could see them moving team unfortunately.

I forgot How elite that staff was!! It's like looking at the 2019 Nats now... You're like " WTFF"?! Soto, Turner, Rendon ( cough cough) , Stras, Mad Max, Bryce, Reamealto, Werth, Bell, 2 other's im forgetting, Hudson ( who's starting to catch fire in LAD after sloppy start) etc. Besides Rendon probably, the Nats would be elite today. Tho Sox would still suck even if they had that rotation still. Lol

Salvador Perez hit 48 home runs in 2020 so the Grandal stat was incorrect

What about the 2024 Sox? They're looking historically bad

Did they fall off or did they just over achieve for 1 year in a terrible AL central

What Reinsdorf has done to the White Sox is absolutely criminal. So sick of these billionaire owners deliberately tanking their teams because the cities they play in don't want to foot the bill for a new stadium when the one the team currently plays in is less than 30-years old. It's absolutely despicable.

How did the Jolly Good Fellas go winless the entire Slapball season? These things just happen.

It’s not hard to figure out. They let their leader go in abreu. They let don cooper ruin multiple first round pitchers in fulmer and burdi. They picked Zack Collins at catcher in round one and then put him behind guys. They put LaRussa in charge of a team that needed to be run by Ozzie. Team still needs to be run by Ozzie. And now the ownership is trying to see if they can complete the major league movie goal by having a team so bad they could possibly move them

People said they were going to dominate every single year from 2019 to 2022 for literally no reason. I never understood it.

Oscar Colas was the starting right fielder last year and going to be a star, and is mired in AAA for an organization that might be the worst in history. Lenyn Sosa. This org is rotten from the core.
