You people are pathetic.

The problem with the offense is a lack of power. They have been getting on base still at a reasonable clip but nobody is hitting any HR. That said, how many HR have that had that just missed, half a dozen so far?

Very nice overall effort from Gonzalez. Deserves another start for sure.

QS for Gonzalez. Can't ask for much more from your 5th starter against the defending champs

You people are pathetic.

 

They are getting ready to lose their 9th straight non Sale start. I don't think it's time for everyone to be sucking their dick.

Another nice Saturday showing at home so far

Over last week, we've had:

 

- Eaton missed a walkoff homer by 5 feet

- Abreu robbed at the fence

- Melky hit the top of the fence

 

Then you have Lawrie looking like he blasted one that the wind knocked down (after carrying a weak fly ball to the track the previous inning)

the SP it the last of the team's worries right now.

 

They jinxed him. But, Gonzales did a solid job today. We need some offense

We have two of the top home run hitters the past two years in our line up but we could use a 20 home run guy

They are getting ready to lose their 9th straight non Sale start.

 

It just looks far too similar to last year's team in terms of mediocre position players.

The pitching finally stopped the bleeding and then the hitters went and died. It sucks, I wanted this be a fun year and instead the Sox are gonna collapse before they could even get started. Meanwhile TT and Semien haunt us.

 

 

Who would you be playing at 3rd base?

 

It's hard for me to buy that without Frazier and TT playing CF that our overall record would be any better...and probably a couple of games worse.

Nice outing for Gonzalez

Happy mediums exist.

I think we could have traded someone else to get Frazier over then Thompson. Doesn't really matter though, it is a moot point now

I'm hitting the panic button, don't know about you guys.

I would say the match-up with Rodon vs. all their LH hitters looks encouraging but it doesn't matter what things APPEAR to be on paper at this point in the slump...

 

 

Clearly, nobody's getting traded anytime soon. But they have to do SOMETHING to shake things up. What's crazy is Ventura has gone from surefire AL Manager of the Year to being a bit in the hot seat again with no contract for next season and Renteria's presence on the bench as manager in waiting.

 

Meanwhile, 8 K's for Gonzalez...who has solidified his hold on the 5th spot for now.

 

Erik Johnson vs. that red-hot Indians' line-up is a disaster waiting to happen. Seems Johnson can't catch a break with match-ups every time he's given an opportunity.

He won't last 5 innings

We have two of the top home run hitters the past two years in our line up but we could use a 20 home run guy

 

 

That's why we gave that money to Cabrera...15-18 homers at least.

 

And Lawrie has that potential, but obviously hasn't sustained his early success. Won't get started on AVI and his 30 homer "potential/promise."

 

 

The problem is you can't RELY on anyone...we had a shot at a lot of guys like Trumbo, Pedro Alvarez, Chris Carter...that LaRoche thing really messed things up because it happened one month too late to react and bring in another hitter.

You're going to freak out in 2 months when the Sale to Boston rumors start again, aren't you

Didn't have to be Trayce dealt, but the Sox had to "sell high".... lol oops

 

Of course the impeccable conventional wisdom of Soxtalk agreed. At best a 4th OF.

 

You're going to freak out in 2 months when the Sale to Boston rumors start again, aren't you

 

Only if the rumors are for terrible pieces that the Boston media tries to push.

Lol at Sands batting high in the lineup.

You shouldn't be surprised to have no runs when Jerry Sands is batting 5th.

That KC/METS/Detroit road trip coming up starting next Thursday is even scarier than what's going on right now.

 

The Dark Knight could probably shut down the Sox offense right now with a lifeless 90-92 MPH fastball.

Only if the rumors are for terrible pieces that the Boston media tries to push.

 

ERod, Swihart and Moncada and Benintendi....done

You're going to freak out in 2 months when the Sale to Boston rumors start again, aren't you

Wouldn't shock me if the White Sox flounder this year.
