I'm actually not that pissed. Maybe it's cause my expectations aren't high or maybe it's cause I thought we had no shot at winning this game with Lynn pitching. If this was a game last year, I'd be livid. 

Lynn still gave them a shot to win.  Giving the game away late stings.

they just have extremely low baseball IQ 

Too bad the Sox returned Avila. I can't imagine he does any worse than these guys.

Yeah this game is the product of us using all our best relievers yesterday. 

Just because Sheets bats LH, should not guarantee a roster spot.

Lynn was great. I'm just saying my incoming expectations for today weren't real high with how bad he's been against the Astros in his career. 

Take Diekman out please

Has a pitcher ever been released in the middle of an appearance?

So surprised the guy with a 4.99 ERA and such a high walk rate sucks

Diekman is just unbelievably bad.  They should have cut him like Leury.

and coaching, and elite talent, and superior minor league system

Sox are quite literally the complete opposite of Houston. 

White Sox 3 runs on 10 hits Astros 5 runs on 6 hits. The difference is the Sox flail and strike out while the Astros have like 10 walks

Alvarez was 3-7 off Jake, why would Pedro bring him in. Not good managing 

Diekmann sucks.  A fastball right down the middle to Alvarez with the bases loaded.  Might as well  have left Graveman to walk Alvarez instead. Dickman is only suitable for mop up duties IMO.

 

 

Hindsight 20/20, but stick with Lambert after 1 batter rather than Graveman on B2B days. It was bottom of order anyway.

Considering Yordan is just as good against lefties as righties, should have gone with the better pitcher there.

Whoever said Graveman=Linebrink nailed it.

That’s fair.

I thought Ruiz would have made a lot of sense vs. the bottom of the order. 

nice, lead off walk by the guy who gave the game away the previous inning.

yeah theyre not total fking idiots, HOU actually understands the nuance of hitting major league pitching. Sox are running out there with the same game plan that Charlotte uses.

Graveman walking Maldonado with 2 outs opened the floodgates.

Rick Hahn does not know bullpens

Too bad we don’t have Crochet available.  We don’t have a quality lefty reliever.

Astros just plain good
