lol, right on cue. (Waits for "I was in a meeting, just got back in front of my computer) ?

Actually listening to the amazing Sox broadcast in the car (don’t worry, I’m not driving and texting).  I’m not even mad about the game, there’s literally one person  on the field that even matters and he’s having a good game. The Chicago Dogs probably have more players on the field today in two years than the Sox do.

You just can't expect things even could go well with Detwiler on the mound. I can't wait for this rebuild to be over so you can actually root and expect to win, especially vs. crap like the Royals.

Yolmer is so helplessly bad right now.  Its sad.

Would you rather they win today and Moncada continue his slump or lose and Moncada play well?  It’s a no brainer to me.

I really doubt one game vs. KC in July is going to determine Yoan Moncada's future fate. This good loss for the rebuild crap is crap. It isn't one game or one week's results. It's long term, and the Sox will need more than Moncada being good to be g good team. What's good for the rebuild is as many players playing well as possible and that actually leads to wins.How did owning the Royals work for Matt Davidson?

But there’s possibly only one guy in today’s lineup that is starting next year. Why would Castillo doing well today and leading them to a win help them next year?

Jorge Soler has future White Sox written all over him. Last night he pulls up on a foul ball and almost has it him him in the face with no effort to catch it. Then gets thrown out rounding second a bit too much. That's about as White Sox as it gets.

So if Moncada went 0-4 with 4 k's, would that be a devastating blow to the rebuild? I prefer to watch them play well myself. Besides, if the draft another Madrigal, people complain, too little not enough power, every team plays him like a pitcher. If they use their losing to draft Vaughn, can only play 1B. is only 5'10".....At least winning makes more people happy than whoever the prize is for losing.

I would enjoy it if they continued from the first half also, but this roster right now just isn’t competitive. 

It says foul bunt on game day for the first pitch of Yoans AB. 

Is that true? If so, W T F

105 degree zone now...

Renteria can’t be let go fast enough

He bunted foul on the 1st pitch.  Booth guessing he was trying for a hit.  My reaction was WTF too.

Clearly playing for one run is smart with this amazing pitching

Even if it was his call, someone needs to get in his ear and tell him he's one of the better hitters in baseball so stop. 

2 on, 0 out for the heart of the order and can't score.  Outstanding.

No doubt!

Yep, even if it wasn’t Ricky’s call, this is where more of the low baseball IQ crap we’ve seen comes into play.

Until we start hitting, maybe it should not be called the heart of the order....maybe the spleen or the appendix?

I win the prize of further outlining that you have no idea what you're talking about.  

I will tell you what Mr. Baseball if you are correct I will make a $25 donation to a pet charity, and if you are correct you do not have to give anything, even you Mr. Baseball would like that I think, and talk is cheap.
