Gotta keep the Angels from tacking on an insurance run... the only hope the Sox realistically have is Rollins/Abreu/Frazier just running into one to tie.

Are we really intentionally walking a .154 hitter?

Gotta set up the GIDP. Gotta give Robin credit, he knows the Sox chances of winning this game become non-existent if the runner on 3rd scores.

 

EDIT- what is going on now

Angels had the squeeze on

Strange, seemed like the guy to go after

They did it again, and it worked. 3-1 LAA

Duke sucks so bad

Sure paid off

Gag.

Well. This game sucked. do whatever weird superstitions you have to stop slumping as a team for the 800th game in a row and come back tomorrow.

What are the chances the White Sox could lay down two successful bunts in one inning?

Sure paid off

RV strikes again

So, should we use Duke as our ROogy.

47 runs in 16 games....ALMOST 3 runs a game! Plenty of support, as long as Sale and Latos can pitch every day, and keep up the non-human numbers.

I don't really have a problem with the intentional walk.

Duke had one good season in his entire career. We decide to overpay for him and give him a multi-year contract. Nice.

No excuses, time for the middle of the order to hit.

 

Eh, who am I kidding. These guys are getting crushed by the pressure they're putting on themselves.

Atleast the Sox have the heart of the...bwhahahahahahaha

Righties 0-6 against him this year

Looking at 6 losses................. Danks would have 3

They are going to score 3 runs this inning in walk off fashion.

 

They are going to score 3 runs this week

 

This was a game I had them penciled in to lose since seeing the pitching matchup but had no idea it would be this bad in terms of hitting... Ah well, 10-6 still a nice start. Playing a winning team this weekend though.

I think Duke's gonna be absolutely fine. If he's our worst pitcher from the pen, we're laughing.

Its not that the offense is necessarily bad (it is quite bad), but once the Sox trail the game feels over. They seem incapable of recovering once they lose the lead and immediately act like every AB is their last even if its only the 5th inning. If the Sox score first they seem to do OK, or at least be mediocre.
