That was fast. Can't believe the likes of Turner and Beck struggled.

Navarro wasting no time in being awful on defense

 

THe usual great relief pitching by the Sox in the 9TH

another brilliant move by Robin

 

 

Putting in tuner was conceding the game....

 

God can't wait for both of them to go the eff away.

I don't care if its tied...

 

You put in Robertson there so you have some chance...

 

 

These post game celebrations are so stupid.

 

Anyway, why not intentionally walk two batters there? Desperation mode, but you gotta do it.

Any talk about Jones being a "future closer" needs to end immediately. He's not even a good set up man. Eight blown saves chances this year already and he is personally responsible for five of the Sox 10 losses this year where they took a lead into the 7th inning or later. Yet the brain trust gave him a three year contract. OK then.

 

If the Sox are going to "go for it" yet again next year, they basically have to rebuild this bullpen from scratch...and that's awful hard to do in one off season.

Most of the ideas endorsed were terrible but anyway man Navarro is such wasted space. Would much rather bat a worse matchup, because hey, Navarros best is now worse than everyone.

Most of the time, my eye test of a players performance jives with the advanced statistics of how well a player is actually doing. However in the case with Nate, it is not the case. The eye test says he's been bad but his advanced metrics say otherwise.

Jones is decent... but should be our 7th inning guy.

 

The bullpen is so thin and horrible right now...

 

It's full of guys with either no control or stuff that has blinking lights on it for takeoff.

 

Robin is hot garbage... but he really is throwing out nerf bullets.

 

What a mess of a bullpen.

I just saw that Ventura pinch hit Navarro...good gracious. The veteran thing again, whitesox?

What does it say about Lawrence Holmes show that he promised dirt on the white sox at 9 pm and the nobody bothered to listenanyway. What does it say about sox?

LOL it was a Heyman article mentioning Robin on the hot seat. Hot scoop.

I was just gonna say, another choke job late. Another lost series vs. a Central Division team. This is why Robin won't be back (aven though his players blow).

MLB Daily Dish already had their "GM Ratings" with Hahn 29th or whatever and had Ventura as one of the six obvious coaches on the hot seat.

 

Every single article about managers from now until the day he is notified of his fate will mention Robin's name.

 

Quite a few are speculating on Scioscia as well.

It's a shame a guy with Nate's stuff has such a horrible, flawed delivery. Sorry Nate, you ain't gonna make it pitching the way you do. Just.Another.Guy.

He Will work on his defense over the winter and will be much better in 2017

Another installment of "El Rockin ... best fan ever!" Are u serious El Rockin?

I'm sick of Robin conceding games. He does it quite often. He deserves credit for never pulling an Ozzie and blaming his horrific players, however. Can u imagine my guy, Ozzeroo, after games in which our players f*** up royally?

Unfortunately advanced metrics don't get hitters out with the game on the line from 60 feet, six inches away.

 

Nate Jones is not closer material and he's not ever set up material. At the rate he's going he's headed for mop up man.

I'll help pay for Scioscia to come to Chicago.

 

At least he's a guy with a track record of success and knowing what to do at the major league level AND best of all, he has NO connections...none, zero, nada to the White Sox.

Because all that would do is allow Turner to give up 4 runs instead of the 1 run.

He'd be too expensive for JR.

It's like the NFL combine.

 

His windup sucks. Hitters see the ball well. He can't throw hard enough to get anybody out.

 

Once again why does Coop have a job?

Yeah he holds the ball in one spot for a little over a second so some hitters with a good eye might be able to pick up what pitch it is.

 

His windup reminds me of one of those little league windups when they first start teaching kids how to pitch. But it's a little sped up.

That's when your scouts need some common sense that if a guy has those habits in high school, college, minors or whatever it is not going to change.

 

55 innings 37 hits 12 walks 61 strikeouts 2.13 ERA. 0.89 WHIP

 

 

Boy does Nate Jomes suck.

Pinch hitting Navarro for Narvaez made literally no sense. Putting Turner in a tie game in the 9th inning was mind blowing.
