Expand Counterpoint: Bieber is 7-2 vs. the Sox with a 2.33. And I think one of those losses was the Rodon no-hitter. He is going to miss the unbalanced schedule. meanwhile, Cease is 3-3 with a 4.81 vs. Cleveland. They don’t strike out much, and that hurts him. You gotta believe Bieber’s the favorite going into this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewick Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 There are 66 games left in the season, every game is important especially these divisional matchups. Larussa has no problem putting out sheets, garcia, etc every day but proceeds to give guys like Vaughn and TA days off. Grandal possibly turning it around, let's give him a day off. The logic is mind-numbing, the Sox have 2 days off next week, including one tomorrow. Can't wait for a Sunday lineup Friday , claiming issues adjusting back to Midwestern air after a few days in Denver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPR Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) Pollock 3rd?! LaRussa has been drunk since Tuesday. And Sheets in there everyday cuz the Sox are more desperate for a left handed bat than a kid with acne is for a date to the prom. No amount of hair dye, or alcohol, is going to fix La Russia. (That’s what I’m calling him now cuz he’s the enemy). Where’s this guys mojo? Where’s his hall of fame charm? Does he have an X taped by the stairs in the dug out, as a symbol, so he knows where to stand? Shake it up a bit Tony! These guys gotta be loose heading into the games in Colorado. Sox will hit 6 home runs in that 2 game set, bet. Edited July 24, 2022 by JPR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitekrazy Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 So Vaughn is among the fragile. I get it he shouldn't play in the OF but it's not like the ball is hit there over 27 times. Anyone hear Hawk on the SCORE talking about the "coddling" in baseball? Ozzie said it was a privilege to play everyday. You have one of the oldest players on the team who refuse to let anything keep him from playing. Most people who are not into baseball think it's a sport where people stand around. Maybe younger generations are into that and don't think you need to be in physical shape. There plenty of theories out there going around. One is players are training for the wrong sport. Cueto runs during is off days. As sad as it is with all of this brittleness you can almost appreciate a guy like Leury. Maybe they should make him a conditioning coach.

JPR Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 This is why I am glad I moved outta south of Chicago about a decade ago. A thirteen year old, running a Madden franchise, would know to ditch this current White Sox so-called training staff with a better rated one. I worked at the Thompson Center with rod blagojevich and I’ll tell you what, the Sox run their franchise like balgojevichs’ yes-men before he went down in a blitz of press. How long do bear fans wish for one era to pass on and a new one take over? The same is true for the White Sox now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand What people are forgetting is TLR was booed out of town in 1986, it wasn't just Hawk that was fed up with his antics it was the fans. This was 3 years after taking them to the playoffs in 83 when bonehead left Britt Burns in the game to pitch the 10th inning and we all know what happened after that. It's kinda like Phil Jackson being the best coach on earth, ya ok when you have Jordan and Bryant coaching is a lot easier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
