Harry Chappas Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Grifol could be the dumbest most incompetent mfer I've even seen. For months guys couldn't be used on back to back nights but hey now let's over use guys. I like the thought today but why move to this strategy now?

Hard to win a game when you have as many batters over .700 OPS as under .600 in the lineup. Dylan Cease has a .875 OPS. While I don't think that is sustainable, I think there is a solid chance he would hit in the .600s, possibly .700, if he was a regular DH.

caulfield12 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) Who else was going to close the game, Shaw? Don't think Liam Hendriks ever imagined a moment like this when he signed with the Sox... Edited August 17, 2023 by caulfield12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Well Madrigal homers then Santos gives up the game winner. Six measley hits. Yeah our Sox blow chunks. No way we were gonna beat a .500ish team 2 nights in a row. and split the season series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard him on the SCORE this morning and even though he says he is a White Sox fan he is happy the Cubs are winning so that at least one Chicago baseball team might go to the postseason. Any White Sox fans here glad that the Cubs are winning? Not me!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many dumbass decisions is Grifol gonna make this season? I saw that too, but he only had 16 pitches over the five outs. They literally have Santos (1.8 fWAR), Bummer (1.1 fWAR) and six "guys" in the bullpen post trade deadline, and honestly not much more than that before the tanking trades. White Sox August 16 bullpen: CL Santos 1.8 SU Bummer 1.1 Guy Ramsey 0.2 Guy Shaw 0.1 Guy Honeywell 0.0 Guy Banks -0.1 Guy Cronin -0.2 Guy Lambert -0.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Fireworks Man Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 This is the "first class organization" Einhorn promised when he and Reinsdorf bought the franchise. This is the window for multiple championships this organization promised after forcing the fans to endure years of "tanking." Wherever you’re at, Jerry Reinsdorf, eat your heart out. I hope people realize what scum you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Does the following sum up the White Sox season well? White Sox bases loaded nobody out....their 3, 4 & 5 hitters strike out. Next batter in the ballgame is Nick Madrigal who hits a home run. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beast Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Hendriks would have saved that game. Shaw might have gotten the save tonight with how much Santos worked last night. This is the result I expected with how this team has underperformed all season. The ballgame was starting to look concerning for me when they didn’t get runs with the bases loaded and nobody out and Madrigal got the bomb. The quote from Robert about leaders in a Tribune article today is concerning. The Cubs seem to have it, how do the Sox get that from players? Who goes and more importantly who fits the bill? The season will come to and end and hopefully we will know more about the team’s and org’s future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
