Should have been much more aggressive on the basepaths earlier in the game.  Having guys on first and depending on multiple hits to score them was a mistake.  Thinking 3 or 4 runs was going to win this game is pretty dumb thinking.

Who should have been running and when?

This is on Ricky for stranding 10 and not throwing strikes

The game didn’t have to be put entirely in the hands of the bullpen. The manager made the decision. If they were going to do anything in the playoffs this year, you trust your future (Dunning) to make a leap in development and win a big game. Managing like you are scared of giving up a run in the first inning doesn’t win you games.

The White Sox philosophy of hitting v Oakland is evident today.  The A's are making the Sox relievers throw strikes and the Sox are bailing their relievers out.

Sox need hitters to work the count to balance the lineup.

It is not the hitting coach either because the White Sox hired the A's coordinator.

They need to emphasize that as it may well cost them the game today. 

This is the difference between a veteran team and a team this young.

It looks like a fuckin' playoff game to me.  Because it is.  He's a baseball manager, not an in-game sports psychologist.  

What a dumb take.

but you want to call my take dumb... LMAO

That's on Ricky for not willing them to hit

These statements could be transposed to any failure with one of our teams. Maybe we should of kept Manuel.  Manuel wasn't hitting or pitching. Neither did Bevington.
