Hagen Smith and Tanner McDougal - Cue "Experiment in Terror" -Henry Mancini... for those who recall "Creature Features" late night on WGN.

Schultz and sandman Let's go win a game tomorrow

One frustrating thing is that they should have had Castillo start tonight and Schultz last night. Basically punted tonight’s game against a divisional opponent.

Well, will make games even more interesting

Bonemer...LOL. It is a little late to conduct that experiment.

If Bonemer was more experienced I’d say bring him up too but I think it would be a major rush job and they can’t afford to ruin him.

I don’t think it was a huge deal. Schultz was getting rocked anyway. Honestly that probably saved the first inning from being 6-0 instead of 2-0.

They will probably be early bullpen guys and not get many stressful innings. Wish we had a couple hitters we could bring into the fold

Sick

This is something I’d expect 2021 TLR to do

Worried that Smith will walk too many. Hope I am wrong.

Cantillo hasn't been great. I know he's a lefty but there is a huge gap between what we saw tonight and him.

Pitching him today, he should be on schedule. Good for everyone involved. Fedde is much more effective as a starter then a reliever.

Seems like Fedde will be back in the rotation after this.

Gonna be a long weekend I’m afraid. Sox have to deal with 2nd half Gavin tomorrow, who is on a 5 game double digit K streak. Then another lefty Sunday which means Venable will trot out his God awful LHP lineup.

There should be punishment that is handed down by the FO to Venable. Not sure what it would be, but your job is literally to put your team in the best position for success, and he failed in a huge way, after a 13 inning game the night before. I don’t care that he “owned up” to the mistake. You teach your players to be focused and not make mental errors, Venable’s main job duties are to sit on a bench for 2.5 hours a night. You can’t make that mistake at this level, and their should be repercussions for his actions

They may as well shut him down right now. He is completely ineffective and he is nearing his innings limit anyways. How much do they want to continue to shatter any confidence he has remaining? Ironically, this is where Mason Adams could have helped.

One thing we can agree on, Schultz is not the answer at least not yet. Maybe after playing over their heads for four months reality is creeping in? As others has posted they really didn't go all out to address their holes did they?

Unless they are really banking on one of Thorpe/Smith/Urquidy to step up, it was not a wise decision to just settle for Castillo. They needed a second starter. A better catcher than Bart would have been nice as well but the price was high. I still don’t get the Doyle acquisition when you end up dumping two outfielders to get him.

We have to start relying on our own wins instead of our divisional opponents losing. Nice that we happen to be playing one of them… maybe… May the sprit of Ozzie lead them to a much needed and long overdue winner tomorrow!

The Press DemocratWhite Sox manager says he was calling for time, not motio...OAKLAND – Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen caused some unintentional confusion that threw off the network and had A’s manager Ken Macha fuming.As the A’s were trying to mount a come back from areminiscent of this. I remember the next day Ozzie duct taped L and R on both sides of his jacket.

Kind of wild that St. Louis allowed a 10 of 10 baseball name in Nootbar to be traded. I’d rather have Prieto than Pereia anyhow. 😆

This team has shown incredible resilience. Hope they use the emotion of tomorrow to fire them to victory.
