It is hard for the Sox to win games At GRF without hitting homers. We are getting out homered practically every game. Better put in Eloy, Grandal or whoever else can at least potentially hit home runs. Our current line up is not aligned to GRF homer friendliness. That is why I called for Hahn to sign Joc Pederson and/ or Kyle Schwarber in free agency instead on putting all the money in relievers.

That’s TLR ball. With ReyLo in the 10 th last night we had a chance, he has not given up a homer to the last 150 batters he is faced.

Getting out homered at GRF once again. That is the main reason why the Sox have a losing record at home and a large minus 50+ run differential. Our homer friendly park has become a liability for our current homer poor roster.

No adjustments whatsoever. Invariable grounds the ball to the left side with RISP and goes the other way with nobody on. Should try to hit the ball the other way also with RISP. Also no patience, hardly ever walks and he is lead off hitter…

I think part of the problem with Moncada and others is that they were over paid from the start, and they became content fat cats, losing initiative and drive. Don’t forget that Moncada was making something like $30/ month in Cuba and then suddenly he is a multimillionaire. Not everybody can manage sudden wealth well, particularly young men. IMO.

Conversely, if we lose tonight last night’s loss will feel much worse.

Less than 100 for sure. Some in the moronic-idiotic range.

The memo was don’t let Buxton beat us. Don’t know if TLR read it.

Hi Mom

One of the main reasons why we have such a terrible home record. Our opposition is outhomering the Sox at homer friendly GRF.

Major unforced error.

Put them in a cruise around the world coming back in November.

Only explanation is lack of focus and baseball fundamentals and incredible stupidity on the part of Yoan.

Engel was very close to second base when he took off as Moncada was barreling down. Engel should gone back to second and tag the base before he started running. At least we would have had a man on 3 rd with 2 out and saved the embarrassing triple play, that will put the Sox in laughingstock lore forever.

If he thought it was a home run why was he running so hard? I think Moncada assumed that Buxton was not going to make that catch. It was a terrible play by Moncada in a tied game late. He lost focus and showed lack of fundamentals.

That is why we need a fiery manager, that can kick some ass and bring accountability into play. TLR is the wrong man to manage this bunch.

Engel didn't tag that is why there was the triple play.

Hahn should have spent the Kelly money instead on a good every day lefty outfielder. Hahn seems obsessed with relievers instead. The Needless Kimbrel acquisition last season started the decline of the Sox.

They are in alternate denial universe. Out of touch with reality.

Christmas in July. Sox wrapped a gift win for the Twins. - Robert awful defense on the 2 Arraez doubles. - taking slugger Sheets out for pinch runner in a tied game late and no outs, and not being available to hit in the 9th in a tied game. - Moncada and Engel running blunder resulting in only 5-3 triple play in history. - No coaching at first yelling to Moncada to stay put or come back to first. - Joe Kelly fiasco in the 10th. Including walking two who both scored. - Letting Kelly pitch to the lefty with Banks ready in the bullpen, which cost another 2 runs. And on and on. Chicago Blunder Sox at work tonight. It is tough to be a White Sox fan.

Without the running blunder, it would have been men on first and third with one out in a tied game, with Hendriks and Graveman ready to protect a lead. Would have liked our chances in that scenario.

No sense of urgency. No focus. No coaching. No accountability.

JR happy he saved some money on fireworks tonight.

TA was pitched a total of 6 balls out of the zone and he managed to strike out. He has been a bust with RISP swinging at everything.

Kelly with two walks in the 10 th which both scored it is unacceptable for a quality reliever. He also was left in one batter too long and Cairo let him pitch to a lefty with Banks ready. Major disappointment with Kelly.
