I can't believe I witnessed a grown man, in baseball his whole life, send a runner on a base hit with nobody out on a play in which the outfielder had the ball about the time Lexi took one step past third base. It seems like we have the worst 3B coaches the last few seasons. Good god, how can that man live with himself? How could anybody with baseball knowledge send Lexi there? He must apologize to the team and the city. I mean if it made even a smidgen of sense! How can you send Lexi there?? It's impossible.

How can a 3B coach who has made unbelievably bad sends before, be that stupid? He must be fired now.

Look. You've got to fire the 3B coach. Immediately. I mean is this actually happening?

How can you not hit to the left side there? He's got to go left. Maybe bunt that way.

Hate to say it, but I'd rather lift and pull than hit into a DP here. Nice hit, Lexi.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 4, 2015 -> 03:08 AM) Still pissed they didn't try and get Astros or Yanks interested in Robertson last week Best bet is to just pitch no name guys as closer until they lose it; then go with the next no-name guy. Robertson overall deserves a grade of B-minus though I'd say.

Is it hyperbole or wrong of me to say this is the season right here? If we win in dramatic fashion, we still are a scrappy team with a chance? If we lose, we are a joke and will ultimately vie for a top draft pick?

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 4, 2015 -> 03:05 AM) Robertson has been another disappointment He's had some miserable performances, that's for sure. Isn't he a decent closer for baseball in 2015 though?

Oh well, if we lose this game we deserve to lose. Robin made the rite call putting in Robertson.

I loved Bobby Jenks.

I like that fan who has been in it the whole game yelling stuff at the players. Nice to see a fan into it.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 4, 2015 -> 02:57 AM) Thornton was one of the best relievers in the 21st century overall for the Sox. There have been a ton worse. At the end of his Sox stint he was horrific, you must admit.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 4, 2015 -> 02:54 AM) Belisario is definitely #1 Thornton was pretty pathetic at the end.

I'd let Robertson pitch this inning and go for it. If we don't score in the bottom of the ninth we deserve to lose at home again.

Amazing how many bad relievers the Sox have had the last several seasons. Can somebody make a list of all our bad relievers and rank them lousy to pathetic?

Sox in a big-time funk at home. Will have to get off the mat a third time. Somebody's gotta be a hero again.

Duke a big-time goat on that pitch. meat to Sizemore.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Aug 4, 2015 -> 02:45 AM) But that double tho... Big double, though. He turned his night around for the better. I do think he's an easy guy to root for. He seems to care deeply. He's just challenged on defense and has an horrific approach at the plate like a lot of hitters who don't draw walks.

Can't believe he didn't let that hit him in the leg to get on base.

I guess I'm wrong again! Avi baby comes through and shows he's not done. And Sanchez is still hitting after all! Big game. Let's win it.

Nice job Petricka. My guess is we either score this inning or lose. But we're still in this game because of that strikeout. A hit there and it woulda been OVA.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 4, 2015 -> 02:11 AM) Wow this defense sucks tonight. Avi has no business playing Avi figures to get the 2 day off LaRoche treatment after this one. He should get 2 months off though, playing in the minors. Pretty lousy of Detroit to rush a guy with tools. His career is OVA or at least in the Viciedo stages after this effort tonite.

Funny to see those fans immediately interfere with the ball on Longoria's hit. They need to eject all fans for their foolishness on such plays. You get seats in the front row you gotta use your head. In a big game you do that and become a Bartman forever.

Cmon, White Sox. This is a big game! (Or is it?)

Glad to see Tyler stroke a base hit like the good ol days. There's the home run! That was exciting!
