Keep it in your glove, Tim. And your pants.

Shitty managing is what made it from a 5-4 game into a 9-4 blow out. 

27 runs in 4 games. That's not on LaRussa, though I 100% agree his management sucked. Get halfway decent starting pitching and this series looks different.

True, but he's one guy I still expected better from. 

 

Isn't ignoring that literally making excuses for the debacle in the dugout?

I am not making excuses for any of them.  Fire TLR and the entire coaching staff, idgaf.  They were outplayed from top to bottom.  It isn't just the managing/coaching, it isn't just pitching, it isn't just hitting(or lack thereof).  When you are asked to pitch you go out there and pitch and get hitters out.  Of course your not always going to have success so you figure out how to fix your issues, don't make excuses.

Altuve wasn't even running down the line.

As someone said....have a game TA

Bad body language, team has packed it in.

It's still crazy to me that Engel played less games than Eloy this year. 

Fewer, but whatever.  ?

Talk about someone who probably wants the season to keep going

Most of these cheating fucks don't even deserve to be on the same field as our players. 

Yep, losing with dignity is better than winning a phony title, hope the Red Sox punk these bitches.

Hussle, defense, attitude, intensity. Everything we don't have (and starting pitching)

A lot of that is! That's what happens in the playoffs when you put pitchers in bad situations, and then have guys in poor positions behind them!

Wow they’ve quit.  This is pathetic 

Lets face it, we just arent that good of a team

1 run scored in game 1. 1 run scored today. The pitching hasn't been good, but when you have to pitch a shutout to win, Menicino might be in trouble.

Yet AJ is gushing over his hustle lol. AJ is awful at announcing

To be fair, Dusty may have single handedly given the White Sox game 3.

He tried to today as well. The Sox offense just didn't do shit.

The Sox will be better next year tha this.

A couple players are on the up side of their careers,  a couple on the downside. But the upside looks better. 

AJ is on top of everything.  Would be a great manager.  Players may not like him but who cares…he’s a winner

I hate Brantley's 1 inch upper lip. 

Nothing rattles this Kimbrel kid

Is this the opposite of what Gruden said?

It’s pathetic how poorly positioned they are

Maybe we can get a catcher and not a dh playing the position.

I can always count on Soxtalk acting like a good White Sox team is actually a 100 loss team. And all wins were based on luck and departed players.

I loved the progress they made, the "next man up" attitude to overcome injuries that would have devastated a lesser team, and the emergence of some elite young hitters and pitchers.

But, so many here will bask in the glow of their "I told ya so's" and pretend to be fans while rooting for negative outcomes.

I guess congrats are in order for you. 

2020...Wild Card.
2021...Division. 

Next step...League Champ.

Keep moving forward.

Well put.  It's frustrating, but looking back at what this team did while missing A LOT of what we were counting on, we can see plenty of positives.

I think the part that angers many of us is now having the full team back, they didn't play very well.  Down the stretch and into the playoffs.  Whether guys got burnt out or bad managing or long slumps, it was a perfect storm of bad stuff.

 

lmao awesome positioning guys
