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.

Who should have been running and when?

Who here picked Cordero to be our best reliever this series?

Seriously though adrenalined-up Jimmy C is the goat

This is on Ricky for stranding 10 and not throwing strikes

The game didn’t have to be put entirely in the hands of the bullpen. The manager made the decision. If they were going to do anything in the playoffs this year, you trust your future (Dunning) to make a leap in development and win a big game. Managing like you are scared of giving up a run in the first inning doesn’t win you games.

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

In a thread full of bad takes, yours are easily the worst. ?

And we need to make them pay for that

He's been awful in the postseason. Hopefully it continues.

Good job Jimmy

So we really disrespect Cordero too much

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. 

This is the difference between a veteran team and a team this young.

Dude threw 2.2 innings yesterday and still pitched well today. Props.

This. Is. It. Boys. I feel it deep in my soul

Playoff Jimmy is good Jimmy.... even when RR abuses him

Guess Ricky should have kept his man crush going with Cordero earlier in the game.

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.

lol... you dont think coaches have an affect on their players mentality?

but you want to call my take dumb... LMAO

He looked calm and relaxed.  That's definitely on Ricky apparently.

Jimmy gets the job down. Now let’s score some fucking runs.

Big Dick Nick single, Timmy double, Yasmani blast

Can we fire Ricky and rehire Ozzie before the 8th inning starts?   I’d guarantee victory if this happened.

bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

"ohh, no, I am sorry but the answer you were looking for was 'Who is Jimmy Cordero'"

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Agreed.  Good post

That's on Ricky for not willing them to hit

These statements could be transposed to any failure with one of our teams. Maybe we should of kept Manuel.  Manuel wasn't hitting or pitching. Neither did Bevington.

its okay keep crying it its making you feel better.

Sox didn't come through in some situations but they also had some bad luck with hard hit balls and line outs while most hits seem to fall for the As. Also the tight zone helps the patient As more than the free swinging sox hitters.

I think one has to be the leadoff single in the 1st by Anderson.  The other one i forget . It was after all a week ago ! Well seems like it.
