I’d like to see 3/4 at least so we can continue to bury the division.

It’s starting to feel that way. Looking at the offensive lineups OBP and OPS it’s hard to discern how they are scoring runs...

I’m skeptical the rotation can sustain this but I sure hope I’m wrong. It’s been awhile since I literally expected them to win every game. Shit, it’s odd if they are even behind at any point.

Granted, they have played some shit teams but that never stopped them in the past from losing such games

Thatll get fixed when they start running Quintana out there again.

sad but true. he brings that WSox laizzefair tradition with him. He doesnt give 100 percent and is lackadaisical the way he pitches. He's use to no consequences.

Well it also means they are not that bad. There is a lot of shit in the other two thirds of MLB the Cubs and Sox are not playing this year.

Watching white sox baseball this year I get the frustration now from sox fans. the lackadaisical play on the field and no sense of urgency and no fear of consequences comes straight from the top.

Add to that the last 3 years of watching Quintana play for the Cubs puts an exclamation point on it! I understand why he's such a bum.

Sox Brass reactions :

Moncada lazily throws a ball over Abreu's head with the slowest KC catcher running to first on a grounder : Sox brass reaction : it's good man. You're doing helluva job. Don't worry about it.

Eloy running into the wall for the 100th time thinking its some kind of hologram : Sox brass reaction : it's good man. You're doing helluva job. Don't worry about it.

Grandal allowing 2 runs in with another passed ball : Sox brass reaction : it's good man. You're doing helluva job. Don't worry about it.

Abreu coming to the Sox equipment manager asking 'What this first button on uniform for?' : Sox brass reaction : it's good man. You're doing helluva job. Don't worry about it.

It may turn out turning down the $200 million extension back in 18 was a mistake for him.

Hoerner gets on base and scores in his first game at leadoff. Hopefully that is a sign of things to come

The Cubs being able to use a DH has always been a problem since 2016.

I’ve said before the lineup is built like an American League team, and it is fun to watch them roll on their opponents like this.

Just hope the pitching holds up.

Gleyber got us Chapman( ring) Losing Eloy hurt, he's the same player as Schwarber and Soler though..if you can only keep one of the three. It's probably Schwarber.
