The White Sox have cornered the market on "baseball stupid" players both offensively, defensively and situational.

I hate these stiffs.

I hope that ump is ok, that was kind of scary

If you watched that game and took that from it, you can't enjoy baseball.

Undefeated in June Lookout Twinkies....here we come

Wins don't even feel like wins any more. There are just really bad losses, losses and not losses.

Conspiracy theory time: during grandal's at bat he fouled one off that shot straight down off the catchers leg and made direct impact on the pitch com, which you then saw go flying off into the dirt. Wonder if this broke it or made it malfunction which caused the cross up there at the end

Winning Ugly winner ! Circa 1983

If I had a nickel for every time the Sox won on a walkoff wild pitch with TA up to bat in the last year, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice. The previous incident was facing the A's last year.

That's little league s%*#. These teams are an absolute joke.

Really Yoan....

Have to give Yaz a little credit. At a game I was at earlier this year which featured a 2 hour wait for rain delay at the start, he was working in the bullpen on his pitch blocking during the delay.

It's amazing, Stone talks about his curveball not being a strike, and they damn bear swung at every one of the. Eloy did have a check swing and Moncada laid off of a 1st pitch. The Sox need a huge injection of baseball IQ.

Anthony that starts low don't swing at it. How hard is that

Stop swinging at everything!

Does Lange ever throw strikes?

Please can we lay off the pitches bouncing off the plate?

I would had rather see Romy hit for Elvis but that is hindsight. This whole offense is such a whole bunch of suck. Not a true hitter on that team. Bunch of guys that get hot on a rare occasion.

Just need two wild pitches now.

Burger should run for Vaughn.

Climate change, long covid, just a lot to ask of these guys to go out and perform.

this is a classic pitcher's duel between two good teams.

What a thrilling game here

They literally benched the two hottest hitters in the roster today. Someone make this make sense ?

Ohtani forgot that the White Sox franchise even existed and thus, forgot to add us to his no trade list

Every game is essential for the Sox at this point. Burger hits the cover off the ball at home and Romy has been hot. What are you saving them for? Play them.

No Burger. No Romy. No Bueno

If they really think that they're delusional and need to be fired immediately.

Should have just kept Narvaez lol. It's not exactly like Colome was a super cheap closer, either.

Cease vs. Lorenzen Lineups TBD.

Who do you sit from this offensive juggernaut?

I'm getting sick of asking why Burger isn't in the starting lineup at home ? What else does the guy have to do ?

Long Covid and all the injuries... oblique and back and constant issues with his leg/base. Just doesn't seem to have any consistent balance as a hitter right now. All the way down to 697.

I think it was never there tbh.......juiced ball inflated it. This is his power.

Ideally Beintendi is an 8 or 9 hitter, TA 7 hole, Robert 6 hole. My god at the team OPS. Hahn really fucked up giving out so much money up front to average players

Andrew's no gold glover, but he is better than Sheets at first

No. It has to be spent in this class.

June 3, 1925 - Sox star second baseman and future Hall of Famer Eddie Collins rapped out his 3,000th career hit. It came in a 12-7 win at Detroit. He had three hits on the afternoon. That season playing in 118 games he’d hit .346! He’d finish his 25-year career with 3,315 hits, 2,094 of them with the White Sox. June 3, 1963 - With the Sox in first place another freak injury occurred reminiscent of past bizarre circumstances that cost the team dearly. Sox first baseman Joe Cunningham, who hit .295, with 70 RBI’s and 101 walks in 1962, broke his right collarbone in Los Angeles running out a ground ball in the fifth inning. Cunningham was trying to avoid stepping on Angel’s first baseman Charlie Dees’ foot, so he twisted and lost his balance, tripping over the bag and crashing down on the ground. It was a wild throw from second baseman Billy Moran that started the sequence. He didn’t return until September. Tommy McCraw was called up to replace him but just couldn’t fill the bill. The Sox decline set in quickly after that, even though the club finished the season in second place at 94-68, 10 and a half games behind the Yankees. June 3, 2023 – It was truly a most bizarre game. The Sox beat the Tigers 2-1 at Guaranteed Rate Field with every run in the game scoring on wild pitches! That had never happened before since the live ball (1920) was introduced to the game. The Sox winning run scored in the last of the 10th when Detroit pitcher Jose Cisnero’s 97 MPH fast ball struck home plate umpire Cory Blaser in the face mask, knocking him down and bounding away from home plate. Yoan Moncada scored on the play.

I would hope at that point it would be Sosa.... but never say never

This will be a tougher matchup, as Lorenzen owned the Sox last time. Hoped Zavala would catch Cease today, but that’s not the case. Burger remains on the bench, because poor platoon guy. Meet the new Tony, same as the old Tony.

Best explanation yet of this team..... https://twitter.com/CST_soxvan/status/1665005819241328640?t=A6n7Rr0jabsBkmyAOquqlA&s=19

If KW really believes that, oh boy. But this is Bruce Levine talking so for as far as we know he imagined it.

So the Phillies and Padres both suck because they actually got to the NLCS or WS last year but are struggling this year? They put a product out on thev field that that draws sellouts and Top 5 attendance, which the White Sox haven't come close to doing for 17 years. Instead of lying down against the Dodgers' dynasty, they dare to compete with them instead of playing the Rockies' role in one of three or four smallest markets in. baseball... sounds terrible for fans. And by that narrow definition, everyone sucks. The Dodgers can't win a big game. Neither can the Yankees. The Rays make the playoffs pretty consistently, but never win it all and drive their pitching staffs into the ground. So you're only left with the Astros and Braves as the two "success fullest" franchises. Both of those teams were caught up in front office and coaching staff cheating/tampering scandals and had officials banned for life or blackballed from the sport. Nobody else remotely qualifies.

About 10 years ago I think it was on South Side Sox or maybe Bless You Boys someone wrote "the slow paper cuts of bad to mediocre baseball are a unique feature of the sport over a season, when wins are just a slow death towards unfulfillment.

Serious answer: I’d be cutting Donaldson and trading Anderson anyway so it won’t matter. Sarcastic answer: we’re in a thread about Clevinger coming off the IL I don’t think this organization gets to pretend to care about guys having dignity.

Burger is not starting in tonights game.

Over 16 plate appearances, largely driven by 1 home run, He got Tim injured, cannot field, Billy Hamilton (.625 OPS vs. RHP. .618 overall) a far superior batter vs. RHP (.587 career / .556 2023). In terms of smiles, Jerry got your smiles right here.

The next time they are within 5 of .500 will be Opening Day next season.
