Thats like blaming Godzilla for destroying Tokyo after they woke him up from his dormant sleep.

I could go further and call Eloy not taking the game seriously enough. But I wont because such conjecture seems to be causing distress

He’s starting to look like he has a mental approach problem. Wonder if he resents being coached sometimes and wants to show people up. Maybe the DH thing has unleashed a beast.

Lol, think Kimbrel is gonna pitch? TLR should kill the good times

Eloy catching balls with flair like ricky Henderson

Big gun Sister Mary Sobieck will be here next game to finish them

The white Sox adjust launch angle to worm level

There’s a good reason you like them so much

Grandal’s play was as much Rodmanesque as AJesque.

Never really seen such an awesome ground ball rally

Grandal channels his inner AJ ?

Night game. Of course! Those day games were the problem

Saving Kopech for game 5. So yeah.

How many more home games we got?

“Professional hitters, good hitters down the lineup,” La Russa said. “They run the bases well. They play good defense. “Must be an Astros thing.”

Part of the evaluation is based on the results. I disagree on the Madrigal opinion, but agree on the results oriented evaluation of the deal. This deal was always done because the Sox expected it to push them over the top to win the ‘ship. You had better win it all if you make this kind of deal. But unfortunately, the Sox specialize in this sort of miscalculation. Over and over.

Eh, I don’t think you project what you think-a player *should* be able to do when making an acquisition. You get him for what he has proven he can do. Doing the former is asking for trouble. Thats on Hahn, not Kimbrel. If you do cowboy trades like that, you don’t give up a major asset that’s for sure.

Well yes. But he also didn’t cost a major piece

Well I was hoping Kimbrel would be able to rehab his trade value in the post season at least. Best laid plans and all that. Kimbrel has never been a good pitcher until he became a closer. If Sox plan was to alter his success pattern, ridiculous. Whoever said we can’t blame the FO is being generous. yeah, I mean, the Sox get blown up in asset trades to aquire veterans, yet the beat goes on and on. They will do it again next year, mark my words.

Kimbrel Eloy Cease v Codi Heuer Madrigal Quintanna we are still ahead, but they made up some ground. We could not help ourselves I guess. Maybe Hahn should take note that he wins trades when HE is the one trading the veteran.

Scouting report aside, we wasted an asset. 2 assets

going with Rodon is assininine. Read the situation guys. In an elimination game, Lets start the biggest question mark we have left why don’t we

Abreu is more than fine. But there is a logjam behind him and the organization has to move forward. Its not working.

They have to make some hard decisions. I think the Abreu era is over. A solid direction is needed, and it has to do with defense and the little things like baserunning. Some sacred cows may have to be sacrificed. The baseball character of this group is fatally flawed

Start Cease and Kopech now. No holding back.
