They're major leaguers. Far too often they don't execute basic plays. It's one thing to be beat by better players. It's another to lose because you play like clowns. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshPR Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 This is a frustrating game. Burke deserved to win. I'm tired of these shitty lineups keeping Robert Fresh? No even 40 games has passed. This load management thing is dumb. You do that when you have capable bench players not Palacios. Actually they can DFa Taylor too. Fletcher was pretty good defensively. Palacios can go to his palace and amaya can play for the Alaska goldpanners 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSox2023 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 (edited) Booser, another feather in our GM’s cap. Getz actually gave up a prospect for a 33-year old bum reliever. Another reliever in the bullpen with no control that walks too many batters. Edited May 7 by WhiteSox2023 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSoxFanMike Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Doesn’t really matter, but if they were going to bring in Robert for defense anyway, why not do it an inning earlier and move Taylor to LF? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venable did not have a good game. With Fermin being a good bunter, you have to have the 3B field that ball. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Could raise the question about Booser coming in to face 4 out of 5 right-handed batters as well while the prospect righty who has been getting high-leverage situations had only thrown 3 pitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lip Man 1 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Another game with three runs or less. Another game with a crushing fundamental error. 3rd game this year the Sox took a lead in the 7th inning or later and lost. We should be used to this by now shouldn't we? Nothing changes until new ownership, it's really that simple. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 7 Author Share Posted May 7 MLB > Leaderboards > Team Bullpen Rankings This is a sorted list of the best bullpens in baseball according to THE BAT's context-neutral projected 'true talent' ERA. This incorporates, among other things, regression, multiple weighted years of data, aging, velocity, minor league and foreign league data, and adjustments to account for the quality of opposing hitters, ballparks, umpires, weather, pitch-framing, defense, and more for each reliever on the team, weighted by projected innings pitched over the remainder of the season. Note that this includes not just the current members of the bullpen, but all pitchers expected to pitch in relief over the course of an entire season. https://evanalytics.com/mlb/leaderboards/team-bullpen-rankings White Sox 30th https://www.covers.com/sport/baseball/mlb/statistics/team-money/2025 Hey, at least we're ahead of the Pirates and WAY ahead of the Rockies here!!! Padres, Cubs, Guardians, Tigers, Royals #1-5 SF, NYM, SAC/ATH, Seattle, LAD make up #6-10 (all pretty big budgets other than the A's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Ouch. Flat out gave this one away. I was in the car and Royals announcers mocked us giving it away late. Denny Mathews a homer but good announcer said: "I've always said good teams find a way to win in the latter innings; bad teams find a wayu to lose." He called us a bad team Could we have ended it with a DP on that grounder up the middle that the shortstop couldn't corral cleanly where he flipped it wide of Meidroth? I still think we win 1-2 this series. Unless this game crushes the confidence. p.s. Meidroth is a national mockery tonight cause of the ball off the head but I still think he's a fine player/prospect. As embarrassing in series history as when the two Sox fans tackled the Royals first base coach? I remember one time I went to a Sox Royals game at Kauffman (when I used to get mad when we lost) and Sox led 3-0 the whole way and I was so happy, drinking and mocking my friends. Bob Hamelin in the ninth hit a 3-run homer to tie it and we got beat I think in extra innings. Maddest I've ever been at a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Is Beni hurt? If so too bad cause he's become a real MLB player. He's one of the 4-6 guys on our team I think is MLB caliber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
