1-2 pitch was a blatant strike. Nice throw Melky

QUOTE (Tony @ May 29, 2016 -> 04:52 AM) I don't even understand the small complaints in this thread about refs or whatever. If you aren't a fan of either of these two teams, like a hardcore fan, STFU and just enjoy some of the most entertaining action any of us have ever seen. It's just fantastic, and I'm not the biggest NBA fan. It's pure drama. Yep, just love seeing Steph and Klay play. I don't care for how Westbrook plays and Draymond is annoying.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 29, 2016 -> 03:41 AM) Who choked worse today? The Sox or the Thunder? lol Already texted someone that Robertson approved of Durant's finish

Awesome game, quite the choke by OKC

FWIW, Padres lineup tonight has all the normal players

Kemp has been awful this year. Fun stat, the Padres hitter with the highest fWAR is.....Melvin Upton Jr.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 28, 2016 -> 11:21 PM) The point is still the same, until guys start doing their job out of the bullpen, it doesn't matter. Nate Jones and Putnam have been pretty damn good this year, but agree with the concept in general that just too many relievers have melted down of late.

Frazier even saying a loss like this could linger with the team http://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/royals-...stun-white-sox/

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 29, 2016 -> 12:15 AM) So that whole managing for today thing worked out really well... Yep, ended up not using Jones with the lead last night and then wasted him for 4 outs when they were trailing. Putnam did a fantastic job today, Robertson just freaking choked.

Johnson is starting tonight...Anderson also

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ May 28, 2016 -> 10:42 PM) Not only what you said but the contract pretty much cripples any other additions for the year. Maybe Morneau if he can get healthy for July but can the Sox hang in the race til then ? Not only crippled this year but next year also

QUOTE (Knuckles @ May 28, 2016 -> 11:38 PM) Let's take a breather, if I told you before the season, Sox are trading EJ and Tatis JR (who?) for Shields because they are 27-23 you would probably say HELL YEAH. I would say that after Shields couldn't keep the ball in the park last year, he would be a bad fit here

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 28, 2016 -> 10:30 PM) Jesus Christ. Even I didn't think they could blow a 6 run lead that late. No lead feels safe anymore. In April, a 1 run lead felt like a sure thing.

Rabbit tweeted that Johnson was scratched

Really don't want Dakota Hudson with the first pick (with Law hearing of the Sox wanting college arms). Watch them shock us and take Tyler at 10.

Some tweets by respected baseball writers: Jonah KeriVerified account ‏@jonahkeri 44m44 minutes ago Better leave David Robertson in for 9 more hits, just to be sure Rany Jazayerli ‏@jazayerli 29m29 minutes ago Special shoutout to Robin Ventura, who among other things deliberately walked the bases loaded, ensuring his pitcher had no margin for error Joe Sheehan ‏@joe_sheehan 46m46 minutes ago There's a pretty good "30 For 30" to be done on Robin Ventura's bullpen management the last 18 hours or so.

Joe Ostrowski ‏@JoeO670 29m29 minutes ago White Sox have lost 6 straight series for the first time since 2007

By my count, 27 of Robertson's 29 pitches were fastballs/cutters. That's absolutely ridiculous

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 28, 2016 -> 10:59 PM) Times like these are where players like Lawrie are supposed to cease the lethargic play and make us start winning again The offense has been fine the last two days. This is all on the bullpen/decision making.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 28, 2016 -> 09:57 PM) He's definitely not at fault today. He managed some things poorly yesterday but millionaire athletes need to do their jobs properly. Fire him. Don't fire him. People greatly overrate the impact of a manager. Just hate that over last two games, only time Nate Jones was used was when trailing.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ May 28, 2016 -> 10:55 PM) I questioned bringing Robertson in from the start of that inning . Hate seeing closers used when it's not a closing situation. But i figured hey 6 run lead even if he does wet the bed how often do teams come back from that big of a lead ? Thought if there was ever a time to use Purke this was it. So how often do things like blowing a lead that big in the 9th happen ? Last time was 6 years ago in MLB. Or let Albers pitch with some room for error.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 28, 2016 -> 10:54 PM) They aren't selling. What if they are ten out come July 31

QUOTE (juddling @ May 28, 2016 -> 09:52 PM) I always hear how JR is loyal to his former players...well i wish some reporter would ask him 'When is it time to be loyal to the fans???" Robin may not be the whole problem but he's a BIG percentage and since you can't fire a whole bullpen the manager needs to go. I think i'm gonna throw names in a hat and pick a new team to root for until RV is gone. JR has done a nice job of making fans of his two teams hate the organizations

QUOTE (Baron @ May 28, 2016 -> 10:51 PM) If they are sellers Rick Hahn might as well pack his bags. He wont be coming back. Probably what needs to happen. Doesn't know how to build a winner or farm system
