So It Goes

This is the world Jerry Reinsdorf created and Rick Hahn operates in: Hahn, having failed with one rebuild, gets to embark on another. Know this about Hahn’s grasp of baseball. To replace the departed Lucas Giolito, the Sox called up lefthander Sammy Peralta. The reliever has a 3-5 record along with a 5.34 ERA. What does that say? Well, for one it says something about Triple-A Charlotte, which has a 38-60 record. I guess we should be happy Hahn didn’t call up anyone from Double-A Birmingham. The Knights are 33-59 so far on the season. Sox manager Mickey Mouse is another bit of Hahn’s handiwork. Back on Tuesday, Mouse talked about instilling a winning culture on the South Side. That was three losses ago. The Mouse-Sox now have a six-game losing streaking, falling 6-3 to the Guardians at home last night. Jake Burger hit two homers, though, and one the night before. That gives him twenty-four on the season, or ten more than Yoan Moncada has RBIs on the season. But guess who gets to stay at third base and who has to shift over to second? Burger is listed at 230 pounds, which is fine for a corner infielder. In case you were wondering, Nellie Fox weighed 160 when he played second base, oh, so long ago. Moncada is listed at 225, and I’m guessing that’s at least twenty pounds of muscle too much, given all the oblique problems he’s had. But what do I know in comparison to Jerry Reinsdorf and Rick Hahn?
