This is like every Sox/KC game from last decade

Worst Sox manager I've seen since Bevington. 

And that's saying something.

They're going to completely blownthis game aren't they? Herrera is now a gascan. Does Uncle Jerry care about how much money Hahn is flushing down the terlette? 

Seems like it’s been awhile since Anderson has had a hiccup

Kelvin Herrera throwing 93mph fastballs is just sad to see. He is either toast or hurt. Or both.

I think he's hurt...absolutely no explosiveness on his pitches.  With that said, his metrics sucked last year also.

One of the reasons it’s been explained to us why Renteria was selected to manage the Sox through the so-called rebuild was because of his ability to develop young players at the Major League level.  Not quite sure how effective a development opportunity it was for Lopez to stay in against those extra four hitters.  If anything, it was an adverse experience for the young man tonight, win or no win.  

Another reason is that he came cheap.  Why spend good money on a quality manager when you are in the middle of a rebuild? 

You do what the Cubs did--let him manage until the team is ready to compete.  Then bring in a good manager.

He arguably should've had an error back in the 4th inning.

He was actually good early in the season when he was throwing 96-98.

that's the charitable give the Sox the benefit of the doubt with a manager hiring reading of the situation.  This is the WHITE SOX.  They probably think they stole Rick from half a dozen clubs.

I remember people saying Herrera and colome would form an unhittable back of the pen after the first week of the season. The latter is more true than the former. Herrera is a pumpkin. Worse signing than Scott Linebrink

Alonso should have murdered that 2-1 pitch.

I don't think it was an error.  It was an absolute rocket off the dirt and TA was playing deep, it handcuffed him and he dropped it while backpedaling.   It would have been a helluva play if he made it.  

On the bright side, the guy behind home plate wearing the BIG DADDY #69 blackhawks jersey can make us all feel better about our life decisions.

Yep, until he bad back soreness 

Mr .178

So does his OPS have to go below 550 before he gets moved out of the auto cleanup spot?

Our savior McCann getting a homer here

94 mph fastball down the middle and he hits a popup to left.   How are you late on that?

He's done...he's gonna pull a Keppinger and just never be heard from again.

QFT. And that says a ton. 

Alonso's OPS would be a down year for a good hitting pitcher.

I wonder if we see the mystery DL stint sometime soon.
