I got it from people that maybe know Pedro was ordered to remove Tim from the lead off spot and moving him to #2 was a proverbial middle finger. 

I don’t think there is any chance in hell Pedro gets fired.

You need some players to run into one occasionally, as we are are very poor hitting team.

It's a sad state of affairs when so many people rush to defend a guy hitting so poorly over the past month because sometimes he's the only offense the team can muster.

Crazy how bad Andrus has been this year

Typical White Sox, lead off double, 3 straight outs with no runner advancement.

Situational hitting 101 class - Sox grade is F.

Not true

Is Gordon Beckham actually getting this gig?

seriously, why throw any other pitch?

Burger needs to be given a take sign until a strike is thrown.  He would have walked.  We need to do things differently, not repeating the same mistakes.

I agree 

They need to comeback to avoid the sweep.

Once again Burger needs to get the take sign with a slider pitcher until he gets the first strike.  He would have walked or not get a slider later in the count.

Sad state of affairs when some people don't realize when the loser manager bats Burger 7th most of the season and doesn't use him effectively to hit higher in the order and take full advantage of his power. This would also greatly enhance him being able to see better pitches.

I agree 

it would be an admission of failure by the front office and admitting to mistakes so they might be corrected is a huge no-no in any corporate environment.

He's swinging at everything. You can't be successful in the majors that way, even as strong as he is.

Agreed. Then again we are stupid enough to re-hire Tony for a 3rd time

Interesting. Wouldn’t hate it. I don’t think this is Pedro’s fault by any means but like….changes are obviously needed across the entire org.

I don’t think it’s going to happen, just that Pedro hasn’t impressed important people

Yeah, ok. His struggles are Grifol's fault for batting him 7th, not his own for swinging at 90% of the pitches that come his way.

Seby at .150…he should be sent down 

I am so sick of watching Seby Zavala be just an awful plate appearance.

He can’t be sent down, and our third string catcher isn’t a catcher. Which is why Seby is still here.

Who’s that?

Whatever Seby figured out last year is gone now.
