Rick Hahn’s patience has been tested by the White Sox’ slow start, but believes the club will course-correct by season’s end.
"I feel like we've endured what will hopefully be our toughest part of the schedule, certainly from an opponent standpoint but more importantly from a manpower standpoint," Hahn said."We expect that to improve here over the coming weeks."
"Obviously, there have been some stretches that have been pretty disappointing, ruts that — on the positive side — we've been able to pull ourselves out of, but — on the negative — you don't ever want to endure," Hahn said."I think right now in that clubhouse and that coaches' room, there's a lot of optimism and excitement to get some of these guys back and build on some of the momentum from this past weekend.
"Players tend not to fundamentally just lose ability. It doesn’t just evaporate. Certainly guys decline as they get older, but it tends not to just evaporate on them. So many of the players that have delivered success in the past can be reasonably counted on barring injury to produce at a similar level going forward," Hahn said."Not too dissimilar from that, coaches don’t lose the ability to coach.
Fans certainly aren't satisfied, which Hahn noted has led to an influx of handwritten letters being sent to his desk. Some offer trade suggestions, others vented frustrations on paper.
