I know Cease can be frustrating, but getting upset because he didn't pitch over a 4 out inning vs the best offense in baseball seems very harsh.

Cease should have been more upset for the 4 pitch walk to the 9 th batter with 2 outs turning over the lineup to Altuve.

And then hitting Brantley and hanging the pitch to Gurriel

Yes sir, you can't/shouldn't do that. Then, the Leury play or lack thereof, doesn't matter.

If you're expecting someone to pitch a perfect game vs the Astros you'll be waiting awhile. Cease has been good so far tonight.

What about a hit and run with Jose and Moncada running.  Jose has been hitting into many double plays.  Also puts more pressure on the defense.

Engel was rung up on pretty much that exact pitch.

The Astros are the best fielding team in the majors, the White Sox among the worst. Robert's return will help, but others need to step up.

Dusty's team is fundamentally sound, La Russa's is not.

 

got a good feeling about av this inning

It doesn't help that the Sox also went from being one of the best shifting teams in MLB to one of the worst/least effective. Thanks, TLR.

Expecting not to walk the #9 guy hitting .172, on 4 straight pitches, IS just like asking for a perfect game. Good point.

Congrats on worst at bat ever Goodwin

He was quite literally perfect leading into that PA. Mistakes are going to happen. The next AB he induced a weak GB that should have ended the inning. Ultimately, 7K's with 1 BB vs the best offense in baseball is very good so far.

Anemic offense back on the table

Just got in, but I'm betting no commentary during the broadcast?

Rick Hahn can't let this continue. Can't keep looking flat against good teams.

I will agree, that even with the 2 runs surrendered, it shouldn't even matter, because we should be perfectly able to score more. But for whatever reason, we can't even get a hit against McCullers now.
