Holland demoted to pen?

I'm not sure ive seen a team lose this much.... like 2 wins since the all star break?

 

I can't remember anything like this.

 

Kevan smith is the cleanup hitter. Just think about that

Padres, A's are up. Phillies, Reds and Giants are down. Mets lost already.

Holy s*** this base running is awful

What a terrible slide

I still don't see why Ricky doesn't give more reps to Yolmer at 3rd.

You can't expect much more, right now this is a AAA team but I guess that's how a rebuild works.

Because he's been horrible last few months, unfortunately

What a terrible slide

 

Actually it was a good try by Abreu considering he was out by a ways

Straight slide and he's safe

Devers stance and swing reminds me so much of Adam Dunn (Reds version). It's unbelievable.

Yikes, can't keep falling behind 0-2 in counts in the majors

This bad base running is getting comical now.

Lol so bad

Omg, this base running.

Lol so bad

 

Need to start benching some of these guys

That was not a strike on Delmonico, but Vasquez is a stud framer so..

had to hear that long monologue about how ricky was getting everyone squared away...

 

 

Then proceeded to see 3 dumb base running mistakes...

 

Not saying I blame Ricky... but just spare me the BS hawk....

Is it that much? I thought he had a year left at 12 million.

 

EDIT.....per Baseball Reference he gets 21 million in 2018 with the Padres picking up 11 million, 2019 there is a 2 million buyout.

Further testimony about the brilliance of General Managers everywhere.

More and more I'm swinging towards the notion that when (if) these kids come up and are good RR is not the guy to lead them to the next level. Scrubs or not, how stupid do you have to be to make these kind of base running blunders and why isn't the staff able (so far) to put a stop to it.

 

I guess that's why the vast majority of the guys on the roster right now are Triple A cannon fodder. Little actual baseball sense.

Who were the three players benched for not running hard earlier in the season?

 

By my count, Moncada now has 20 k's in 58 plate appearances (9 walks, hbp).

 

 

We have a lot of "25th/26th players" on a big league contending roster now. Hanson, Saladino, the catchers, Engel...pretty much the entire bullpen, Shields, Pelfrey and Holland. Yolmer is seriously fading, too. And even Leury doesn't look like the same hitter he was before his hand/wrist problem.

 

Of course, we also lost Avi, Frazier and Cabrera from that line-up.

Tonight's game was pretty last-placeish from a White Sox standpoint. What a truly horrendous and dull baseball game.

It's not hyperbole to say the current squad the way it is composed is one of the worst in baseball history. The starting rotation is so bad it assures no more than 20 wins the second half. Rinse repeat statement on the current bullpen. You really only have a chance right now, a chance, when Rodon is pitching or if Miguel happens to have a "good Miguel" night, which have become very rare. It's like KU football right now and the last several years. If "somehow" KU happened to play a good game it still would lose because of a blocked punt or pick six or fumble returned for a TD or blocked extra point. If the Sox happen(ed) to play a good game they'd normally still lose cause of getting picked off base or an error on a simple fly ball or bunting taking them out of an inning.

Between 100 and 110 losses. How many is up to conjecture.
