Runners get on and we can’t get them in yet. Gotta hold them at 2 and break it open at the plate! Most of that has not been luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 1 minute ago, Dick Allen said: He was holding the runner on. Positioning was implied. It was very unlucky for the Sox an automatic DP. And offensively Yoan was doing the smart thing and trying to hit the hole going the other way to take advantage of it.

South Side Hit Men Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 1 minute ago, Chicago White Sox said: Absolutely embarrassing at-bat from Vaughn. I have zero concerns long-term, but clearly he isn’t right right now. Tony shouldn't have sat him the final week (one start) if he planned on playing him in the playoffs. How are you supposed to have timing, trying to get out of a September slump, with 10 days off? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a double down the line. Again he was holding the runner on. Every 1B would have made the play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Look at Ray Ray Run Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 I'm going to watch in peace with Crede. Hoping for a little good dog luck. The overreactions and hot takes are hurting the experience ha. Go Sox! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idiot is looking for attention or something. Did they win a bad division? Yes. Do they have issues defensively? Yes. But so do a lot of other teams. And to the points you listed above, calling them mediocre is a fucking joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironic they thought Hernandez was going to be one of those guys with his career history being the polar opposite prior to this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YourWhatHurts Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 1 minute ago, almagest said: I don't disagree with Alyson right now. This is the team we saw for long stretches in the second half, especially on the road. It shouldn't be surprising. We need to keep the Astros at 2 runs and grind away. Get lucky and tie or take the lead. Any more runs given up will be tough to overcome, given how bad the offense looks right now. They have a couple of question marks, like D behind the plate, problems with young hitters learning at the plate, etc. Every team in baseball has warts. Great, ours are more on display. But HOU has their warts, too. A 2 run HR changes things very quickly and that Framber fuckhead hung a curveball in the middle of the plate first pitch to Vaughn. He can't do that stuff forever.

Harry Chappas Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 3 minutes ago, fathom said: Incredibly disappointing second half of the season Seems like he had never played a full MLB season before. He is not the issue nor Engel or Garcia. I give Vaughn credit he handled more adversity as a player than some players on this team are capable of as professional athletes. The top 6 in our lineup have a .417 OBP in this game and we have 1 run. Zero clutch hitting and ability to string good at bats together. These are the guys paid to produce and are failing not Vaughn, Engel and Garcia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
