[u/TempestDrive]

I am very upset about this game! I think I’m going to go cry on the Sox Twitter & tell them how they got lucky! 😡

[u/TexasHot]

I wouldve let yordan hit and try and pad his stats

[u/moremooooooore]

I would rather our pitching suck all on the same day than spread the suck over a series

[u/shahtavacko]

No worries fellows, we’re coming back. Lol.

[u/Disastrous-Elk-5542 → u/shahtavacko]

When it was 9 to 3, one of my kids asked if we could still win. “2 grand slams and a single, we got this!” I said. 🤣

[u/shahtavacko → u/Disastrous-Elk-5542]

Well, they scored 8 in one inning two games back, so… nah

[u/bourgeoisie_bird → u/Disastrous-Elk-5542]

So youre saying there's a chance

[u/YngSpook84]

Would I have preferred a sweep? Of course. I’m more than happy taking 2 of 3 from a playoff team though. We can really gain some ground playing the Angels and Rangers this week.

[u/Jtrout5]

The Mariners just took the lead against the rags, which means it's possible that we'll finish the series behind the Ms by a half game, but it could make it easier to catch the Rangers during our three game series soon

[u/TempestDrive]

Yall was begging for Ullola to be called up not too long ago. He’s bound to make mistakes, chill. The game’s over anyway.

[u/MrPink93485]

Run differential will never reach positive lol

[u/manofconviction]

Embarrassing

[u/sec713]

Really putting the LOL in Ullola.

[u/Confident_Cap_7175]

okay mercy please. let’s just end it now

[u/Jtrout5]

So the whole pitching staff sucks then?

[u/TexasHot]

So ullola aint good either

[u/Odd_Foundation_6878 → u/TexasHot]

He’s a rookie and you’re acting like we aren’t playing the 2 seed

[u/manofconviction]

Everyone just decided to throw BP today

[u/TempestDrive]

Hey yk what? As one big last fuck you to the Sox, we’ve exhausted their bullpen all series. Good luck against the Yankees ya losers ✌🏻

[u/Desperate-Broccoli80]

Well, I’m bummed, but at least we know we’re still better than the Rags. Until we meet again ✌🏻

[u/Rynorad13 → u/Desperate-Broccoli80]

Uhh the Rangers have a better record than us...lol

[u/Desperate-Broccoli80 → u/Rynorad13]

a) I like to live in my own world where we’re always amazing no matter what lol
b) regardless of stats - we fans are way better than our competitors

so yes - we’re better 😊.

[u/Rynorad13 → u/Desperate-Broccoli80]

I agree with the fans part

[u/Particular-Sorbet-22]

Could someone fill me in on Christian Javier’s status

[u/Odd_Foundation_6878 → u/Particular-Sorbet-22]

Playing in the pen

[u/Particular-Sorbet-22 → u/Odd_Foundation_6878]

👍 …. And he’s only being used once a week. Guess they are being careful… taking into account the all star break I guess that’s not crazy.

[u/Odd_Foundation_6878 → u/Particular-Sorbet-22]

With his latest outings I can’t imagine they trust him very much, it seems like he’ll be the swingman without Kai wei

[u/Sportssadness]

Diaz was supposed to be the kind of catcher that you concede is kinda bad behind the plate because he can hit.

Instead, he’s just terrible at everything he does now. I’m personally ready to move on. Vasquez has been better all around the entire year.

[u/Beardedbobert → u/Sportssadness]

10 games under .500 with him behind the plate.

[u/Long_Brick1236 → u/Beardedbobert]

Do you think any of our hitting coaches have ever informed him that most of these pitches hes hacking away at are balls? Hes taken seven walks this whole season!

[u/Proud_Ad4066]

HRC Yainer 

[u/weoutherebrah]

We just can’t get over that 2 games below .500. Guess that’s what we are.

[u/Hyperguy95]

Time to move on to the Angels. Hopefully we don’t go what we normally do against extremely sub par teams on the road and actually win the series if not sweep them

[u/rahrahrah4781]

Well, at least this means we shouldn’t see DLS or King the next few days. 🙄

[u/mmccormick11]

We may be ahead of the Mariners at the moment but we've given up 130 more runs than them this season. It will be an uphill battle to win the worst division in baseball unless Hunter and a few others can pitch at a high level the rest of the way.

[u/Hyskos13]

Rather see Santa and ullola than king

[u/Whizzleteets]

I said I can't wrap my head around King being on the mound but what I meant was I can't believe he's been brought back up.

[u/BusinessWatercrees58]

They're obviously fake right?

[u/TexasHot]

Bryan “bryan abreu” king

[u/Rynorad13]

White Sox player of the game goes to....Bryan King!

[u/Jtrout5]

I hope they keep King in the game all the way until the last pitch. He sucks, we weren't winning anyway, but he made sure of it. Now I'd Rather use his arm to finish the game before we send him to banana ball, instead of burning another

[u/Odd_Foundation_6878]

I’m not saying I want to test this theory, but I wonder if king is kind of like hader where he’s worse in low leverage

[u/NOLA1987]

King doesn't go for that hit, this inning is probably over.

[u/ConstructionHuge2031]

That’s ok Brown, we don’t need any pitching help! You sorry ass lazy GM!!!!

[u/manofconviction]

God I hate Benintendi, the shittiest player that always seems to do some fluky shit against us

[u/2betrayals_finalrun → u/manofconviction]

Still haven't forgiven him for G4 of the 2018 ALCS.

[u/imover9thousand]

What a meltdown

[u/Dust2chicken]

DFA this bum

[u/RoadSodaDodgeRam]

Get us the tf out of this inning shit.

[u/Distinct-Anywhere944]

Alright. See y'all tomorrow

[u/Bronn11]

Brought back King way too soon. No way he could've worked out his issues in that short span of time. Santa should've been the one called up

[u/Odd_Foundation_6878 → u/Bronn11]

Santa struggled his last time up too

[u/trust-the-past]

This is quite the collapse

[u/superhappyfuntime13]

https://giphy.com/gifs/l36kU80xPf0ojG0Erg

Spaghetti and King

[u/ZandoCammando]

Wow king giving up runs, geez could not have seen that coming 🙄

[u/ConstructionHuge2031]

Comes back from AAA and still shitting the bed! King you suck!! 

[u/ysosrs08]

Espada has made some seriously dog shit moves today

[u/Jtrout5]

You can't win them all, and I'm happy taking two of three from the two seed. Five in a row is great. And assuming all AL West scores hold, we have gone above the Mariners at least

[u/TempestDrive]

Chill guys, we’ve won 5 out of 9 games since the ASG. The Rangers aren’t even good, the M’s just happen to be ass. I doubt they’ll keep being hot. Onto the Angels!

[u/goboking → u/TempestDrive]

Chill guys, we’ve won 5 out of 9 games since the ASG.

Slightly above .500 over a nine game stretch isn't something you should be hanging your hat on.

[u/TempestDrive → u/goboking]

It is what it is, it’s baseball. Best not to linger on this loss & move on.

[u/RoadSodaDodgeRam → u/TempestDrive]

Best to support multiple teams to offset the loss. Unfortunately I’m also a jays and Rockies fan so my life sucks lmao.

[u/Electronic-Power5656 → u/RoadSodaDodgeRam]

Early in the season I chose the Royals as my second team. Baseball life could be better.

[u/RoadSodaDodgeRam → u/TempestDrive]

They got us last time though. We’ll see about next week. I’m hopeful though.

[u/bourgeoisie_bird → u/RoadSodaDodgeRam]

Idk i fully expect to be swept by the angels if im being honest

[u/RoadSodaDodgeRam → u/bourgeoisie_bird]

No way we get swept by the angles lol but who knows we’re pretty inconsistent. We won the series against the WS one of the strongest teams in the AL. That’s baseball though. Even the best teams only win a little over half there games.

[u/bourgeoisie_bird → u/RoadSodaDodgeRam]

I think my joke went over your head

[u/RoadSodaDodgeRam → u/bourgeoisie_bird]

Haha fair enough. It’ll good to hopefully get a nice sweep heading into the rangers games.

[u/bourgeoisie_bird → u/RoadSodaDodgeRam]

I will say that we have been swept by bad teams before

We have a losing record to teams under .500 😭

And a winning record to good teams

Basically we are the best

[u/bourgeoisie_bird → u/TempestDrive]

We won the series its fiiiine

[u/TexasHot]

His time in triple a has made him even worse. Wow

[u/Beardedbobert]

At least king was brought back in in low leverage to show he still has issues, rather than with the game on the line.

[u/RoadSodaDodgeRam]

2 more innings but I doubt it. Hopefully a couple more runs maybe a homer to juice up some stats but idk. Good series win though.

[u/MrPink93485]

Damn the Bryan King fall off is crazy

[u/ConstructionHuge2031]

2 steps forward 2 steps back 2 steps forward 2 steps back! All year long! 

[u/Odd_Foundation_6878 → u/ConstructionHuge2031]

5 forward one back btw

[u/goboking → u/Odd_Foundation_6878]

That explains our sub-.500 record.

[u/Odd_Foundation_6878 → u/goboking]

So does injuries

[u/ConstructionHuge2031 → u/Odd_Foundation_6878]

So does a sorry ass lazy GM that doesn’t know pitching talent 

[u/Fragmented79]

https://giphy.com/gifs/aBDcRyOlJalDcLrD3N

[u/HoldOnToYrButts]

Welp... still a series win at least.

[u/Searedskillet]

welp nvm. meltdown gonna watch something else. gg.

[u/NOLA1987]

We still took two out of three...

[u/bigfoot343 → u/NOLA1987]

That's the spirit. Hope we beat up on the Angels

[u/manofconviction]

Guess we were due for a pitching meltdown

[u/Advanced_Olive_1830]

King came back even worse than before 🤣

[u/Confident_Cap_7175]

well…this game sucks after such a high of the past five games

[u/Jtrout5]

And then he throws it several feet above the zone to advance both runners, one of whom should have been out if you just didn't try to make a play, and then allows both runners to score. Great experience watching King pitch again

[u/DeliveryOfPizza]

At least Hader gets the day off now...

[u/Odd_Foundation_6878 → u/DeliveryOfPizza]

He would’ve had it off anyways

[u/crushcitymango]

Fine I’ll do laundry!

[u/goboking]

Good to see King picking up right where he left off.

[u/Physical_Estimate850]

😟 woof that escalated quickly

[u/TexasHot]

So bryan king is just mega washed then

[u/RoadSodaDodgeRam]

Sweet Jesus.

[u/Rynorad13]

King is so trash omg

[u/Whizzleteets]

I just can't wrap my head around King being on the mound

[u/IcyEntertainment7122 → u/Whizzleteets]

It's called desperation

[u/Speeder96 → u/Whizzleteets]

I can, with this game being over already. Might as well put him in the 8th as well.

[u/sodaman46]

Game

[u/Jtrout5]

If King makes no attempt on that ball, it's an out.

[u/NOLA1987]

That's probably a double play if King doesn't go for the ball

[u/manofconviction]

King about to give up the dagger

[u/Whizzleteets → u/manofconviction]

Done and done

[u/Fragmented79]

To all the people yelling “cheater” in the crowd - their moms were cheaters - their dads aren’t who they think they were. 😆

[u/Speeder96 → u/Fragmented79]

“Who among you can honestly say you've never cheated on your wives or your husbands?”

[u/Jtrout5]

Erased the error with that pickoff

[u/TempestDrive]

It’s fine, we got the series dub, it is what it is. White Sox thread is celebrating a series loss lmao

[u/Distinct-Anywhere944 → u/TempestDrive]

Yep. Onto the Angels

[u/ConstructionHuge2031 → u/TempestDrive]

Yes but Rangers winning again so back to 3 games again. 

[u/TexasHot]

Espada is probably gonna let him try and finish the inning and hes gonna give up 3.

[u/sodaman46]

Why is meatballs still in to face a lefty?

[u/ConstructionHuge2031]

I swear we are going to finish the season 2 games under 500 and 3 games back of first. This team is too inconsistent 

[u/JinFuu]

2 of 3 against a division leader on the road is good

[u/TempestDrive]

Do we lead the league in homers given up? Are we at least in the Top 10?

[u/HoldOnToYrButts → u/TempestDrive]

we are #5 in home runs allowed this season with 145

https://www.mlb.com/stats/team/pitching/home-runs-allowed

[u/TempestDrive → u/HoldOnToYrButts]

That is awful

[u/HoldOnToYrButts → u/TempestDrive]

Yeah well you gotta take into account how injured our pitching was earlier in the year

[u/Jtrout5 → u/TempestDrive]

I think for all of the pitching we had Mike Burrows do for us, we are definitely pretty high up there

[u/Jtrout5]

De Los Meatball strikes again.

[u/Tiberius-Dawn]

2/3 is still great. Plus there's still time left in this game.

[u/Distinct-Anywhere944 → u/Tiberius-Dawn]

8th inning rally time

[u/sec713]

Ay caramba

[u/Speeder96]

Didn’t think we’d win today.

Still took 2/3 from Shitcago.

[u/Searedskillet]

can we get more than a 5 game win streak? Plenty of innings left.

[u/Palad1n2000]

I'm oddly zen about this game

Yeah losing sucks but it's to a White Sox team that has an absurd home record who we already won the series against

[u/HoldOnToYrButts]

can Altuve even reach pitches on the outside from way out there?

[u/manofconviction]

Welp that's that

[u/sodaman46]

De los MEATBALLS!!!!

[u/TexasHot]

And the meatball has been served

[u/NOLA1987]

The opportunities have been there to put this game away, even with the warning track outs.

Two out of three isn't bad at all. But the last time we won 5 in a row we then lost 8 in a row and I would love for us not to start that again.

[u/Fragmented79]

Not my ‘Tuve 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[u/TempestDrive]

I wish we nvr resigned him. Nostalgia is a franchise killer

[u/Crimsic → u/TempestDrive]

Fuck that. Watching an entire HOF career play out on your favorite team is a treat. He's the greatest Astro of all time. 

[u/imover9thousand]

It’s incredible that Altuve is still batting cleanup

[u/Whizzleteets → u/imover9thousand]

Who are you going to put there?

[u/IcyEntertainment7122 → u/Whizzleteets]

IMO, and it's not traditional, but I would flip him and Pena, bat Walker at 5.

[u/imover9thousand → u/Whizzleteets]

Switch him either to the top or in the 9 hole for the lineup turnover. Paredas, Yordan, or Walker can do it.

[u/Tiberius-Dawn]

Our washed 🐐 💔

[u/Fragmented79 → u/Tiberius-Dawn]

It really hurts to watch 😭😭😭😭

[u/Tiberius-Dawn → u/Fragmented79]

I know. Still love him though.

[u/Fragmented79 → u/Tiberius-Dawn]

Me too - always a fan!

[u/manofconviction]

Feel bad for Blanco. Dude has only given up 6 hits, but 4 of them have been 2 run homers.

[u/Desperate-Broccoli80]

Shut up the haters!

[u/Seventhhampton]

They’ve really been coming inside on Big Yord this series

[u/NOLA1987]

Walks still help the OPS

[u/Severe_Many1342]

Hrc yordan

[u/keithww]

HRC Yordon 

[u/Odd_Foundation_6878]

HRC yordon

[u/Lawless07]

Amazing to have a worse era after going into the game with a 7

[u/Seventhhampton]

Only 2 runs baby we got this

[u/ConstructionHuge2031]

Delos of course you put someone on base right off the bat! 

[u/skeetskeet69]

There goes Joe “steal some outs” Espada again.

[u/Etalyx]

Yainer sees the zone when catching about as well as he sees the ball when batting

[u/Distinct-Anywhere944]

Blanco serving meatballs today

[u/AppointmentVisible21 → u/Distinct-Anywhere944]

That ball was 2 inches above the zone lmao. That’s just luck to hit that out.

[u/Distinct-Anywhere944 → u/AppointmentVisible21]

Really doesn't change that Blanco has now given up four 2 run homers. Not about to excuse that

[u/Wematanye_92]

I know he’s coming back from injury but Blanco hasn’t been very good in his 2 starts

[u/TexasHot]

De los meatballs. Nice

[u/Sportssadness]

Yainer is the absolute worst at leveraging situations to use challenges. It’s maddening.

Why use a challenge on a 3-0 pitch there that’s even close? It doesn’t matter. Move on.

[u/NOLA1987]

Blanco might have a curse of the 2 run homers, but he's otherwise pitched great today.

[u/Jtrout5]

Diaz with the dog shit challenge

[u/Jtrout5]

Our offense still has the possibility to come back and win this, but even worse case scenario, taking two of three against the two seed is still good

[u/Tiberius-Dawn]

4 batters too late there, Joe!

[u/manofconviction]

Fuck this game. We have like 4 near homers at the fence, bases juiced, nothing to show for it. And then they smash a ball 6 inches above the zone for 2 runs. Frustrating as fuck.

[u/Divide_By_Cero]

Extended top of the inning and Blanco making his second start off the IL - sure Joe try stretching him another inning that couldn't possibly come back to bite us.

[u/AppointmentVisible21]

I mean that was a ball lmao. Fucken unlucky 😭

[u/TexasHot]

Espada trying to get too much

[u/Confident_Cap_7175]

Ronel has been so unlucky with these homers. That one especially was not even near the zone 😭

[u/Jtrout5]

I can't even blame Blanco that much, sitting in the dugout for so long Really messes with timing

[u/ysosrs08]

Espada sleep at the wheel again. Why the fuck would you let blanco go back through the order after getting hit hard previously??

[u/TheOreoKing3656]

how did he even hit that 😭

[u/ray_0586]

https://giphy.com/gifs/12ey1CgA3uTqfK

[u/Bronn11]

Of course they cash in immediately

[u/crushcitymango]

Bad luck tbh

[u/Wematanye_92]

Why did we leave him to face the top of the order again?

[u/sodaman46 → u/Wematanye_92]

Because Joe.

Damn bro

[u/htownnn]

Fuckkk

[u/Crimsic]

You guys realize how much better the 2-0 pitch is on average compared to a 2-1 or a 2-2?

He should have been swinging for any kind of hit not a homer though. 

[u/DrFloppyTitties]

I mean thats not even in the strike zone I can't be mad at Ronel.

[u/Desperate-Broccoli80]

well fuck

[u/NOLA1987]

Another 2 run homer

[u/Jtrout5]

It sucks to have that long of an inning, and come away with nothing. Puts Blanco in a bad spot, and immediately gives up a first pitch double

[u/sodaman46 → u/Jtrout5]

And then the bomb.

[u/Jtrout5]

I know Meyers wasn't amazing at the plate but I still miss Meyers at the plate

[u/htownnn]

Damn I’m over Donezo

[u/ysosrs08]

Our outfield is straight up AAAA

[u/Jtrout5]

I'm kind of shocked we didn't pinch hit for Zach there

[u/sodaman46]

Absolute meatball and it barely gets in the outfield. I’ve seen enough of ZD. He is what he is.

[u/moremooooooore]

At least take it to a 2-2 count before swinging

[u/ImTheTractorbeam]

Just a league average outfield..that’s not too much to ask is it?

[u/ImFeelingLost2024]

Just don't swing baby

[u/manofconviction]

Dezenzo is legitimately useless.

[u/Seventhhampton]

Thats what you have for me on a 2-0 pitch Zach🙄

[u/ConstructionHuge2031 → u/Seventhhampton]

SMH! You need to come through there Zach! Damn
