Chicago White Sox

Also, my pick to click for today is Big Energy. Dude may be sporting a 51 wRC+, but he’s been incredibly unlucky based on his 18th percentile xwOBA. The man is about to erupt and I see a multi hit effort in the cards today assuming he’s in the lineup. And as usual, he will bring that fire & passion that the rest of the team and manager have been lacking. It’s officially time to unleash the real Big Energy on the AL.

Alright boys, huge win yesterday as the Sox regained a game on the Twins (now five back) as well as Angels (now only a game back from the 7th wild card spot). That being said, we can’t stop now in what should be a very winnable matchup. Giolito really has to step up and keep the momentum going. The HRs have been a problem for him so far this season and so has his effectiveness with both the changeup & slider. Hopefully this is simply SSS noise and we see vintage Lucas today. We desperately need that dude if we want any shot at a divisional comeback. As for the lineup, it’s time we start bundling all the good hitters at the top of the lineup and let the cold ones either ride pine or bat in the bottom 3rd. Please stop putting the bad fast guys up front or overplaying bad lefty or switch hitters because a RHP is the on the mound. Tony is trying to play chess with a board full of pawns and it’s not working. There is zero reason to overthink this right now with the offense struggling like it is. And Jake Burger better be in the fucking lineup or I’ll riot. Here’s what I’d like to see today: Pollock, LF Vaughn, DH Abreu, 1B Robert, CF Burger, 3B Engel, RF Mendick, 2B Grandal, C# Harrison, 2B Not a great lineup, but it’s about the best we can do and the defense is optimized outside of 3B & C. Moncada gets a day on the bench for subpar performance and Grandal moves way down in the lineup. Time to send both of these guys messages, although in all honesty we need both to come back to life if we want any semblance of a major league offense. I actually think this group can give you a whopping four runs today and if Lucas can limit the HRs I think we can pull off a 4-2 victory today. Let’s fucking go!!

Maybe the manager should try coaching him a bit then?

Are they challenging?

Generous call there but I’ll take it

Oh boy

End this now Graveman

Why would we play Yermin Mercedes over either of those guys, Burger, or even Sheets?

Truer words have never been spoken

Yup, will forever be one of the more mind-boggling move by an organization that has made its fair share of them

I thought trolling wasn’t allowed here?

Legend is so fucking bad…can’t believe this organization thinks he’s somehow a quality player

BUGERTRON!?!?!?!?!

Holy fuck…fuck this team

Seven walks…wow

It’s pretty remarkable they’ve done absolutely nothing on the offensive. Whether it’s firing Menechino, demoting Sheets, or releasing Harrison there are many things that could be done to shake things up. Not sure if it’s a loyalty thing or just plain ego, but we’re quickly running out of time and something needs to be done to see if we can revive this season.

That three run prediction not looking so hot…

Alright boys, we’re coming off four straight losses and currently sit six games back of the Twins for the division lead. To say winning this game is important is the understatement of the century. Time to right the fucking ship and that all starts with a quality Cease start. I’m expecting seven innings of one run ball from Dylan today. That should hopefully give us a great chance of winning despite a shit offense and horrible manager. When it’s all said and done, I think the Sox win this one 3-1. Let’s fucking go!

Fuck this team

Shit lineup doesn’t score any runs…how is this possible?!?

I hate Tony La Russa with all my heart

What do you mean it’s a nuanced subject?

JFC…time to watch Stranger Things then!

What happened? I was putting my wiener kids to bed.
