Chicago White Sox Ongoing Thread

[podsox]

I'm extremely pumped for this season. hopefully everyone stays healthy through spring and Rodon shines. Besides 2nd base and the front end of the bullpen there isn't many positions up for grabs

Wow, Chicago wins two games today and suddenly they're the toast of the American League! Congratulations on such an amazing and fantastic season already! How are you guys planning to celebrate?

I guess you failed to notice the date in the OP and that this happens to be an ongoing sticky thread.

Phillies phan, huh? lol

Well, that's three games we have to make up now thanks to riots/looting in Baltimore.

At this rate, Sale & Samardzija might not ever get back in lineup/rotation.

Micah Johnson sent back down to Charlotte. Kinda surprised with that move. Hope Bonafacio pans out at 2nd.

 

[craigk217]

Samardzija, Sale & Quintana, along with Paulie getting #14 retired yesterday isn't enough to get this team to win against the friggen Twinkees???

Going the wrong way, here, and the offensive woes are evident. This team should be producing much better offensively. Horrible home stand when the time was right to make up some ground.

The bats finally caught fire! 9 runs!



But… we lost anyway

 

[craigk217]

Robertson blows another.

 

[richig07]

I'm not going to complain about the split, with a AAA guy throwing for us game two in his debut… but… Man, it sure felt like that game was there for the taking.

Beckham cannot make that base running gaffe. Could have been an entirely different ball game. 1st and 3rd with one out, pressure still on them in a one run game.

Somebody please tell me how Soto isn't this team's starting catcher yet!?

In one key stolen base attempt by Houston and one late game AB. I think he accomplished more than Flowers has all season.

can someone tell me how flowers or soto has a job in the major leagues?

flowers cant hit and he cant throw anyone out. the whole calling a game is overrated. im sick of the "he is the second best catcher in the bigs at framing pitches". u know he sucks if that is the one thing annoucer can point to as a plus. let a coach call a game and find a catcher who can hit his weight and throw runners out

soto looks over matched at the plate far too often. nice hit tonight but that was more of a huge mistake by a pitcher than anything else.

 

[craigk217]

Ran into a buzz saw today vs. Keuchel. Yeeesh.

Poor Quintana ... threw another great game. I feel bad for this guy ... again.

 

[craigk217]

Wow.

Great game tonite against Chiggers. Down to last out in the game ... losin 3-2 ... and Laroche (of all peeps) goes yard to tie it up. Then go on to win in 11 when Garcia gets plunked with bases loaded!

I'll take it!

And ... send Detroit to their 8th straight loss.

 

[craigk217]

UNBEARABLE THIS TEAM.

Gave TB three runs last nite ... lost.

and

Gave them two today for another loss.

Why in THEE holy fuq is Parent letting Flowers be the last hitter with two on in the 9th needing a run to tie??? W.T.F.?

We lose even without Robin in the dugout.

 

[podsox]

apparently this entire coaching staff is fricken stupid. u go down swinging with emilio and tyler flowers? did parent just read a card that says lefty pitching must hit righty? ill take my chances every time with shuck and conor (who just hit a hr in his last ab) clueless team with an even more clueless coaching staff

 

[richig07]

My god, this team is an absolute embarrassment.

As far as I'm concerned, fire Robin tomorrow. This season is over.

Leaving your fucking ace out there throwing a one hitter. Put one pathetic run on the board. This offense is a complete joke.

 

[podsox]

im taking a week off from watching this team. it just isnt worth getting pissed off every fricken day over these fools. listening to hawk only makes it worse

 

[idseer]

from the top down this ownership is poison and it will not get any better until the team is sold to someone who knows what the fuck they're doing. i wasted $100 on the mlb tv package this season because it looked possible that the sox might win IN SPITE of reinsdork and friends. instead, this has the makings of being the biggest disappointment in white sox history.

I might be joining, but I prolly won't, cuz I just can't pass up an opportunity of self-inflicted sports pain.

0-5 this road trip

1 run scored in last three games .... 0 in Pitts and we have them coming to town for some more!

Teams are lining up to play us, foaming at the mouth

I had such high hope for this team ... bunch of disappointing underachievers.
