Rick Hahn has not been an efficient GM. Has not gotten a good return on his payroll investments. He should be canned.

RH will probably trade our starting pitchers for more relievers.

Every White Sox pitcher tonight has pitched well. 17 Red Sox strikeouts, a season high for them. Our problem has been our terrible offense, lack of clutch hitting with RISP.

Sheets keeps making the same mistake. Swinging at balls over his head with the same bad result. No adjustment. He should be benched.

Lucas also hurt himself with the hanger to Denver’s for a 2 run homer. One pitch has been the difference so far. The errors also hurt.

OK but maybe that would work with better hitters than we have on a roster now. We have too many hitters that can’t hit a slider/ breaking pitches. The aggressive attack is not working so we should adjust.

Coaches have to start giving some take signs to those guys swinging at everything with no positive results. Show some patience, work the count and wait for a good pitch to hit. These guys will not take a pitch voluntarily otherwise. We need to change, what we are doing is not working.

Sheets swinging at a ball over his head on a 1-0 count was pathetic indeed. No patience to wait for a pitch to hit. Nobody adjusts and we keep repeating the bad habits that are not working. Where are our coaches?

What about taking some pitches. We keep swinging at the first pitch with no results. Make the pitcher work and have to throw a strike.

He is the best lead off batter that we have had this season. His only disappointment has been the lack of homers for the money invested. Otherwise he is one of our better, consistent player. IMO.

Only Oakland and the Royals have a worse record than the White Sox in the AL. We suck. Have wasted many great pitching performances and quality starts this year with poor defense and relief pitching.

And to Graceland in Memphis

Slow runners and little running game and high ground ball rate hitters = more double plays. It would be even more if we had a higher OBP and more walks.

What about a hit and run with Vaughn at the plate. He is just too slow where any ground ball on the infield with a man at first is a sure double play. If we want to manufacture some runs we need to activate the running game.

Andrus error opened the door to 2 runs for the Red Sox. 2 infield errors for the White Sox in 4 innings, not a formula for success. Our pitchers don’t have much of a margin for error.

He beat the odds. TA has a 10% fly ball rate.

One walk only and one run. Only happens to the bad teams.

The new Yermin?

It already cost us a run. His mind is still elsewhere.

Lambert had no chance against a roster like the Rangers, particularly in a hitters ballpark like GRF.

All our guys are pretty much swinging at the first pitch. Can anybody adjust or be coached to take a pitch here and there to work counts? Swinging at everything is not producing results.

This was one of the best managed game by Pedro this season.

Will sure miss Robert defense tonight.

That’s the Sox stupid way.

Laying the ground for a major salary dump, as there is no realistic chance that the Sox will make an impact in October.
