Which means they don’t score!

This is a strikeout waiting to happen!

When the Sox get runners on they struggle, and I mean struggle, to score. The opposing team gets a runner on, even with two outs, and they manage to score!

May have to become an Oriole fan. They’re rebuild seems to be working!

Fouling off cookies!

No power and no speed is not a good combination!

Orioles have 4 runs on 3 hits! It would take the Sox 16 hits to score 4 runs.

What has happened to Cease’s strikeouts?

Sox can’t score on any bullpen let alone a good one!

A hit in every inning but score runs in only 1! And of course, Voth gets his high in pitches thrown tonight.

Like I’ve said!

Once again an opportunity to squeeze a run home and they strike out twice!

The entire right side of the infield is vacant but Pollock pulls the ball!

If only this happened to Giolitto!

Pretty obvious that the Sox didn’t really want to play this game. It’s definitely a disadvantage for the visitors to travel for just one game.

Royals look like they will challenge the 21 runs scored by Houston.

It’s truly amazing how the Royals continually beat the shit out of the White Sox!

This is not going to end well!

Game over! Won’t score against Cy Lynch!

I’ve come to anticipate a loss when playing these mighty KC Royals!

What bothers me regarding LaRussa as manager is that he doesn’t actually manage. He never tries to steal a base, hit and run, or bunt runners in/over. Case in point last night. The Sox were fortunate to get two early runs but could not add on the rest of the game, even though they twice had a runner at third with less than two outs - once with no outs. The first time was in the first inning and Grandall hit into a double play. Not much Tony could do here, although Grandall should not be the DH - period. The man is a double play machine. The other time I felt he needed to squeeze him in, if only because Mackenzie was striking out everyone in sight with the curve ball, which is easier to bunt than the fastball. You just knew that unless Tony got creative here, Mackenzie would strike out the side - which he did in 9 pitches. LaRussa somehow does not get the fact that his team sucks with runners in scoring position. He needs to be creative to score runs. I believe it’s called small ball.

Guardians are just a better team with a much better manager. Those two runs may just be the only two runs they score all weekend!

The comeback has begun! This game will end up 5-2 Guardians!

Let’s not swing at that breaking pitch and make Mackenzie throw strikes.

Cleveland announcers are basically laughing at Sox hitters saying they can’t touch Mackenzie!
