South Side Hit Men Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 2 hours ago, fathom said: Could you imagine how much Stoney would have blamed Renteria if his team didn’t hustle like this? 2 hours ago, maxjusttyped said: Stone acting like Renteria was the worst manager he's ever seen during 2020 is still so bizarre to me Jerry instructed his worthless paid hacks to attack Renteria, knowing full well he already hired Tony in the Spring or Summer. Fully convinced of the Sox won the fucking WS in 2020, they would still have fired Renteria. Tony was toxic to the universe before his DUI, had no chance of remaining with the Angels or being hired anywhere else’s once his DUI arrest was leaked. 2 hours ago, fathom said: Orioles are just as good as the Sox Orioles are better. They would be 10+ over .500 if they played the imbalanced AL Central schedule, and the Sox ten - games under if they played the AL East schedule. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said it going into this season after Hahn failed to address at least 3 major holes… ”I’m afraid we’ll finish third.” Welp, certainly seems like fears for sometimes become reality… but all I had to do is evaluate my life for 5 minutes for that truth to become apparent. Yay. I’m so overwhelmingly happy. Oh boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tray Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Luck is a huge element in sports, especially in close contests. An inch, a bad bounce, or a couple of long balls that fall just short of being home runs. One bad hanging pitch driven out for a 3 run home run...one of just 5 hits in the game.

greg775 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 My man Jose had no chance against that high heat from the closer. This has been the least enjoyable season in memory. Another injury tonight. Another loss. Boy do the Sox reek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose swung at a 3-2 pitch out of the strike zone, plate discipline comes into play there especially in that situation. Eloy is considered "day to day" X-rays were negative. We'll see if the Sox sit him for 3-4 days then decide to play shorthanded before placing him on the IL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Welp, Sox back on life support. This 1-5 stretch coupled with Cleveland continuing to play good baseball has just about sealed the Sox fate. Fire everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or getting thrown out at home which we also are great at.2nd base is considered scoring position. Can't score on a single from 2nd base and keep getting thrown out at home.
