For a veteran "contact" hitter, and a player who has had lots of opportunities to get into his offensive rhythm recently....Shuck just has to get the job done ONE of those times.

 

Anderson's failures are a bit more excusable.

 

And Eaton's had a good game overall, offensively and defensively. Hard to rip on him too much.

On the plus side, at least 3 of 4 vs Boston and the offense woke up.

 

Shuck sucks though, horrible.

I'd much rather have won the first 3 games and lost this one than lost the first 3 and won this one. I don't know what you're talking about.

I know I'm not talking about anything you just suggested.

 

Point is, the good vibes from winning three against Boston is erased by this embarrassing effort if they lose. We've seen from a certain May game in Texas how momentum works with this team

We're falling further and further behind in the AL Central. If we lose it here, Detroit will be 2 games clear and we will be six games back.

 

There's going to be so many teams stacked up in the race for the two wild card spots, the odds will turn against them (see last August)...especially when they have to actually beat AL Central foes down the stretch.

 

And they definitely can't count on sweeping Minnesota a THIRD time this season.

Shuck and Avi are getting too many at bats. Both are negative players.

Sorry but the terrible situational hitting over the past few years is at least somewhat on the coaching staff.

 

Whatever they tell them isn't working... if they are even saying anything.

Shields righted the ship.

 

That might end up being more relevant in 2017 and 2018 than this season, but the bleeding there has stopped (for now).

 

 

On the negative side, Albers and Jones continue to struggle coming up with clean innings. We just have a huge issue in the 7th and 8th inning right now, getting games to Robertson.

 

And Robertson's really starting to show signs of wearing down. When his cutter isn't crisp, he gives up lots of hits, and his walk rate is very high for a closer. I'm convinced his best pitch is that knuckle curve, not the cutter.

Purke is all kinds of terribad

Purke = Sucks

DFA Shuck and Albers after this game, regardless of outcome. This needs to be the final straw.

 

Also, how was Purke a first round draft pick? He's terrible.

I think they should call it a game and give each team a loss for bad baseball.

How do you walk someone after you have him down 0-2?

 

Might as well walk Bogaerts (pull a Maddon/Bonds) to load the bases.

 

That would result in a wild pitch or walk by Purke, undoubtedly.

 

Such a pathetic but predictable ending looming...hope I'm wrong.

Beck was like a deer in the headlights.

 

Can't believe that JBJ let him off the hook with that bunt in the air to Lawrie.

 

 

 

This is White Sox baseball

Congrats Red Sox we blew this b****. Sigh oh well

Predictable loss once Purke came in. Way too many AAA players on this roster. The injuries to Putnam and Petricka illustrate how god awful the system is.

Chances Burdi is called up? He's not in Arizona anymore.

Thanks bullpen

Terrible loss.

GAME OVER

 

Knew that was happening.

 

Can't believe I just wasted five hours staying awake from 1 a.m. to 6 a.m.

 

This team just doesn't have that killer instinct to put our boot down on another team's neck and crush them. The Red Sox gave us so many chances to sweep the series and we choked the bit.

Big reason why I've said fools gold. Don't have the farm system to go out and fix things.

Still hate this team

.500 again not a goal I guess

They're just not very good man.

Not mad about winning 3 of 4. Both teams could have swept the other. Hahn has his work cut out for him to make this a team that can even pray of making wild card.

That is KW fault yet he still is employed
