Let’s go get Bauer and Springer. Maybe another league average starter too. Bring up Vaughn. Last two (or one) spots are a battle between Kopech Dunning Steiver and Cease.

Too many holes to overcome on this team. Inexperience bit us too.

Rooting for the As against the Astros.

Al Lieter called out Rick for pulling Dunning right now.

I hope nobody is fired and we add a healthy Kopech and Vaughn next year.  Plus another SP.  

 

Nomar ALMOST won me over.  He took some Badass professional ABs this series.  

again 4-28 with risp

And they will be bounced by the Rays or Yankees with ease.

Good season, Rick and team gave it their all this series. Too many walks and LOBs to recover today.

The ghosts of Jeff Samardzija and Todd Frazier are alive and well.

Let RR have it, Frank

In hind sight for today ...Foster should have been the opener

In hindsight, you have to stick with your starter. If you lose, oh well. Pulling the plug early usually gets you in trouble.

I'm feeling alot better today thank you. Just took the full 10-14 days. Doctor thinks I may have chronic issues after. But we'll see.

RR managed to save his job.

And he should lose it.

We had plenty of opportunities this series. We just couldn't come up with the big hit when it really mattered. The fact that we got only 1 run off Fiers probably lost us the game today. Cause he and Petit were the only guys we actually looked good against.

Nah.  The manager panicked.

I am as livid as I can be about that GIDP. They totally quit on us.

Sox literally hit 100+ mph screamers right at people today. Oakland caught evry break, the Sox pen was awful. It happens. 

Super sad. 

 

That said enjoyed my time here on Soxtalk this year, glad I found the forum. See yall February 27th. Lets get 1 SP, 1 RF, and pray Kopech and Crochet are healthy.

Also fire Ricky.

SP and RF please to go along with new pitching coach 

No doubt in my mind they end up with Pederson.

It's crazy to think the Canha single in the first inning would fuck us.

So he has to be in a no pressure situation to avoid choking?

Rick Hahn needs to pull his head out and fix this rotation. Figure out what your doing with Cease,Kopech and Lopez. Some need to stay or go. Can't give these guys time to figure it out now. 

Lopez shouldn't throw another pitch for the White Sox organization.  Clear messages should be sent what the expectations are for Cease/Kopech.  Still need to go get at least one real MLB starting pitcher.(and I don't mean someone like Gio Gonzalez)

Eh, they had a plan for Crochet to go 2-3, at least, IMO, and an injury fucked that up.

You seem awfully emotional and angry. I thought I was the one that needed to grow up and remove emotion from it? 

For someone you stooped caring, you seem pretty animated. It'll be OK buddy, I promise! 

Look at you. You can't even formulate a thought on the matter or refute anything I just laid out. 

All you can do is the classic internet troll slogan "Lololol You mad?" What's funny is you insulted me at every stop as well. As if you're totally just kicked back and chilling out. 

I am just so confused by you. 

 

Hey, look. If you want to wipe the slate clean and explain why we haven't been bad the last couple of weeks. I'm game. I do not think, for a split second, you could even begin to do that, though. Which is why you prefer the short, quick ad hominem posts.

How appropriate Mazara ends the season with a strike out with the tying run on base.

Hahn needs to go work in Corporate Manufacturing

Actually the tying run was in the batters box
