Time for players to wear masks or go home. 

Lol...we can’t catch break with this offense.

Hate swinging at ball 4

Smart not to give Eloy a fastball when he was up in the count.

Nice defensive play there by Plesac, 101 MPH self-defense clinic as he was falling back a bit and off balance.

Taking strikes, swinging at balls...not gonna work. Robert just swinging at air tonight.

Org needs to completely rethink their hitting approach.

Any sort of proper approach at the plate seems to be.....completely lacking.

“Building on a career high” and it’s only the 5th inning!

Indians pitching is good but it’s not this good. Going to be very fortunate to steal 1 win this series.

Robert's either not seeing the ball well in the twilight or he's completely out of sync, probably a little of both.

Looks like he’s guessing 

The White Sox have not held a lead since Saturday.

Jinx?

Yuck

This is painful

Luis Kbert

Plesac's going to win a Gold Glove between all of his pick-offs at 1B and his overall athletic ability and reactions on the mound.   Only gave up 1 SB all last season.

What we all know is that this team is going to hit ?

This situation is exactly when you need a strong manager that has faced live bullets in seasons that really mattered and can look you in the eye and provide leadership, especially for the young guys.

Renteria has none of the necessary tools for that.

They should waive him

The dreaded "in-between" reactive swing...rather than aggressively hunting pitches.

Do our righties really not think they’re going to see a breaking pitch off the plate with 2 strikes?

Yeah how dare they not score 5+ runs every game. Losers

It's like going to war with General Hooker or Burnside as opposed to Lee/Grant/Sherman.   

Giolito essentially a two-pitch pitcher, the change and fastball.  A bit reminiscent of Jose Contreras with the FB and forkball combo back in 2005 and early 2006.

When you don’t have a plan at the plate they’re probably not thinking much at all

Nice bunt
