Why was he still in to face a lefty?  Can’t believe Detwiler is getting loose now. Ricky is a freaking joke.

Is Ricky sleeping?

Yep, clearly was there. He’s the worst 

So, real talk.   Has a Sox shift ever put the defense in the correct spot?  More often than not, it seems like if they had just played straight up, they would have been in the correct position to make the play.

No argument from me, I knew you weren’t talking about Fry but your sentence was weird so I see why it caused confusion

I understand i didn't word it right.  i get the confusion. That's why I told him i was talking about cishek.   And he gives up another run. Two out hits with risp the difference so far in this game.

We should maybe stop signing free agent relievers to decent $ contracts, not our bag.

Truthfully it’s a bad bet for relievers in general..remember Scott Linebrink?

Ricky asleep at the wheel again. Inexcusable that Detwiler wasn't ready for Gamel.

SHOULD HAVE BUNTED, lol.

Well, it's not like Arcia is a consistent run producer...that said, hitting away is the right choice the majority of time.

Another game Renteria has pissed away. Reinsdorf has rationalized managers are a dime a dozen to save some money.  This is all we're getting.

I have been saying this for years. Whoever sets up our shifts is so bad

With a 30 man roster, there is no excuse leaving him out there to face left handed hitters.

So much for playing with urgency. Relied on our two worst relievers (at this time) to pitch in a 2-1 game

Maybe stop peddling this stuff if it's been made clear to you that you don't know what you're talking about? (Bauer, not Huff)

Yeah, don't want to get too hung up on this but here are some classic crazy tinder broad profile quotes... not from girls on tinder but from Trevor bauer.

“For the longest time, I just couldn’t figure out why everyone hated me,” he says. “I used to feel really bad for myself. Like, Why don’t I have any friends? Why don’t girls like me? Why does everyone s—- talk me? Am I really that bad of a person?”

One morning, during his junior year at Hart, Bauer returned home from an early pool workout, took a shower and looked at himself in the mirror, feeling sorry for himself as usual. Then something flipped. “I don’t see anything that I dislike,” he told himself. “I’m going to go off to college and play baseball. I’m successful. I’m smart. I like myself.” From that day forward, he says, “I just stopped giving a f—- what people thought of me. And now I just don’t care.”

"now pitching for the red...white sox" Anyone else catch that? How dare you compare us to Boston. now we win

At least this lead doesn’t feel insurmountable with this offense. Bright side I guess?

I think I'm going to find myself saying the name of our most controversial insider a lot this year.  "Not Steve Cishek!"

told you. now we hit.

Ross gets the out without a pitch.

Detwiler for MVP!

So funny to watch a pick off because clearly benetti isn't at the park so he's as clueless as we are whether or not they have him picked off lol

Does that mean Detwiler has now faced one less than the minimum through 7 and a third this year?

Yeah, the quality of road broadcasts this year is honestly pretty bad (not their faults of course), and this is a big reason why

Should have known NOT STEVE CISHEK was going to be a jinx of a screen name/avatar.

I think the move Ricky and Cooper made to have Cishek pitch to Avi was not good. Poor matchup
