Well there is this concept of adjusting when the moment requires it. Hence the word Manage in Manager. This is a first to 3 wins the series. Not a hey I wonder how game 4 is going to play out. We might not get to game 4.

My prediction is that Hahn becomes the fall guy and they elevate TLR to Manager/GM. Then really hold on to your butts. Because if you thought KW liked old washed up players, wait till Tony gets his way. First of all Katz will be fired and replaced with Duncan or a relative of Duncan.

Who wins a series hitting only singles. Hitting, pitching and defense has been ass. We have done nothing better than meh this series.

I for one like having the last ABs more than the other team. Especially in a short series. But then again you do you.

And most of the 9% were old crusty types. "I WONT HAVE NO CHEATER ON MY TEAM", "TLR FORGOT MORe ABOUT BASEBALL THAN THEY EVAH WILL KNOW"

This AB by Abreu reminds me of the old lift and pull days of Jose Valentin.

Once again. Just because you have a fond memory of yesteryear doesnt make the player a good coach. The Big Hurt might be the best hitter that I have seen with the sox, it doesnt mean he can teach it. Robin Ventura was one of my favorite players, he was a bad manager. Great Player != Good or competent coach

So being the white sox. They will give TLR more power to make decisions. They will promote Hahn to Assistant President of Baseball Stuff, Promote KW to Chairmans Fluffer and then fire Katz for the pitchers giving up runs in the playoff.

Name one playoff team that Leury in starting for in the playoffs.

And thats our season in a nutshell. Great work all around here. Solid. Nothing to fix here, world series contender.

And now a scrub playing RF gets turned around on a catchable ball.

He might extend him and give him more power.

Now Kimbrel is in. God TLR going to TLR.

The other issue is fans believe "all you need to do is get into the dance and anything can happen". This is based on anecdotal evidence at best. So we accept this nonsense because its a lottery ticket and the lottery is the biggest tax on the stupid.

He is here until the chairman is no longer here or until Tony says he is done.

Now Bummer enters. Grandpa sees its the 7th inning, checks his papers. Yup lets put in Bummer.

i would take a plain old extra base hit. We cant even get past 1st on a batted ball.

This is why they didnt do well against good teams. This idea that they were going to magically flip a switch and just become a juggernaut is ignoring the obvious.

Mr Checkers is doing strategy.

You traded Madrigal to get a second strikeout high leverage pitcher. The Rays would of trotted his ass out in the 4th if it was the same situation.

We have two closers. Why with the lead on the road would you not go to either closer. This is why you hire a more modern manager who understands todays game and not the guy trying to figure out instant replay.

Danny Mendick on the roster is confusing. Playing Leury as much as he does is confusing. Pitching Crochet yesterday and then bringing him in today first while Bummer and the rest of the pen is rested is confusing. Why we hired a guy 10 years out of baseball who likes to drink and drive and is out of touch and is near 80, confusing. We are going to waste this window doing stupid things.

Try to tell TLR that you can use your closer outside of the 9th with a lead.

Since when. Most would argue that 3 hole is your best hitter.

Maybe we should get a camera on the catcher, a raspberry pi with a low voltage emitter, and some garbage cans for our players and maybe we can impress her.
