This will be twice now that Stone and Benetti run their mouths about Clase blowing saves and struggling recently and he comes in and blows these guys away. 

Basically word for word from last game.

That draft looked amazing on paper. Then reality set in that if the Sox are high on a guy in the draft he probably sucks.

Yep, lesson learned. If they like a guy, they should not draft or sign him. In FA if they feel uncomfortable signing a guy, they need to bring the Brinks truck. They are legit clueless. 

Why doesn't he wear the same uniform as the rest of his teammates? 

Well.....you can't win if you don't score.

Tim batting first has been pretty successful or have you forgotten? So he is slumping he can turn it around 

Tim hasn't hit since last June. At some point, you have to be willing to try something else in the lineup. Well, I should say, a manager with a grasp on his team and the basics, would.

Yup, 15 no problem pitches last time and what, like 12 this time?

 

Not playing the Omaha Royals makes a bit of  a difference.

Grif, like most managers, plays the percentages by bringing in Santos. The problem is our relief crew often times finds it necessary to give up a homer to the first hitter they face. Same old story 

Pedro really didn’t though rhb hitting over .300 against Santos.

That was one big LOL of a game. Wow. How bad was that? Eventually I'll realize once and for all this team blows even by Central Div. standards. What a fail tonight.

Bad bullpen management but an absolutely lifeless effort for what would've been a pretty good ballgame to win for momentum. 20 - 29 sounds a lot better than 19 - 30.....how much better I can't say. Horsesh#t effort tonight by all but Scholtens.

Yep, I’ve seen nothing from Scholtens that suggests he can get legit hitters out even semi regularly and Gaddis has shown nothing in his career or tonight and Sox haven’t even really threatened.

Thankfully for Scholtens, he plays in the AL Central and has more juicy matchups coming up.

God, I hate the way Grifol is using Crochet. 

This is either Hahn's plan or Hahn and Grifol's joint plan.

Pedro is not a good manager.  Rentería has been our best manager in the last 10 years and we let him go. Ventura, TLR and Grifol have been major disappointments.

TA doin the whole "2003 K'nerko" thing now

It’s the lake that caught fire around there .

Cuyahoga...Cleveland just destroys the White Sox in advance scouting...basically, ANY type of scouting.

They probably know more about the White Sox tendencies than Daryl Boston being around the team everyday.

Think it was still a bit early to put Crochet into that situation.

Coming off TJS, it takes at least a half year if not a full year to get your control back...and that wasn't exactly his strength before he got hurt.

Balta will come after you, watch out...are we now down to just the Chiefs, Braves and Seminoles?

Utah changed from Runnin' Utes, right?

Very glad Grifol went with an opener. I hope it’s becomes something we see more often.

That's all fine and good, but Scholtens is going to get destroyed at some point by the better offenses.

And while that works well for the Rays or Dodgers with their pitching depth, almost none of the relievers on our current major league team are the types to go 2-3+ innings.  You could try it with Lambert, MIddleton or Santos, but the results would be mixed at best.

AA/AAA are virtually barren wastelands.

Right.  Forgot the Blackhawk War...should have remembered being from the Quad Cities, right on the border with the Land of Lincoln.
