Last night the offense was on fire. Today it is miserable. I think we all knew after winning 9-0 we'd want some of those runs today. THATS BASEBALL.

Maybe he could DH. I wouldn't sit him coming off a game in which he got a HR and two hits. He frankly has to help carry the team now. I doubt he'd want to sit after having a good game and playing in a hitters park.

Nice win. Hopefully Madrigal (2 hits) is comfy in the No. 2 hole. So many stars of the game, no need to list them all, cept for Cease. Would like to see tonight's game be the start of an amazing rest of the season for Abreu. He looked locked in. Stay focused, Jose and lead this team to greatness.

Nice to see Jose stroke two hits.

Elevate, Jose. You need a 2 homer game.

Len likes Mendick. Interesting. Len knows baseball. Nice to see Madrigal get two hits when he gets moved up in the order.

I'm surprised the announcers can't be in Cincy in person. I don't like Skyline chili but I love regular chili.

I guess Cease could get hurt so 3-for-3 is good enough. But it's not fun.

I seriously would rather talk Alex Gordon out of retirement than give this guy any at bats. Geez.

Yep. Yep. Every word in that post makes sense IMO. Spot on.

Man, no Engel for a long time. Sox definitely need to acquire somebody. I'd rather see Rutherford go 0-for-40 and at least try him than see Hamilton, et. all out there too much. Free Rutherford to the big leagues baby! This may sound dumb, but what about ask Alex Gordon to come out of retirement? Or would the Brews give up Avi baby for just a couple lousy A ball prospects? Avi might be good karma. I promise i'm not trying to be a jerk, but is Viciedo succeeding in his overseas career? Anything for good karma.

That's good news coming from ptatc. At least Eloy will be Eloy-ing in the future, crushing the ball.

Amen brother. Collins, Vaughn, Madrigal really need to produce at their highest levels at this stage of their development and like you said, the vets can't afford to struggle. Grandal and Jose baby, start raking.

Indeed, I told my Royals friends that they no longer have to fear the Sox. Today was a big step in the right direction for KC and Cleveland.

One thing is for sure. If Grandal and Jose don't start really raking and Vaughn and Collins carry their weight, Sox lineup is gonna be anemic.

I agree. I am thinking this is really really bad concerning his long term ability and availability. It's the saddest news in Chicago sports in a long time.

Sorry to be a pessimistic jerk but this really really bums me out. Robert is an amazing physical specimen and baseball prospect. Wiped out for the season. So much talent. Feels wrong to care about how this impacts the team, but it is devastating to the Sox unless Adam Engel is some sort of phenom in the making. Sad sad day. Bless you and best wishes Luis Robert.

I see it as a growing problem. White Sox have some amazing athletes who tend to suffer injuries especially in cold weather. I know all teams suffer injuries but this may be something that stunts the Sox completing the rebuild with 2-3 world championships or a run similar to the Blackhawks run not too many years ago. Sox are not deep enough to survive Robert's absence with an automatic out.

The Robert injury saddens me, though. I don't like Sox chances of competing this year considering they already played without Timmy for a couple weeks and Eloy is out for the season. I do not think the Sox can win big this season without Robert and Eloy. The lineup has taken a HUGE hit. My guess is if Abreu and Grandal get white-hot that could help, but the Sox lineup is really a fraction of what we all thought it could be now with Robert and Eloy both out.

I feel sorry for our guys. They are such physically impressive specimens they get hurt going all out. Look how fast Robert was running. He was really hustling. Eloy tries to rob a home run. Extra effort and he's out for a long time. This is a huge loss for the Sox if he's out a few months or the rest of the season. You take away Robert and Eloy and my own opinion is it's not a playoff team anymore.

yeah but Keuchel makes top dollar and frankly you should win the pitchers duel at home. If you concede games with Dallas pitching, why pick him up in the first place?

Tony should copy George Costanza and do the opposite of what he's thinking. Vaughn probably woulda hit into a DP or struck out but look what ultimately happened. Three easy outs and the dull end to a home loss. Maybe Vaughn would have connected for a gapper.

I wonder if this will be Tony's first explosion when media asks him about batting for Vaughn. They know why he did it but have to ask. Tony wanted to move the line with singles then have Timmy hit a gapper.

Terrible loss but Sox still have best team in the division and at some point will take off.

Tony blew it. It's either adapt to the HR and K mentality or go against the Sox analytics. Vaughn might have hit one deep. Leury as Fathom noted would pound a grounder.
