3 hours ago3 hr It is pretty sad that at no time during this game I was confident the Sox would win. I just expect them to find a way to lose. Once again this bullpen is ass.

It's still a pretty talentless roster as a whole, but there are things they can control that don't seem to be improving. Still waiting to see some baseball IQ as a unit.they need a veteran leader who's actually been good throughout his career, ala Paulie/Buehrle, hoping Mune will be that guy because these kids don't have anyone to follow on this roster, it sure as hell isn't Andrew Benintendi

This is a failed farm director that got promoted.

Once again this bullpen is ass.I turned it off when it was 7-2 thinking they had it. I got a notice they scored then turned it back on to see bases loaded with 1 out and was like oh boy here we go.

But that inning was propelled by a 50/50 ground ball single followed shortly by an infield single, followed not long after by a bloop single with the bases loaded. Ideally you get some of the other guys out instead, but that sequence of events doesn't normally earn you a 6-run inning. Then you can look backwards and see Sox barreling two outs that could have been home runs with just about anything else being different (park, weather, ball-to-ball variation, etc.). Even earlier in the game, Sox had a sequence of a walk to the 9 hitter followed by 4 batters in a row squaring it up but only got a single run out of it.You can make your own luck to an extent but sometimes things just do or don't line up for you. Overall I liked seeing some life from the bats today and I don't think the Sox will give up too many 6-inning 8th/9th innings going forward. And I was always going to feel a little worried about smaller leads. To me the goal this season is the same as the last: figure out who is part of the core. There have been some interesting data points throughout the series. I think the best player in the organization is on the IL though."Luck is the residue of design" - Branch Rickey.Defensive positioning is an important past of baseball situations as well. I have no idea how the Sox stack up in this regard compared to other teams, I don't know if there is a metric for something like this, but that also can be a factor. I appreciate what you are saying but to me it rings hollow. This organization seems to have terrible "luck" in a lot of areas and I'm sorry that's letting people off the hook.At some point you are what your record says you are. And at least the last decade (although I go back to 2007) the Sox have basically been atrocious.That's not all "luck."

The first two games were insane the way everybody was getting a hit, then stealing bases. Every time I checked in on the game today, they had a guy on 2nd.

3 hours ago3 hr What drives me nuts is why isn’t Taylor being developed as the closer. We all know he’s never going to be a starter.

3 hours ago3 hr A good reminder that the White Sox are not rebuilding, they're just bad. There's no contending core coming together.

3 hours ago3 hr Pitching sucks. Period. Two questions-Why is the audio so bad?Why does Chuck Garfien always sound like he’s pushing out a hard s%*# while he’s talking?
