As the person who spent the offseason saying “this team will have a ton of injuries get ready” I can’t say I’m surprised by this. Im used to slumps, we saw a 5 game losing streak last year where everyone was just bored. This just has a very different feel, it’s not just no one hitting, you’ve also got the defensive sh*tshow, you’ve got Keuchel and other pitchers getting shelled, and clearly some unknown personal issues going on. This definitely has a different flavor from slumps last year.

Who had money on Severino as the only clean inning today?

Leury is the starting 2b he is actually supposed to be able to play.

Well for those who say Abreu hits ‘‘em when it doesn’t matter

Vaughn and Mendick collision but everyone survived

Apparently he was pulled or benched on Saturday

By the end of today the White Sox will be in the bottom 5-6 teams in baseball in run differential.

Sousa’s ERA up to a smooth 5.68 so far.

.192 coming into today. But at least there are 2 teams worse!

I’m not sure which of those was hit harder.

Presumably based on the timing of this post they actually found something worse.

That ball might have been hit.

Sigh, right at Buxton.

Early report is “right hamstring soreness”

This is still unusual for TA. Letting the crowd get this under your skin? The TA I’m used to will just go crush a ball in reply.

The Royals tentatively have a lefty starter on Tuesday.

I think one of the podcasts suggested yesterday that Hahn mentioned something about Leury’s playing time to LaRussa and they had a blowup where Leury is now at the top of the lineup to prove a point. Whatever it is, Stone going beyond “he’s not being used right” to “he shouldn’t be on the roster” is something else. They will be on the same plane tomorrow. I also have no good guesses how the infield collapse and Anderson’s blowup would fit into this, but there’s definitely something going on.

We had this in the TLR thread last night I think and yeah there’s a general impression that some real weird sh*t is goin down.

Says FS1 for me, so some people might have it on regular Fox?

Because the next 6 times he tried the same thing it wouldn’t work. It’s the praise for Leury’s bloop first inning single yesterday before the 3 bad looking strikeouts.

Let’s see, Vaughn, Anderson, Sheets, Burger, Pollock.

I think he’s thinking “I just need to play well enough this year to get one last contract, so I’m going to do my job as well as I can.”

Isn’t Pollock supposed to be off today? TLR was going to play him most of the game yesterday then do a rest day today iiRC from his pregame statement. That’s one I understand.

I just want to know what you will do if you nailed it precisely.

Yeah this is just weird.
