Eddings was bad but consistent my guess is that is why the White Sox were not vocal. I know that sounds like carrying water but he was consistent. The Burger at bat in the 10th was similar. I know this was stated elsewhere but Davis Martin pitched well in that situation. If he and Lambert can become acclimated to those roles it will be helpful

Can complain about the manager but inability to execute cost them this game on 3 seperate occasions. Tony did not build the fragile bullpen or make them beyond baseball stupid. I hate Tony but players need to produce as well. Burger had a better match up in the 10th and failed miserably.

Plenty of perfect pitches to hit.

Can't hit a hanger....sigh

3 batters 5 pitches....way to turn the tide....SMH

Will the Sox get a base runner in 8th or 9th?

Why can Anderson play defense and gets picked off? Organization is full of morons.

This is where run differtial will hurt when they lose 14-2 because the always injured bullpen can't throw back to back days and starters can't throw into the 7th.

Anderson picked off twice in front of the hottest hitter in baseball. Why can't this team not be stupid?

Why didn't he pitch for his high school in the spring? Kind of sad Murphy from (RB) and Schultz (neither Oswego highly rated pitcher for that matter) had an opportunity in the state tourney. Was it a family decision? Murphy was coach's decision and a poor one at that.

Checking in to say LaRussa has to try and get more innings out of his starters.....somehow. Also Robert is starting to get a lazy approach on the bases and outfield.

Is this his third or fourth injury this year?

Moncada needs to be on IL or hit in the 9th.

Velazquez should finish this game even if he gives up 10

Ballgame Should be the last we see of Big Energy but Mendick will go down until the next soft tissue issue. This team has zero power

I thought they should have looked into Matt Carpenter. LHH 2B

1 game in to this series shows how far away they are from reality.

So

So

I'm sure they tried.

If Giolito brings value he should be moved.

Golf outing tomorrow so I am posting earlier as to not be derelict. Some wacky game times this weekend that I hopefully need to post threads for. So the fuse or fire is almost lit....are the boys ready for liftoff in a NASA hotbed? Let's all hope so as Dusty pantsed Tony last season as I am sure we all still recall. The season series last year down there was brutal sans some Hot Carl. Hopefully we get another Michael K (not NYY version) Sunday night to wow us again. Below is a nice little preview I found from some site as the pathetic Chicago media doesn't have the resources....at least that I could find. Maybe former poster Greg Pratt could talk to his bosses about that. I didn't post odds as they are not forever in our favor this weekend. LFG Chicago White Sox Record: 30-31 Houston Astros Record: 39-24 Friday’s Starters: Lucas Giolito 4-2, 3.88 ERA vs Framber Valdez 6-3, 2.64 ERA Saturday’s Starters: Johnny Cueto 0-3, 3.53 ERA vs Justin Verlander 8-2, 1.94 ERA Sunday’s Starters: TBD vs Cristian Javier 3-3, 3.20 ERA What to Watch: Houston comes into the series with the clear pitching advantage. They will have their two best starters going in this matchup so it could be tough sledding for the White Sox. Chicago will need to make sure that their offense carries them within this contest and hope that their starters can dominant. Justin Verlander has been lights out this season despite returning from injury and he has helped Houston remain atop the division. The Astros at home can be a tough team to beat so the White Sox will need to be ready.
