Honestly, getting swept by a bad team sucks, but look at all the pitching matchups. We should have won three of four minimum. This offense sucks a giant you know what right now and a lack of talent only explains part of it. We don’t have a single player with 10 HRs right now and it’s June 26th. Only two other teams don’t have a player with 10 HRs in the Tigers & A’s, who are two of the worst six teams in all of baseball. How is that fucking possible? We have gone from 3rd to 19th to 26th in total HRs in the three seasons under Menechino despite most of the same talent. Yes, injuries have played a part here, but when the entire team has seen a massive reduction in power in such a short period of time and significant increase in groundball rate it’s very clear this goes beyond pure talent and is at least somewhat approach related. There are so many people responsible for this shit show, but the reality is there one non player who is an easy sacrifice and that’s Menechino. I’m sure he’s a great guy who works hard, but whatever he’s doing is not working and it’s time to see if someone else can get through to these guys. How much of an impact it would make remains to be seen, but the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over & over and expecting a different result and right now that’s exactly what we’re doing by retaining Menechino as hitting coach.

I hate this season.

Don’t even know what to say. Try not to get swept? Or do get swept at home so that perhaps the national sports media hammers this org for hiring a drunken dinosaur corpse do mismanage this squad? IDK.

I would've put Sosa out in LF....might as well start screwing with his development sooner rather than later.

The O’w have hungry young players that play hard, good team defense, a good bullpen and competent management. The Sox are injured, full of banged up vets coasting, bad defense, bad bullpen and Krusty the clown managing.

Why are we mad at the sun?

Just kill me.

Go look at injuries across baseball. Injuries aren't the issue. Roster construction, player usage and baseball stupid from Chairman on down to numerous players are the issue. Leury Garcia is the worst hitter in baseball and he is on a brand new 3 yr $15M contract......that's it, that's what is wrong with this moronic embarassing franchise. This organization cannot find anyone else capable of being the not worst player in baseball.

Just to make one positive post in this truly miserable thread so far: Oscar Colas in June 94 PA: .379 .415 .563 .978 Colson Montgomery June 84 PA : .403 .476 .522 .955 He also got promoted to Winston-Salem (A+) . In his 1st 2 games he went 4/9 with a HR.

It could have tho. Sox have lost at least a dozen very winnable games to date largely due to poor in game management. Even if they win just half of those, they’re in first place. 1/3, they’re 1.5 GB. The injuries have been brutal and difficult to overcome, but they’re just exacerbated by a manager that presses all the wrong buttons.

That would be disrespectful to the game and the opposition.

Should be McGuire

My two favorite savages are savaging!

you're the first person i've ever seen describe andrew as fat

Amen.

There is something terrifying about that first car ride. I think it’s just that the mom just completed an arduous, taxing journey without a hitch and you just have to hit a pedal to go zoom and if you hit a curb everyone will kill you. much harder for a man

LIAR, LIAR.

At least in April we had dreams...it's all nightmares now.

They’re embarrassed to be playing in-front of friends and family?

Come to think of it, TLR is a big enough black hole that launching him into the sun might consume it whole. Damn that’s depressing. Can’t even dispose of this fuck without dooming the entire solar system…

We did go backward. We went backward from 2013 to 2019 and 3 of those years were intentional. Just starting to feel like this franchise is cursed. If it's not the front office making stupid decisions, it's a global pandemic. If it's not a global pandemic, it's the very real threat of a lockout. If it's not a lockout, it's the manager. If it's not the manager, it's injuries (which let's be real n injuries have not stopped since the rebuild began.) I was extremely optimistic when this rebuild began. Fully onboard, completely on Rick, Kenny and Jerry's side, pretty much defending all of their moves. Boy do I feel duped. I'm at a loss. Either the franchise really does need a complete change in ownership, like many here have been saying for years or they've had the absolute worst luck in the world. In any case, what we are seeing unfold is extremely sad and this team is no where near where it should be at this point in time. And what reason is there to believe it will change anytime soon? You can't use the schedule as a reason anymore... they're about to get swept by the freaking Baltimore Orioles and fall 5 games below .500 at the end of June.

I wouldn’t make Cairo the permanent manager even if he took over tomorrow and led them to the Division title. They need to wipe that entire coaching staff out along with LaRussa. Enough with the dinosaur philosophy the Sox continue to run out there year after year

@Tnetennba please disregard my previous post and carry on as you see fit.* *I do apologize for trying to bring any rational or even semi-rational thought into a GT....it will not happen again....this evening.

To tell you the truth, I don't care about the All-Star game. The game means nothing. It would be our luck that a Sox player would get hurt. Take the days off.

“Is that all correct?” had me dying of laughter

That's just wrong.

I am completely surprised how durable Montgomerys approach and patience has been in his career thus far.

fat vaughn with a sac fly

These bitches love Sosa.

Great start for Martin (9 K, 1H, 0 R, 4 IP) and solid start for Dalquist (4 K, 1 BB, 1 R, 4 IP).

Low Energy Jeb! with the one pitch, one out at bat.

I ran it through MidJourney

The 22 marketing campaign

If we can't teach him to hit the ball into the ground, who will?

He’ll need the Brute squad and a wheelbarrow to get him around the bases too.

Yes....he's only "mostly dead"

I agree. The guy busts his a** 100% of the time.

Each game presents it's own recurring set of problems for the White Sox and that seems very likely to continue. Who would have thought before this series with the Orioles that the White Sox would be struggling to win just one game. Heck, many of us thought Chicago would take at least 3 out of 4. How wrong we were as they are now one game away from being swept, talk about a huge demoralizing 4 game set, sheesh. I honestly believe this team has quit on TLR, plain and simple. There is absolutely no excuse for what we as fans have seen on the field this season and especially in this series. Once again, I'm not giving up on the team but I'm definitely not very hopeful that things will get any better the rest of the season.

We have spent the last two seasons going backwards.

They aren’t hitting the ball out of the park.

Sometimes when you win, you really lose. And sometimes when you lose, you really win. And sometimes when you win or lose, you actually tie, and sometimes when you tie, you actually win or lose. Winning or losing is all one organic mechanism, from which one extracts what one needs

Stay off the drugs.

Not sure if serious, but Tony may have been a good manager at some point, but that version of him is longgggggggggggg gone

It’s not up to Eloy. If he wants to play, he DHs. That simple.

TLR was hired with the excuse that he would lead the Sox to post season success due to his 'experience and ability'. Last season they were awful post season and were out after 1 series, so TLR FAILED. This season they are tanking the regular season and will most likely fail to qualify for post season, so again TLR FAILED. All this with the biggest budget the Sox have had for years.

Another victim of modern baseball: The no hitter. Does anybody really care if 2-3 pitchers combine on a no hitter? Because of modern baseball (pitchers never throwing complete games) the Nolan Ryan type of no hitter is an endangered species. Does anybody agree with me that a combined no hitter is one, big yawn? Only no hitters that matter are by ONE pitcher working the whole game. I stand by that. A complete game was part of baseball lore, a thing of beauty by Buehrle and many other pitchers. Good luck getting players in the Hall of Fame in the future. W/L record which was so important in a starter getting in the hall (300 wins was a huge Hall of Fame deal) now is totally meaningless. Waht will be the standard for pitchers? Ks vs innings pitched? I guess closers can still rack up a lot of saves that the Hall would be interested in maybe. Hitters? I guess the only standard for the Hall consideration will be WAR. Players won't be smashing 3000 hits with players considered over the hill now at 36 or so. Players 'might' still be bashing a lot of homers, though, so I guess 500-600 career homers might still be possible and catch the Hall's eye. However with HR and K the only outcomes of at bats when the ball is lively, the home run stat might not get ya in the Hall either. We actually might have too many with 500 hrs. Batting average ... meaningless now for Hall consideration. And RBIs? Not important either. Stolen bases? LOL. Rest in peace stat book of Ricky Henderson and Tim Raines in his prime.I guess it'll be WAR combined with longevity. If you have a great WAR over 10 or more years that mite get u in the new hall. So sad.

Praying for a sweep. This has to stop. I was thinking of writing a book. The working title is: The Tony Larussa story; The death of shame.

You are going to throw out your back carrying Tony around like that.

Fire Tony so that fans can focus on how this team really sucks down to its core players. .
