Is it true that Hendriks did not have to be the runner?

Lol Jason saying the same

Ah well. Well pitched game for the most part. On to KC.

Maybe the idiots in charge should have called up Gonzalez instead of Mendick.

there were, they're in the minors because the FO refuses to call anyone up. I'd rather have Collins hit for Hamilton there and then switch for Gonzalez for the bottom of the inning

zero fucking reason why Hamilton holds a baseball bat when the game is on the line, EVER

Good points.

I will never ever understand the hiring of TLR. The guy is pushing 80 and he is an alcoholic. Do you understand the effects of drinking for how ever long TLR was boozing it up? There is no way he doesn't have major loss of cognitive function. 

 

Hot Take Alert....Not really his fault but I am not enjoying the Liam Hendriks experience.

Should have pulled a Greg...it was pretty much inevitable with how they screwed up the top of the 10th.

Winker has been one of the best hitters in baseball.

Thing is why didn't he just run for Hendricks in the first place?

our closer has one pitch he can throw for a strike and people don't have trouble squaring it.

 

not good.

So you have an open base with two righties up next.  However you decide to pitch to their best hitter by far. He’s the worst manager I’ve seen.

Fuck JR. Fuck Hahn. Fuck LaRussa.

Tony La Russa as primitive as can be.

As primitive as can be.

Hahn is in Cincinnati. Time to cancel Tony’s plane ticket like JR and Schuler did to Fisk.

You also get a force at every base. I just don't get it.

Why not do a double switch with Mendick and Madrigal to avoid that.

I’m not worried yet, but we definitely getting our money worth so far.

This loss is 1000% on Tony La Russa.

Even Our Chuck just said there was some questionable coaching decisions. I hope Phil Rogers wasn't watching his spoiled White Sox fan ass.

Edited May 5, 20214 yr by Dick Allen

The whole offense should donate their game checks!

I still can't believe what I just saw hahaha

Doesn't walk Weinker to give a force at every base there too.

He honestly just has no clue what he's doing.

Sox outscored Cincinatti 9-1 in the series...and didn't win the series. Damn, baseball.

Good points.

He’s not going to get doubled up.  But Collins probably doesn’t make contact there, either.

Couldn’t really risk a bunt because then you get Hendriks injured at home, possibly.

he has been getting hit most of the year.

more evidence that NL-style baseball is dumb trash imo

Won’t get a new manager, but need a new outfielder, at least.

Literally doesn’t know the rules.  Enough is enough.

Or just DFA'd Hamilton and put Goodwin on the roster right away. Close to .800 OPS with Angels the last 2 years would suggest he's a much better hitter than Hamilton and the Sox need hitting more than they need Hamilton.

We need to figure out our outfield in the off day tomorrow otherwise we are fucked.  You cannot run Billy hamilton and Leury Garcia out there.  It just cannot happen.
