The white sox have struck out 14 times tonight that tells the whole story. 

This team needs a spark.

Now Burr's getting tattooed. 

Burr coming back down to Earth, he had a good run. Go get them tomorrow and hopefully Larussa fucks off

Gotta love pulling Crochet after 18 pitches with a lefty coming up. They’re doing an amazing job of stretching him out this year.

Great job Burr

Welp. Rays are only down 1 now.

Sox are basically relying on like ten players from Charlotte to help try to win games.  It’s just not a very talented roster at the moment.

And now we see why cease was left in a couple batters too long.  This bullpen is a dumpster fire.

Indians actually have an 8th inning reliever 

In a stretch where fans said we would go 13-5 or 12-6 against "easy" teams after we got swept by Houston, we are in danger if falling to 6-6.

Yeah it's pretty disappointing. This was supposed to be when this team padded its record. The schedule isn't easy in July or August. 

Rays will have to walk it off. Went down 1-2-3 in the 8th.

I hate the way they've utilized him this year. I can't see him as a starter ever at this rate.

The 8th inning bullpen has sucked from day 1

Not a good excuse. We have a lot of talented guys that haven't played as well as they can. Including 3 starting pitchers and a few bullpen arms. Our roster is still better than Pitt, Seattle, Detroit, and Minnesota. We aren't playing like it though.

Should have been way more aggressive with trades a few weeks ago

Against Classe, it's pretty unlikely. Rays have been playing pretty poorly as of late.

I mean the good news is that Houston swept Cleveland. 

If the White Sox can go through the tough stretch after the AS break at .500, it will be tough for Cleveland to make up that ground.

They probably were getting bent over a barrel.

It’s because we have a roster full of AAA players right now. You can’t expect to win a lot of games with that amount of injuries. We have to start thinking about trades and hopefully that will provide a spark or hold us over until we get Eloy and Robert back.

How likely is that if we are .500 during our easy stretch?

No idea. How does getting off the sticky stuff affect Lynn and Giolito?

I have a bad feeling about the Grandal injury, so that means Collins must excel. Maybe he'll hit well off righties. Awful loss tonight but hey law of averages says you won't beat a team you dominate every night. Sox due for a loss to Minnie.

Better hope Robles sucks ass like he did against us last week. Otherwise this game is over.
