Really bad. The team, other than Vaughn, looked listless and low energy tonight. Completely deflated after Yoan not sliding and missing the plate. Let’s bring Eloy In ASAP. We need to inject some change and some energy into the team.

This BS about tracking Cleveland is a distraction and minimizes the effect of Frequent losses recently. We need to have a sense of urgency regardless what Cleveland or anyone else is doing!

He is looking better tonight than Ruiz, Heuer and Burr have looked recently

I guess being a switch hitter fits into TLR obsession of righty-lefty and Lefty-righty match ups, but 1-21 is unacceptable and we should try someone else.

Any play that Collins is involved in is a crap shoot. Outcome is not predictable and is often bad.

Do you actually believe that? I have watched most White Sox and there have been many bad running plays. Quite a few by Madrigal who is out now as well as Moncada. If the Sox are the best running team every other team really sucks big time!

He did not even know that he had walked. His throw to the plate was crap. He does not look focused tonight.

We are not a good base running team.

Pinch hitting Burger against Burnes was also a boneheaded move, as we know he can’t hit the slider or cutter. Would have preferred the more veteran Engel or even Hamilton.

He should have seen or felt that he missed the plate, so go back and step on it!

Burger had no chance. He should have been given the take sign. After Burnes walked in a run, Burger swung at 3 pitches and TA at the first pitch, all breaking balls. Burger should be sent back to the minors. He can’t hit a breaking ball. I would have preferred Engel or even Hamilton as pinch hitter. What about. Mendick ?Anyone but Burger.

Moncada should have slid at home and we would have avoided all this drama.

Another bone head running play by Yoan. Should have gone back and stepped on the plate. This umpire crew sucks complicating this play.

This is a vent out frustration board.

He has limited the damage somewhat tonight. Has not been helped by the D. The last 2 runs hurt with failure to make an out on the bunt.

Particularly against the better teams and elite pitching, when we can’t hide our flaws.

Collins - Garcia defensive pairing is Minor league. Appears Abreu -Collins defensive pairing is also sub par. Sox are looking like a AAA team or worse tonight.

Cancel the postgame press conference. Too bad Abreu overran second base. Not our day so far. Well at least we got a hit.

Leury is an adequate part time utility guy not meant to be playing every game.

But Burnes have gotten strike calls on at least 2 balls out of the zone. At this rate, the Sox may be shutout tonight. Hope I am wrong.

Particularly against elite pitching. We have too many AAA type hitters in the line up nowadays with lack of plate discipline.

Horrible Keystone cops type defense unworthy of a first place team on the 2nd inning. Dodged a bullet. Could have been 4-0 now.

At least every breaking pitch. Most would be unhittable anyway.

Nonetheless, Vaughn had the best at bat so far. Worked the count well.

Stoney said he had problems with the sun/shadows while warming up.
