Just no damn luck today while the horseshoe was up Cle’s ass today. There were opportunities for the WSox to battle against it but the shoe was stronger 🥺

Can’t strike out nearly 20 times though

And Mune and the Montgomerys

Which is on Venable.

Going to have to beat Messick twice.

The white sox lost the division because of Venable and now they will lose this series because of Venable.

"This should be a division-winning, ALCS-bound roster with a good manager" said literally no one about the 2026 White Sox

Striking out this many times against the pitchers Cleveland threw today is absolutely fucking pathetic.

This is one of the worse Sox games this season. Bad pitching with walks and bad 0-2 pitches. Bad managing by Will. 14 strike outs thru 7. Bad hitting with RISP. Bad base running. Unfortunate situations. Go get them tomorrow.

Couldn't play worse. And in front of a huge electric crowd, Venable with Hudson out there with no sense of urgency

If Yankees lose does game 4 get moved to 8?

Nah, those guys have to play better than this.

Probably

I’m glad that lefty is out of the game though. But 4 runs, hmm

Well, at least they brought in Cade Smith in the 8 th. But, we didn’t take a few pitches. We are not a small ball team. When we don’t hit homers , we are in trouble.

Well, at least the Sox usually bounce back after a dog s%*# showing - but I think all this talk with the crowd and whatnot maybe hyped them up/got in their heads a little too much. Hopefully more settled tomorrow.

Grant Taylor going 9 tomorrow

For a guy who knows everything he doesn’t really know anything.

There was no reason to walk Ramirez. He is hitting .212 as a LH

This is the playoffs. You don’t bet your season on beating superstar veteran players. Don’t care what the numbers on the season have been, the post season is a different beast.

Yep, it’s not basketball or football where the adrenaline is a good thing

Here en lies the issue, along with using Hudson. This felt like a 'we'll just go out there swinging for the fences since we have games to burn' type of performance, and it shows.

Venable basically punted this game.

Why. Why are we constantly walking them

Martin doesn't look comfortable

No team in the modern era has gone undefeated in the playoffs. This game sucks, but let’s end it tomorrow

Hopefully Cleveland got their bs out of the way today. Regroup and get them tomorrow.

We needed to get used to some adversity. That’s what I’m rolling with
