Need to rest their arms for writing those 2022 season ticket renewal checks...

12+ walks by our pitchers and no XBH.

 

thats all that needs to be said. you won't win series like that.

Sorry man the walks are killers 

A literal .000 ISO.

 

And Robert not knowing he walked is literally the perfect encapsulation of this series

The way the Sox played in the second half, no one should be surprised by this for shit performance in this series.

Thank you.

WTF is Luis doing 

At least Robert is a stud, even if counting to four is a struggle.

Luis didn't want to walk lmao

There was no switch.  Everyone one of us raising the alarm about  how they were playing ended up proven right.  And it sucks. 

Watch Abreu hit into a DP

Is Houston this good are the Sox this bad? How would either fare against TB  or BOS later?

Houston is a very good team but the White Sox are completely unprepared mentally and physically for this series and Houston is taking full advantage of it. 

Have to make them pay for a leadoff walk

This season has been so bizarre I don't even know what to say. The team has shown big time flaws yet every day you'd look at mlb.com and we were up 10 in the standings. It's not over yet but team is continuing to look totally overmatched against the elite teams it plays. 

For the record I haven't given up but you have to admit this season has been very unusual

Robert single handedly carrying this shitty offense

We just a speed bump for the Astros

The offense has actually been far more disappointing than the pitching in my eyes

It's as if teams in the playoffs are good and are using their best pitchers

He obviously won’t.  The real question is does Jerry open up the wallet and fill out our holes with legit talent or will Hahn be forced to add more Adam Eaton’s?

Jerry gave him tons of money this season, he spent it on Eaton, Kimbrel, Hendriks (only used down 9-4), Hernandez and extending Lynn (no stamina).

This team sleepwalked from ASB on and Jason B saying how they played would have no bearing on the playoffs was BS

You could tell Stone didn't feel quite the same. He would always say how they were a "good" team, but didn't go too far with the praise given how mediocre they were post all-star break. 

Although Jose not being patient and trying to hit 10 run homer will not help

The pitching is more to me, we saw this struggling offense for awhile.

If the Sox do get blown out at least AJP is the announcer not holding back.

Seriously, this was the most obvious outcome of any playoff series lol.

 

"Just wait for the playoffs bro! Kimbrel'll turn it on!!!!"
