This team.

Come on, we had a love fest on this board just last night about how Diekman was the missing piece!

One of the Sox best starting pitchers goes up against someone making his MLB debut and they lose!  How pathetic!

But, did you really expect anything different? I said at the beginning of this thread that the conditions were perfect for a shutout. Almost happened. This team just shows no signs of life.

Front office can sit there and watch this awful offense

It’s what they do best

5-4 with ten more to go.

AL Central spot should be booted if winner finishes at .500 or below.

.500 will keep you in the race because none of these 3 teams are very good.

The band is finally back together!! Too bad they’re all bad now

What would Madrigal have provided this team? He hasn’t played a full season…ever.

Madrigal is like a lot of White Sox ... he gets hurt a lot. I think he may be a bust, too.

This Rangers pitching staff gave up 21 runs to the Orioles in the previous 3 games. We're honestly not better than the fucking Orioles and it's so disappointing.

Fire everyone and trade left side of infield this offseason 

You know Anderson would go to LA or NY hit 20-25 homers with 30+ steals and finish Top 3-5 in MVP voting.

Somebody here said splitting the series in Texas would be ok....they going to be able to do that?  Way to waste Cueto's effort boys.

It's been said so many times, but this is one of the least likable teams I've ever seen. There's like 5 guys even worth rooting for.

BTW, Tyler Naquin had 2 homers tonight for the Mets. Good thing Hahn didn't bother to acquire him huh? 

Sox:

Team RISP: 0-6

Team LOB: 9

 

Rangers:

Team RISP: 3-8

Team LOB: 5

 

And that's why we have another L that should be a W

Those last three outs were certainly grotesque. Kind of sad really. Hitters had no chance and seemed deflated (I know, unprovable subjective opinion by an angry fan here). Hitting coach must be proud of those at bats (sarcasm).

I thought they would split. Cease going tomorrow and Kopech on Saturday are games they should win.

Drury missed second in two days by about 6 inches of vertical.

 

Didn't Hernandez have just one or maybe two after the trade last year?

Another non competitive game by the Sox…Cueto was the only pro who showed up…

The Orioles looked tons better than the Sox at the game I went to.  The O's play great OF defense....we don't.

Great job Hahn! You fucked up the trade deadline by not getting an actual RF. What we’re you thinking?

They are like the Guardians and Mariners right now.

That he was going to look like a dumbass regardless so better to just punt and hope teams in front completely implode during stretch drive.

Missed opportunity with both Guardians and Twins losing.  Poor game by the Sox other than Cueto.  No homers.  4 misplays by Vaughn in RF.  Grandal an automatic out. TA 0-5 with 3 Ks leading off.  The usual groundball city offense.  No sense of urgency. No runners in motion.  No clutch hitting.  And so on and so on.

Reported for politics

12-22 in the first game of a series? Reeks of lack of preparation and focus. HoF level managing.
