Spumoni Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Lucas Giolito vs. Zack Greinke Let's hope this team can put something together against an ancient Greinke and take the series. Lucas should at least give us a shot, we've won his last two. Someone else may need to post the lineup when it comes out, looking like a hectic work day for me.

A-Train to 35th Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 (edited) SS- ANDERSON CF- ROBERT 3B- MONCADA 1B- VAUGHN DH- ABREU/GRANDAL/SHEETS C- GRANDAL/McGUIRE LF POLLOCK RF ENGEL 2B HARRISON/LEURY It's not that hard Tony, play them don't rest them until we are well over .500 You are only allowed to alter the DH, 2B and C, but let the rest of them play for 14-30 games without a rest.

caulfield12 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/batvspitch/_/id/5883/zack-greinke Probably should have rested TA against Greinke instead. Harrison hasn't hit him well at all. Probably see Sheets again, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTruth05 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 This team has made me something worse than annoyed and that's apathetic. Even when they win you just scratch your head as to how this team has fallen off a cliff to where they are sweating out these games. Hard to look past the struggles when they are playing like this since last year's ASB. Feels bad man 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels bad man It actually has felt bad since the day Tony was re-hired, the bewilderment and taste in my mouth has only grown every day this shell of a man is allowed to manage a MLB team. I was ok with giving him the benefit of the doubt at first, but it has only gotten worse every game he's allowed to manage. Tony only wants the players to "like" him. He won't sit them for not hustling or do anything to hurt their ego's or inject some life into the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLRDS (Tony LaRussa Derangement System) You think, maybe, the problem could be this team can't hit a lick? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 We've lost 18 games. Tony is responsible for 12, injuries a couple, Hahn takes a couple for bad trades and moves. We should be undefeated. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team had a better winning percentage in 2020 and lost in the first round of the playoffs, just like with Tony. The manager got fired. Everyone knew it was the correct move. Then they bring in this guy because JR wants to right what he considers a personal wrong. He may have done himself a solid, but he wronged his team, his management staff, and all the fans. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is TA, Robert, and Grandal supposed to carry the entire team? There are 6 other lineup spots to fill and they all suck. You have Vaughn who has looked shaky lately but overall been a bright spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Last time out the White Sox got 5 hits and 3 runs off Greinke in 6 innings, including a Burger home run. Lucas hasn't faced Kansas City yet this year but somehow he had a 5.57 ERA against KC in 2021 in 4 outings. Hard to believe their offense can put up those kind of numbers against him especially with Perez out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see an entire team under-performing, and giving some of the worst defensive production I have ever seen from a team with World Series aspirations, under a manager who was supposed to have everyone playing "the right way", and it seems WAAAAY too coincidental to all be happening at once. Jose Abreu talking about leaving. Tim Anderson playing defense worse than he did as a rookie. Almost every single hitter we have is having one of their worst starts ever. The pen is just a dumpster fire, even the guys who have histories of pitching well are having extremely bad outings way more often than their histories would indicate they should. You see this as 26 coincidences. I see it as 1. Why is everyone failing all at once? This is literally Tony's job. 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
