On the positive side, Benettis HR calls have improved. Looks like he’s taking the mustard off and going straight dog.

Have you heard the Pirates HR call? Most cringy s%*# I've heard in a while. 

Diekman has to be released too...but no way Hahn does it tmrw.

Gas cans in the starting rotation is also a problem thus far.

Its the main problem. They've gotten no length from any of them, forcing  guys in early to cover long stretches who should be relegated to mop up duty. Now they are  getting exposed to long outings instead.

The Pirates are a good hitting team. Their problems are on the other side of the ball. 

Also - dafuq is with this rotation?

I don’t think the Sox  make changes much once you’re in.

Who else do we have at this point to replace him

Andrus can’t even hit in a game like this. 

Grifol told the Pirates' radio guys he has to try to protect his bullpen somehow for the second half...

This bullpen is brutal. Ridiculous how bad our organization is with developing any pitching. 

The White Sox should DFA Elvis Andrus, then re-sign him to a league minimum deal so he can rebound like last year.

Banks?  Really don't know but things are really a mess already.

Robert better quit hitting home runs or we won't be able to pitch a position player in the ninth

Your 15 games under nothing to save 

Long work week, noticed the Sox were already playing, grabbed a drink, sat down on the couch, was ready to put the game, then saw Jake Diekman sucks a fat you know what and has already made a win impossible.  So much for having a little fun watching White Sox baseball.  f*** Rich Hahn and the rest of these clowns.

Grifol has definitely had some missteps already, but....the best manager in all of baseball couldn't do much, when it comes to getting anything productive out of this pitching staff.

There are only so many garbage arms to choose from, when your starter goes 3-4 innings over and over.

Opening day, we were so beautiful then.

At this rate, most of them will pitch themselves off the roster. 

Why not leave Lambert in?  Can't be any worse.  He only gave up 1 run, thats pretty good for a Sox reliever.

Yeah I think I will take the Cubs pitching over this crap

but seriously, Hahn is the worst GM I’ve ever seen.  

This is settting up to be a long summer on the south side

Maybe should have gone with Scholtens instead of Diekman.

He might have to be traded to jump start yet another rebuild lol.

Like the Angels...hard to go anywhere without enough starting pitching or minor league depth behind it.

It’s a Hahn thing. Having no long relievers on the roster to start the season was insane.  He wasted so much money, he couldn’t even sign cheap relievers like Fulmer who are better than just about anyone we have.

at least they were smart enough to overhaul their pitching development program completely. The Sox seemingly have given up trying to improve there.

This organization will not get one cent from me this year.
