Let’s not take a few pitches and got the pitch count up there. Let Thor cruise 

I went to the bathroom and missed the top of the 2nd.

No. You misunderstood me. You know the Sox, they hate to pay older players unless you’re a 33 or 34 year old relief pitcher. Who’s to say TA Doesn’t look for that big payday after his contact is up in a couple of years. I would never trade TA at this point  the hope is TA is here for the next 5 years, Sosa playing 2nd and Montgomery waiting in the wings 

. 

Whatever they do, the Sox need younger players for those spots and not a growing number of 32+ guys.

Sosa could end up at third or taking over the Mendick role...pushing Harrison out in the short term.

the offensive game plan is to let the fans get to bed at a reasonable time tonight i guess

I tend to stay away form thinking firing coaches and managers ever resolves anything.   But how can Rick Hahn sit at home watching  the same games we do and at the very least not have canned Frank Menechino by now?   It's the  same crap every night with this offense.   I understand the old corpse manager is off limits, but make yourself look like you are busy and in charge and get rid of the batting coach by now.

AJ has been swinging it well lately??  Are there some games I have missed  Steve because I don't remember that.

He's hit pretty well in June fwiw

This team never works the count.

You didn’t miss  much. They are helping Thor pitch a complete game

Not the ideal shift for a high and outside FB.

The key to a nice marriage is never to go to bed angry.  Unfortunately I do not have that same type of relationship with the White Sox especially on these West Coast games.

No Grandal and No Moncada will do that. Those were the 2 guys who actually walked a lot last year. Without them this year, nobody on the team walks. Jose is leading the team in BBs for crying out loud.

Tonight will be my final opinion on Gio. If he pitches well and looks good I’ll be ok with him staying in the rotation. If he shits the bed again, I will not want him around anymore. I don’t quite understand how you can from the worst pitcher in baseball to one of best than back to one of the worst. 
 

will he turn it around again? Tonight may tell the tale. 

Oh good lord.

No one appreciated Moncada and Grandal last year even though they had very good years, this is what the team/offense looks like without that production.

In the last week he's looked as bad as he did early in the season, at least what I've seen.

He could not retire a batter tonight and be in the rotation in five days

I mean no manager on planet earth is yanking Lucas at this point. None.

This zone is tight 

This guy's strike zone is way too small. 

Gio is sweating like a dog in a Chinese restaurant

I don't think much has really changed, but his numbers for the month are good. That also applies to Harrison.

this team is such a train wreck lol

oh for the love of god

Lol, Sheets.

Gavin with the gold glove defense.

Oh. My. God.

That's what happens when you have Gavin Sheets playing RF
