Chicago White Sox

Can we please burn this thread to the ground and see if that ends the curse?

Yup

Limping into the playoffs should certainly matter. He has literally sucked the life out of this team right when having confidence matters. I have never seen Jose Abreu look so deflated as he did after tonight’s loss.

Now we know? Rodon hasn’t pitched in like 45 days, we don’t jack shit other than we’re likely not winning the divison and may not even get home field advantage for the first round.

Wow, I can’t remember three blow-ups like this in my history as a White Sox fan.

If we fall to 3rd place I do kind of wonder if they contemplate making a manager move. Probably not, but damn I’d be concerned as fuck right now if I was Rick Hahn and watching how Ricky has managed this series.

Pretty much

Not as a reliever though.

I love Steve Stone.

Not defending Hahn, but let’s give Rodon more than a 1/3 of inning before writing him off.

lol...no

100% this.

I would say it’s up to this offense to save the day from our incompetent manager, but then I see Jarrod Dyson is leading off the inning and realize the odds are stacked against us.

It’s mind boggling.

I’m sorry, but go fuck yourself Ricky. This is such a stupid fucking decision that I can’t even comprehend it. That’s three straight kicks to the dick thanks to Ricky.

Like why not Bummer over Rodon at least?

Wow, bringing Carlos in with the bases loaded for his first appearance in a month plus.

I believe it was reported this week that Vaughn is in fact eligible.

Nomar!!

Does Vaughn accrue service time if called up for the playoffs? I would think no, but seems like such a bizarre scenario and obviously won’t happen.

Eloy!!

Gross. This organization should be completely embarrassed if they start Cease over Dunning in a game three.

I actually like Sanchez as an extra bench piece, but he’s already got Mendick sent down and is eating away at too many of Madrigal’s at-bats. It was painfully obvious the moment they signed him that Ricky would use him far too often.

Rodon could be the next Pomeranz, if he flashes that type of ability coming out of the bullpen then I’m bringing him back next year for $5M.

If we need a fourth starter, go with Rodon as opener for Cease. Give Dylan the shortest of leashes and then go to the pen.
