You mean a guy with enormous power who rarely tries to pull the ball in the air?

describes TA as well now. All of our hitters, the longer they play here, get worse. It's unreal. What are we doing? Why does TA only look middle out now? Why do Eloy and Robert stand a billion feet off the plate with a wide open stance only to not be able to pull the ball with power middle in? And forget about junk away, they will never be able to cover that part of the plate with their approaches.

A guy that hasn't been around the Sox too long like Burger actually has a productive approach and can cover most of the plate while pulling the ball with power.

Sox continue the trend of overusing their young Bullpen arms while Kelly, Graveman, and Diekman sit and rest for the playoffs?

Jason will be pleased to report the Sox will remain within 7 games of the Twins as they are down 8.

He will not mention Kansas City can catch the Sox with a win today in Arizona.

No matter what in life, when people start to  spin, there is a big problem.

The water is so poisoned in that clubhouse that I don't see any salvation other than a complete burn down. 

They've built a culture of mediocrity and quitters which to the front office is acceptable.

I liked the Pedro hire. I loved how he talked about preparation and going out and kicking the opponent's ass every night. Obviously, he can't execute. So either it's either the players or the staff. If it's the players, Hahn and KW need to go. If it's the staff, they need to be replaced while you can still salvage something. Which is it? TBH, it's probably a lot of both.

Both.  Un fortunately the problem was comprended by the tough schedule so far against top teams and no Royals or Detroit.

Anything more than a one run deficit for this offense should be considered bullpen mop up time.

Are any of them healthy enough to pitch more than twice a week?

Can they send Robert down to Charlotte to work on his swing?

Why so it will get worse? ?

He needs another organization to fix him. 

Burger has played an adequate 3B so far since taking over.   At least they have a fallback for the next Moncada DL stop. 

 

Game is over, because the team sucks, so...hey, lets try and burn Lambert's arm out, Cordero style.

Grifol reminds me of a corporate manager with his manager speak. Probably has motivational posters on his office walls with sunsets and mountain vistas

Our infield defense, without Yoan and TA, is just atrocious.  It’s like a sieve.  Any ball not hit right at them goes through.

NO, and they weren't when we signed them either, especially Kelly.  Just bad signings by slick Rick.

Should have gone after Joey Gallo in the off season.  He hit his 7th Homer today, which would lead the Sox.  Of course, in a Sox uniform, He would have about 2 home runs.

Move him to the FO and bring in a real kick ass manager.

Last night game thread: "will the White Sox win another game?"

The White Sox have a 4 game series at home with the Twins in Mid September.  All the Sox have to do is make up 3 games on the Twins between now and then and sweep Minnesota to tie them up......

Tmr's: will the Sox ever get an out?

7 innings, 1 walk, 12 K's by this team.

 

NO ONE's job should be safe, with how this organization looks right now.

Even when Kelly was good he wasn’t that good. Pretty good, but he was overpaid even with the Dodgers. He has been paid based more on stuff than actual results

It just seems they’re not even trying to win.  Hahn should be fired in the next 24 hours

Move Moncada back to 2B and send down Romy.

The hitters seem like they’re ready to board the plane to Chicago.

I mean, between Sosa, Romy, and Andrus we may have the worst three let alone the worst one

Our 7-8-9 hitters this season have been terrible.  Three outs dressed as baseball players.

Or benched for Sheets, Romy, and Eloy.
