Listening on the way home....how bad was that missed strike?  They said Cave was gonna walk to the dugout 

Yup.

I'll never get over the Sox tanking a season just to turn that pick into the corpse of Craig Kimbrel

Awful.  All zone.  CB blew the call. 

Not even surprised. When you're a bad team, those types of things seek you out like a heat seeking missile (missed strike three leading to two run homer)

It’s not a closing situation, so according to the White Sox front office who traded for him, and made him a set up guy,, Kimbrel won’t be amped up as much and could get lit up.

So happy he’s sucking in a different uniform 

Lol watch him k the side

One K on the knuckle curve.

The way people talked about it, I thought he might self combust before reaching the mound

Of course he’s gonna shut these hacks down…

This was predictable with such poor plate discipline and the lack of freak show tools like Robert has

Colas can’t hit a major league breaking pitch.

The masters of fouling off pitches to hit

"Got a pitch there to hit, and fouled it straight back"
-2023 White Sox slogan

Lol swung through it down the Fucking middle

Dollar Store Chris Hemsworth is gonna freaking strike out the side. 

Two Ks. 

Codi Heuer still on the 60 man IL. 

 

Look on Vaughn's exasperated face says it all.

What a s%*# show!

Momentum is gone with the Harrison homer

Kimbrel came into today walking 21% of hitters and the Sox didn't even make him sweat

They're asking Burger to do something he isn't capable of doing. Just like AV in the outfield.

Burger struggling at 3rd reflects poorly on the org, not him

He could DH instead of Eloy.

Yep, totally the case!

Burger's career OPS, wRC+ etc are actually higher than Eloy's fwiw

And then what... just trade Jimenez for 30-40 debts on the dollar?  

Maybe send him back to the Cubs where he might miraculously remain healthy for a full season. 

Yikes...April might be a disaster...

Because he was largely protected from the toughest RHP matchups not unlike what Ozzie did with Viciedo early in his career. 

Similar players.
