Now is the time to give Robert a day off. Resting him when he was hot did not work out.

The Rays know how to work the count. The don’t swing at balls out of the strike zone and make opposing pitchers go to a lot of 3 ball counts. They are the anti-White-Sox.

Too bad they’re both solo homers!

If this team is going to win, their starting pitchers have to improve their pitch counts. Cease is already in the 90’s in the fourth inning! Their bullpen cannot cover 4-5 innings.

Maybe someone needs to tell these players that leading the league in swinging at balls out of the strike zone is not a good thing.

First inning and the Sox pitcher already has made 20 more pitches than his opponent.

Game over!

Lineup isn’t going to matter today!

They lost a great opportunity to gain on all the teams in the Central!

I seriously doubt they will win a single game the rest of April!

I see a long losing streak in their future.

Lambert could be the savior of the bullpen.

Allowing Colas to hit vs a lefty with the bases loaded shows how clueless Grifol is!

Precisely. It was their inability to beat up on the likes of KC that cost them last year. I'm sure Cy Keller and Cy Singer, not to mention Zack Greinke, will stifle this offense as it did last year.

Even if MLB had the same unbalanced schedule as last year, it would not make a difference. I don't see this team faring well against their own division. With 52 games against the Central, I would put the over under at about 20 wins....and I'd take the under.

Through 3 inning, Clevenger has over 70 pitches and Walker has less than 40. Therein lies part of the problem. The pitch count of Sox pitchers and the inability to work counts on offense.

There’s this spot in the batting order called the DH where the player doesn’t have to play the field. Perfect position for Burger. Trade Eloy since he spends most of his time on the disabled list anyway.

This team really needs to improve on working the count.

Here we go!

Vaughn has had a solid day at first base.

8 pitch inning for Graveman. No reason he can’t pitch one more.

This offense is still pathetic!

Not adding on runs will come back to haunt them!

They’ve already used up their one inning.

I assure you they can!
