You don't save other arms in a 1 run game

 

i thought it was 2 runs, but hardly anyone is hitting. if the sox comes back, then use another pitcher.

Why was this inning not treated as high leverage? Puzzling.

Bacon air mails Abreu, thankfully ump called it foul

Apparently we're not all that interested in sweeping the Tigers.

I pray that RV doesn't think that way because that is horses*** managing.

Good management Robin!

Ozzie used to do this all the time, and it drove me nuts.

Thanks Ventura, great move there.

 

You face Castellanos (who's equally competent against RHP and LHP, basically).

 

Tigers announcers just AMAZED ("it's crazy, really" is the direct quote) that Ventura walked a guy who'd just struck out 20/30 times.

 

Said he was feeling for the ball when he flew out and it wasn't a typical swing like when he's going well...hasn't hit one single ball hard for over a week, literally.

Thank you Adam Eaton for being a no show again today.

Do the White Sox have an advanced scouting crew? Castellanos is in a huge f***ing slump wtf are they doing. The margin for error is quickly eroding with this season and these sorts of things are just giving games away on a weekly basis.

 

Frustrating man.

If they do lose today hopefully they'll stop wearing their pajamas.

From a bullpen standpoint this inning has been managed terribly.

 

Also no reason to throw to third on the fly ball and allow the guy on first to move up.

 

 

If the throw was actually accurate, the runner would have been out.

 

That said, he hasn't thrown the ball well (or intelligently) all season. His defense/offense/baserunning have all been equally bad.

38 pitches for Jennings..................

I really dont like just throwing this game. I get that sweeping the Tigers is not a must, but that doesn't mean the Sox should just hand the Tigers a win here. That seems silly.

SOS RV is amateur hour once again.

Adam Eaton has Juan Pierre's arm and his brain seems to think he has Vlad's arm. Bad combo.

bingo, how can the pitchers win the game, when the main hitters are not hitting.

JD MARTINEZ HAD STRUCK OUT 20 times in his last 30 plate appearances before that at-bat.

 

The bigger question is why they even walked him.

Ventura's managing is indefensible

damn didn't know he was slumping too. can't defend RV here although I'm sure someone will try.

Oh c'mon now...he was a fan favorite as a player!

 

Robin Ventura....the walking pacifier.

You know things are pretty bad when the "Lil' Bulldog" is frustrated with the current state of affairs.

 

Beat the Royals two times...no momentum, same with this series. Just can't seem to get anything going without self-sabotaging it.

Very weird decision on its surface but Jennings did pretty well when going >1 inning last year. 18 innings, 1 earned run, 17 hits, 3 walks, 16 K's.

 

What makes it weird is that other guys were available.

Ventura's managing is indefensible

 

Bad managing, but this game was lost by the offense.
