GreenSox Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 (edited) 7 saves in 12 seasons. I guess it's pretty obvious why that is. Edited June 10, 2023 by GreenSox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomtom Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Burger can be really good with some plate discipline. In fact, several Sox players can be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumn Dreamin Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 The DH in NY threw off the usual bullpen calculus that had been working so well, and Kopech not going deep in this one didn't help. The staff can't be perfect forever, regardless. Gotta score some runs. Sox actually with a higher xBA today and a decent amount of solid contact, but not enough that fell for hits. Win tomorrow.

caulfield12 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Crazy that Blue Jays are almost in the same position as Sox odds fighting NYY Baltimore and Houston/Texas for WC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lip Man 1 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Just now, hankchifan said: It’s hard to win 1-0. Every reliever has to be perfect. Very true. Offense has been brutal. They simply aren't going to keep winning games 2-1, 3-0, 4-3 like they have been recently. This isn't the 1967 White Sox and as good as they were doing that came up short in the end.

Move on I did not really like Pedro going out of his way on the postgame yesterday saying how tough the plays at the plate were that TA didn't make. Stop coddling him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crochet isn't even ready to be back up in the big leagues...control has (not so) shockingly been awful coming off TJS. Wasn’t Hendriks available?

Lip Man 1 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 8th time this year the Sox led in the 7th inning or later...and lost. 3rd time out of those eight games they lost the lead in the 9th inning. Kelly has been directly responsible for three of those eight blown games that were lost. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam pitched yesterday, and although he's done a back-to-back since his return, he hinted at feeling some effects from the smoke in NY or at least being wary of it.

oldsox Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 I can almost forgive Kelly giving a leadoff, seeing eye single. I can almost forgive Kelly giving a single to the all-world Arraez. I cannot forgive Kelly for walking Soler when he had him 1 and 2. WTF is he doing looking at the base runner at second while in the middle of his delivery home. He did it on Balls 2 and 3. If he strikes out Solero, the game is still winable. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Kelly sucked but you can't expect your bullpen to have a 0.00 RRA. Scoring 1 run isn't going to get you many wins. I have the feeling today was the start of a freefall back to where they have spent most of the season. They came real close to reeling me back in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxrwhite Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Everyone's comments have pretty much on target. It hurt to lose it in the 9th. You can hope for a shutout and to win 1-0, but scoring 1 run will catch up to you sooner or later. Go get'em tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and that is why Burger needs to bat higher in the lineup for protection so he sees better and more pitches. This is obviously way over Pedro's' managerial IQ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly does not have the mental toughness to be counted on in closing 9th innings during "big boys" crunch time! Leave him for leads in the 7th inning.
