harkness99 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 never do it again.. because this has been some horrific baseball played since coming back. Baseball is an up and down sport.. I get it, but it's been so bad that I feel like someone should get fired just to show that anyone gives a fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like the all star break was the break needed to have us play to original expectations. I firmly expect us to suck the entire second half. Loss of Timmy kills the lineup; our pitching staff is very very very poor. I was going to say one of the worst in team history but then I thought that might be hyperbole.

harkness99 Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 you are probably right... we are just playing more like what we really are. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the White Sox get swept in KC I hope Renteria gets fired. I would rather have Hahn get the boot but I don't think that will happen. The team has looked horrible on this road trip. If the team keeps losing Renteria should go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneDog847 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) The Sox played way over their head in the first half. They actually have a worse run differential than KC and Miami. The second half is gonna be very ugly and the Sox will likeley finish the season 15 or so game under 500. It doesn't matter though cause 2019 is a tank year and the standings are not important.

ChiSox59 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Frankly, it was just a matter of time until this team hit a rough patch. It is not a .500ish team, especially without Timmy. The upcoming schedule is fairly manageable, but we really need to get these next 3 from the Royals if getting back to .500 is in the cards.

Our games still do not matter so nobody gets fired. It's kind of silly but we're playing a different brand of baseball. We're playing tank ball. We haven't tried to win for some time now. I don't know how the team played over its head so long. The losses will be piling up now and we can all blame the loss of Timmy. Hyperbole lovers ... how bad is our pitching staff? One of 10 worst in Sox history? Five worst? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes this team is bad but it’s also young enough where we will see up and down play all season, right now we are on one of those downward slopes.....Realistically I see them playing .500 ball the rest of the way especially with how many games are remaining in the weak AL central. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're starting to play like I thought we would on the road (lose series after series). We've been good at home, better than a normal tank team. I expect a big time nosedive in August and September; we're talking mega losing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well given the lack of pitching and actual depth this was going to be another losing year anyway so you may as well get what you can out of a bad situation...aka a high draft pick. Now if the Sox could actually draft a high pick who doesn't get injured or actually produces, than that is even better! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, anyone watching these last 5 games, as well as the first half of the season, knows that this is a low point and there's no way the team plays like this for the rest of the season.
