I’d like a manager who actually holds these bums accountable. Cairo is to blame, and so is the rest of them aside from Abreu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sin city sox fan Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 This all could have been fixed if Ozzie was manager. We’d be playing out the season with a division title clinched and just waiting for the playoffs. Instead, we have our HOF caliber manager in the broadcast studio. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Hit Men Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 37 minutes ago, Lip Man 1 said: 11th game this year the Sox led in the 7th inning or later...and lost. Bummer, who has hardly played at all this year, has been directly responsible for blowing three of those games. This season is over...all that remains is to try and have a winning season. That's some small consolation from a "World Series contender" isn't it? ? 1. Hahn claimed the Sox were in a "Multi-Championship Window", and haven't even sniffed being one of the top 4-6 teams in October. 2. Assuming the Sox are finished, I want a 79 or less win season, so Hahn finishes with one 80 + win season in his career. Tony has four in ten seasons with the White Sox (1982, 1983, 1985, 2021), shouldn't be credited with a fifth even if they win four more games, since they were 63-65 under his tired old ass, and he's just mooching wins off of Miguel at this point because he doesn't have the decency to retire permanently.

chw42 Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I know some on this board think that we can fill 2B with a combo of Romy/Yolbert/Sosa next year but if this team is serious about competing in 2023 they need to think about bringing Andrus back to play 2B. He's a breath of fresh air compared to other the brain dead players we have on this team. He probably won't hit this well next year, but if you can get him on a short term Harrison-esque deal next year you do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambert and Bummer are at the head of the line to wear this one. They should be publicly humiliated. (I'm not serious about that part, are you guys who are asking for this serious?) Whole bullpen needs to be taken apart and put back together for '23. Lotta wasted $$ that could be paying for position players. Robert had his best hacks in a while, if anyone gives a hoot in a rain barrel. Jose drove that tying single, unlike his seeing eye ground balls of past weeks. I didn't realize he went 6 weeks between homers. Sorry for using a counting statistic. He's toast with this team if I had anything to do with it. More guilt on the FO than the dugout for '22. And JR for shoving Tony down their throat. These guys pay the bills and have the power to impose their will. Why do they always seem to do it in the wrong matters?

soxfaninfl Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Tough loss. A really well played game until the Diekman/Zavala implosion in the 11th. Cleveland just out-hustled, out worked, and out-managed the Sox. Myles Straw… Myles fricking Straw. If it wasn’t for Elvis, Jose, and Eloy the Sox would have had zero offense. Gamers. The Guardians just have more than we do. I hope this loss hurts every member of this team. Maybe it will be a good thing if we miss the playoffs. Something needs to motivate this team. Lastly, I hope Lambert recovers from this okay. He’s been decent this year but he should not have been out there tonight. It’s why you don’t rely on rookies in a pennant chase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimpton Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Losing this game is not what will cost the Sox this season it is all the losses to the Royals and Tigers and other basement teams and the fact that they only have a 35-38 record at Home. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeKreevich Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 (edited) Woke up feeling just as bad as when I went to bed. My random thoughts. Really random. Wish someone would tell Moncada and Eloy to get rid of the ridiculous shoes. Didn't like Cairo's decision to pitch Hendriks in the 9th. I feel for Jimmy Lambert. He looked distraught. The Sox need to do something about team speed. Moncada needs to see a shrink. The look of fear of failure shows on his face too often. Don't blame LaRussa, blame Hahn. I want Jose Abreu back next year! Being a sports fan is a humbling experience. This will be my epitaph. "You can't win them all. Even the Mighty White Sox lose one once and a while" Edited September 21, 2022 by MikeKreevich 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been competent in the pen this second half but he hasn’t been in a situation like that - handed a lead in a must win game - heck I doubt he’s been on the bench for that. That’s why he shouldn’t have been in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
