Forgot about that one. Maldonado is probably the slowest runner in MLB and the heaviest. Would have taken a triple or a homer to score him from second.

That probably cost us the game. First Lee has been hitting well enough. Second Pham struck out. Third you bring Maldonado late in the game. Fourth Maldonado comes to bat in the ninth in a tied game. Pedro is a moron.

Sheets would probably do well in Korea.

Certainly not throwing. Two terrible throws towards home plate, two runs allowed.

This was a battle of the losers and it showed with the lack of execution and lack of clutch hitting on both sides.

DeJong had a terrible offensive game 0-6. Failure to hit to the right side with men at second was a big problem. Should have won in the bottom of the ninth with better execution.

Braves announcers on this weeks game were thanking the Sox for Bummer, and praising Bummer for being one of only two pitchers this season in MLB with no barrels. Maybe Bummer also needed a change of scenery and has a better surrounding cast in ATL which is helping him. In hindsight, maybe we should have kept him in view of how erratic our pen has been with a bunch of journeymen.

I love” You can put it on the board..Yes!,”. The good old days.

This series is the battle for the lucky losers title. So far the Sox are winning. Both teams have been interchangeably bad, could be the Chicago Rockies and the Colorado White Sox, could not tell much of a difference before, but the Sox are pulling away lately.

Particularly in a home run friendly stadium like GRF, and with no shift more ground ball outs.

Agree. Can’t understand why Pedro keeps playing Maldonado in a lost season, and not give the youngsters the opportunity to play as they are the future, not a Maldonado and his .100 line.

That’s great. Imagine if we would still have Cease, ReyLo and Bummer, our season would be a different story. Padres and Braves are thanking the Sox. ReyLo ERA 1.70 lowest for a starter in MLB, Bummer only one of two pitchers in MLB with no barrels this season, and Cease has a 3.84 ERA with 125 Ks. I hope we got some good returns for these guys, beyond a salary dump.

Agree. And Bummer only one of two MLB relievers this season with no barrels. ReyLo has the best starting pitcher ERA in MLB of 1.70. Braves are thanking the Sox.

The empty seats maybe were bought by the Sox in a phantom accounting deal. JR is an accountant and lawyer. Then they could technically call it a sellout.

Worse than now, which is really really bad.

They need to showcase Crochet to get maximum haul at trade deadline, and they better get a super big haul for a 25 yr old top two pitcher, with 2 years of cheap control. Let’s not give him away.

Biggest wet dream of the year.

Because he is going thrushes motions, and Grifol has not done a thing to correct it.

Biggest brain fart of the year. Team is not focused. Just going thru the motions. Robert swings are the plate have been pathetic. The buck on the field stops with Grifol. What more does he needs to do to get fired? The man is just a bad manager.

Sosa has looked pretty bad at 3rd base lately, very porous.

Was Pedro referring to the White Sox fan asses.?

That is also below the Maldonado line equivalent of 10% of runners.

Cubs bullpen is awful as well. Chicago malady this season.

Maldonado up to .090, almost reaching the 0.100 Maldonado line. Still he looks more like a football lineman than a baseball player. He must be pushing 275 lbs.

Our relievers are prone to giving up walks and homers, not good for their trade.
