Chimpton

None of that changes the fact that he and others have said the same thing about the lack of ambition in the clubhouse.

No, just not very good, he at least looked like he was trying.

Criticise Mcguire all you want for his extra curricular pastimes but the point remains that what he said suggesting lack of ambition in the White Sox clubhouse does sound right and he is not the first person to suggest it.

Unfortunately we will just have to 'imagine' it because Robert and Jimenez seem so injury prone but it does give some hope for the future if they can stay fit at the same time.

Lynn has done a decent enough job today, but time to hand it over to the bullpen and hope they can finish the job.

Not an injury this time ?

His fielding might still be dodgy but at least Eloy is beginning to show some form with the bat. Keep him at DH with the occasional LF appearance.

They will be out the line up tomorrow

Thanks, I am sure the Padres wouldn't want to terminate his contract but it is interesting that it is not grounds for termination if they wanted.

Can they use his PED use to void the contract?

And it is perfectly common to have dysfunctional 'families' as well as dysfunctional ball clubs.

The fact that this thread has been running virtually all season and the batting results have not improved at all suggests the FO don't give a shit.

3 for 29 with RISP so far this series!

Another single! But the Royals thought they would help us out with the error!

Cueto has done ok as well.

And we are still losing to them! Again!

Is Grandal playing 1B because we don't have any other 1B type batters in the squad or because of his hot bat?

Why? They will then only destroy hope by losing the 4 after that ?

Maybe we could persuade the BoSox to take Moncada back as part of the trade!

I would suggest the Dead Kennedys 'Too Drunk to F*ck' but with a slight change to the title to 'Too Drunk to Give a F*ck'.

If they hit a home run he could walk the bases, then again if they could hit a home run we wouldn't be where we are in the division!

A radical idea that I am sure our ultra intelligent manager will veto.

He does look like he is going through the motions and doesn't care but that may just be his body language some players are like that others smash bats and trash the locker room. Either way a hitting coach is supposed to help players through spells like this and that doesn't appear to have happened as his approach at the plate looks unchanged.

If only he could work with a hitting coach to help him with that!

Nice win and both Cease and Hendricks did great, but relying on the pitchers keeping the opposition to one run or less is not a recipe for a win streak. Two games against the Rangers has generated 4 runs, the offense really needs to pull its weight consistently and maybe hit a few more homers, but that is too obvious for our hitting coach to realise!
