GT 5/29: White Sox (21-25) vs. Astros (30-18)

[RockRaines]

IT'S EVERY YEAR.

 

Is it just a bad team every year?

At this point Why are we not trying to fire the hitting coach at least. Everyone outside of Avi and Beckham are underperforming.

[Buehrle>Wood]

That seems like a big stretch stone

[RockRaines]

You could also quote greg.

 

 

The Astros of course have the best bullpen in the NL, if not all of MLB.

The Royals are the best pen in baseball IMO. They also may be the best defensive team or one of the best.

Coaches can't make up for the poor talent on the field no matter how good they are.

 

The GM put great talent on the field and there's no way anyone can question the job this GM did putting this team together.

 

How is that unclear to you?

I'm gonna say that they know this team sucks right now. You don't field this lineup and think you can be competitive with some fantastic teams like the Royals and Tigers.

I don't agree it's poor talent. I think there is enough on this roster to compete. I believed in March and still do that this lineup is two guys away from being a real contender. They are underperforming

[Buehrle>Wood]

Don't like rodon out again

Statistically...would have to look more closely at the numbers.

 

Neshek destroys us whether he's on the Twins...or the Astros.

 

 

 

Is Daniel Webb actually the best option in the bullpen right now? That's scary. I realize they just played a DH, but...

They need a catcher and 3rd baseman. Conor doesn't hit well enough to deal with his horrible defense.

Dude, reread.

You know I can't read.

time to slam a beer.

Rodon's going to win a lot of games if he pitches with this type of command. He didn't even have his best slider tonight, but could have easily given up no runs tonight. Win or lose, it's a good night for the Sox with him pitching like this.

[caulfield12]

Astros' announcers questioning Rodon being out there still but acknowledge there was a DH yesterday.

 

Guess they wanted Conger to hit RH.

Center and left field I firmly believe are ok regardless of their numbers, everyone knows how much I love Avi. SS, 3B, C are must haves. 2B is up in the air but that should be your 9 hitter.

 

I really had faith in Soto.

 

 

Great outing Carlos other than your one bad play at first. How can you not love this guy. I don't remember a team that rolled out three top starters that were all lefties but we are about to.

I'm with ya, give me a min. Let's go tandem.

I'm ready

[chitownsportsfan]

Had a really long ass day at work, was f***ing 82 and humid in Seattle today and my shop was hot as balls (not used to heat anymore at all living here) and come home to this s***. At least I got about 8 good beers and some company later on. Sox aren't doing it for me. Have a good one guys, maybe this ship will turn around, probably f***ing not.

[Feeky Magee]

It worked out but not exactly sure why Webb was out there in a 1-run game. He hasn't been good since 2013.

[Buehrle>Wood]

Gordon!

[fathom]

That's for his idol...first pitch homer off of Qualls!

[Dick Allen]

That's my guy.

Noesi was the other option?

[fathom]

That's my guy.

 

He's playing great this year
