I mean, how can they lose a lead to the team who lost three to KC last weekend and have any hope for the rest of the season! Shhhhhhhh............... Thorntons coming in.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 20, 2012 -> 10:28 PM) Let's say that Robin batted Hudson cleanup in the next series vs Detroit and he struck out 6 times in that series with the bases loaded, causing us to get swept. Would you still blame the players for failing and not the questionable managerial decision? He probably would.

QUOTE (Spod=Ratings @ Aug 20, 2012 -> 10:25 PM) This team collapses in a weird way. It aint over yet sweetie

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 20, 2012 -> 10:24 PM) ALEXEI! Hell of an at bat. And yes, Girardi should be blasted for keeping the LOOGY in there Yes it was. Do you blame Girardi though? The way the first few hitters swung at the first pitch of every AB?

See what happens when you take pitches. Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another first pitch swinging. Its crazy

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 20, 2012 -> 10:18 PM) PK and Rios, you don't need to take weak 0-0 swings against their loogy. You have to hope Rios isn't taking his struggles at the plate to the field, and vice versa. Its insane that they insist swinging at the first pitch.

Take some f***ing pitches!!!!!!!!

Jesus. Its never easy with this team.

Not good

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 20, 2012 -> 10:08 PM) The manager puts his players in a position to fail or succeed. When you put a player in a situation where he's not likely to succeed, you can't blame it all on the player. Exactly. The guy was tired obviously. Walked 2 straight batters. But hey, keep him in there. Especially when the hitter batting hits lefties better than righties. Yeah, the manager deserves no blame at all.

PK ran faster to first base just now to get Ichiro out than last inning when he grounded out.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 20, 2012 -> 10:03 PM) Martinez played for the Sox. He wasnt a star.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 20, 2012 -> 09:54 PM) Robin and his staff seriously needs to take a deeper look into splits and statistical analysis. Some of the decisions he's made are awful. This is why I advocated a guy like Dave Martinez during the off-season. Many here did. Guys from the Scoscia and Maddon school of coaching know what they're doing on the field. Robin's shown he is a great off the field manager, but his on the field tactics need A LOT of work. This is the same situation we were in with Ozzie earlier in his career, until Ozzie decided to not give a s*** and become a huge douche. The ex sox star players are preferred in this org. whether they are experienced enough or not. Its the Whitesox way. And Beckham finally comes up big.

Veal should only face lefties. But our manager and pitching coach dont realize that.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 20, 2012 -> 09:51 PM) And that's what happens when you let the LOOGY face a righty. Also, might want to shake up the pitch selection AJ? This team is playing so stupid of late. Another Ventura fail.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 20, 2012 -> 09:49 PM) Ugh, I didn't know Tex was better against LHP Stone said it twice. Ventura is clueless at times.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 20, 2012 -> 09:43 PM) Tie game as our manager continues to make just horrible decisions. Someone on the bench has got to start making better decisions. He is terrible when it comes to making decisions regarding the pitching staff and bullpen. He has no idea what to do. Stone said Tex was a better right handed hitter twice, yet Ventura lets him bat righty. Stome was even confused.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Aug 20, 2012 -> 09:24 PM) You sure yer watching the 2012 White Sox? Yes I am sure.

Rios has no luck sometimes.

Should be a tie f***ing game

What the f*** are you swinging at?

Can our manager show some f***ing emotion?

Strikes out the side. 7 K's. Unf***ingreal.

Can these guys take some pitches? What the f***
