August 15, 20205 yr "That's just the game of baseball, folks." Predictably will be uttered post-game by RR. "Don't know what happened with the pen today, we have a lot of faith in our guys coming through, didn't get 'er done. Need to get on the road and bounce back quickly tomorrow." Oh, and we still haven't even faced their far and away BEST pitcher in Jack Flaherty, Giolito's high school teammate at Harvard Westlake. Edited August 15, 20205 yr by caulfield12
August 15, 20205 yr I missed the second half of game two, but this team doesn't deserve to be a playoff team. I still think they'll get hot at some point, but the measure for error is shrinking by the day and I still don't see a sense of urgency from the coaching staff or players.

August 15, 20205 yr Hahn couldn't put a serious World Series contending roster together to save his life.
August 15, 20205 yr If they get swept this series, Ricky should get fired. He won't...but this is pathetic. Zero preparation from their offense is just sad and completely on the coaching staff.

August 15, 20205 yr YES Abreu is part of the problem. We signed him thinking/ hoping he could be the “Big Papi” for these young WSOX players. Instead hes setting an example swinging at a bad 3-0 pitch and grounding out meekly to the pitcher.

August 15, 20205 yr 13 minutes ago, justBLAZE said: Did Abreu really say Keuchel's speech was unnecessary? Abreu loves playing with zero pressure. He doesn't like the pressure Keuchel put on him to win. It's pathetic. The guy has never been on a winning team and it doesn't seem like he cares to be on one. He just wants to be the "leader" of the team, joking around and having a jolly old time on the field while having zero expectations.
August 15, 20205 yr Like Guillen said in post game. Cards organization is built to win thus seemed to not miss a beat. The white sox too often just appear to not be ready or prepared.

I still think they'll get hot at some point, but the measure for error is shrinking by the day and I still don't see a sense of urgency from the coaching staff or players. They’re not just a bad team but a bad organization that up against Cleveland and Minnesota will never win because Reinsdorf refuse to make the necessary Structual changes in the front office. There is a lot of talent on the roster but it is vulnerable to right handed pitching and plagued consistently by a rotten defense. And they have terrible luck with free agents in part because they always reach for the middle shelf for players that seem to be on the downside of their careers. Edited August 15, 20205 yr by chisoxt

August 16, 20205 yr That 1st inning in game 1 and 5th inning in game 2 were two of the most demoralizing and disgusting innings I have seen as a Sox fan in awhile, but that may be the Star Chicken Shotgun IPA talking.
August 16, 20205 yr This was a really brutal double header on many levels. That said, salvage the series tmr and go from there. The most disheartening thing is realizing Renteria has at least the rest of this year.
August 16, 20205 yr Ricky is going to ride Grandal and his sub .290 SLG% hitting 3-4 the rest of the season, as if he's got 140 games left to turn it around. The sense of urgency is so aggravating. 1000% Hahn will BS us this next off-season using the COVID shortened season as his and Ricky's crutch on why we shouldn't judge the team by this season's results.

If the Sox miss the playoffs in a season when 8 teams in the AL qualify, Hahn should be fired. Edited August 16, 20205 yr by Jack Parkman
