Yes let's walk bad hitters. I love Pito but feel hes just delaying the inevitable.
-
Why is the ghost runner still a thing?

Just now, maxjusttyped said:
Robert doesn't look physically capable of hitting right now. This is brutal to watch.
And hes not even contributing by trying to take pitches. He should not be swinging first pitch. Wtf?
-
This is bullshit. I hate this team.
-
No adjustment from the offense at all here which is pathetic. Ump has a terrible zone for pitchers and our guys are still swinging at everything. A microcosm of how pathetic the offense has been this year.

Almost went to this game. Should be a pretty good crowd.

Losing to the Rockies and Tigers at this stage of the game is unacceptable in winnable games. A good team doesnt allow that. This is not a good team.

Don't hold your breath on the Twins sweeping in Cleveland, they couldn't win a game at home last week against the Guards.
If I know anything about baseball, it's that now the Twins will win 2 of 3 or sweep in their barn because of the data you provided.

The 1 game playoff is no more. Unless the Sox sweep the 4 remaining games with the Guardians, Cleveland will own the tie breaker.
If this team gets in, it wont be because they deserve it.

Good tactic by the Twins to waste a bunch of time and try to cool down Cease. Losers. Put a real pitcher out there.

The White Sox were 26-16 after the day of the 3-0 Grand Slam by Yermin Mercedes.
Since that point, this team is 129-115.
They peaked out in 2021 at 43-26 on June 17 of 2021.
Since that point they are 113-105
This isn't even JUST a 2022 thing. The team fell hasn't been the same for about 14-15 months now.
The roster is by and large the same roster, with a few changes. It is the same players who were killing it in the previous years who have tanked in the ensuing time.
I'm starting to think that Yermin Mercedes game was the game the team started to understand that maybe having fun isn't actually allowed. Whether Yermin actually stuck with the team or not, it was a critical mistake to punish him for trying to be a good baseball player and earn a ML spot / salary for a longer term. Fuck TLR.

In order of catastrophe:
1) Hiring TLR
2) Not offering Machado the full deal
3) Letting Rodon walk
4) Keeping Menechino
5) Not even bothering with Bryce Harper
6) Not even bothering with Mookie Betts
7) Not even bothering with Juan Soto
I get that these would have been hard guys to land but one of Machado, Harper, Betts or Soto may have really helped this offense as generational talents. However, #1 and #4 probably still would have gotten in the way.

I respect Abreus wishes if he wants to retire or sign elsewhere. But if he wants to come back you absolutely bring him back. He is the heart and soul of this team, a warrior, and the closest guy on this roster that we can say has a championship attitude. It's super unfortunate this hasnt rubbed off on his team mates.
-
Gotta hand to the tiny crowd. They're always the rowdiest.

Easy mode for Urquidy. And every other pitcher this year.
-
That's a bit surprising. Maybe trying to use them for his injury issues?
Having him and all of his various ailments on the team.. hed actually fit right in. Maybe not with the PEDs though.
-
Tony says that the switch doesnt need to be flipped because it is on. In that case Tony believes he has a bad baseball team because theres no way you can say these guys are playing with their hearts yet they are so consistently awful.
And now we'll lose a guy like Cueto who actually does play with passion by throwing him under the bus.

I have a hard time putting it on the players when every single position player has regressed. That's not a fucking coincidence. Their lack of power is not a coincidence. All of them having the same shit plate approach is not a coincidence. Their fundamentals disappearing is not a coincidence. Almost the entire team is having career worst seasons. It's pretty fucking obvious what the problem is here.
Maybe easier said than done but wouldn't some players be like "fuck whatever this guy is saying, I'm going to do what made me successful before"? There's no way Menechino's "style" is so heavily engrained in every player that they are just completely fucked as baseball players.

Clearly Keuchal wasn't the problem with this team. He may be an assclown but probably hit the nail on the head about this clubhouse.

I am so fucking sick of hearing "hats off to random shit pitcher" from Stone. Call out this putrid fucking offense, you coward.
Yoan down looking. Again.
This team is soulless.
Yeah, it's not that every pitcher is pitching the game of the season against us. It's that they KNOW we suck and they come in with great confidence, enhancing some of their ability but the main factor is this team can't hit. At all. And everyone knows it.
-
Blowan isn't even competitive. I hope the women start snuffing him for being so shit at baseball so he finds some new motivation.
Yeah right, he's got enough money that it doesn't matter.

Dude Steve Stone can shut up. He tweeted about 100% intensity and effort a few days ago and now saying its all good to just throw this game away because you never had a chance.

Nobody is held accountable except for Yermin
fucking THIS. Its all good for Seby and Yoan to hit HRs off of position players but not Yermin? That whole fucking saga seemed like the catalyst to the downfall of this team.

Probably cherry picking stats but whatever, this team is dog shit and deserves it.
Judge, Rizzo and Stanton account for 94 home runs. Our team has 92 total.

9/20 Sox vs Cleveland
in 2022 Season in Review
Posted
Used to say I'm still a Sox fan even though I hate ownership because I like the players. Theres a few good ones as always but holy s%*# this group is largely unlikable.
