C'mon people, you're being way too tough on our guys, they were all banged up and a little sluggish from Wednesday's game as they banged out a bunch of hits, scored 9 runs, while having to run the bases, hitting all those home runs, shagging fly balls, picking up grounders and having to make throws across the infield. I'm sure they will bounce back and win on Sunday and salvage a game in the series. Thank God the All Star break is coming up soon so they can have a nice rest and be ready for the second half in their quest for a 79-83 season.Last edited by LITTLE NELL; 07-08-2022, 05:40 AM.Now coming up to bat for the White Sox is the Mighty Mite, Nelson Fox.

The Sox somehow managed to lose a game to a team with a historically bad offense, when the pitching matchup was Cease against some guy named Beau Brieske. I know the division is still within reach, and they're more talented than the Twins and Guardians, but when stuff like this keeps happening it shows that even if they were to sneak into the playoffs, it would almost surely be a quick exit. There is just to much broken with this roster, from the managerial seat on down.
I know that they've had an unprecedented run of success by making the playoffs for 2 consecutive years, and 3-straight would be parade worthy, but really if they can't get to the ALCS (which seems like a pipe dream at this point) then this season is an abject failure. They're probably better off selling some pieces, retooling the roster in the offseason to make more sense, getting a manager who knows what he's doing, and going for it next year. This team has a lot of "2021 Minnesota Twins" vibes, except that they were out of the picture a lot earlier so it was clear what their direction would be.

Yeah I was actually thinking why not Vaughn, but Seby would have been a better choice too. Not our night offensively. What you gonna do?
La Russa gets blamed for a lot of stuff, and some of it isn't his fault or there is more going on behind the scenes, but then he makes moves like this that are completely unjustifiable. It happens all too often.

You and me? We can't do anything about it. The manager sure could have. Pinch hitting with the worst qualified hitter in the majors doesn't seem like a winning strategy.
