There's little point to making it a game early when your offense tends to score most of their runs in the first couple of innings and you have the worst bullpen in baseball (maybe not statistically, but talent-wise, at least).

Phillie fans might have an argument with you with how their BP has been pitching. Maybe St .Louis too if I'm remembering the 6. And 5. something ERAs of those bullpens.

White Sox pitching. Sailing along for a couple of innings, then a guy gets on, and everything goes to poop. Character flaw.

Well, at least we have the 4th youngest pitching staff and somehow the 7th youngest position player roster in the big leagues.  Need that second number to be Top 3 by the end of the year, though.

Also down to a .980 fielding percentage, 26th in MLB.  Sure, that's not THE best indicator.

23rd in team WHIP, but 14th in BAA, surprisingly.

As do some of our first round draft picks

The way Peralta was throwing tonight to let him go 5+ with only 2 on the board is just awful. Hanging breaker after hanging break and we refused to do anything.

It happens when you can’t miss bats

TBF the character flaw is mostly pitching behind this offense. Pitching isn't great, the offense is once again putrid.

Who’s the better defender out of Teel and Quero? Quero just looks like he belongs.

We actually appear to have 3 pretty solid catchers in the system. Thaiss is a solid backup.

They have maintained all along with Quero was more advanced, but also acknowledged they were much more familiar with him coming into Spring Training.

Teel has all the raw tools, but needs further refinement, but he SHOULD be the better hitter, overall.

Nonsense. Sox had a 1 run lead; pitcher walks one guy and falls apart. Next guy up can't get anyone out either. Gag city.

Nationals are the only team behind the Sox here, trying to not blow a lead against Philly after scoring 4 late to take a 6-5 lead.  At least they have Finnegan.

Who just fell apart and blew another save, 6-6, lol, winning run on 3rd. WP's winning run in, leaving 4-4 Trea Turner at the dish and still wanting to hit again, ha.

Yeah probably was the Nationals not the Cards with the 5 something ERA after the Phillies 6 something.

First Gage Workman appearance.

Is this Juan Uribe Jr. pitching, lol?    That at least would be MUCH more entertaining...

That's the only way to cope at this point as a White Sox fan.

SoxTalk currently leads all MLB message boards in sniping back and forth, after all.

The highlights are Tray vs. 78 project and quite a few vs. WestEddy with Cali stepping in as a "moderating force of reasonableness." Or at least attempting to.

Lol that was annoying. “If he keeps hitting he’ll be up later this year.”
