Very disappointing. Pressing way too hard - on the bases, at-bat. Never gonna work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brijames1957 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 At what point do we all start to root for this team to crash and burn in the most horrendous of fashions so there will be no choice but to fire TLR, every coach, every support staff person, every front office person, and every grounds person. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is where many fans like myself still hold a little bit of hope. If all of a sudden the switch goes on and these guys perform like we had expected them to perform, they can easily go on a .620 - .650 run. Even with the shortfalls coming from the manager and coaches on the bench. The question is, will that switch ever go on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Hit Men Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 7 minutes ago, The Beast said: A couple of things: - I wish A.J. Hinch was the White Sox manager. - I wish this team would stop looking brutal on offense and come through with hits and hits with runners on like in 2020 and 2021. - They should be winning against teams line the Tigers and taking the series from them. - I can’t find a good reason to go to another game this year, with my all time low of one game possibly being this year. It’s sad. If Hinch, Bochy, Tito, or another solid manager led the Sox, they would guessing 45-36 at this the official half way point. The problem is the Sox spot their opponents 1-2 runs a game before the first pitch is even thrown: Poor lineup construction, platoon obsession over playing your best players (offense and defense) Hitters and pitchers unprepared against opponents. League worst defensive alignments. Not recognizing when a pitcher is gassed. Prioritizing Unwritten Rules and bullshit such as getting Tony's guys a personal "Win" or "Save". No sense of urgency at the end of games in terms of strategic decisions. Dog ass, uninspired effort by most players night in and night out. This is a complete and utter shitshow. The roster construction is a debacle, but Tony makes it worse, far worse, than it should be, 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 The Abreu at bat reminded me of the Sox at bats with bases loaded. Instead of acting like the pitcher is in trouble, Abreu was down in the count 0-2 after about 30 seconds and seemed way too anxious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been a year since they started this mediocre play. Took a half a season when he first started last year for TLR to get his grimy fingers around these players and ruin everything they had moving forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) Four hits is one big LOL. The Sox performance against the Central is one big LOL. Fans have had to suffer. Give us one joy by firing EVERYBODY please. Just let the Triple A staff come up and run the team the rest of the season or just let Abreu be player/manager and AJP be interim GM with Stone as consultant. We fans deserve something. Four hits??? During summer game at home against a lousy team? My gawd. And poor Stoney predicted early the Sox would hit tonight. Not mad at him. I feel for him being so dumb to say that. Not Stoney's finest hour. Gosh the Sox stink this year. and by the way, this game took 3 hours to play?? With so few runs and hits? I'd rather spend three hours in the library than watch that in person. Ugh ball. Edited July 8, 2022 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
