Other than Giolito, who has significant value (beyond Robert/Cease)? They can try to hold every single reliever other than Middleton and hope for a Hendriks rebound... but you're still short on the starting rotation by 2-3 guys if you include Lynn and Clevinger. There's just no way they get through 2024 with only one starting pitcher injury again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Mite Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) We just can’t get on a roll, corpseball again, they need to win at least 2 of the next 3 against LLA and then somehow sweep the A’s.

Jerry McNertney Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 The White Sox lost a one run game to a better team on the road. That's about the best result fans can hope for in this miserable year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeKreevich Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 And Tim Anderson is completely lost at the plate. Nice to see him try to hit the ball hard late in the game. If I didn't know better, I would think he is playing to not get traded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kids Can Play Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) Grifol made some managerial mistakes: You cannot use Lopez late in a tie game in the 9th, as he is not mentally tough enough. He is a head case in high leverage situations. You also cannot use Bummer in a high leverage bottom of the 9th tie game. He is too wild. He is also mentally weak. Yes he as wicked stuff, but he has no clue how to control his pitches. As soon as they brought bummer in, I knew the game was over. Having Grandal pinch hit for Seby in the 8th was a mistake. Yes Seby is horrible hitter, but so is Grandal. Now you are putting the much weaker catcher in defensively in a close game in the 9th. I don't know if Seby catches Bummer's wild pitch, but I do know this, he would have a much better shot at stopping it than Grandal, who is pitiful at digging balls out. As we have a seriously bad hitting team. They have the occasional game where they can score a lot of runs, but those are few and far between. The previous game against Boston where Robert hit 2 HR's, you had Robert and Benintendi go 5-8 to drive in all four runs. The rest of the lineup went 2-21. Well same S*it, different day. Robert goes 2-4 with a home run and the rest of the team goes 1-25. I don't care how great the pitching is, you cant win that way. Another wasted game from one of our starters. Cease pitched an awesome game all for naught. Edited June 27, 2023 by The Kids Can Play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the other slugs on the team not named Robert, who also had a bad game. You forgot to mention the other anemic hitters other than the one hit from Vaughn. 1-25 minus Robert: Vaughn - 1-2 Benintendi - 0-4 Anderson - 0-4 Jimenez - 0-4 Burger - 0-2 Frazier - 0-3 Andrus - 0-2 Zavala - 0-2 Grandal - 0-1 Sheets - 0-1 This is a team game offensively and collectively we have no resemblance of a productive offensive team.

Cease pitched an awesome game all for naught. Pedro doesn’t have talent to succeed here. The one area of poor judgment that you can’t fault him for because there are only 30 MLB managerial jobs is not doing what Joe Espada did and that is tell the White Sox thanks but wait for an opportunity with an actual chance to succeed. I think he is doing a good job learning what or who he can trust and do the best he can with the roster he has. Sounds like Hahn lied to him about a bunch of promises or representations of what he was stepping into and allowed to do, based on his comment to “Talk to Jerry” last week. I’d be pissed as well working for an asshat like Hahn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
