Chimpton

I think this series sums up where the White Sox are at the moment. If all elements of the team play well, they are a .500 team, or even slightly better, if not they are a bad team. Unfortunately, the players on the current squad are not consistent enough to produce their best or even near their best on a regular basis. One or more element of fielding, batting or pitching seems to go missing in too many games. That was a winnable game last night but the bullpen let us down, again, and the hitting with RISP let us down, again.

At least the team is showing a bit more fight and desire, obviously 3 wins helps that, and having Hamilton up who has a lot of hustle adds to that. Hopefully the good night for Eloy is a sign that his bat is warming up. Any injury to Burger would be a real negative, especially as there is no sign of Moncada returning anytime soon.

Genuine question from someone who is not an expert on these things. But given that this season is pretty much over already from a challenging point of view, would it be better for the likes of Sosa and Colas to learn even if that means struggling at MLB level as opposed to going back to AAA. Especially Sosa as he has shown already that he is ok/good at AAA level and now has twice failed to transfer that to MLB level.

The new team motto!

Do you think they graded the White Sox too high?

If we want positivity, the team has gone 2 days without a loss! Make it a win today and that would almost be a streak! 😉

Oh no, not at all, this season is a bust already but it was a pleasant surprise that they managed an unlikely comeback last night.

I am pleased although a little surprised to see that a) was the right answer, I didn't see a 7 run bottom of the ninth coming but a win is a win!

a) The White Sox win a game? b) Moncada returns from injury? c) A player/manager says they are hurting and trying hard despite the losses? d) Hahn grows a pair and resigns

Giolito: “I hate losing…” Then imagine how bad it is for us fans who have pay to watch you lose!

I know he has to trot out these sort of quotes but who is he kidding, this team don't look like winning two games in a row all season.

If this is them 'trying to win' when they finally give up this season then things are going to get even worse!

No sympathy at all for Hahn, but he has the haunted look of a man who knows his time is up and that nothing he can do will change that, the only trouble is he won't resign and JR doesn't look like he will fire him anytime soon.

That's assuming they get 9 people turn up!

That could be their next slogan '1 win a week will do!'

I think the players have had an 'off day' for a couple of days now.

As I said on another thread, if this is a 'sideways start' I would hate to see what they consider a downward spiral!

Just read this on the official website and it is pretty much like what you said "Chicago hasn’t won a series yet this year, or even won back-to-back games; the club is 2-12 over its last 14 contests. It’s an undeniably sideways start for a team hoping to contend, but it’s not game over." If this is a 'sideways start' I would hate to see what they consider a downwards start!

You could get a job as his speech writer, you have got all his usual excuses in there!!

As the old saying goes they way they played the Sox were lucky to get nil.

A win streak to reach the high grounds of .500 like last season?

If not in this run at some point this season that is a distinct possibility.

Unfortunately that is Hahn's mantra 'sell low, buy high'.

The bigger blame goes to whoever assembled this squad, and we all know who that is. Pedro has made an abysmal start but with the squad he has been given and the fixtures he has had so far, he was on to a loser anyway.

Once the ship has already hit the iceberg then replacing the captain has little point! But any decent captain would go down with his ship.
