Autumn Dreamin Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 (edited) It's remarkably White Sox to win a game where your pitching gives up 16 hits, but not in any of the 8 times they've had 14+ K's. Cease gets his team record setting 8th straight ND. Edited July 8, 2023 by Autumn Dreamin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They absolutely would have been far better. Everyone would "index" back one spot in the order. Graveman in the 8th, Kelly in the 7th (when he's going well), Santos/Middleton in the 6th (7th when Kelly starts to suck). Bummer and Lopez only pitching in "losing" situations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Were there any boos when we were down 5-0? Nice comeback win. Robert and Burger, what can u say? When they make contact, boom.

Hahn’s acquisitions since were Colome, Shaw and Touki since the cancer announcement. This is what GMs in a multi-championship contention window do when their closer goes down for more than half a season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly don't blame them for that. And also like connor McKnight. He called some of the game on the radio and was thinking the same. The radio team has been better since the end of the dual radio/tv Harry and Jimmy broadcasts. Always muted Hawk and Jason and kept the radio team on back when Sox games were televised over the air. Len was a great addition, hope he remains in the radio after Benetti leaves over the next year or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exacerbated by lack of run production, of course. Yes the Sox pitching staff is poorly constructed for modern baseball. Starters going 5 1/3 innings max doesn't work with a team with OK (sometimes) but mostly ineffective bullpen. And the lineup is also poorly constructed for modern baseball. Yes Sox have 3-4 guys productive with the HR ball but everybody else is an abject failure at launch angle including Timmy. Why can't the Sox figure it out they have it all wrong. I hate openers but the way the Sox are constructed, they should be using 8-9 starters who go 2 innings max. Unless Sox can get starters who can go 7 like the old days, I'd prefer two innings apiece with 4-5 pitchers a game. Let Cease go 2 several times a week, ditto the other "openers." Do u all agree with me the Sox are ill equipped for modern MLB and that's a huge concern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
