I really thought we didn't have a shot at winning this one after Lucas gave up a 3 spot in the first. I thought they'd split this series anyways so whatever. But then they actually come back...only to have the bullpen basically give the game away on a silver platter. The lone hit the Rockies had that inning was barely a hit. This team just knows how to claw your heart out. 

The team played pretty well.  Sad to see Graveman blow it singlehandedly like that.  He got screwed on a couple calls but it seemed like that got to him.  Gotta be able to pitch around that, and pitch to contact when necessary instead of nibbling.  Oh well, I know everybody here likes to tantrum after each loss but I predicted a split in CO.  On to the next one, need at least 2 of 3 from Oakland.

replace football terminology for baseball terminology and the shoe fits.

Pretty sure Tony had no choice

I wish they would have contracted this franchise back when they were talking about contracting the Twins, then moved the Twins franchise to Chicago and renamed them the White Sox.  It would be like History repeating and that organization with the big market resources from playing in Chicago would dominate the AL Central.

The trouble for the last 4 decades is that asshat and his cronies that own the team. JR, sell the team now and take the huge profit and move back to Brooklyn where you belong. We won in 2005 inspite of you.

You must not have seen Leury getting picked off 3rd base after a walk.

Id be embarrassed - they are playing baseball for fucks sake

 

 

 

Need a kick ass manager to whip them into shape. One sorry franchise!

Shelby Miller trade also during his tenure there

I can just hear Tony saying, he's not a utility player, he's a regular player who plays all around"

What’s incredible to me is that after a play like that, you’d think he be doing everything he could to make up for it.   Nope, he hit a one foot grounder and literally walked back to the dugout

He knows he's untouchable.

Pretty convinced if Engle is playing instead of Leury… we win.

Fucking Graveman and Kelly - horrible time for them to be hurt and failing with Hendricks on the rocks.

They played like shit today. Bad starting pitching, bad base running, defensive lapses, horrible bullpen, too many walks, blown save, questionable review decisions. It was nice to see them fight back from the early hole, but the sox definitely did not play well today.

He did make that one running catch on Iglesias but is so perfectly emblematic of everything that has gone awry with the rebuild.

Shit it would be terrible to have three straight playoff years FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SOX HISTORY.

That depends on how you feel about the 2020 fake season. 

The record books say the Sox are off the schneid, some people may feel differently. 

Literally the only things the Sox have going for them right now are Mike Shirley and Marco Paddy. I like the direction those guys are going on the farm. 

Too bad Hahn will trade all of those guys for mediocre or washed up relievers.

You’re assuming a two out bases load hit though.

That’s certainly not the Sox forte this particular season.

A chance to pick up a game on the Twins - put your fucking ace closer in the game!

You can be pretty sure Graveman will also go on the IL with his velocity way way down today…

it would be nice to communicate with the fans about Liam's status.

Well, if he hadn’t almost been hospitalized for oxygen sickness.

He probably did ask to go in, knowing Hendriks. 

So, if I heard La Russa right he said Graveman was all around the strike zone he just couldn't throw strikes. Huh?

You have to place the blame on the manager, who has been enabling this type of behavior, lack of concentration, lack of fundamentals, lack of accountability his entire tenure. Actually both tenures with the White Sox.

Hawk Harrelson was right the first time, bring him back to fire Tony again. Hawk Harrelson cares more about White Sox baseball than JR, KH and TLR combined.

Until you hate those players they brought in, in a few years

He was hitting 98 when he threw his fastball.

Even if the kids they drafted/signed don't work out, I completely agree with the process. 

I was/am a huge fan of Crochet, Montgomery and Schultz. It's not Shirley's fault that Hahn/TLR fucked up GC's development. 

Paddy is doing a good job given Jerry's constraints.
