Do these radio guys have any clue how awful TA is with RISP? Don’t have to be a rocket scientist to notice that TA always try to pull the ball with RISP and go to the right side with no one on. Should be the other way around. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lopez has been involved in three of those five times. Usual suspects responsible again today, atrocious bullpen, awful fielding and laughable situational fundamental hitting. TWICE a man on third, no out and they can't score! ? Main reason we lost was the failure in the 8 th inning to bring a runner from 3rd, and a very fast one at that, with no outs with three ground balls on the infield. Two of our weaknesses exposed here, impatient hitting not waiting for the right pitch to go the other way, and swinging at the first pitch, and bad roster construction with high ground ball rate and lack of fly ball hitters.

poppysox Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I wore a WS t-shirt under my Eloy jersey and topped it off with my WS watch. Seems like I didn't everything possible to avoid such a terrible ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be the other way around. His approach has been an absolute puzzle ever since the Covid year. Dude sold out for average at the expense of power in almost literally every situation except when you want to try and put the ball in play with RISP. It's another coaching failure. We need to get coaches in these guys' ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) Biggest gut punch to the fan base in terms of ANY possibility of competing in the lousy AL Central this entire season. That's now 100% gone. Tigers and Reds will be favored over the White Sox at this point. Just dreadful situational hitting/lack of fundamentals and overall execution. Just zero question that Colome was going to give up a crooked inning at that point. Edited May 5, 2023 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was so good, the KC GM would have hired him instead of hiring the TB Rays bench coach for their next manager. Good thing we have the genius Rick Hahn leading this organization...as he knows how to really pick em! Grifol also looks like a low energy, laid back manager. We need an ass kicking, high energy manager instead to maximize output from our talent. IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimpton Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I think this series sums up where the White Sox are at the moment. If all elements of the team play well, they are a .500 team, or even slightly better, if not they are a bad team. Unfortunately, the players on the current squad are not consistent enough to produce their best or even near their best on a regular basis. One or more element of fielding, batting or pitching seems to go missing in too many games. That was a winnable game last night but the bullpen let us down, again, and the hitting with RISP let us down, again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zisk Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I hope Pedro figures out defensive replacements and pinch runners must be used sparingly when your lineup already has 4 guys hitting under .200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have found another gear, even in pain if it's a close play at home. And you send him as coach knowing Moe, Larry, and Curly were up next in the order. He is not hurt. He has been dogging it because he hasn't hit well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
