5/22 @ Chicago White Sox

[MJantomaso]

poopy feed there

[Station 13]

Clay, stop giving runners a head start with 3-2 count.

[jung]

Most of the Sox swinging at s*** pitches to earn K's. Naps contribution seems to be more getting beaten by the FB. Salty is ....well..... Salty.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Expanding the zone much blue??

[jung]

WMB barely held off swinging at that pitch about a foot outside. He just has no vision for pitches headed low an outside.

[SoxFanForsyth]

This bottom of the order is embarrassing

[MJantomaso]

Boy this lineup gets exposed against LHP

[jung]

Salty...My God!

[Station 13]

s***. That's terrible. 8Ks in 4 inning between a few guys.

[Youk Of The Nation]

On the bright side, if there were any cloaked alien intruders hiding in the vicinity of home plate, they're dead now. Go Earth!

[SoxFanForsyth]

That's just ridiculous. STOP PLAYING SALTY VS LHP!!!! Gosh that's frustrating.

 

I'm so sick of all of these strikeouts it's ridiculous.

[MJantomaso]

Drew looks sloppy

[jung]

Drew looks sloppy

 

Left side of our infield has had some odd games lately. WMB goes along great for a bunch of games and then throws in a multi-error clunker. Drew is having an off day in the field today...just can't seem to do anything right tonight.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Jung do you know how to use the quote function on here properly?

 

Side note: runs pls. Top 5 are our only hope

[Station 13]

Another twin killer.

[SoxFanForsyth]

I can't handle this anymore. I'm about to have to turn this off. This offense is an absolute joke. It's an embarrassment. This needs to be fixed right now. Call up Brentz. Lavarnway freaking play instead of rotting him on the bench. He's 25 years old and you're sitting him for a guy who cannot hit left handed pitching at all.

 

The tems DL management has been atrocious this year. We waste 2-3 roster slots a game it seems with nick nack injuries that are too bad to play through but not bad enough to DL someone. Victorino, drew, etc. stop playing with a short bench.

[TylerD]

Boy this lineup gets exposed against LHP

 

Agreed. The white Sox seem to be doing a number on our offense. Once again it will have to come down to pitching. Hopefully Clay can stay sharp.

[Station 13]

f*** you blue

[jung]

Jung do you know how to use the quote function on here properly?

I suspect there are two ways...maybe more....just plain add a quote or reply with quote are the two I can see. I use the "just quote" mostly. Just a habit I guess.

Somebody posted recently that Farrell seems to have done a great job with the pitching....no small accomplishment.

 

However, the way he handles the roster he has seems to take some getting used to. I have to admit I really struggle with it. I don't know how much input he has to the guys that are on the roster and on the DL. I would like to see more use of the DL in the sense that the Sox can make it retroactive. If they have already wasted a few days away, they can at least get a body up here to play during what would remain of a DL stint. They don't seem to do that much either. Have they even done it once this year? I don't think so.

[SoxFanForsyth]

This ump is horrible

[jung]

I get the feeling that a good many of our forum members have this feeling of impending doom on the horizon. I can't say that I blame them. It has been a very exciting and very very interesting season so far. However it has at the same time been a nervous as hell time. I just don't think we as Sox fans are used to winning games almost solely on the strength of our pitching for one thing. Team has got us on pins and needles inning after inning, game after game as we wait for the offense to do something. In the mean time we are left hoping our pitching remains staunch.

[bill29]

Are you serious? How was that a ball? Epic ump fail.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Seriously NESN??

[jung]

What the hell did NESN just do? Did they break away right in the middle of bottom of the inning?

[MJantomaso]

scary

[jung]

Come on NESN...talk about bush league..holy crap!

[MJantomaso]

is that really salty back there?

[bill29]

Salty with the gun down. Nice!
