Tim’s just making baseball less boring. His errors make it exciting for the other team.

Tim is just having a rotten year with his errors. I still think he will be a fine SS in the coming years.

I can't get upset with Detweiler...he throws strikes - he gives them what he's got doing the best he can.

Clearly the Sox organization thinks the Charlotte postseason is more important. Even Stone reiterated that tonight.

Charlotte is in mental midget mode.  4 game WC lead soon down to one.

He’s borderline unplayable out there. Still infuriating they need gave Madrigal a chance to show he can play SS in the minors.

The Sox definitely need to upgrade defensively at shortstop if they ever intend to be a serious World Series contender.  

Good for Yoan

I don’t think people realize how incompetent this team is defensively, according to metrics

Watch Skole GIDP right here. 

That was an absolute cookie and he missed it.

Nice to see the big guys all reach this inning

Certainly.  And you can't expect to build a serious contender with poor defense and fundamentals.   

Hopefully Robert and Madrigal provide plus defense at CF and 2B, but they need to replace Anderson at SS to have a solid defense up the middle. 

Amazing that Castillo is going to stay on the roster all season.

Great reaction to a guy having a bad game with the glove. Trade everyone and send down the rest 

matt skole… another long line of world class hot garbage the CWS manage to find for a LH DH

I'm not sure you could find some horrible players if your main objective was that they were horrible.

Especially with the juiced ball. Everyone and their mother hits double digits, and the Sox can’t find a DH that can hit above .200 with minimal power.

Hate to tell you bro.. but coming in Tim Anderson had a negative dwar raiting.

Before tonight.. Tim makes some flashy plays sometimes - but overall he is a poor defensive shortstop.

Really would it actually surprise you, not me, although I think he could be gone if Collins comes up.

I think you are being sarcastic, regardless if you are or not the White Sox cannot  have him as there shortstop if he does not improve his defense considerably.

Bad game?  Bad Game? That's 24 errors in 98 games played, including 4 in the last 4 games.

I like the idea another poster suggested on another thread: Sign Didi Gregorius to play SS, and move Anderson to RF.

yoan been cold lately.

We know. The Sox are 28th in MLB in fielding.  And that doesn't include the constant butchered plays that didn't result in an actual error being charged.

Perfectly played by Garcia. I hate the juiced ball.

I agree with your comment about the juiced ball.  It doesn't mean anything that Minnesota is breaking the record with so many guys with 20 HR's.  The juiced ball makes every hitting record suspect.  Just to much playing around with a game that has withstood the test of time.

Then they must hide the juiced balls when our guys come to bat. 

Eloy strikes out without seeing a strike. This whole team strikes out too much and refuses to walk.

Robert and Madrigal will help greatly in this area.  This thing of not calling for the ball just drives me nuts.  There is just no excuse.
