00:00That is why the larger picture is so depressing and daunting, regardless of the celebration
00:07of a move being made.
00:09Because we called it out when they assembled his staff.
00:14And all of a sudden it was easy to see, okay, well this is an ownership guy.
00:19This is a gets guy.
00:21These people...
00:22This is a Rick guy.
00:23That's a Kenny guy.
00:24And all it did was perpetuate the whispers and backstabbing and weaselly nature of the
00:31White Sox.
00:32You got one weasel out.
00:33Are you going to hire another weasel?
00:37Because this is the culture you have there.
00:39Is this person going to be allowed to hire their staff so they can know that people are
00:45all working to the same ends with the same agendas?
00:49Instead of you hiring their bench coach.
00:51Yes.
00:52You hire the bench coach first with experience as a manager and say, oh, this guy's the
00:56bench coach.
00:57But you're going to be the manager and here's a hitting coach and here's the pitching coach
01:01who's hired by this person.
01:02It was all a mess.
01:04Until you change that culture, all you're doing is finding another way to end up with
01:10similar results and lack of trust and whisper campaigns and players looking at each other
01:16like to whom do we answer?
01:17Because you still got this gibbering old coot at the top of your baseball organization.
01:23He's still there.
01:25Yeah, but he's not going anywhere.
01:31All I that's I talk about it all the time.
01:35Someone owns something that you love.
01:38He's not going anywhere.
01:40And now it's a matter of will he be willing to find people that are charismatic enough
01:48to challenge him in a way that he doesn't think is threatening?
01:53That's that's the if we want to be real, that's the miracle of what Kenny and Rick did for
02:00at least a decade, at least the last decade that they were involved in decision.
02:05They kept the levy from cracking.
02:07Yes.
