Got hit with a paywall. Regardless, as Grifol took responsibility for this season’s disaster, he should resign IMO.

And Rocky Wirtz dies at 70 but JR is still kicking at United Center.

Add poor defense/catching to the mix.

Poor Sox roster construction. Needed to sign sluggers to play in GRF. We spent the big money on Benintendi and relievers instead.

If MLB would be like the soccer English Premier League, Sox would be relegated to AAA.

Not everyone, you missed Grandal.

Too much to expect from the clueless Pedro.

Not every team has a bad closer like Graveman, who is not a closer. Sox need to try someone else closing.

Fans are more aware of his absence because we are getting Beckham and his verbal diarrhea as his replacement.

Except Gordo please..

A cape in the middle of the summer doesn’t seem right.

That’s Pedro ball. Lots of pinch hitters and pinch runners late.

Good game to show that its never over until is over, and we should try to keep games closer. By throwing in Shaw and Banks early we made the gap too big. Last Mets two run homer hurt.

You got a point tonight, but still Shaw ERA is mind boggling.

I am missing Eloy hitting clean up even if he can’t run too well.

Pedro threw in the towel by bringing Shaw in. Shaw is our worst pitcher by far.

Good analysis. Losing Abreu did not help on the team side. Coming from a coaching role in a losing organization did not help either. He is over his head in his current role. Another Rick Hahn bad decision.

Couldn’t finish reading the article as I got hit with a Sun Times paywall, but thanks anyway. Didn’t want to subscribe.

Will have to accept that he is just a DH which needs to jog to first base, and hope he hits many homers so he can just jog around the bases, IMO.

Jake is a beast. Looks like a hybrid of Mike Trout and Kyle Schwarber. Andrew is just a short 1st baseman.

Maybe he upped his game and was motivated against the team with best record in MLB. Still overall he has not been a good 2 nd spot hitter.

At least he is batting 7 th today and not 6 th as yesterday. He is our worst hitter today IMO.

Maybe the Braves broadcasting people will upgrade and hire Gordo who is from Atlanta.

If Sox can win a series against the Braves in Atlanta, they can win a series against any other team. Should be a confidence builder.

Fortunately, we had a 2 run lead to survive the lead off homer.
