Robert has been awesome but once again, over aggressive hitting leads to an easy out.

Take the good with the bad, hard to get mad at him

Cleveland is licking their chops right now. They have a chance to sweep the Sox now and get back right into the division.

Problem for Cleveland is that we have at least three stoppers ready to rumble.

If Liam needed an inning, he couldn't have pitched to get us out of that jam last inning?

But come on, Jace is a long reliever that always excels in multiple inning appearances.

Not mad at him, hence "Robert has been awesome". Frustrated with the overall super aggressive approach by the team.

Hendriks will get an inning after this one has been decided

Hendriks is in, and they leave Fry in for 2 innings in a close game.  Those 2 last Cleveland’s runs with 2 outs again were a killer.  Our vaulted bullpen is getting scored with 2 outs quite often.

 

 

 

Bullpen usage today is a joke.  LaRussa does love to use every guy on his team.  I'm sure Goodwin will somehow get in this game before Sheets.

The White Sox are last in baseball in runs scored after the 7th inning....well tied for 29th now with the Texas Rangers.  That is my main issue with this team.

Bullpen usage is absolutely magnified when you are one of the worst 3 teams in baseball at scoring after the 7th.

Well atleast TLR got what he wanted.

That was the play against all those righties, and they could have brought Bummer later.  Hendriks does not need the finish the game himself.

FRAME. THE. BALL

An excuse to get wasted with the team after they clinch on the field?

They’ll be celebrating in the clubhouse in 48 hours. And then they’ll lose the second game 9-0.

TLR never pinch hits our big guns late when they are resting sitting on the bench.

Notice how we kept throwing lefties out there when the Tigers put a lineup out to hit lefties? It made no sense.

Yeah they will celebrating in the clubhouse and they’ll be so out of it that they won’t know they will be losing the 2nd game.

Eloy has left a small army on the bases today

That will be fine with me. They’re not passing Houston so just clinch ASAP.  I don’t want to get to Sunday night with Indians sweeping the Sox.

Abreu up in the count and swung at a bad pitch. Got himself out.

He should not have been hitting 5 th today.

I disagree with Stone 

Would we be in 4th place if in the AL West or AL East?
