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.

It really is amazing that the Indians have only won 4 of the last 15 and are only two games back. Shows how much we have been struggling and how much things would be different if we had been able to kick things into another gear. In one way we’re lucky to still be on the top of the Central… and in another way we should have a 6+ game lead with the pennant already in the bag. So frustrating… Urg… I need to fucking sleep until we win again.

Getz refused to trade top prospects to improve THIS team. Was that a decision that JR made? What a stupid, short-sighted strategy. Next year is not guaranteed. Murakami could leave after next year anyway. So wait for Ishbia the savior for 5 years or so. He will have Roch, Bonemer and a few other guys in the Minors and his Private Equity Investment firm can leverage debt.

No, regardless of Will wanted to have an appeal, he should have gone to the umpires or verbally yelled out to Colson at third. 100% on Venable… and it likely had no effect on the games outcome. Just a total brain fart.

It’s a big load of horseshit on Venable. Only time all year I’ve seen him completely out of a game. Guess we should just chalk it up to the team getting into town at 5am. They’re human.

I’ll always be an optimist for our team ( to my own detriment )… but yes, all we can hope for is a recovery tomorrow. We’re still in a better position now than ANYONE expected this past winter.
