Let it never be said that White Sox fans aren't petty - because we are now FIVE days removed from one 3-0 count that will apparently be referenced in every single thread on every single day.
I mean, think about how insane you people sound. You're going on a rampage over ONE SINGLE 3-0 call in a 15-4 game that you disagreed with. I'd offer you all therapy but I can't afford to pay for the entire message board and I'm honestly not sure if it would help fix your broken brains.
There was nobody else to pitch. The bullpen is so hopeless right now. Bummer just lost a game earlier this week; Heuer is a disater, Hendricks can't pitch in a tied game - the list goes on. Had no choice but to keep going with Marshalls. Hopefully Hahn gets some help for this sad bullpen soon.
Oh please. My point was you can pick out any decision a manager makes and place the blame on him but its so hard to do the opposite. They never get the credit for the lineups for example, which most people here shit on every day (until they win).
Wow. So after all the vitriol, the lies, the hatred, we learn that TLR is a beloved father figure to the team and everything is fine. A lot of people have to do some self reflection.
Wow, congrats Billy, how awesome.
Was at the twins game last week and the center field crowd was showering billy with love, and he reciprocated. It was fun. He had his own cheering section.
Nobody is trying to stop Yermin from trying to win. It was just 1 pitch. I don't understand that part of your argument. Him swinging on 3-1 wouldn't have been an issue and we wouldn't be having this discussion.
Taking a knee doesn't end a game any sooner than running another play (provided its not an incomplete pass). Please do not try and deny that there is an aspect of "not showing another team up" when an NFL team clearly stops trying hard to score late in a game where they are blowing the other team out. Happens all the time.
These are minor differences. You're not going to blow a 4 touchdown lead in the 4th quarter with a minute to go. That is not why they take a knee. The injury thing is valid, but hardly decisive.
