I so agree. The Braves game was a disgrace. LIke I said in another post: Men against boys.

At this point, there is not much you can expect out of Kopech. He has had his brilliant moments, but he hasn't shown that he is a consistent major league pitcher. The team mishandled him from the start. This game was just plain bad.

Men against boys.

Disco Demolition was a nightmare, and any revival of it would only remind us of that nightmare. I have nothing against creative promotions to bring people out. Fun is fun. The Sox FO must be desperate if they are floating the Disco Demolition idea. The whole franchise became an embarrassment. The team is embarrassing enough at it is without reviving this nonsense.

Ozzie was no cancel culture victim if such a dumb ass thing exists. He became a bad manager and should have been fired in 2011. Bringing back an old employee would be another dumb thing the FO could do. Take the team in a different direction for god sakes.

I find the stuff about Moncada and Anderson just strange. Moncada gets hurt, the team states that it is relatively minor, and he will miss a couple days. Then he disappears for about a month. A team doesn't have to tell fans everything about injuries, but the things surrounding Moncada don't add up. What has happened to Anderson? Has he lost his skills? Is he playing hurt? No HRs at the ASB? Average in the low .200s? Whatever has happened to him, he doesn't belong at the top of the order. There are plenty of things wrong with the White Sox, and I bet we fans don't know the half of it.

Then how can he stand it? His name is associated with this nonsense.

We, as fans, have no other choice but to feel this way. Other than not going to games, we can do nothing else, and even a fan boycott won't change anything. In the end, we will only be called disloyal, and the idiocy will only continue.

Of course, they showed none of these things. And now the excuse of inexperience can't be used. These guys have played some games. It's already been a long season, and it will only get longer. They were lucky they didn't get completely swept in this last home stand. Just what have they shown us? And why should we have any expectations whatsoever?

Exactly. This offense has done nothing all year. St. Louis had only two runs going into ninth and yet they won. Tim has been bad, but other than Robert, no one in that lineup has done anything. Yes, Burger can hit the ball a long way when he hits it. But he has to hit it first. Same for Sheets. This offense is, at the very least, lifeless.

Good point, but if I was a Cardinal fan, I wouldn't want to travel that far to see that boring team. Anyway, I've been a Sox fan for a long time, and I can remember much smaller crowds, and it didn't matter who they were playing. 26,500 is good even with the influx of other fans.

The fact that Hahn is still around is even worse than the Sox performance on the field. The Sox are circling their wagons in response to public pressure. This only indicates that the team is totally dysfunctional. We would like to see action, but nothing happens, and the situation worsens. Firings should have happened after the Oakland series. Firings should happen during the break. Instead, the cloak of denial will go up and nothing will happen.

South Side Hit Men: You're right. Anderson doesn't look comfortable at the plate. There certainly is no appearance of cockiness or confidence. On the post-game show, Ozzie got defensive and told fans that the good Anderson will be back. That attitude tells me different. Tells me there is some big denial out there. The crowd of over 26,000 actually isn't bad considering the Sox are among the walking dead. In past bad years, attendance was worse. I think attendance is fairly decent considering the team is sitting on its hands watching everything self-destruct.

Anderson has no power whatsoever hitting the ball to the left side. Not even a hard ground ball. He looks like another Sox player who is hurt and doesn't belong out there. Moncada out there barely running. Last year Robert playing with one good hand. Now Anderson looks like he's playing at 30%. It is incredible how dumb this organization is. Why don't the Sox just come and tell its fans that it doesn't care about winning?

Stone is probably speaking for Reinsdorf again. Part of his job description.

That's what he means, and the Sox have a grand total of three post season wins since 2005. The team won't be getting any more with the likes of Burger and Sheets around. RIght now, you can add Vaughn, too.

Actually, they have had some good crowds lately although I don't know why anyone wants to bother with this team. That ninth inning was horrible but also typical for the Sox this year. Three up, three down, the ball not leaving the infield if they bother hitting it at all. I don't know why any fan would dream of the Sox getting to .500. Isn't going to happen.

I hope not, as there was no other reason to pinch hit Grandal there. Eloy already had 2 RBIs and had a runner sitting on second. And yet ground ball Grandal gets sent up there. Just fire Pedro anyway.

Nice ninth inning by Frazier. Gets picked off and plays a goofy right field. Light hitting Oakland gets 21 runs in the series. Remillard is a player. The rest of the team can learn from him.

Fire Pedro before this train wreck leaves the west coast. I never thought I'd say this but bring in Ozzie. What do you have to lose? If not Ozzie, someone. The FO can't just sit on its hands and watch this team completely implode. Doing nothing is just giving up.

Weirdest game I have ever seen. It seemed like the Sox were looking for ways to lose. The A's stink but they out-hustled the Sox. Somebody needs to be fired, and I don't care who it is. This team cannot win even a bad division. No, a horse-s%*# division.

When it really comes down to it, Anderson shouldn't be in the lineup at all. He hasn't hit all season, and his head isn't in the game. His drop off is amazing. I don't know what is going on with him, but his career is in real jeopardy. Elvis can't hit, but he'd give you more than this. There should be some kind of intervention with Anderson because he is falling apart.

This is what JR and the rest of the Sox doesn't understand. Many loyal and long-time fans are tuning out because this FO has no clue. There are many suggestions on this thread to improve this club. But just who is going make any changes to turn this club around? First dramatic changes need to be made in the FO and that just isn't happening. Instead, everyone is sitting on their hands doing nothing or lashing out at fans. There are so many things wrong with this roster. Even if some action is finally taken, it will take time to rebuild this club. We have to expect more losing. 2025 is just around the corner and we will have experienced 20 years without another World Series. Maybe even 20 more years after that.

Injuries can't be used as an excuse for Eloy any more. I don't know what is wrong with him, but he just isn't contributing anything. As strong as he is, he should hit a few homers by accident. Big disappointment.

Thomas and Allen were pure hitters, but they couldn't do some of the things that Robert can do and will do.
