It’s truly amazing how the Royals continually beat the shit out of the White Sox!

I’ve come to anticipate a loss when playing these mighty KC Royals!

Never hear anyone questioning this
What bothers me regarding LaRussa as manager is that he doesn’t actually manage. He never tries to steal a base, hit and run, or bunt runners in/over. Case in point last night. The Sox were fortunate to get two early runs but could not add on the rest of the game, even though they twice had a runner at third with less than two outs - once with no outs. The first time was in the first inning and Grandall hit into a double play. Not much Tony could do here, although Grandall should not be the DH - period. The man is a double play machine. The other time I felt he needed to squeeze him in, if only because Mackenzie was striking out everyone in sight with the curve ball, which is easier to bunt than the fastball. You just knew that unless Tony got creative here, Mackenzie would strike out the side - which he did in 9 pitches. LaRussa somehow does not get the fact that his team sucks with runners in scoring position. He needs to be creative to score runs. I believe it’s called small ball.

Guardians are just a better team with a much better manager. Those two runs may just be the only two runs they score all weekend!

The comeback has begun! This game will end up 5-2 Guardians!

Let’s not swing at that breaking pitch and make Mackenzie throw strikes.

Cleveland announcers are basically laughing at Sox hitters saying they can’t touch Mackenzie!

This guy is striking out everybody so why the fuck don’t you try to squeeze him in!

The White Sox don’t score 17 runs in a month!

I think Will Smith just realized he only needs to lob the pitch right down the middle and he can get outs!

A Royals team that went scoreless the last 26 or so innings against the Twins. How pathetic! Even though they won the first two games of this series with the Astros, they are by no means fixed!

How about a leadoff bunt single with Engel!

If you are a major league player, you need to know how to bunt!

Don’t understand why you would play an inexperienced kid against Verlander. Is Leury unavailable?

Altuve is given the night off but is used as a pinch hitter late in a close game, something TLR would never do!

Engel should be required to try for a bunt single when leading off an inning.

While the Sox are playing the Astros 4 games, the Guardians will be playing these Tigers 4 games at Cleveland! Yikes!

Time to go sign Didi Gregorious. It can’t hurt!
