fathom Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 On this day in 2006, Sox were 14-16 after the ASB. This year, they're 14-15 after the ASB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomtom Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Sure glad we didn’t use Kopech in the ninth. We may have had to go to extra innings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason to be upset about stranding 100 runners and the bullpen giving up runs every single game lol. Just trying to be a calming voice for the children.

How'd the 2005 team do in August and September? A slightly below .500 month doesn't disqualify you from winning the World Series, last time I checked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a team that is coasting Weird take, they've clawed back and made for an exciting finish despite having some bad luck with RISP. They don't appear to be coasting to me, they're just not getting the big hit and the bullpen gets canned everyday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't understand the concept of good AB's and making guys work when we have a pitcher on the ropes That will be our down fall in playoffs along with one of Kimbrel and Hendriks shitting the bed.

MexSoxFan#1 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) It's human nature, they easily have the biggest lead of any of the division leaders, I think they've gotten complacent. The Yanks played with more urgency, they aren't guaranteed a playoff spot. I take solace in that the White Sox mostly outplayed the Yanks but came up short these last two games but clearly played better in the FOD game in Iowa in front of a national audience. Then again I could be completely wrong 😂 Edited August 15, 2021 by MexSoxFan#1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing they had three games against the Cubs. Fans are assuming the the division is won. I wouldn't assume that just yet. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjusttyped Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) 3 minutes ago, reiks12 said: yep, Madrigal's .425 slugging didnt count He was 3rd amongst AL 2B in fWAR at the time of his injury. Until their recent hot streaks in August, Madrigal had a higher wRC+ than Tim Anderson and Abreu. He was a very productive player and people fixated on his flaws to a degree that will never make any sense to me. edit - Tim and Madrigal both actually have a 115 wRC+ on the season. If you want to criticize his durability, that's fine, but his bat clearly played at an above average rate in the majors even if he doesn't develop further at all.

ShoeLessRob Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 What’s the excuses now? We almost have a fully healthy team and the Yanks had several players on the IL/COVID. I thought we were suppose to turn it around? Almost seems like we needed more additions at the deadline? 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maloney.adam Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I’ll admit, this team doesn’t give up. Could be a good sign, or it could not be. We’ll see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hi8is Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 How many times today could we have taken a lead or tied it up if bonehead decisions weren’t made? - Failure to challenge play #1 at first - Failure to challenge play #2 at first - Error #1 by Cesar - Error #2 by Cesar - Error #3 by Cesar - 18 LOB - Foster pitching in the 9th And they STILL made it a game. This gives me hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
