Man, our hitters are clueless

Gonna be a lot of losses considering the remaining games against the Twins and Indians.

16 remaining...guess we can see how Puig does against the AL Central when he’s not being held back by teammates from a fight.

jimenez with the Golden Sombrero...Moncada with another ouchie, this game sucks...except for submarining Diaz’s trade value I guess.

I know he's young but that at bat by Eloy in the 9th was awful....swinging at the first 2 pitches way up and in from a struggling pitcher.  Very frustrating.

Golden sombrero for Eloy.

I’m still shocked at how bad the hit tool has been.  He needs to really get that going the next few years, as a bad fielding corner outfielder with big power but mediocre OBP is nothing special in today’s era.

Slider low and away.  The death knell for McCann and most of our lineup.

Shop McCann

It’s almost like he would benefit from having a hitting coach that focuses on approach and stresses OBP

Team has gone from exciting to disheartening

That’s all Luis Robert will get...he better watch what Madrigal does with that pitch.

He’s seemingly has had multiple strikeouts in every game since the ASB. Only the Sox can have two offensive all stars who immediately fall off a cliff after the break.

Weakly ground out to 2nd?

Me too. I'm beginning to wonder a bit about him. Not that he won't be a MLB player, but maybe that he's Puig as a hitter with more power. Without the D/arm that is um, not that good.

And swinging at strikes.

every one of these coaches needs to be fired.

lmfao

Game should've been won in the 8th or 9th.  Clutch hitting seriously lacking.  An obviously not 100% Anderson is the only one to come through.

Turning point was 2nd/3rd, no out and back to back bunt attempts.

We will be fine 

Nice game....until they ran out of pitchers and brought in the organizational minor leaguers, which is about 1/2 of the pitching staff.

Sox are about 8-10 major league pitchers short.

pitching was okay... the hitting.. as its been mostly lately was horrific.

How many games and opportunities has Renteria cost the Sox with his terrible lineup construction. He has to go. He’s been great with helping develop the players but he’s awful when it comes to maximizing the talents of the guys on the roster and he’s terrible when it comes to in game decisions. He has to go, he’s done his job.

Yes, please.

Pitching wasn't bad tonight, but the offense is simply non-existent. They have scored three runs or more in a game only three times in the last 10 games.

Yeah, I'm done with Renteria. He's done his job. 

He's the John Fox for the White Sox. Help boost the locker room, develop the youngins. Time to step aside and let someone with a better tactical baseball mind take the helm.

You wouldn't have said that if Moncada didn't get hurt and had a 3-4 night with a homer and a couple rbis and Goins didn't have to hit cleanup all game...
