7-9 killed them today. No reason that Alberto, Zavala, and Marisnick should all be in the same game at the same time. 

Alberto at least hitting well recently. 

Zavala has been merely another Colas Romy Sosa Andrus at the bottom...rally killer. 

How many times this year have the White Sox had scoring opportunities like in the second and came up with nothing?

Jay Cuda got you.

 

 

The Sox have scored three runs or less in 25 of the 45 games played. 55% of all games.

That's what happens when you have a few automatic outs in the lineup to go along with a bunch of undisciplined free swingers.

 

Errors and bad base running. It doesn't seem to matter  who the players are or who is running the show. This seems to be an eternal White Sox trademark.

It's called fundamentals...an unknown word to this organization, and like with the front office there is no accountability for being "baseball-stupid."

The Sox are actually lead The MLB in least caught stealing for the second straight season.

2023: 2 CS, 25 SB (92.6%) #2 = 4 CS

2022: 10 CS, 58 SB (85.3%) #2 = 16 CS

 

You need a rookie manager to run an under-achieving squad.

Well, exceept Ventura for 5 1/2 months in 2012...Ozzie was very good at beginning of his managerial career as well.

It’s hard to win games with not scoring with the bases loaded and no outs, not taking walks and awful defense as shown by TA today.

Our 7-9 hitters have been brutal this season.

I sure hope Colson works out, because I think he’ll have a wide open opportunity here if he does.

Burger likes to swing; rarely takes a pitch.

He is not the only one.  Sox hitters don’t like to take walks.  That’s why we don’t score many runs with lots of hits.

Once Hendriks comes back and with Crochet back. The additions of Santos and Middleton- the Sox may have something in the bullpen. 

And Kelly has been much better lately.

Reylo should be traded...FA at the end of the year anyway and they will never offer a QO in a million years. 

 

Zavala magic from 2022 gone.  All the way down to .156. 

CLE now 7-20 when scoring three runs or less. 

Sounds like the Ohio version of the Sox.

No killer instinct from this team. A sweep would have been a nice little boost. Grifol gives me zero confidence. I would like to think they would come out with some fire this weekend after being embarrassed by the Royals last weekend but I really do not expect them to do so.

 

Grifol looks like low energy.  Not what we need with this bunch. IMO.

I do not disagree and the joke is he got the only RBI today. Pathetic offensive effort today.

No homers generally mean a loss for the Sox.

Very true 

We are back to the old dilemma of the bottom 4 in the lineup having no power, and our leadoff hitter also has lost his power.

Those first two wins of the series (with homers) were making me think Sox were gonna go on a binge at least at home. They were awful today; as dull a game as they've had all season.

Yep those 2 wins sucked me in again, then today happened. They really need a sweep of the Royals.

He's thinking about those big contracts those free agent short stops signed this off-season.

With White Sox fans luck, Jeb will take over after Jerry departs.

Seby sucks. I mean no Fucking plan just Fucking whale at everything. Oh have a game tim

Seby not only sucks, but it gets me even more irritated every time I think of the brilliant Rick Hahn trade giving away Reese McGuire for our recently departed DFA Jake Diekman.
