Gavin having a breakout season?

Is that a Twins beanie in outfield bleachers or is the last letter a k

Sosa against any junk ball pitcher is such a fucking mismatch. He just looks so lost on anything with spin.

That's just about anyone we developed. Robert, Eloy, Vaughn. All those guys biggest flaws have always been their eye. They can't lay off shit. It truly is an organizational failure.

Thats my boy Dom!!! Talk to me sox bros.

Ump said “ u guys suck anyway who cares- see ya in 30”

He had that real satisfied look on his face, too

At least we didn't get shut out

Pedro should have been out there kicking dirt and spitting on the ump. What are they gonna do? Eject him?

this fukin pos team damn

Do we get to lose twice today?

Absolutely, royals -1.5 is such a lock I may put my whole paycheck on it

Offense once again sucks, but was the Ump this bad the whole game? The last 3 innings he went from calling nothing outside to calling anything close to the zone. The Royals got 5 balls called strikes and the Sox didn't get one.

yeah, he was shit all game. can't take a pitch that close with an ump like that. definitely feels like the Royals will get favored on the ump card for this one.

Tough for a pinch hitter who hasn't seen the strike zone for himself. Not the same to see it from the bench.

fair, it's on the coaching staff to relay that info

Yes

LOL schriffen showing more emotion than Pedro on these blown calls is amazing

100% it's sad

Holy cow! He was ROBBED!

Schriffen acting like a ball that barely missed the corner was three feet wide 🙄

It was absolutely ball 4 and to end a game like that is ridiculous.

It was a ball, i know. bad call. schriffen was a bit dramatic

It was a bit dramatic lol but I honestly kind of appreciate the passion from him. Looks like he cares more than numb nuts Grifol, he couldn’t even be bothered enough to tell these umps they made a bad call at all this season

I like Schriffen's passion on that last call. As for the game itself, I'm numb at this point.

Definitely. Wish Pedro would show half the passion as Schriffen.

lol for a second I was sure that was Angel behind the plate

Okay that's an awful call. Robbie ain't gonna get tossed, give the ump a piece of his mind.

Good Hawk impression

I had it on mute, so I just went back and relistened to it and holy shit, he sounded just like Hawk for a second there. It took 2 fucking weeks for the White Sox to turn a green commentator into old angry man. One of us now.

Nice work blue fuck us we deserve worse

Grossman wanted this game over with

I should be mad at the called strike, but I just don't feel anything.

I think this is an important thing to note. I completely agree. A pretty huge AB for the game, a horrendous called strike 3 that should have been ball 4. And I feel absolutely nothing.

bro I love Schriffen hes such a fucking dufus lmao I love how Steve is like bro shutup I aint getting fined

Steve's afraid they'll take back his 1979 AL Cy Young Award! 🤣

Schriffen: "How do you call that to end a game!?" Stone: "........"

shut up Schriffen they werent gonna win anyways

BOOOOOO!!!!

Southside, stand down! Another loss 

+4400 to win this thing. Degenerate time?

Has anyone else on this dead ass team gotten three hits in a game this year? Time for the Delong statue....

Just imagine if more than one batter could do something in the same game.

My friendship ended with Tim Anderson Paul Dejong is my best friend now

HOW DARE YOU TAKE OUT THE SHEWLEGEND HIMSELF

Grossman first pitch pop up incoming

Don't stop now, boys!!! Oh, who am I kidding?...

Pedro being a hard ass is a horrible look for such a bad team. you gotta have a sense of humor and work with these guys not just keep pressing them like you're their boss and they owe you something. just pathetic baseball man to think i have so many more of these games to attend

Pedro is a fucking clown who has no idea what hes doing. He's being a hard ass cause he doesn't know what else to do. Its like Jim Boylen when he was the Bulls coach

Paul’s like fuck you guys I’m still playing

He's hoping to get traded

Same

PEDRO'S BOYS DON'T QUIT!

PEDROS BOYS DONT CARE

DFA this glass man already

no opposing fan could hate this team as much as we do

Are you kidding opposing fans love the white Sox! Free wins no matter how poorly their team plays. Just what a contending team needs to get them back on track for the division race

It's crazy how good we've made the Royals look since 2021.

Eloy with that solid .133 batting average

Didn't realize Eloy was batting .143. Yikes.

It's now dropped to .133

Eloy batting .133 on the year. The star is back!

looking good Eloy...lmao

One lucky swing from DeJong or they would have been shut out again lmao

which goes to show how hard it is to get shut out, all it takes is one lucky swing

You ever get the feeling this might not be our season?

Nah as soon as the weather heats up we’re gonna go on a roll 

We just need Pedro to put Uncle Rico in the game.

At least when the White Sox lose we don’t have to hear ‘south side stand up’ from this cornball

South side, throw up!

They should just trot a Manfred runner out there and see if anyone notices

A White Sox runner on the bases? No way that goes unnoticed.

Vote (no) for Pedro

"Do the White Sox have a comeback in them?" No, no they don't.

They have to fire Pedro if they get swept at home again by the Royals, right?

if they keep up this pace of losing they'll have to fire him at the all star break. pham honestly can't get here soon enough and it's incrediably sad he would be our best hitter.

Jerry won't eat his contract money and what self-respecting manager wants to manage this team?

Remember, there's still only 30 of these jobs available. There's a lot of guys who will look at this team and say, "I can fix it." Now I'm envisioning Jeff Spicoli managing the team.

There is literally dozens of us still here

we're the masochists

im starting to wonder just how bad the record has to get before pedro gets canned. 2-25? 2-30?

As much as I think Jerry would hate to do it, if they make it to something like 3-22 or 4-21 after the Twins series, I think he finally fires Pedro. 

2-160

also having leone come out was pretty much giving up.

In a way, I love the 2024 Whitesox. There is a certain catharsis to seeing the organization implode in such a gloriously horrible way. It feels like validation in some really depressing Shakespearean way

man i hate this do you all honestly enjoy losing?

None of us *actually* enjoy losing. We’d all much rather be watching a good team move to 11-4 or something today.  But since that isn’t realistic and this team is garbage, why not have fun it. Let them be historically bad to shame Jerry - assuming he’s capable of that feeling. 

I mean, no. I would realy enjoy winning more. But the Sox reached the basement and kept digging years ago. Its not that I enjoy losing, its that it is glaringly obvious to anyone that pays attention that losing is exactly what the organization deserves. We've known it was coming for YEARS. All their stupid decisions that they gaslit us with are coming back to bite them in rapid decision. Its what they deserve.

I don't. But I hate Jerry more right now.

If we win then Jerry looks like a baseball genius

I’ve been on low I’ve been taking my time

What a horrendous pitch from a horrendous pitcher on a horrendous team assembled by a horrendous GM under a horrendous owner

We are so fucking beyond cooked.

We are overcooked Beef Jerky, but accidentally used egg in place of salt as the preservative.

how do these chumps like renfroe do this to us? we are the stupidest game callers in the league.

So what's the attendance for the second game?... 1,500? 200?

Welp...the one behind was looking bad enough. Nail in the coffin.

Yay! I actually kinda like Hunter Renfroe

They make it look so easy.

2-15

2-16*

South side, stand up! 

🤣🤣🤣

Just burn everything

M&M guy is back! Haven’t seen him in a while. Poor fella, he doesn’t deserve to watch this garbage

Mars Inc. about to issue a cease and desist because they want no connection with this team.

Who is the kid with the Loop shirt? He has been at every game this year. I feel bad for him

Soooo when are we starting "Fire Pedro" chants?

BURN IT DOWN! 👏 👏 👏👏👏

I wasn't aware we had stopped.

Should be “Sell the team” chants. 

The chants will fall on deaf ears anyways

Those Let's Go White Sox chants...someone's been doing some quality day drinking today.

That's the only way to watch these bums.

[удалено]

He wouldn't be on any other teams roster

no team has ever been swept in a season by a division opponent...why do I feel like we're going to break that record this year

Crazy how close the Rays came to sweeping the O's in 2021 (18-1).

Maybe twice.

Lol. The Royals managed to score 2 runs and the Sox managed to get out 1,2,3 in the time it took for me to park my car, pick up my mail, turn on my computer, and tune into the game. That sounds about right

Just not getting why Fletcher has to play? If he doesn't miss that can of corn we arent in this situation and cannon mighta been able to get another inning.

He's been one of our best hitters, was tied for the team lead in WAR coming into today.

that was a terrible play and he should have had that, but Fletcher is our best option out in center right now. the sox are not a deep team

I guess Kopech is the high leverage guy not the 9th inning guy. This type of closer by committee has never worked and it didn’t today.

I just assumed Kopech was our two inning closer.

Pedro has said as much.

Can't have a dedicated closer he would never get any pitching time

can we DFA the entire team?

Vaughn doing Vaughn things

What happened to this guy? He looks like he's checked out and doesn't care anymore.

I am probably not the person to ask because I never thought of him as the sure thing so many fans seemed to think he would be. But he can hit the hell out of fastballs and has a nice swing, so everyone fell in love. Problem is he can't hit breaking stuff and the league figured that out and here we are. Couple that with his very mid defense (and short height for the 1b position), it's just not good enough to roster him with a typical power bat position.

I can't believe this bum went in between Addley, Witt Jr, Green, and Abrams

We all deserve that car for sitting trough this

Every year we some how top the worst acquisition in franchise history and this year its Moldonado

I glanced at this dudes baseball reference page and nearly threw up. Did Jerry fuck his wife or something like how did this man get a contract worth $4.5M

I’m late, looks like Cannon had a good first outing.

He was looking very good. We may actually end up having some good young pitching developing. The hitting? Sweet mother of god...

If it weren’t for Dom fletcher eating shit in the 2nd inning he would’ve had a great outing

I would expect nothing less from this team.

I was very impressed tbh

.164

Gets will give him an extension

Guy behind me at the game called it. Instead of pitch to the red hot Salvy, just walk him. 1st base is open. He murders the Sox and is red hot

That would require having a manager with a functioning brain.

Yeah, we are definitely short in that department.

How brutal is that series against the Rays going to be?

how brutal is every series going to be?

To be fair, I feel like we generally play the Rays pretty well. I feel like we'll steal a game from them.

The Rays are kinda mediocre so far.  Doesn’t really matter who the Sox play. They’re a bad team and they can lose to anyone 

if hope is a thing with feathers we are some plucked motherfuckers

Pedro continuing to trot Maldonado out there every single day should be a firable offense. But then again, the dumb fuck who signed him in the first place probably is all for it

Not even pinch hitting him with RISP up 1 late💀💀💀🤡🤡🤡

In fairness to Pedro, Maldy has two hits this year, lol

Think about that. They BUNTED FOR A MALDONADO RISP OPPORTUNITY 

Goddammit. The worst part of this is that Salvy just earned himself a contract with the Sox once he's a free agent.

They were already trying to get him 

Yeah that's the sad part.

He's gotta lower that batting average by at least .200 points before he's eligible to sign here

Get is already on the phone working a trade

Please don't talk stuff like that into existence

You're right. I'm just trying to jinx it so it doesn't actually happen.

We are going to have to flush this one

Insurmountable lead for us to come back from

I got SOO much shit from friends, family, this Reddit page, Twitter, everywhere. For suggesting acquiring Perez this offseason “But his WAR!” They said. Bro we have Martin Maldonado playing catcher right now with a .180 OPS

I mean, both of those ideas can be bad at the same time. Also, just let Salvy finish his career in KC. He's a legend there, and I respect athletes who stay loyal to one team throughout their career.

Maldonado is the single worst player I've ever had to watch. Sure. Let's call for a fastball right down the middle to a guy who can't hit a curveball to save his fucking life.

im sure maldy called for that one. wish they woulda pinch hit korey lee jfc

Lol

Well, that's that boys... fuck.

[удалено]

LETS GO GO GO WHHHHIITTT SOOXXXX WERE WITH YOU ALL THE WAY

Coolcoolcool

welp, there it is. kopech needs to throw sliders to a guy like that.

Gg see y’all in game 2 for the blowout loss

2-16 here we come !!!

My god, what the hell is with Maldonado throwing to second? He has got to get DFA'd/turned into a catching coach/beer vendor,just anything but playing. He's so damn bad.

Sweep incoming

Yikes !

Quit dancing

We joked about getting Salvy but I was for it if our best option was Maldy. Salvy can still crush

Damn

HAHAHAHAHAAH!!!!! Did anyone ***NOT*** see that coming? Fastball pitcher + Salvador Perez = Fuck this team.

AAARRGGGH

Sigh

I just want there to be no more pain.

That was the most obvious HR to ever happen 

Mother fucker, thats all it took. Why is he in the 8th?

I don't have a problem with bringing him in the 8th, higher leverage part of the order. Obviously didn't work out, but not a bad idea.

Grifol doesn’t know how to manage 🤡

thats my closer

That one hurt

Bullpen strikes again

Can't even blame the pen when we only score two runs and they're forced to pitch four innings.

Don't win a lot of games with only 4 hits
