5-1 Marlins, at least the day isn't totally bad.

One thing this team does well is making pitchers look better than they are.

EE is simply terrible, how much more of him do we have to see?

Scary that they are hitting our #2 pitcher like this, can imagine what they will do to whoever we throw out there tomorrow.

Yes, Giolito cannot put us in a hole from the start. Ideally we put up 2 or 3 runs in the top of the 1st!

yes, I guess I am just focused on winning this 1st round and it would mess with the ALDS. If Giolito/Kuechel pitch as expected we should have a good shot of winning 2-0 and moving on.

Guess I have confidence in our hitters facing a lefty, not necessarily otherwise. You don't have to look further than yesterday to see that we have a tendency to make average pitchers(Alzolay) look like all-stars. I am pretty confident Kuechel could hold his own or more against Bassitt for 6 innings, but if it turns into a battle of bullpens it turns into a coin flip. I just like the idea of having a major pitching advantage if we get to a game 3. If we tee off on Bassitt in game 2 then whoever we run out there should be good enough for us to win and we have a rested Kuechel for game 1 of ALDS.

After seeing this if we win game 1 I think we have Keuchel pitch game 3.

Giolito on 1 day rest.

Eventually I think he might be good in the 2 spot, but he has batted 9th all season so I wouldn't change it now.

3 hits for Robert is very encouraging

Reds took the lead

Minnesota is in a position to pick who they want to play. They know we are most likely going to lose so if they go for the win they want to play us and if they lay down they want Houston.

Exactly, if he is still starting games next season then the White Sox aren't too serious about winning a championship.

I agree, but honestly I kind of expect what he did today every time he starts.

It's great Anderson having his worst stretch of the season heading into the playoffs.

Too bad our hitters took off the first half of the game.

Yes, it is one stupid move after another with him.

Cruz hit into double play lol

WTH is he doing? Is he going to use Colome in the 9th?

Benetti just said if Twins and Oakland win then Twins the 2 seed and we go there.

Exactly how I feel. Even if we lose 2-0 at least we will have 2 competent pitchers starting the games.

Was just thinking I would have a hard time picking the pitchers for the playoff roster. I can only think of maybe 7 that I would want.

yes, leaving the field and taking the forfeit would be less embarrassing.

If the last week is what we see in the playoffs I would rather they pack up and go home today.
