The Wrong Sox

Dave Dombrowski guides the Red Sox to a championship in 2018 and gets fired not even eleven months later.  Rick Hahn clinches his seventh straight year as White Sox general manager without reaching .500, and he looks to have the job for life.  What am I missing?

Does Hahn get a perpetual pass because he traded for Lucas Giolito, who struck out eight straight Royals’ batters yesterday?  Does the pass extend to pitching coach Don Cooper, who couldn’t keep Giolito from giving up two mammoth homeruns in a 6-3 loss?  I’m afraid we all know the answer to that question.

By my count, Cooper knows maybe three things (and what fun it would be to guess what they are.  Maybe the cable people could run a contest to take the place of that “authentic fan” nuisance.).  Consider that in two games with Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez pitching, Kansas City hitter launched—and I do mean launched—seven balls out of the park.  I say Sox pitchers are tipping their pitches.

What say you, Don?  And Rick?  What say you?
