I'm sure Ventura will give some tepid "vote of confidence" to Duke after the game.

 

Hard to give the set-up role to Jennings when he might have surrendered the biggest baserunner of the game with that walk.

 

Purke, lol?

I hate this team, and I hate this coach. Watching this awful baseball season after season, watching this awful coach season after season, is getting ridiculous. Trade Sale & Quintana to a damn team that can win something, they deserve it. They are wasting their talent with this crappy organization. I wouldn't trust our FO and scouting to get a proper return for them, either. That is how inept they are at anything.

Will ohman

Scott downs

Zack Duke

 

Maybe Moyer can come out of retirement...

Not the team you want to blow a lead against this late. Yet another loss coming that should have been a win. I've counted 3-4 games over the last 3 weeks alone that Ventura's decisions have ultimately cost this team wins. Not sure I can watch this team much longer.

HORRIBLE signing. One good year with this stupid "arm angle" crap. He has always sucked, and still does. Pathetic.

 

Yes how many people didn't want Hahn to give the money to miller. I know alot of posters here wanted anyone else then miller for the money

Went from being fairly excited to completely pissed off now.

Nate Jones can, but Duke continues to make my soul hurt with how much he sucks.

 

In that case who pitches the 8th? If you extend Jones for both innings, there is a decent chance you lose him for the rest of the series.

Shocked that Jones was a better match-up against Perez.

 

 

Who'd a thunk it???

 

You just don't tempt fate the way Hosmer's been carrying them the last couple of weeks, especially in front of that home crowd.

Between Ventura, Hahn, Cooper and Steverson....they all could leave tomorrow and the organization wouldn't suffer. Ventura is choking worse than he did at the end of 2012.

Then Hahn and Ventura can both go, lol...

Seriously Robin should be sent home after this game. I mean it's way too obvious he's a major issue.

He gets the last batter of 7th and then the 8th. If he gets in trouble, you have Robertson. Neither has pitched since Monday. He ended up coming in for the 7th anyways, so I don't see your argument.

He was extended into the 8th anyways. With Sale going Sunday, that's fine.

Fathom, he hit a 96 MPH fastball.

 

To RF, of course...but at least he caught up with it and picked up the ball.

Ugly swing

What a piss-poor AB from Melky.

My favorite part of the bottom of the seventh was Robin Ventura waiting until the lead was entirely blown to use Nate Jones. #whitesox

This is Robin's thought process and it is a VERY bad one. Worry about the game in front of you, especially when the team is collapsing. Cross tomorrow's bridges when you get to them.

Burning up the two reliable guys in the first game of a series is not a smart idea. Of course if anyone else in the pen were actually doing their jobs, this wouldn't be an issue.

DJ....Melky looked like he was trying to smash a snail on the ground with that swing, lol.

 

That's funny!

Swing 3 0

They aren't gonna throw Frazier anything to hit, they'd be crazy to.

Haha Frazier staring down Herrera.

When we busted the perfect game and scored five, I sorta thought this could be the reverse of that Rangers disaster. Ya know, demotivated us after that huge de motivation. Little did I know it would end up being the Royals' version of that game.

DO SOMETHING YOU BUM!!!!!
