Chicago White Sox

It’s needs more Zack Collins.

Alright boys, today is the definition of a must win as the Sox are currently in 10th place in the AL at the 35% mark of the season and wouldn’t make the playoffs at the moment. It’s officially time to stop fucking around and being swept at home and going to two games under .500, regardless of no fans, would simply be a kick to the dick. On the mound today, we have a man named after one of the great American cities vs. some dude named after not just one but two of the lamest states in the entire US. Our boy Dallas has been as good as advertised this year, keeping the ball on the ground and working towards a 3.04 ERA and 3.48 FIP. Meanwhile, this Dakota character has only made one start and gave up 4 runs in 4.1 innings including a couple of blasts. This was also 21 days ago, so dude should be rusty but then again this is the White Sox he’s facing. Dakota is very much a sinker-slider type pitcher and I could see that poising challenges for our RH hitters. We desperately need a plan at the plate today and that is to not chase his slider down & away. It’s without question his put away pitch and our hitters need to expect it when Dakota gets a favorable count. As for the lineup today, if it were me managing I’d finally give Abreu’s ground-ball inducing ass a day-off (he has literally started every game) and go with some combo of Collins & Encarnacion at 1B & DH. I know I’m in the minority, but this is a perfect spot for my boy Collins and I hope Ricky finally realizes he does have a LH power bat on his roster not named Mazara and that it’s ok to use him in certain matchups. Regardless, let’s get a fucking win today and welcome those Tigers on a high note! Let’s fucking go!!

Best post from you all day Jack.

I missed the second half of game two, but this team doesn't deserve to be a playoff team. I still think they'll get hot at some point, but the measure for error is shrinking by the day and I still don't see a sense of urgency from the coaching staff or players.

Today may be your worst posting day in SoxTalk history and that’s really saying something.

Of course you do

We’re technically a game over .500 and wouldn’t be a playoff team at the moment. This team needs to find a sense of urgency because even with AL teams making the postseason we may not be one of them if we keep just giving games away.

Dude, please go rub one out and stop polluting the the thread with this panic-induced garbage.

Better start scoring soon.

Dunning is being called up?

Then we should plan on trading Lucas in the offseason, because McCann won’t be around after this season to make him feel comfortable.

At some point it’s no longer a coincidence and raises the question of what the fuck these guys are doing to prepare for starts.

Yeah seriously, Will Meyers is NOT an option

So there’s still a chance he can pull off a Geoff Blum in the World Series!

FIFY

Cease is basically a rookie dude.

And what happens when one of these five guys go down with an injury? By default, a smart organization should have six starters ready to go. If we’re serious about competing next year, then Stiever shouldn’t be any higher than 7th on the depth chart.

Bauer makes a ton of sense on a one year deal as it allows Cease & Kopech another year of development in the back of the rotation and allows for Dunning to be your swingman.

The South don’t give a fuck about your COVID-19!

Holy shit that’s bad.

Just tuned in after a long day of work, but how has this offense not scored shit yet? I thought Fulmer was basically broken at this point? What did I miss so far?

What a pathetic ending.

Come on Yoan!!

One pitch one out
