Lip Man 1 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 From DVS post game story: "Trying to avoid getting shut out for the sixth time before a paid attendance of 10,569 – there were fewer fans in the stands, some of whom were heard booing — the Sox were blanked for seven innings on four hits."

Lip Man 1 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Six guys in the starting lineup tonight were hitting under .200 for the year. Words fail me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about someone to feel sorry for....guy comes up with his admittedly stupid South Side Stand Up for wins and he's been able to use it twice in 16 games. Also from what I've heard, the chemistry between him and Stone is awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll cut him some slack. he’s just a young guy trying to make the most of his big break. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wegner Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I was thinking if only they could score some runs because the pitching has been ok. Then I looked it up and the team ERA is 25th in MLB. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny that you think you're rooting for maximum embarrassment. I'm guessing you're "rooting" for maximum leverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 (edited) Broken record here. I do not know baseball anymore. But even I knew in late January when most all of the transactions were complete that this lineup had no chance. Why didn't Jerry and Getz panic at that point and figure something out offensively?? I mean I guess our lineup with Eloy and Robert available has a chance on a 'given night' to score 5-8 runs, but even with them I knew we were doomed offensively. Without those two, I can't see it getting better run wise. Because a majority of our hitters are incapable of even hitting .250. I guess conceivably Vaughn, Eloy and Sheets could get hot and Beni could turn into an OBP machine but, nah. With all these no name pitchers and clueless hitters, the Sox gots no chance on 9 of 10 nights. Edited April 16 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I was joking before, but this team winning just 1 game a week seems very plausible. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's seen so much baseball in his life it has to be pretty tough to provide commentary on these meaningless games. I'd think Stoney would go the way of Hawk and resign and count on a summer of golf, not watching bad baseball. Stoney is 77 in July. Why would he waste precious time in the booth for this team? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestEddy Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 6 minutes ago, fathom said: You expected this to finally be the year they all stayed healthy? No, I just didn't expect 5 major league hitters to get injured or slump to .300 OPS levels, at the same time, over 2 weeks. I guess they did that because of Jerry Reinsdorf's frugality. This is all Hahn's White Sox. He assembled a "core" of 5 starting pitchers and 7 position players for his "window" of contention. I'm sure Hahn or Kenny Williams don't feel humiliated by this start. Those are the people responsible for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
