Look at Ray Ray Run

1. He has said he'd get starter pitch counts to that level before playoffs 2. didn't like using Heuer at all, bullpen is short, but playoffs have no days off so want to see it 3. If he's on post-season roster, he needs to pitch back to back days 4. Colome said he had an inning (agree HE SHOULD NOT PITCH) I agree on 2 and 4, but no idea who you use without Heuer. They should be using Cishek, Ruiz and Gio if it means keeping those guys fresh for a postseason run. 4th seed 1st seed doesnt matter.

It's not. The seasons have peaks and valleys. The Sox won 20 of 25 games; that's remarkable, that's called a peak. No team plays .800 baseball all year. The Sox now are in a bit of a valley, just as they started the season. GUess what? They're win percentage is still .607. That's a 98 win team; you guys can go ahead and bump the preseason win projections, but I'm 99% sure not many predicted a 98 win team. The valleys for good teams hurt MORE because the games are closer. Our valleys last year were 8-0 blowouts. So many here wear the emotions of a baseball game likes it's an NFL SUnday. It's nonsense. Seasons run in runs; hitting can be contagious, bullpens run together frequently, SP tend to get hot together. It's human nature. It's how all large sample games work; it's a collection of many small samples which have a lot of noise. The White Sox aren't hitting. They're still a good hitting team. You should be excited that the way the Sox are losing is a way that won't be possible in the playoffs; because those pitchers won't be used. Baseball is a long season. It's fun to get excited but so many people lose the grander picture. Right now the Sox are worried about staying healthy first, and staying in the top 4 seeds second. Honestly they probably don't care as much about a division this year as others due to the top 4 seed rule. You can get angry that you think these games are all must wins, but it's just not being treated that way. 6 months ago we were all just begging for baseball. COVID had overcome. I made a guarantee to myself then that if we got baseball, I would enjoy it. I have been miserable watching this team for the past few years; this year, they're fun, exciting, competitive and on pace to be a NINETY EIGHT WIN team. Have they been consistent? No, but almost NO TEAM is. I've read that people aren't excited for the playoffs, and they're in football mode and that this team stinks now. What in the fuck? They've outperformed every expectation put in front of them, and we're going to see post-season baseball for the first time in 12 years while suffering in the midst of a financial crisis and a pandemic and people want to complain because they didn't win TWO games? People are taking this for granted, and it's that which is frustrating to a fan and a human in this world we live in. You don't like what you're watching, then watch something else... but calling this a trash product when these guys are putting a top notch product on the field is pure nonsense. Go Sox! ANd Luis Robert is going to shut a lot of dumb asses up come October. Rant over.

again they scored 2 runs. Anyoje logical knows the issues right now is the offense. The pitching staff is going to be preserved and set up for playoffs first and foremost.

you speak in nonsense sometimes. Did you think this was a .695 team before the season? Lol Even now they'd be on pace to win 98 games. This is called a baseball. It has ups and downs. Did you expect them to be a 98 win team? Lol its so hilarious to read all these takes. Everyone who projected the sox to won 98 games before the season raise your hand. Bad losses happen to every team

Sox scored 2 runs in 9 innings and people crying about bullpen usage lol. Were they suppose to use Cordero even if they wanted to rest him?

sox worried about being healthy, not falling out of top 4 seeding. Someone called these the highest leverage innings of the year lol. Its very clear the sox don't feel that way. They'd rather have their bullpen guys healthy in a week. Have at it eberyone. The offense is the concern. They got 5 days to find their timing l.

Lol

Sox will score 3-4 off Bieber tomorrow and get the win. Have a great night.

yeah, his call for sure in some way usually. my question on this one is if the call was to stay with colome, and the back up was foster. dont put it past a MLB coach to not think of a third option and not be prepared for one.

Those "bad teams" are 42-44 vs all teams that aren't the White Sox. Amazing how they're "really" bad when they play everyone else near .500. You have to be a troll.

another thing sox talk "knows" better than what really happens with an ejection.

sox own hand and they own lefties. keeping the game right there almost worked out.

Foster was struggling but this was his third time pitching in 4 nights and he was already at 20 pitches. The other time Foster pitched 3 times in 4 nights this year he gave up 2 ER in his 3rd outing. He did the same tonight.

an 8-5 game isn't a win. pretending it is is pure nonsense. Ruiz literally just gave up a three run homerun.

at this point, i think the sox are more worried about not using arms in the bullpen and already were pushing foster. they're more worried about being fresh next week. judge that however you wish. i think they still are trying to win but they wont stretch guys to do it.

colome was hurt. he wanted to stick with him. didnt want to push fosters pitch count higher. shit happens in one baseball game, that's why there's no point in judging or throwing a fit. Ruiz is awful, he also wont be pitching in the playoffs. shit happens.

Colome was hurt. Weird, everyone here told me he should have stayed out anyway,

i learned not to take the result of one baseball game for much.

Since August 31st, Robert has played in 20 games. He has had a positive wRC+ in 7, and a negative in 13. That's been his huge slump. He's had 13 bad games. Hilarious to read the takes here. A send down lol. He's in the top 40 in position player WAR. The takes here are so stupid it's honestly breathtaking. .Luis Robert has the same WAR as Eloy.

another meatball. yes, he's been a total bust. lol. you deserve a losing product.

yeah, he sucks and the team sucks. so turn it off and stop watching. move on. i can tell youve never learned how to lose at anything in your life. the world is ending every time.

he's still an overall plus offensively and nearly a 2 WAR player. struggles happen. no one would be getting demoted.

so do i think if the slump went on twice as long as he's been slumping they might consider it? uh... i guess. do i think that's likely because he's slumped for 14 games, no.

oh and rickys fault when he wasnt managing. game threads are like watching a people with the emotional composure of a high schooler.
