Why dud we give Bummer $25 million if not for those situations?

Two of last three games have been just pathetic. 

All 3. He got bailed out last night. 

ive been okay with trying burr in those situations instead of ruiz...

but it should have been bummer there... dont fucking get it at all.

Tony doing his best to try and put this game out of reach.  

And if Burr stays in, it will be more than a 1 run deficit.

Good question.

I guess I don't understand why Burr is still in with no one warming

So sick of these twins.Can wait till we don't have to face them anymore

The White Sox have utterly demolished the Twins this year. If they were .500 against the Twins, Cleveland would be right on their tails.

It feels like it doesn't matter.  I'm tired of Tony managing against the odds.

That was his "decision"? He decided to pop out? In a situation where he shoudln't have been hitting anyway?

Not pinch hitting for collins changed the complexion of the game.  My guess to not lose the catcher.  Which then don't start Zavala.

lol they're 17 back coming into today and it seriously feels like "objects are closer than they appear." This team is annoying year in and year out

I believe the criticism is by starting both catchers, he couldn't PH for either with the risk of having Mendick catch if Zavala went down. 

I'd have to agree it was too clever by half to start both, and bat them back to back, to fulfill his platoon fetish.

I wouldn't mind playing them another 20 x.

Good chance we win 15 of those.

How often do catchers leave with injury?  

Leury/Engel/Collins/Zavala due up....you HAVE to PH for someone there, right?

Zavala can't really be allowed to hit here .......can he?

The way they have been using Crochet is unacceptable. Why do they have him up if they aren’t going to use him in situations like this. I don’t get it!

One of those games not having a professional hitter in Grandal in the lineup hurts.

Well, that and our bullpen management.

Or lack thereof.

 

At least Moncada and Abreu are coming back to life, because we’re going to need some punch against the Brewers.

Tony was scared of the righty leading off the inning
