Luis Robert is quickly becoming one of my least favorite AB's to watch.

He does not give a fuck where the 1st pitch is he is going to swing and look like Leury Garcia 

If this is the group of guys that you're going to run out there, I don't GAF about L/R garbage. You put them in a position to succeed:

Mendick
Robert
Burger
Abreu
Pollock
Sheets
Grandal
Moncada
LOLeury

Leury Garcia is NOT a Major League Baseball player.  Spare me with the utility BS.  This guy has to business being on an active roster anymore.

Booing for 5th inning Garcia at-bat was audible too according to Dodgers' radio.

Only Hahn and LaRussa could manage to make utility infielders the bad guys while sparing themselves.

Don’t hate the player, hate the manager and whoever offered him this ludicrous contract 

Well, he could also be playing better this year.  Not the manager or GM fault he can’t hit for shit this season.

Leadoff man 0-4 with 3 ks and pop out to catcher.  

Booing was very audible.

 

Boo TLR for penciling him in at leadoff.

Luis and that stance just isn’t getting the job done. Way to go Menechino 

I've been disappointed in Robert in the power department. He's actually starting to remind me of Moncada last year. 

Just a ton of singles but without the walks.

Shame on Tony LaRussa for putting Leury in a position to fail.  

Lead-off against the Dodgers?  Really?  

The problem is the manager and front office, not the player.

If only player development was real

im not sure in the history of baseball there has been many players getting a lead off spot with those kind of DFA hitting numbers.

The thing with Leury is if you only use him sparingly like a 26th man, he’d actually be valuable to a good team. The fucking problem is thinking you can play him this much and as a leadoff man, no less. It’s a stupid fucking organization.

Vaughn needs to be playing also.  The Sox have had a ton of days off lately.

Me sick/Mendick hitting first is the clearest indicator of how badly this championship window has gone awry.

100%, but if TLR was hellbent on these 9 guys being the lineup today, and we all know, he planned it days ago, then let them be in a position to do something.

That’s a wrap

Yeah I got nothing against Leury, it's the management that's failing the fans.

Same with 3rd and 5th hitters.  When it boils down to it, just too many players having horrible seasons this year.  There’s a reason this is literally the worst offense by lefties against RHP in history.

How does the Hall of Fame manager not know this?

Even the hitters who have been good lately are showing signs of going into slumps. 

Ruiz is not good

On the bright side...we get to face Kimbrel in the 9th. 

Game is going to be 8-0 very soon

Yeah sure the White Sox already have a seat at the table for the Turner Judge Musgrove FA negotiations.

Everyday Trea/Tray wouldn't fit in here with how many off days TLR would force him to take anyway.

Nope. He’s on paternity leave.

It’s just a terrible offense.  Burger has saved this team the last few weeks.
