The Kids Can Play

Go google the term "Implosion" and you will see the definition and photos of the White Sox bullpen, with the best examples of Kelly, Middleton and Graveman.

Graveman is not a closer! The bullpen the last two days are chockers!

Agreed! I will this. Frazier is a superior outfielder defensively and the way Sheets is hitting, nothing loss and as you said, a lateral move. I'm glad TA is not in the lineup. I wish it could be longer. Even when he does come back, he should never be leading off again. I've posted this several times before, but Seby catching is a huge upgrade regardless of his hitting. The Sox pitchers are so much more comfortable with Seby behind the plate. Since our hitting is so anemic, the pitching becomes even more critical now...hence why Seby is a good replacement for Yaz. One thing good is, at least is Burger moved up another spot. It's not high enough yet, but hopefully getting there.

Once again it's the selfish and ignorant Rick Hahn with his stupid front office, that evidently calculated a poorly designed rehab plan to bring back Liam healthy and productive. Once again the genius Rick Hahn made a huge blunder in being too aggressive and quick in the time-frame recovery.

You only need two names on list of why the White Sox are one of the worst teams in baseball since 1981, when Jerry Reinsdorf bought the White Sox. 1. Jerry Reinsdorf - owner from 1981-2023 - 43 seasons 2. Rick Hahn - GM - 2013- 2023 - 11 seasons In the 43 seasons Jerry has been owner, here are his accomplishments: - Won the division 6 times and one wild card playoff appearance for a grand total of 7 playoffs in 42 years. Note: The Wild Card in 2020 was only due to the pandemic shortened season and that one year MLB took an extra wild card team, which was of course was the White Sox. - His teams never got past the first round round of the playoffs other than 2005, when they won the World Series. In the 10 seasons Rick Hahn has been the GM here are his accomplishments: - Two playoff appearances with first round losses in both playoffs. - W-L record - W 722- L 848 - Horrible farm system which was ranked 29th in 2022 and 26th in 2023. - Complete shameful debacle of the 2016 rebuild. - Horrible track record of drafting, bombed FA signings and constant botched/fleeced trades, Until these two POS clowns are gone, this team will always be a mediocre and dysfunctional embarrassment to the city, fans and baseball in general.

Again, another managerial mistake handling the bullpen by our rookie POS manager Grifol! No way in hell should Kelly have been the closer!

Kelly is fine in a 7th or maybe 8th inning lead, but no way in hell in crunch time in the 9th inning. That takes real men with mental toughness, determination and supreme effort. These are traits Kelly obviously does not have!

Kelly does not have the mental toughness to be counted on in closing 9th innings during "big boys" crunch time! Leave him for leads in the 7th inning.

I agree and that is why Burger needs to bat higher in the lineup for protection so he sees better and more pitches. This is obviously way over Pedro's' managerial IQ!

I totally agree and Grandal can't handle Kopech's balls in the dirt like Seby can. Seby has caught Kopech for the last 8 consecutive starts. The last time Grandal caught Kopech was at TB on April 29 when we lost 8-7. Romy off is really dumb too.

In the last three games the bullpen hasn't given up a single run in 9 straight innings. IP ER Graveman 2 0 Santos 1 0 Middleton 1 0 Hendricks 1 0 Bummer 1 0 Crochet 1 0 Lopez 1 0 Kelly 1 0

Right now at BetRivers, they have the following odds to win the AL Central: Twins -230 Guardians +250 White Sox +850 Tigers +2500 Royals +25000

We are throwing our best three starters at them and hopefully the bats can get hot all three games, as well as the bullpen staying strong like it has been. Cease absolutely must have one of his stud games tonight.

What odds did you get? BetRivers has them at +850. Tbh, that's not a bad bet.

Eloy is either really stupid or lazy or a combination of both. After all his injuries how can he still be so ignorant and uneducated about the proper strength training, conditioning, flexibility and stretching exercises?

Wtg Pedro on another ridiculous lineup putting Burger 6th and letting Moncada and Vaughn hit before him. As Forrest Gump's mom always told him, "Stupid is as Stupid does!"

It's still painful to relive those two horrific years under the TLR. I guess we saw one of his low ends of how excessive drinking destroyed his brain cells, which in turn affected his cognitive and rational thinking process. When they look back someday on Reinsdorf's career of imbecile moves, the hiring of LaRussa will be right near the top of them, along with allowing Jerry Krause to fire Phil Jackson and force Michael Jordan out of town.

The Sox and Marlins have one thing in common. They are both 3.5 games out of first place in their divisions. What the Sox and Marlins don't have in common...W-L record! The Sox are 8 games under 500 and Marlins are 7 games over 500. ?

Lance Lynn's 10 year plan on staying in good pitching shape! Lance Lynn - 2013 Lance Lynn - 2023

The chances of that happening are slim to none...and slim just left town! ?

WTG Tim, another weak groundball out.

Almost all his outings this year have been pathetic and disappointing. He is sitting on a 6.72 ERA.

This is the result of an aging pitcher who had no desire or discipline to have gotten in great shape in the off-season through diet, cardio and strength training.

Bingo! Well said!

You would hope so! But it's still Pedro we're talking about and we know how he sucks at lineups this year!
