I was astonished when they did better than this last August. I didn't know how that team won a game that month on paper. If you didn't think it would be like this then you haven't paid attention. "Nobody knew it would be like this". You mean like that 61 win Cubs team? The Astros winning 160 games combined over 3 seasons? Come on guys.

Rick Hahn did.  And JR did, too.

Everyone who has seen what has happened on the North Side, in Houston, and what is starting in Atlanta should have known this was coming.

And this coming from a guy who felt better about this season than most.

Man this team is brutal!

This is correct and has been my approach thus far.  I've mostly been staying out of gamethreads because of the meltdowns from people who think for some reason we would be contending this year. Gio though. Never expected this.

A guy who needed to work on consistency and repeating his delivery, who got stuck at AAA for a while because teams pushed him too hard and he hadn't developed consistency, walking the bases loaded then grooving a grand slam?

By the end of the year I want Giolito wearing glasses that have a pirate symbol on them.

If we continue to be this bad, no they didnt. Big If of course.

There was an Astros game back when they were incredibad where they drew a 0 rating.  0.0

You realize this roster is so bad that Moncada, TA, and Reylo performing still results in a 60 win team?

Rick does.  Rick Hahn's White Sox are almost entirely developing in the minors

wait is yoan hurt?

Why is Moncada out of the game?

great.

The good news is, the Sox have a 5 game series with KC next weekend. They're even worse than the Sox. Some wins are coming.

This is really difficult to watch.

Now that's something actually worrisome.

Oh yay, Yoan pulled for not hustling. Renteria has these boys playing great 

It'd been a while since I had seen a walk

Hopefully. Right now we'd be on pace to be the worst team in the history of major league baseball. That's fun with sample sizes but still, it's not good.

Yes, we did. That’s on you if you didn’t. 

You thought they’d be lucky to win 55 games? Come on now

Benched Yoan.  Fine.

Rock bottom?

Thank God Giolito isn't an absolute must hit prospect because it's not looking good at all right now for his future. He might just not have "it".

you bench moncada for dogging it?  fucking really?  wow.

Well, with the except of that 2018 Reds team on pace to be substantially worse than the worst team in the history of MLB.
