Yeah idk what happened there this year. His BB% has just cratered in 2023. 

Haha, f*** off Grandal.  

Grandal is an embarrassment 

Haha Yas is a clown.

He’s lost all of his physical ability.  Truly feels like he’s going to be out of baseball in a few years.

Vaughn just looks less and less like a strong corner piece

No kidding, he’s worthless 

I don't think the ump should take Grandal's bullshit and throw him out of tomorrow's game.

End the game with three strike outs in a row. Just great.

Yet he's one of the untouchables supposedly?

Well on the bright side, perhaps this gives the Cubs enough hope to keep Stroman off of the SP market

• 1st: Robert Jr. strikes out swinging.
• 2nd: Moncada strikes out swinging.
• 4th: Robert Jr. strikes out swinging.
• 6th: Colas strikes out swinging.
• 7th: Burger strikes out swinging.
• 8th: Anderson strikes out looking.
• 9th: Moncada strikes out swinging.
• 9th: Vaughn strikes out looking.
• 9th: Grandal strikes out looking.

Insult to injury, this is the first game in Chicago Cubs history with 4 + HRs and 5 + SBs.

Trade Grandal, Fire Rick Hahn.

 

The White Sox are an embarrassment.  They should have been contracted when they wouldn't allow DeBartolo to buy the team.

 

f*** Reinsdorf.

I was going to say the same thing about Yoan as Kopech, idk if it was covid or just someone that peaked physically very young. 

I remember how the ball used to just explode off his bat. 

I'm not sure if there's anything the Sox could have done because I'm not convinced those guys were s%*# scouting, i just think their bodies weren't made for 162 games of baseball once they got into their mid-20s and there's no way to know that. 

This applies to Eloy too.

I'm not sure if there's anything the Sox could have done because I'm not entirely convinced those guys were s%*# scouting, i just think their bodies weren't made for 162 games of baseball once they got into their mid-20s and there's no way to know that. 

 

Lots of other possibilities that come to mind 

Weak RISP numbers + lack of HRs + home runs given up by a starting pitcher and the relief crumbling is not a recipe for success and won’t lead to wins. It is the story of the season.

Big Frank said they just got beat "today"

I think he misspoke and meant to say "this year"

Delete.

Fantastic loss.  Two more for rock bottom.

Twins with 9th inning comebacks two days in a row at home... tonight it was 3-2 the M's leading.

Goes to Top 9 tied 3-3.

Not every team has a bad closer like Graveman, who is not a closer.  Sox need to try someone else closing.

Sounds like it was an amazing game to miss. So glad im on vacation and don’t really have the time to watch this s%*# show
