Chicago White Sox

Don’t we play horrible in Oakland generally speaking? Not sure traveling out to California is the way to get this team firing on all cylinders. Honestly, as long as we don’t play the Indians I’ll be happy, which it sounds like you’re saying can’t happen.

In theory, Jon Lester should be the definition of a slump-buster, so it’s really put up or shut-up time today.

?

Let’s fucking go!

I hope the Cubs keep scoring and embarrassing these fucks. Clearly Ricky can’t do anything to change things, but maybe an old-fashioned ass kicking will.

They really need to make a chance from Cooper unfortunately

And as bad as Cease has been, this is only his 26th start. He’s still effectively a rookie.

Cooper should be embarrassed. Cease has a ton of talent, but he’s made zero progress under Cooper this year.

Holy fuck Cease is a gas can right now

Leadoff double and nothing to show for it...this team is fucking dead

The guy who went to his HS pitching coach for advise

Who is your 4th starter? Not a ton of options at the moment.

Fair enough. I just love pummeling the Cubs and I think this series is what will get us back on track heading into the playoffs.

This game-thread seems pretty dead for a Cubs / Sox game with playoff seeding implications on the line.

Oh I definitely would have given him more playing time down the stretch in RF.

Big Dick Nick is definitely gonna poke one hard tonight!

I used it too liberally yesterday, so I got to save it for a bit moment tonight!

Agree there, but I wouldn’t have overreacted to a small sample and gone with him as our starter in RF in 2021 even if was good.

IMO, Engel is a good 4th OF and there really isn’t a reason to see if he can be more that.

Those Hamilton-Burr jokes were short-lived

Thank you!

Cespedes or Colas would be the long-term RF. And Andrew Vaughn is going to be our DH (or 1B) next year so that position is more than covered. What is it you mean by a bench bat? What role is said playing?

There’s a very good chance we’re signing Cespedes or Colas as part of the upcoming signing class. We really just need a stopgap option. My money is on Joc being that guy whether or not some people hate that idea.

Two hitters? Where is the other hitter playing other than RF?
