Big Bad Energy.

LOL that's a good way to put it but as Huey Lewis sang."Sometimes bad is bad".

Or last season

Nice to see a hanger pulled instead of inside outed to RF for a single

The challenge got the Sox 2 runs !

Safe

This . Harrison is near the end of his career . The Sox are a .500 team. Play youngsters and let them learn.

Must be nice to have a rookie difference maker offensively and defensively.

He'll get better when his arm is stronger. We all knew that early season success wouldn't last as the innings built up. I was preaching the same thing with Rodon last year.

These runs should be unearned but they aren't.

I don't mind cutting Kopech some slack. We all know he's a work in progress. Giving up a couple of runs shouldn't be a big deal but it always is with our offense.

yay defense !

Healthy and tired are 2 different things. We saw that with Rodon last year. Your arm can be healthy but not as strong.

Quit being a wet blanket .

I just thought you wanted to kiss him or something.

LOL that matters ?

Baby steps. Someone please hit a fair ball this inning.

Damn ump great pitch called a ball.

Funny how management didn't think good LHH mattered and we have the same .500 team we've seen for the last 3 trade periods (2 mid season trade deadlines and one off season).

It always matters. Lefties may not do great against great RHP pitching either but it prevents a pitcher from getting into a groove when he has to face opposites handed guys. Now if you're talking about it not mattering with Moncada, Grandal or Sheets I'd agree.

That's no position player on the mound.

What other MLB team would put 7 RHH against Castillo ? LHH is always the Sox Achilles heal through out their history.

Other teams don't seem to have a problem bringing up players for the stretch run. Particularly Atlanta. 21 year old Vaughn Grissom, 11th round pick, straight from AA has already contributed a 150 wRC+ in 25 games .I trust their front office more than the Sox because they have shown winning is important to them. It's not always about trade value and the extra year. Tall task , miracle is all just semantics when the Sox can't get out of their own way and hover around .500 no matter what they do. You can keep waiting for Robert, Kopech, Anderson,and Eloy to fulfill their promise while they remain injured and unavailable. Performance and health dictate trade value more than an extra year when it comes to White Sox players. You can also keep watching and waiting for the tall task with the worst OF defense possible and a total lack of LHH to face all the RHP they constantly face. It's not as cut and dried as you think it is and don't you feel just a little bit ashamed because you actually agree with Sox management when they have shown they don't care about upgrading the team with anything but relief pitchers ? Where are our left handed hitters for the last 3 trade periods in the middle of a supposed contention window ?

Might be easier to take care of their own business if they could hit and field the ball better in the OF with a young guy who bats LH, hits for power, can hit LH and RH pitching and field his position better than Sheets or Vaughn and probably better than Pollock in CF too all while Robert can't play. You're asking for a miracle while not willing to take the chance that their is a possible miracle available who you don't want to see on the team for the stretch run.

Free Colas ! If you want the Sox to win the division then this is the only logical choice for you unless you love seeing Pollock in CF and Vaughn and Sheets in the OF and the Sox continually scoring 3 or less runs per game and playing the worst OF defensively possible.
