Nats fan on board
>latos
oh boy how exciting
I'm ready for .500. Be gentle
What's the deal with latos?
who /suicidewatchSoxfan/ here
LET'S GO NATS
>tfw no qtpie Trea SS
Here we go
At least can we keep the trend of beating non division teams?
>sox will lose again
>usa will lose again
he's awful
You and me Baby.
Good. Ross is young but mature and has electric stuff.
>Both Revere and Michael Taylor in the lineup
That's not good at all. The white sox wl fall to .500 for the first time since mid April with a loss today.
Latos
>Spanish name
>white guy
>8 pitch walk
It's gonna be one of those days again
Soon.
It is good. I'm a Washington fan. They do have a habit of making shitty pitchers look like Kershaw.
>It's a Werth hits into a DP episode
Guys let's ask ourselves. Was the swift and huge collapse the freakish outlier, or was April the freakish outlier?
Is our group of boys actually an over .500 team?
Can they, with still 4 whopping months of baseball to go, be able to turn it around?
All this bad baseball lately has made me start thinking weird crazy thoughts. Here's one of many:
I miss Trayce Thompson.
...
April was the freakish outlier, but the collapse was also an outlier. Just not as big. The lineup is just too weak to compete.
I don't want to get into stupid anime/antianime bullshit, I just want to discuss WSB or the lack thereof in recent weeks, so here

Too early in the season to determine if the collapse is out of the ordinary, for this season anyway. Take the last couple years into consideration, then April is the outlier.
>are they an over .500 team
Gut says no, but I want to believe.
>can they turn it around
We'll see if Shields shits the bed tomorrow. If he does, then my guess is no.
>anime
Especially when Robin keeps stuffing the lineup with such prolific hitters and fielders like Jerry Sands, JB Shuck, Jimmy Rollins, Avisail Garcia, Dinner Navarro, Alex Avila, and worst of all statwise, Jose Abreu!
Abreu just needs to off himself already.
if abreu can figure it out I'll believe
but unfortunately I no longer believe that abreu can turn it around
so no, they suck
>Dinner
ha
It's a Ross walks everybody episode.
Here's a challenge:
Justify how Robin Ventura is not fired after a 5-25 run for a team that was leading the entire AL with a 12 over .500 record?
Bonus: Justify how Robin Ventura can go 2-10 against divisional opponents minus the twins and still not be fired.
Thanks abroo
HOLY SHIT THEY SCORED
I miss fleurs
>abroo
>hit
this pitcher is really really bad today
JOSAVIOR
Putting us on the board first again.
Is it that bad for him now? What are the exact stats?
Gordon Beckham and Tyler Flowers have a higher average and WRC+ than abroo
Think about that for a second
>abustu
>after a 5-25 run
wat
It's currently a 6-18 run.
Even if you add the wins vs the twins in, they still have a losing record vs the central
Fuck is wrong with his retarded team?
He hasn't lost the clubhouse yet and his players are still playing, shitshow aside. If he did, I'm fairly certain his ass would have been tossed already.
Personally, I'm on the fence on the Fire Ventura debate. Other than watching what's going on on the field, there are also things happening behind the scenes, and I can't comment on that stuff. If it happens, okay fine, but if it doesn't, it's not happening for a reason.
Managers like Robin don't deserve accurate numbers. Also isn't it 6-21 since the tigers swept us?
No, 6-18.
23-10 start, 6-18 since. 29-28.
Please tell me someone screencapped that Melky face
See
Flowers may have had no bat but at least he had pitch framing and game calling, both our new catchers have neither. Avila makes me particularly disgusted because he's caught several Cy Young winners and just looks like shit now.
Jesus Christ, can't even get to 30
>Strikeout
Ross, pls
Thanks for swinging at a bunch of balls
>blegh
Fuck this team if they only get one from all this. But then again, par for the course.
Just for you.
>JB suck is the DH
Kill robin and hahn and kenny
Kek
Every baseball game you watch for the rest of your life will be called by either F.P. Santangelo or Hawk Harrelson. You get to choose which. Whom do you choose?
I'd probably take Hawk over Santangelo but my god they're both atrocious.
>mfw white sox baseball
Bases loaded and 1 run
Oh
>shitvarro
Oh what I wouldn't give to get Fleurs back

Wow, feeling sympathetic tonight.
Beautiful, thanks man

Ends this inning.
Even though it happens literally every time, I still can't believe it.
Fuck you Latos
Fuck you
Go fucking kill yourself
How the fuck can it be physically possible that a fucking team can be so fucking bad?
Called it
Not like its hard to do

>fraz mashing more than we could ever expect so far
>can't take advantage and still at around .500
Sox have a 3 run lead
Team USA has a 3 goal lead
Who gives it up first?
...
Out of pure curiosity:
During the 6-18 stretch, we've scored in 52* innings. In the following half-inning, we've given back a run 19 times. Not nearly as bad as it feels.
*3 innings weren't counted since they signified the end of the game and thus had no chance to give runs back
Kudos for you for looking up such painful stats.
Also wow a 1-2-3 following inning.
Also try to expand it to the following 2-3 half innings.
>the following 2-3 half innings
I don't think that really qualifies as a giveback. At least, whenever I post about givebacks, it's only the immediate following half inning.
And out of that stretch, only 5-6 games come to mind that were losses that I considered to be fucking piss awful. Other than that, they really didn't lose by a large margin. They didn't check out, they just couldn't pull it off.
Fair enough

JB Suck is a goddamn joke. Also what a catch.
Damn, that catch.

It's like the moment they stop playing us, they fucking suck

FOR FUCK SAKE LATOS
FUCK
Latos is really bad
more news at 9
Game would be tied if it wasn't for Washington's gift run.
fuck
Pls tell me latos isn't going to stay in the rotation while migo is kicked out
Feel like further venting here but fuck the US vs Costa Rica match was in Soldier Field today?
Fuck I shoulda gone.
considering migo came out of the bullpen a couple days ago, I'm going to say that's exactly what will happen
USA USA USA USA USA USA USA
Dang
>migo in the bullpen while latos is spilling his spaghetti
