@ron883 boy Jose Ruiz does it again!

Ruiz's fastball is a bit slow today. He's usually 97-99. That fastball to Polanco was 95. 

Go figure.

Sometimes it costs them, other times it doesn't, but the Sox play every game with 1 hand tied behind their back

Sox have an insane amount of resources invested in the bullpen and have used it incorrectly two straight days

Luv to bring in Ruiz for the middle of the order while Kopech is loose

Hendriks has pitched once in the past 9 days. 

Would love to see the spin rate on a peak Matt Thornton 4 seamer.

What are they saving Kopech for in terms of winning or losing?  They still have Kimbrel and Hendriks, along with Bummer.

"luv" should've given it away that I was being sarcastic. I don't like to see Ruiz when it's 10-1 in the 8th

Not blaming Tony. He’s toying fairly clearly. But one run games are exactly where in game management makes a difference. Belittling that is wrong. 

I'm not sure I'm ready for a weekend of anemic offense.

Who the hell thought a commercial built around Hawk being disappointed would be a good idea?

Might have been my favorite commercial since Mean Joe Greene.

Loved they featured the Gordon Beckham dropped ball and Hawk’s anger. 

Why is Lamb hitting?

TLR just letting our lefties face their lefty. Feels like he really doesn't care if we win this or not.

If offense sucks for next two weeks, it’s going to get ugly with the competition they face

Doesn't seem fair that the White Sox built a super bullpen but MLB rules prohibit them from actually using it until it's the 7th inning AND they already have the lead

Or.  Or. He's not paniking and acting like every fucking pitch is the bottom of the fucking 9th in the 7th game of the fucking Worls Series.

Just seems they care way more about tomorrow than yesterday and today 

Old friend Juan Minaya warming lol

This x 1000000 

The bullpen usage is irrelevant when you can't scratch a damn run against the lowly Twins. 

The Sox have gotten 6 stellar innings for a bullpen game.
