And that's why you don't want your worst hitter getting the most ABs. Good job Robin

Wow... Would have rather seen Semien bat with one of those AB's.. Least we gave it a run

Overmatched. Flowers and L. Garcia blown away. Oh well.

Strikes him out on a pitch over his head.

Then move Dunn to this spacious OF? Yikes.

 

EDIT: Oh yeah, I forgot Sierra still exists. Semdog would have been nice.

 

 

Absolutely.

 

 

Sierra already was used as a pinch-runner.

I rarely see us win in Oakland f*** that city

Thanks for coming in here just to say that

Is Semien hurt? I haven't heard. Woulda been nice to see Mr. Clutch get a shot at the flamethrowing lefty.

Garcia just isn't a big league player.

There's just no way you don't have Semien hitting there over Garcia.

 

 

If you don't have any confidence in him, then send him to Charlotte. Period.

Do not get Garcia hitting either. Maybe Semien is hurt only reason he does not hit to me?

Nieto was better off hitting for himself. (C'mon Robin, your acting like this team is competing this year.. ;))

 

I will agree with Hawk though. Last year down 4 runs, we would've mailed it in. These guys are stubborn.. in a good way.

Awful. He is clueless when it comes to lineup construction. Actually he is clueless about quite a bit.

Oak wins 5-4.............never win at that F'N place.

 

We have now lost 6 straight games at that hell hole.

Obviously, he had plenty of time to think about it.

 

He had already used Sierra, Konerko and Flowers. Just idiotic. I don't care if Dunn was going to be in the OF, if you've followed the White Sox for 40 games this year, Semien was the much better bet to come through.

I do not understand half of what RV does. Hitting or pitching wise.

If Robin can manage in the big leagues without spending a day coaching in the minors, I guess it's not surprising Garcia is on the Sox major league roster.

What I don't get was wasting Dunn and Sierra by pulling Dunn in the 9th as a run that didn't matter

He should've been in Charlotte as soon as Beckham (and Gillaspie to an extent) came off the DL. I don't like him at 3B either. Hopefully we see the Semien-Johnson combo at AAA. Let them both grow together and learn each others tendencies in the infield down there.

Seems like If it is a 4 game series Sox win 1 and a 3 game series they get swept at Oakland. I always call it house of horrors for Sox. Sox have also lost in the most weird ways at Oakland.

Yep. He is in his 3rd year! Wtfkinda move is that and it screwed them ran out of players (again).

Illogical. Maybe he knew he wasn't going to pinch-hit Sierra, but Sierra's actually been the hotter hitter than either Garcia or Semien the last 7-10 days. You can avoid (or try to avoid) the double play ball with Viciedo at the plate, but that wasn't even the tying run yet, Alexei Ramirez was.

Soon coming to a White Sox bullpen near you.

 

Brian Wilson and Eric Gagne.

I would be willing to bet about any amount of money that Ventura's not the manager the next time the White Sox manage to reach the playoffs.
