He isn't worth it.  The new wet blanket of the board. 

Yep saying consistently saying this team sucks really is a wet blanket

This team just cant win when its close, not a playoff team. Cant blame the pitching staff as this offense is once again choking in scoring chances. No plan

2020 never ended. Bad situational hitting, inconsistent relief pitching and bad fielding

MLB needs to start fining these umps. Man this guys sucks horse dick

I think they were banking on Eloy turning into a 300/360/600 monster.  Well, so much for all that.

They were banking on every player in the ideal starting 9 being healthy all season. Funny how that didn't work out because it never actually does.

Sure thing!  Who cares. 

So glad we have Heuer throwing another 30+ pitch outing

Another ump playing draft kings!

Check their investment histories, lol...almost as entertaining as the Cowboy Joe West, Paul Lo Duca lawsuit that West just won for $500k.

tone policing game threads as the club is about to get off to a 6-8 start won't endear yourself to the fellow diehards that post here, just a heads up.

White Sox get early lead then stop scoring then get beat late in game over and over.

I wouldn't say it's hard work, I would just argue that to the naked eye balls can be very hard to see where they cross the plate. This is why it should be electronic.

Sure in a perfect world it would be electronic. But the fact is that that are indeed umps significantly better than others (at 90+% accurate)  just standing in the field most of the time is crazy to me. The umpires that grade out better than others should be paid to be behind the plate as often as possible while they still keep plate umpires

TLR isn’t really going to let Vaughn hit against Barnes, is he?

Jose Ruiz is the guy coming in with a rested bullpen in a 1 run game???

Then you leave Heuer out to dry or burn another reliever...like Ruiz.

TLR is doing to Heuer what Ricky did to Cordero. Running him into the ground so far.

Does anyone actually enjoy watching the Sox right now? They are so predictable: bad defense, overrated bullpen, & bad offensively specifically with RISP

Two years ago this would be a fine rebuild game: decent start for Cease, solid day at the plate for Anderson + a SB, and Robert with another oppo base hit + a SB... but that shit's over yet nothing has changed

I know TLR was going to make it more serious as opposed to "too much fun" like Renteria but the team looks as lifeless as he does

Not sure if I would go to Foster here though.  We don’t have Burdi, right?

We get an extra guy tmrw.

Feel like Foster has really fell out of favor...mostly because Tony left him in a terrible spot that 1 outing.

Wasn’t he bad last year going multiple innings?

Well said. 

Can we get Hanigar and put him out there for the ninth. Sure.

Not without Jimenez, 2019 Moncada and 2020 Abreu.

We were mentioning a few days ago how tedious and non-enjoyable it’s been this year.  Tony really sucked the life out of this team.

This offense is not coming back and they have 3 games in 24 hours.

I still love to watch Sox baseball but damn this team is frustrating.

Not even “Hanigar the Horrible” would help right now...Haniger would be leaving first place for last, haha.

With Lewis, Kelenic and Rodriguez coming, the M’s could start to make things interesting, but losing Paxton so early was a huge blow.
