Moncada's had bad at bats like that late in the game.  That at bat was terrible. 

Guy has been maybe the most clutch hitter in baseball this year.

Still a big lack of power in the lineup

Jimenez and Robert would have helped solve that. And yahoo sports is saying it's a hamstring injury for Madrigal.

I mean... they're averaging nearly 5 runs a game over their last 8.

And doesn’t it seem like a big portion of that has been against the bullpen?  Need way more production earlier in games.

Ugggghhhh..tired of it all. For all the manager moves, bullpen collapses, defensive lapses, poor umpiring...its this friggin 4, 5, 6 hits a game that really bites it for me. If I wanted non scoring sports entertainment like this I'd watch soccer.

Lamb failed twice tonight to get a runner from 3rd with 1 out... 

fucked the team royally.

Yes, but Jake has eliminated the leg-kick in favor of a toe-tap, and so is therefore highly great and stuff. Apparently.

We have elements of a great team, but we're not there yet.

Just too many loose defensive plays...and a bullpen that's lacking that "shutdown" mentality of the 2005 club.

This pen seems more like they're waiting for something bad to happen, rather than creating their own luck.

?

The game threads are so laughably toxic when the team loses one game to a good team.

No team in baseball is great so far if the White Sox aren't great.

I think the umpires eyes are covered up sometimes by his mask.

Hasn’t pitched I’m almost two weeks. I wonder why.

This bullpen is soooo trash. Need Kopech back now. 

Also, anyone who thinks we don't need pen help at the deadline really needs to reevaluate that stance.

Does Carl Edwards Jr have the 9th?  Pretty please.

Late game bullpens are tougher to hit than starters. If anything that's impressive, not a shot at the offense.

To be fair, we had a lefty sandwich in this 3 game series so I actually thought this would be the 1 loss even with Lynn pitching. That being said, hope we have some 9th inning magic!

Maybe but last night and tonight were terrible.

They’re not eligible 

I didn’t think so, but they were on a BA Top 100 list I saw a couple days ago.  Regardless, we may not have a top 100 prospect heading into the offseason unless Kelley comes back strong, Cespedes finally arrives, or our 1st round pick comes out of the gate incredibly strong.

Teams lose games. Good teams lose a lot of them even. On to tomorrow.

My guy Matt foster letting me down again!

Damnit who broke the site

Fucking bullpen implosion.

Foster just hasn’t been the same since about game 50 last year.  He desperately needs a better curve or slider as they just sit on his change

He apparently throws a slider, but I've rarely seen it.

Foster needs to be designated for assignment

This one stings because it was gift wrapped to Toronto.  It's not like a good team came in and beat us.  We fucking handed it to them.  The umpiring handed it to them.  TLR handed it to them.  The defense handed it to them.  Our 2,3,4 hitters handed it to them.

Brutal loss.  Going to bed in a bad mood lol

Foster is frustrating to watch

Losing because of bad luck just sucks and Jordan Romano is annoying.  I'm not in the mood for his antics.  

Also Dallas is the kind of guy that can get pounded tomorrow then you have the whole cant be good teams narrative.
