Lip Man 1 Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Their defense overall has been as bad as in recent years past. Every year in the spring they talk about how they are going to work on it, emphasize it and yet nothing ever seems to change. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking yourself into the lineup rarely is a good idea. I dunno man, we've been over all this the last few years, few things this org does make a lot of sense day to day. They can make some decent moves in the abstract once and awhile but the day to day coaching is just not there and is inconsistent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgrittenburg Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 1 hour ago, PaleAleSox said: Rundown between 1st and 2nd, turned into a rundown between 3rd and home. Quero held the ball WAY too long to throw to Montgomery, so Haap ran into Colson, which let him advance home. Quero fucked up. cmon that's just as much of a mistake on Montgomery yo can't be standing and blocking the base, that led to the interference call that let the run in, so the blame can be blamed on both of them 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip Man 1 Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Much like Venable’s predecessor, Pedro Grifol, was brought in as part of an effort to clean up fundamental mistakes, part of Venable’s role in the Sox’ latest rebuild is to lead a staff capable of minimizing days like Sunday. “Those are things that we’re always working on. We’re always trying to figure out how to coach those things better,” Venable said. “The infield-fly rule, that’s something that we’ve been proactive about and talking about, and we still didn’t get it right. “We have to look ourselves in the mirror and figure out a better way to coach that. Certainly, we’re going to readjust, and as we continue to make mistakes, it’s on us to figure out how to get it right.” https://chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/2025/07/27/white-sox-cubs-crosstown-series-rebuild-andrew-benintendi-lenyn-sosa-colson-montgomery-will-venable-errors 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the f*** do you make it 9 years and still not know the infield fly rule as a professional athlete? What the f*** are these kids being taught?

How the f*** do you make it 9 years and still not know the infield fly rule as a professional athlete? What the f*** are these kids being taught? Only one to blame here is Sosa himself. If a geezer like me sitting on a sofa knows the rules he has to. I’m not a fan of public humiliation but I’d have yanked him right there. Wondering if the Cubs let that drop on purpose to see if they could find a dope? But I love the way he goes back on a pop fly and the RF’s know it and defer to him. Sit him down next game.
