Might want to dial up those bat speeds about right now...

 

Lawrie should get a fastball to do something with at least.

Problem is he's been swinging through fastballs right down the middle.

Perez hits righties better than lefties.

Yeah, that even holds up fairly significantly over a 3+ year time period, not just 2016.

 

 

Too tough to adjust from 99 to an 83 mph slider low and away on the corner there for Lawrie.

 

This feels like the first White Sox game in ages where they were just done after the 6th inning. The game last Tuesday night where we blew the 11-6 lead would be the other, after Rua's homer to go ahead 13-11.

Lawrie needs to get closer to the plate

The funny thing is that I only know this from looking at his attributes in MLB The Show.

How does Purke look guys? I'm at work so missing his debut.

No pressure, but the Sox really need to win 4 of 5 starting tomorrow. This losing spell has got to stop.

It literally seems like we can only win when Sale pitches. That's pretty depressing.

I don't think it's going to.

He might be a better option than Jennings against lefties. Too early to tell though.

Where is the fire and passion we heard about so much when we were winning?

Been all downhill since the 8th inning from hell

Robin sucked it out of the room

Well, considering they're still 23-6 (assuming a loss) with Sale/Q/Latos/Gonzalez starting, that can't be true.

 

Just feels like it, though. Especially with Q having two "tough" losses in a row against the Yankees and now the Royals.

Jackson is a horrible hitter now. So many holes in his swing and has lost all his power.

 

Meh.. he's probably had the worst luck on the team in hits, yet alone power. Should easily have 3-5 homers right now

Winning cures all problems. The problem is that we're not doing it enough recently.

Wow Abreu. That boot went farther than anything he's hit today

Two homers lost early to the wind in Chicago.

 

The ball down the line to the LF foul pole that was foul by 2-3 inches...think that was at MIN.

 

Another ball to LF that would have been a walk-off homer to left with a couple more feet of carry for the last out of the game, maybe that was against the Angels.

Reinsdorf's money or Sands?

Whatever did happen to that Laroche rebate? I hope he bought himself something nice.

Can't wait for the Braves and Twins to face off!!!

 

What's the tiebreaker for the #1 pick if those two teams both finish 59-103? The season series head-to-head? What if that's a tie?

 

 

 

Purke consistently throwing 92-94...looks like he has pretty good stuff.

Ive gone out of my to defend the sox during this slump... but youve really got to show up for a game like this. Big crowd, defending champs, and you just get pooped on.

 

KC adjusted midgame and had a plan to attack quintanas curveball. What was the sox plan? Did they adjust? Who knows? The poor crowd at this game was treated to an expensive s*** show and i hope its different when i go to the game on sunday.

I know you've said this a couple times and if that inning is causing this collapse then they were mental midgits to begin with anyway and it really was a fluke start. I doubt this team is this bad,just really frustrating to see after the hot start.

Until this team can hit 89 mph fastball right down the f***ing pipe they aren't going anywhere offensively. Put too much pressure on the pitching and defense tonight and the dam broke.

White Sox just have looked out of sorts in a lot of different areas tonight.

Nice job by Purke to pitch around the error.
