Hold them here, then Madrigal to start it off in the top 8th. STILL IN IT

At least we have top of the lineup in the 8th, but really hurts not getting at least on there.  Still far from over though.

Sadly, not that far.

If we had Ozzie as manager, we’d be up at least 5 runs in this game

110 mph, I hate this A’s team. 

Wow did he really hit it that hard? That's just bad luck man.

I know there are two more innings but I think that does it folks. That was our chance and we couldn’t come through. Darn.

I don't think we have the wrong Rick, but both Ricks need to be fired. Renteria SUCKS, HAHN SUCKS. Remember Hahn had to have David Rice and the PRICE was Tatis. Yes, we went into this series with only 2 legit starters because our head case Kopech decided tp opt out. I still believe it wasn't Covid but his ex-wife messed his head up also and with Covid and his divorce he couldn't get head on straight. HAHN did absolutely nothing at the trade deadline. In his eyes it seemed it was Clevenger or nothing. Renteria choked in the 1st inning and should have given Dunning 1 more batter and if he got him he should of pitched the second. Did i miss something. is Lopez hurt or not on this roster for the playoffs. As i've said in a previous post, the Cubs fired him for a reason. HE SUCKS!!!! Also as i've said, we need to hire a real manager, sign Bauer no matter what he wants, stretch out Crochet and see if Kopech has his head on straight. I'm not sure who else is out there. Can Rondon be 80%  of what he was?? Doubt it, but miracles do happen.LOL. Offensively we are solid for next year, bullpen, very good, Starting pitching is the BIG question after Dallas and Lucas. Can Cease and Dunning develop?? Maybe, but they may need a full and at least a half a year in AA. The offense is too good to waste and we can't weight. looking for miracle to pull this one out. I'm writing during the bottom of the 7th woth 2 on and 2 out.

Don't think we will be seeing Crochet next season.  Completely agree on Bauer, but that is unlikely.

No excuses. This team is brutal with RISP.

Engel crushed that ball. 110 mph off the bat.

 

 

Pitching will be the story but this offense has come up very small in big situations....2 games in a row. Can’t win like that.

This is on Ricky for stranding 10 and not throwing strikes

if it makes you guys feel better to keep saying this obnoxious shit that's fine.

 

But ricky is supposed to be the easy going guy that makes everyone play relaxed.

 

This performance look relaxed to you?

Not getting timely hitting but keep the faith. Madrigal then TA, LFG!

 

Keep negativity out of this thread!

Grandal is due for a homerun, just need Big Dick Nick or Timmy to get on base for him.

Soria is warming up, we can do this

Groundout with the bases loaded AGAIN

Mental midgets.  Big moments have mind fucked this team since 2006.  Been a problem every year.

It looks like a fuckin' playoff game to me.  Because it is.  He's a baseball manager, not an in-game sports psychologist.  

What a dumb take.

Do the As look relaxed?

They look focused.

Soria probably gonna get the 8th inning. 

REALLY hard to win a game where your starter goes 2/3rds of an inning, with one of your best hitters injured, with one of your best relievers getting injured after a batter, while leaving the bases loaded twice.

As such... we will win 7 to 6.

I wouldn't call hitting a ball 110 mph a sign of being a mental midget.

And we need to make them pay for that

Gut wrenching not to come through with men on. At some point, someone needs a big hit. 

Should have been much more aggressive on the basepaths earlier in the game.  Having guys on first and depending on multiple hits to score them was a mistake.  Thinking 3 or 4 runs was going to win this game is pretty dumb thinking.

God how I wanted to write “holy shit it worked”

Every time I try to post before the on field result it never works .

The White Sox philosophy of hitting v Oakland is evident today.  The A's are making the Sox relievers throw strikes and the Sox are bailing their relievers out.

Sox need hitters to work the count to balance the lineup.

It is not the hitting coach either because the White Sox hired the A's coordinator.

They need to emphasize that as it may well cost them the game today.
