As soon as someone gets on base, the at bats go to hell 

Chihuahua offense

High fastball pounded into the ground 

1 hitter left on the 1st time through the order, no hits.

When does it go from “taking it easy” post the all star break to this is just the team.

We had the lead off walk on and did nothing with it. Great offense we have. Pathetic!

There is zero chance TLR doesnt start Keuchel in one of the first games.  He has playoff experience.  He will bathe in his former stats and watch in confusion when he gives it up like has this year.  

Is someone going to step up and be a leader in the clubhouse and light a fire under this team?!?! We are embarrassing ourselves.

Goodwin is a perennial DFA, not an everyday or even a solid platoon outfielder. 

Guys are hurt now, so I understand, but the Sox are in trouble if he’s playing at all in the playoffs.

Thankfully, it was a minor (early innings) victory for Dallas… to wiggle out of that (self inflicted) jam without more damage.

 

After having a solid 1st year of his contract, Keuchel (this season) seems to be a shell of his former self. He routinely feebly attempts to nibble at corners (missing way too often)… thus creating far too many counts for hitters to sit on his meatball subbstandard fastball.
 

Unless there is a dramatic turnaround, in his effectiveness, in the final 8 weeks of the regular season, he may not even make the post season roster. This is not even close to what they anticipated when signing the (deflecting blame, excuse maker) to the large (multi year) contract (with which they are saddled.)

Not good

Would it surprise anyone to know the White Sox have baseballs third highest ground ball rate since July 1?

I don’t think it’s going to be him. Maybe Grandal or Anderson. Somebody please. Lol

Same thing as last year. We feasted on bad teams and didn't do well against good ones.  I thought that when we made our additions this year it would change that tune.

How many teams have a #4 better than Cease? It's going to be a very small list, if any.

Cease sucks vs good teams though. 6 era vs above 500 teams. I'd rather go for a bullpen day if there's an off day after game 4

Not at all.  I am sure we have one of the most double plays hit into as well, as they come hand in hand.
