It's also a bit of a crock of crap....their destiny has been in their hands for months. Easy part of the schedule...they play .500 just like the rest of the season. I'm not excusing LaRussa but for crying out loud there are enough veterans on this team that they should have realized long ago that this team had no fight.
An example of what I consider situational hitting is this....I've been watching baseball and White Sox baseball for a long time, and I cannot remember any team that is so bad with the bases loaded. It is very odd.
I agree defense has been bad as well....unfortunately this team does not play good baseball and their talent level has fallen off to a point that playing bad baseball really matters.
Finally, the lack of hustle at times is something that most White Sox fans, me included, just cannot stand.
So we agree that the offense and offensive approach are the main reasons this team dug a hole that this late season surge most likely won't save them from.
I'll go with this order....Situational Hitting, LaRussa, Situational Hitting, Injuries, Situational Hitting, the Nationwide Jingle Curse, Situational Hitting and Joe Kelly.
Flipping around the radio dial on my way to work and the guy doing the sports scores on Rock 95.5 said the mere presence of TLR made them lose yesterday.
Not judging, just passing along that report ?
Yep, but IF they do sweep those 4 from the Guardians that'd be something special. Unfortunately they've put themselves in the position of having to do things like that.
Twinkiez down 1 going into the bottom of the 9th. Very soon we will be either in sole possession of 2nd place or 1/2 game outta 1st....I'll take the latter please.
