Have to wonder how many more of these we're gonna see before Tony realizes the status quo is not working right now.

12 hits in 2 games, and only one an XBH. 20 K's. 1 run in 19 games.
Wasted another great outing from Lance. Your starter gives you 7 innings, 1 run, 4 hits, and you win 98% of the time.I want my $2
I wasn't in the last can. I was in the first can. You started at the wrong end. - Tosh

Great game, the offense needs somebody to get hot and carry it for a while, Kimbrel has been a consistent failure so far, proving what we all knew anyway, that money is not a substitute for talent evaluation skills. That is all.Ah, you can't beat fun at the old ball park.

With Cleveland getting the lowly Rangers team at home and the Sox seemingly unable to compete on the road with good teams things could be really tight heading into September. Playoffs are not guaranteed. Have to take care of your own business and the Sox haven't been able to do that since All-Star break.

Just some thoughts.
Since the All Star break the Sox, and TLR, have been acting like they already won the division...sleepwalking, no urgency, stupid mistakes.
Unless I was in a coma and missed the champaign party, they haven't won it.
The Sox need to stop "resting" guys for October, stop figuring out who is going to play where in October, stop playing everyone on the roster, for whatever reason, even though at least a half dozen guys have been awful since the break.
They need to spend more time figuring out the here and now and let October work itself out when it comes.
Secondly, Kimbrel's ERA is now almost six since the trade. He's in an adult league now and is getting lit up. He fits right in it seems, with this bullpen that has been inconsistent at best since opening night when Bummer blew the save and started this hot-mess.
Sox are now 7-16 on the road this year against all teams in MLB who have a winning record as of tonight.
7-16.
And since the break they are 3-9 in one run games. Make of that what you will.Last edited by Lipman 1; 08-24-2021, 12:49 AM.

The lead is down to 9 but in the ever so important loss column the difference is 7.
The way this team is performing right now, nothing is in bag. I became a baseball fan in 1952 and have seen a lot of teams blow big leads in a pennant race. These guys need a kick in the ass and right now I have no confidence in TLR to motivate them, hiring him was just another wrong move by JR of which there have been many in his 40 years of ownership.Now coming up to bat for the White Sox is the Mighty Mite, Nelson Fox.
