Sox got screwed out of a balk

Unlucky bounce

Get in front of the fucking ball none of this ole s%*#

Don’t see a ball hit the second base bag like that too often.

And that’s why a guy like Noda shouldn’t be in right field.

oh wow putting a 1B in RF was a great idea!

Slater isn’t a Roberto Clemente but I’d rather see him in right than Noda. Venable trying to be cute again with the lineup and it bites him in the ass.

gotta keep the stellar bat in the lineup...might need someone to sac bunt.

Noda in RF worked out well 😂

If you want to manage the White Sox, you must stick a 1B in RF

Yeah I was thinking that too. With Robert out you might as well play Slater.

What a boring game

Good bunt noda

So you put him in RF for his bat and he bunts? Da f***

Stupid ass team starting a 1B in RF and ball finds him in a key spot. Idiots.

This team is so hard to watch.

Getz is a joke

So is Will honestly. If he's setting these lineups or swallowing the order from Chris, he's a clown either way. 

I was watching at a bar chatting with some friends so couldn't really post for a minute but this entire game has been an example of how BAD TEAMS LOSE GAMES BEFORE AND DURING A GAME. You start with an awful defensive lineup, you start with clowns like Taylor that will come up in key spots and THIS IS WHAT YOU GET!

Every ball player knows the ball finds you. Especially at the MLB level where you have cavernous parks, slicing rockets and the eyes of thousands on you. 

Starting a 1B in RF is asking for trouble. In fact, it's sticking your finger up at the baseball Gods and hoping they don't decide to shove it up your ass. Good fucking luck.

People say TLR was the start of this stuff but honestly he's just downstream of it. RV used to do the same stupid ass s%*#. It's a White Sox thing. We don't respect what usually works and we sure as s%*# don't have any new ideas either.

Throw that fucking paper bag down. This team deserves it. 

No extra base hits, of course

It's incredible. I thought Taylor might have put a charge into that one in the 7th but not only was it foul it was about 280 feet. 

We're trying to play a brand of baseball that just doesn't exist anymore. You have to have slug. You fucking know it christ we've been over it going on the last 3-4 seasons.

Imagine how bad your supposedly rebuilding roster has to be to squeeze 29-year old 1B Ryan Noda in at RF…

Once again, what in the f*** is Getz doing here?!?  Does anyone know?!?

Venable has terrible management instincts and a surprising lack of judgment. The Sox draw a nice crowd on a a Beautiful Friday night so without Robert Jr. , he plays MAT in C and Noda in RF.  Soxtalk posters were laughing at that line-up before the game started. 

 

Making sure they get Noda and his .125 avg in the lineup....what???

No offense yet again. 

16th time this year the Sox held an opponent to three runs or less and lost. Wasting some decent to good pitching.
