Swept by the Mariners almost instantly, including that suicide squeeze at the end of 3rd game, was that Carlos Guillen who laid it down? That once-dominant offense shut down as well at the end of the year, pitching staff was LIMPING into the playoffs. This years team really share a lot of similarities with that team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudyLawRules Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 So tomorrow is ANOTHER must-win game. If we can win...and sweep the Flubs to close it out...we MAY have weathered this. A 2-2 finish and we get swept in first round. All IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The long term concerns over Robert are ludicrous. For 2020, have I lost hope? Kind of, yeah. However, making such damning claims towards a player's career over a bad few weeks. After being the ROY front runner? Come on... just... come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet we beat them up pretty well last year when it didn't matter. What were we 13-6 or 12-7 against CLE, something like that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Anybody want to blow some more smoke up my ass about Renteria's great clubhouse management? His own leader, Abreu, said the team let off. Great job leading the men Rick! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan of Steel Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Unless the Sox manage to make it out of the first round, I absolutely want RR gone. Some of the worst pen management I've ever had the displeasure of witnessing in the last week. Just brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) Gio is a gas can at this point. They said Colome was warming up so either it didn’t go well or they were saving him for a save situation. Detwiler has been bad lately, I take it Foster wasn’t available. Gio made a horrible pitch. The Sox lost 2 huge games with the last guys in their bullpen on the mound. If it’s the 14th or 15th inning, you could understand, but not the 9th and 10th.

Sucks to see how they have pushed the main guys so hard the last few days but then let the worst pitchers on the roster lose the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's referring to guys who come up and get abused immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, making such damning claims towards a player's career over a bad few weeks. After being the ROY front runner? Come on... just... come on. Look at Cameron's career fWAR numbers. I think the Trout comps and all the hype got to him...and the league's advanced scouts and pitching coaches dissected him so well. And he simply hasn't adjusted back. Something must be wrong physically, because he's not really making hard contact even when he is hitting the ball. If it's not physical, it's certainly psychological/mental. Every time you follow an at-bat, he gets behind in the count and you just feel an automatic strikeout coming. If not for that base hit against the Reds, he'd be closing in on the Mendoza line. It's crazy with all the talent that we have on this roster that we've never had a (position player) rookie put together a full season of success. Beckham, Tim Anderson and then Jimenez last year are the closest over the last 20 years or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Hit Men Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 7 minutes ago, caulfield12 said: Just announced. Rick Renteria signed a three year contract extension. I wonder how many Sox fans would give up this year's "playoff appearance" right now for the pick of any manager...? Rick Hahn already gave him a contract extension. Love what the Bulls did this off-season once Jerry was out of the way. The same needs to happen at 35th and Shields. Bulls: Gar Pax Gone Hawks: McDonough Gone, Bowman TBD Cubs: Maddon Gone Bears & White Sox: Same shit, different decade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
