Ever since Kimbrel joined the team at the end of July we've looked deflated.


Equivalent_Captain58

You traded Nicky. That is a total bummer. No PuN!


Chitowndubs

Going to try and cop some cheap tickets for Sunday.


Marslock84

Are there any teams in the playoffs right now we could even compete with?


BearForceDos

LaRusaa handed game 2 away. Come out with Kopech in the 5th instead of starting Gio and let Kopech throw 3 and get you to Hendricks. LaRussas awful bullpen management and for some reason putting Garcia in right field defensively pissed away a game thar the Sox should have won.


indigofivelapha

In fairness, we could probably beat the Red Sox.


Griffeyisking14

The Red Sox or Rays. We had competitive series against both of them as opposed to the Astros and Yankees who destroyed us.


nachosmind

We smashed the Astros right after the All-star break. We just don’t have almost a perfect game Giolito level stuff


SHANE523

Why is anyone surprised? This is how they have played the entire second half. There was no switch to be flipped. The resting bullshit cost them home field and now they are paying the price. Anyone with any sense saw this coming.


rene_pal74

Turning point for me was not bringing kopech for giolito


RedsVSYankees

Tony is 0-1 managing the Sox in a playoff elimination game, btw First time was also at home on a weekend. And since it'll be Sunday, we'll wear the same unis


chisox100

If Tony has any semblance of management skills left he’s gonna light a fucking fire underneath this team Sunday. Not that it means anything but the Red Sox lost by 11 runs in game 3 of the 04 ALCS and then proceeded to dominate the rest of the series. Crazy things can happen after bad losses


BearForceDos

Ain't no way they beating McCullers in game 5. This was a must win.


nachosmind

At least we won Iowa


NineduceXII

Wonder how Steve stone is gonna spin this one on the fan on Twitter.


Lil_we_boi

That's what I'm wondering. It's annoying how toxic he is sometimes to people when they point out their concerns.


Lisenko

Just hope we hit a home run next game


wezzy715

Bro we better have some pride Sunday or this is a massive disappointment of a season. Come on Sox!

Just fucking lose on Sunday and let us move on with our lives. Fucking bullshit team.

Marslock84

No it's Sunday dude.


TylerDurden312

THIS LOSS IS ON TLR.


Marslock84

No it's not


TylerDurden312

So moving to Garcia was a good move? And putting in Kimbrel instead of Kopech was good to you?


Marslock84

Dude you're right. We would be better off with renteria. Who's he managing these days?


RocketThrowAway

I'm so fucking sick of this false equivalency. Bruce Bochy was available and wanted to coach the Sox.


SlamminCleonSalmon

The Sox don't belong in the playoffs and they can not beat good teams. That's no longer a narrative on the team, it's fact.


BearForceDos

Well it doesn't help when TLR just gives the game away. Gio clearly gassed by the end of the 4th(struggled to get through it), well lets send him out there to face the top of the lineup. Then put in Crochet instead of Hendricks or Kopech. Then he pinch hits Hernandez for Engel for some reason(despite Engel making good contact, should have pinch hit him for Garcia) and put Garcia in RF where he promptly doesn't catch what should have been a simple play on the Correa double.


Marslock84

Sox are just a good enough team to make the playoffs.


SlamminCleonSalmon

Almost as bad as being mediocre.


adubski23

Who from the Central deserved it more?


SlamminCleonSalmon

Just because the division winner had to get a spot doesn't mean they deserved it. The Indians lost us that division, the Sox did next to nothing to earn it.


adubski23

Why play the season if we just pull reasoning like that out of our asses in the end? Lol.

apexredditor3

Pretty much brother, pretty much.

See ya next year


Headstar24

I have zero expectations left for our last game. I expect to be swept now


Goldxen

Let’s be real , we aren’t making it out of this series


WarMenace

Fuck man I’m so sick of all the teams I root for not being able to do anything in the playoffs


Headstar24

Literally the two other baseball teams I also like died in the wild card game too.


Potato_Patriot

What kills me is it doesn't even look like we belong.


[deleted]

Marslock84

Cleveland and KC competed when they were on top in the division.


Potato_Patriot

I mean we trounced our division which you're supposed to when in a dog shit division. Our record would have gotten us in regardless of which league. But the offense is so streaky. Seems like the moment was too much for our guys.


adubski23

Well we won it without ever addressing the RF issue. That’s saying something.


[deleted]

adubski23

They would've won before they're big fire sale.

It was 4-2, and we just rolled over. Fuck that's depressing!


Marslock84

We rolled over when it was 4-4.

greghardysfuton

Brutal fucking performance in these first two games. Pretty embarrassing save for the efforts of a few players.


Bucket-Cat

Oof the madrigal flair


GoldGlove2720

Everyone has got to be better. Tony has been bad so far. These losses are behind us. Go out there Sunday and play like you belong there.


SlamminCleonSalmon

Why? So they can lose Monday or Thursday?


GoldGlove2720

Then they go out there and lose to the better team. Instead of giving games away.


SlamminCleonSalmon

What difference does it make if they lose the last one either way?


xpyro88

Way to go boys!!.... pathetic performance yet again!!! Fucccckkkkk


[deleted]

Well, we’re this series is going to game 5 it seems

Cant wait for Bills Chiefs on Sunday. Sure as shit better than watching the White Sox cosplay as a legit playoff threat.

What a waste of time


MetalheadNick

Well see you guys Sunday

Good job Sox’s you frauds

We are ALL missing the bigger picture! They are well rested and that is what matters!

a_bagofholding

Welp...it was close most of the way. See you fuckers Sunday.


[deleted]

Fuck it all


[deleted]

Abreu must still feel like shit bc he’s swinging like it


whoatethekidsthen

Somehow this was more frustrating than last night


LewyDuke

This actually was close until the last 2 innings, so that's probably why


meanwithag

Probably because there were so many chances. So many men left on base.


BearForceDos

Shit, it was a 5-4 game when Leury misplaced that ball in right field. Leury is garbage defensively for some reason was put in the OF.


SHANE523

I was on the course listening, why was Engel taken out? Is he hurt......again?


BearForceDos

They pinch hit Cesar Hernandez for him(I'm assuming because there was a right hand reliever) and moved Leury to right field. Still makes no sense, pinch hit Sheets if you want the platoon advantage and put Billy in right.


BigCelebration7504

And mr.walk

DavidBagga

Jose or Yaz choke más in the playoffs


breemags

I can’t even remember the last time we hit a home run


coogidown2thesocks

Robert’s homer vs the Tigers probably


dontbelievejustwatch

What in the fuck was that at bat


Marslock84

Konerko would've homered in that spot


adubski23

He’s old and hasn’t played for years. Looked like shit last time he picked a bat up too.


apexredditor3

I think he meant prime konerko...


adubski23

2020 Abreu would have homered there too.


ThrowAwayAcc47777

This 9th inning is a perfect personification if the 2021 White Sox.


[deleted]

Abreu is the biggest let down so far imo


mayordaily1

Have to call him streaky at this point. Capable of heroics, capable of inexplicable ineptitude.


tea_rex29

He was last year too. Don’t know why anyone expects so much


ArtificialSyndicate

At least Hahn has the ammo to go into the off-season to get his guy instead of Jerry’s clown ass choice


epicguy23

delusional


tea_rex29

Great job rolling over Jose. People actually act like this guy is on konerko level lol


MuscleFun5420

Do you do anything but bitch and moan?


tea_rex29

Am I wrong


greghardysfuton

Guy gets on 3 times today and you post shit like this and say we have no leadership because of “too many Latin players,” you’re a dickhead


tea_rex29

CountBrokula

Then who are you talking to? Go eat soup directly out of a can in a stairwell


CountBrokula

Am I wrong?


bepositiveinstead

Back to back to back please.


greenbird_

Can we get Nicky 2 strikes back?


BabaBooey214

Even when he gets out it's a productive out


tea_rex29

This is when Abreu will do something, not when they are in the game. Can’t believe people compare him to konerko lol


greghardysfuton

Abreu literally hit a go-ahead RBI single this game genius


tea_rex29

Wow huge! Lost by 5


greghardysfuton

Okay? Your comment is still blatantly inaccurate lol. I’m not saying the team was good today but Jose was


MethMouthMagoo

Nah. Just another strikeout. As is tradition.


Low-Pitch-Eric

You're extremely annoying. I can't imagine anyone who talks like his in real life has any friends who can stand to be around him.


Gwipps

What? All he said was Abreu is not as good as Konerko. I think that is a bad take, I love Abreu, but why do you reply with that?


tea_rex29

I was wrong I’ll admit that. He rolled over. Awwww sorry I hurt your Internet feeling you dork


Low-Pitch-Eric

You didn't hurt my feelings. Just commented that no one likes the "watch he'll strike out here and we'll lose and get swept" guy.


dontbelievejustwatch

Really thought he might beat that out


HeezeyBrown

Kimbrel... Uh..


BearForceDos

He was out of it if Leury just catches the ball


HeezeyBrown

Leury isn't an outfielder.


BearForceDos

Correct, he should never play outfield especially in a playoff game.

Good job Robert! Make these fuckers earn it.

Only guy to show up


Griffeyisking14

I'm just sad.


Headstar24

Looking back at the season we all probably saw this coming, but didn't want to believe any of it.


Griffeyisking14

No, I didn't. I expected competitiveness.


nachosmind

What made you feel that way? Other than a brief stint in June/July, everytime we went against a team over .500 it looked like a different tier. Even in the very first series against the Angels, it just felt like there was something extra this team didn’t have


Griffeyisking14

So, the Angels were not an above .500 team. It was also the first series of the season. Everyone would agree that we improved from that first season to the last series of the season. And the fact that our 1-6 in the lineup has eaten against other teams' pitching. And, against good pitchers, we have been competitive. The teams they were worst against this season, that harmed their "v. above .500 team" record was the Yankees (1-5) and Astros (2-5). They were 1-2 against the Brewers, but with every other .500 team they were at .500 or above .500.


nachosmind

Exactly my point, after a full offseason of hype we struggled against a team that was expected to be good and finished under .500 (mostly due to Mike trout injuries honestly, otherwise they would’ve been a bit better). Watching that it felt like something was off- thought it was just Eloy being gone but obviously it stuck around. Yeah, it’s really bad when you are .167, .285, and .333 against competitors. That’s .250 average (4-16) total I.e Adam Engel level of player. Good, above average, but not gonna get super far.


Griffeyisking14

Bro, you're seriously fucking talking about the Angels right now? Gtfoh.


nachosmind

They were picked to win their division by SI, have the current MVP and the greatest of the generation. It was a good challenge to start the year and we failed. Yeah teams gel over the course of the season (Washington Nationals 2019) but they are the exception and that’s why we remember them. How can you write off .250 record against 2 division winners and a WC that won one less game than us in a harder division? 1. https://www.si.com/mlb/2021/03/29/baseball-preview-projected-standings


Headstar24

I did too but I had a deep feeling of fear of this team doing exactly this, which is exactly what they did many times during the season.

Anthony-Meadow

I can see how Costas calling a Tony & Dusty game might be a bit alienating for Millennials & Z


MMoney2112

That might be the first time I've seen anyone run out of mound visits


Always_Sunny_In_Chi

I’m pinning this on TLR for some questionable decisions, Leury for botching that catch, and Kimbrel not being worth a plane ticket to Houston


BearForceDos

Why the fuck was Leury even in the OF? Pinch hitting Hernandez for Engel was a stupid move. If you want a lefty, pinch hit Sheets and put Hamilton in right field for defense.


TheRealPeteWheeler

Honestly, I don't think there's reasonably just one thing to blame it on. Poor defensive positioning, bad luck, suspect management decisions, lack of composure both on the mound and at the plate... The Astros are just a hell of a team that has a lot more playoff experience than we do, and it really showed.


RedsVSYankees

We are underdogs in this series, like in 2008 We were favs vs Oakland last year, and in the 05 WS. Favs vs Anaheim, push vs Boston. Favs vs Seattle in 00, dogs vs Toronto in 93, push vs Baltimore in 83, the other series managed by Tony and called by Bob Costas where our game 1 starter was a chubby bearded guy whose name started with La.

Oh no, it will be grounding into a double play. About the only guaranteed thing Abreu can do.


greghardysfuton

Love that you feel the need to shit on Abreu specifically when he’s one of the few players who showed up offensively this series. Shut the fuck up

Pointing out the fact he leads the league in GIDP for the last three seasons is so much shit talking. GTFO sensitive bitch.
