Why isn't Robert running???

Wild pitch/passed ball here and let's go home.

Nice going Billy!

Just get a hit.

Robert was the one that really surprised me. Out of all the supposed "young championship core" prospects, he's the only one I thought was going to be a superstar. He seemed to have the size and all the tools.

The lack of effort of Sox players running down the line is a residual effect of the TLR team culture.

Wherever you’re at, Jerry Reinsdorf, eat your heart out. I hope people realize what scum you are.

Grandal wasn't paying attention.

Grandal sucks.

So Eflin plunks Robert in the back, Both teams are warned, Grifol gets thrown out, then Fairbanks hits Benintendi and doesn't get tossed.

Maybe the Rays think the Sox routine is a little over the top.

Burger continues to hit.

Vaughn should have been at 2B but Sosa should have just ran it back in when he saw 2B wasn't covered. The run scoring on that was completely on Sosa.

Vaughn hit a HR and did the jacket/hat routine when coming back to the dugout. Eflin proceeded to throw at and hit Robert. Both teams were warned and Grifol was tossed for arguing about the Sox being warned when they did nothing. Next inning Burger hit a HR and they did the black jacket/black hat routine and Sox next hitter Zavala and the Rays catcher exchanged words at the plate.

Burger is the best player on the team.

I'm pretty sure that's the reason Eflin threw at Robert after the Vaughn HR.

f*** theses umpires too.

At least Andrew Vaughn can hit.

There's something seriously wrong with this entire Reinsdorf organization. They can't develop any young players, and veterans with decent track records regress, crash and burn when they join this team. They play stupid baseball and don't even seem to be familiar with fundamentals.

This is the worst team I ever saw. Even worse than any Cubs team.

You gotta be bleepin' me!!!

Wheels Burger!

Wrong thread

When the White Sox didn't make Bryce Harper their number one FA priority and instead tried to influence Machado by signing Jon Jay and Yonder Alonso, the rebuild was doomed to fail. Hahn put together a very flawed young core, then failed to augment that core with elite FA talent, instead spending the money on mediocre middle relievers and overrated utility players.
