I expected more than a complete meltdown, but that was expecting too much.

People like to justify the game last night, but that was a huge momentum killer.

Can they actually get out of it with two outs. That was a obvious issue last night.

Venable is a joke. Another shitty White Sox manager.

And why not use an opener?

Well didn't they have two lefties batting 1-2 and then JRam batting third, who is weak from the right side?

Sandlin shoulda started this game to begin with

Braden as well

They were both brought up too early.

Bannister'll fix em

He’s wasted so many damn resources

Yeah he's not good.

Clearly Veneable used Schultz as an opener. 4d chess.

At this rate they're going to try to turn Hicks back into a starter

or at least an opener that can get through the order once

I mean, was Noah as 'opener' the actual play, or is he hurt? Bizarre half inning.

Chase saves us from more damage.

This is exactly what they deserve only getting 1 pitcher at the deadline. Put Fedde back in the rotation and send Schultz back to AAA

Fedde is not a legit rotation option either…the smoke and mirrors will come to a rapid end at some point. I’d rather take my chances on Sandlin in all honesty.

Must take 2 out of 3. We should be up by 4 games minimum

Come on… where’s the fight? I’m delusionally still rooting for a sweep.

Don't think i'm winning Fanduel tonight

Kudos to Meidroth for that play. Kudos to Sandlin for having to abruptly go out there and getting the job done.

Minor miracle it's only 2-0

Very confused by the sequence of events here. Seems like Will didn't think he was forcing Noah out, but also...when does Will ever come out to the mound other than to replace the pitcher? So was he just trying to create confusion to get Sandlin loose? But again, just like a couple starts ago, why start Noah if you're going to have such a quick hook?

My thoughts exactly. What happened there?

Hopefully Sandlin goes 6 innings, we win the game, and Will is secretly a genius.

Fedde was their 2nd or 3rd best starter before being moved to the pen because we want to keep punting games with Schultz in the rotation

Do you think his 1989 year was good looking at the stats?

Randy also had elite velocity in an era that no one did. Schultz throws slower than a journeyman like Kay now.

If there's such a thing as karma for mlb it would be Detroit winning without Skubal and Mize

trading Flaherty to LAD worked like a charm two seasons ago

Cleveland and minny dont worry me

Detroit does

Meidroth is the best 2B the Sox have had in a long time.

Space between a and long.

Wouldn’t be if Noah has stayed in.

Will just wanders out to the mound with no one warming for shits and grins? Nah.

Meidroth on fire.

Yep. All the bats being hot resulted in the team overperforming and made Venable look better than he is. Venable sucks.
