More 2 out runs....what a fantastic idea

Crochet is pitching well enough to say the bullpen has 6 guys that can close a game for them. Offense needs to gain consistency. That said he has to put Phillips away there.

Until the offense especially the top of the order finds some consistency they will struggle. Other than the Bassit injury it seems like the opposing pitcher breezes through the first 3 or 4 innings.

Sox are 3-1 against the best team in the AL

Bummer needed to be better that is all. He had been lights out for a while tonight he wet himself. Thankfully the Sox won and Gio was fantastic,

Defense is going to make mistakes. The Cease bases loaded walk and piss poor hitting from Hernandez and Moncada are why they lost. I look at the pitching matchups for Tampa and hope this lineup is rearranged to be more consistent. The Sox have still not seen great pitching in a while and won't this weekend....at least from the Rays starters. Although the Sox cannot seem to jump on a starter early.

That's not news. This team should kill LHP. He is there to hit RHP which he does.

He seems to now be a prime candidate for mailing it in after the contract extension. Talk about Vaughn 2 out RISP but Moncada has hit middle order all season and has no power or ability to drive in a run. He also can't play 2B so we were hamstrung when Madrigal went down yet Vaughn can play anywhere with a fraction of the athletic ability. Starting to almost hate Moncada.

A's LHP seems to have pitched around AV twice today.

The White Sox have thrown 137 pitches the A's 98. That is the thing that has driven me nuts about the Sox for a number of years and it becomes magnified when they play teams like the Yankees and A's. The White Sox give away way too many at bats with quick easy outs.

Really is his saving grace along with some pop. I think if put in the right matchups and as a backup he could be fine. Having catchers with certain pitchers is killing the limited offense of both he and Seby. Collins was a bat first guy when drafted but this year has been brutal.

Moncada is looking like the poster child for mailing it in. This offense is maddening.

I am a Madrigal fan but the experience of Hernandez (hoping he gets out of his current slump both offensively and defensively) is more valuable now than Madrigal especialyy in a post season. Hernandez hitting 9th is sexy as F.

And someone claims that the Madrigal trade will be worse than Tatis trade. These threads are amazing.

Offense was abysmal and made this a game. If Bummer can't throw more than 20 pitches than he's not that great of an option. Kimbrel and Kopech available tomorrow is not a bad thing......unless the offense is shut down again.

This offense just gives up way too many quick and easy outs. Watching NY and Oak work counts v 2 pitch outs.

Anderson cannot leadoff and Moncada needs to move out of the middle of the order.

They will over pay a handful of guys that are chasing the money to fill the park and then hope and pray they have the next Hendricks and Arrieta laying around in the organization.

So they are going to have 5 Jason Heyward contracts next season.

He's kind of the reason for the crack down

What is the point of Mike Wright

Top of the order 0-6....doing top of the order stuff

At the game I was looking at third /left before realizing he was down. Scary stuff.

At this point he may not want the option picked up if he finishes as a top reliever in baseball.

Revenue sharing happens to a degree that is keeping teams from even caring if they have a winning product on the field.
