Why call a slider there? 

Yep pitching to Upton like it’s five years ago 

Awful all around.  His stuff is too good to be pitching so badly today.

Defense doing Lopez no favors tonight. Typical White Sox baseball.

Castillo is so, so bad. 

He seems to have forgotten that a catcher is supposed to catch the ball 

Eloy can’t even get a throw from shallow left field to the plate.

I wonder if Cooper is going to have another aneurysm if people critique him again.

Such a cringe-worthy first ten minutes or so in that podcast.

The staff needs a change. It’s pretty clear Ricky isn’t going anywhere but i wouldn’t mind seeing Coop and Steverson go. 

Eloy is going to get run on all day.

Between the game and the broadcast, this is awful 

Eloy’s arm is going to kill us next year when those runners hauling ass around third actually matter. Get him out of there. 

I don't put all this on Lopez tonight.

How so?  There was only one play that should have been made, and he escaped that inning.

I always listen to the opposing team's broadcast. I learn a lot more about the Sox this way.

They might change Steverson since he isn't "one of the guys". Cooper is probably a lifer here because of Reinsdorf's loyalty.

People need to remember Ventura would still be managing this team if he didn't resign himself. Ricky unfortunately isn't going anywhere unless he decides he's done.

Shitty pitch calling and framing wasn't on him.

I'd laugh if the Cubs don't keep Maddon, Sox fire Riky for Maddon.

If I had to choose one to keep it would be Steverson.

This is one of those games where the box score will look a lot uglier for the core guys than their performance actually was. Lopez had a great fastball, Eloy is killing the ball and Timmy played great defense.

Does it do the Sox any good to just replace Cooper with someone in the organization that will preach the same stuff

I'd be in favor of them promoting Dotson honestly. Hell, I'd rather see Farquhar out there at this point. 

14th homer allowed by Osich. That was ridiculous to keep him in to face a righty. 

Thanks Yolmer. I keep forgetting to change my old avatar (I miss the Peavy surgery avatar I had but I can't find it). 

Edited August 16, 20196 yr by SoxAce

Osich better be DFA after tonight.  Easily one of the worst pitchers in baseball.

Get hot ron
