Giolito joins Bieber as the only two pitchers in baseball this year pathetic enough to give up a homerun on a mistake to a guy who hasn’t even hit quite as many career home runs as Lou Gehrig. Ugh!
He pitched fine until the very end in the 7th, when we was left out there too long. Let the record show, this was a response to the original comment I was responding to of, “he pitched poorly tonight.”
They should have had him steal. He would have advanced to third when the catcher threw it into center, and he would have scored when the center fielder threw it at the goose behind the RF bleachers.
I am kinda anti Red Bull, especially in bars, so a bit biased, but I’d suggest cutting back on that. Maybe Grandal can get a custom mask with James McCann in a mask painted on it.
This is the worst game White Sox have played as a team, all the way from hitting to baserunning to managing. Pitching was acceptable for a while until it wasn’t.
0-11 with RISP. Oof!!

Scoring two runs through 7 innings on 7 hits with 3 walks while their defense also has an incredible 5 errors is really hard to do.
Sox coming off a weekend sweep? First warm summer-feeling night at the park? Good vibes all around? How did we not see the fan murdering tonight from a mile away?!
Oh I get it. They’re gonna lose the first game of the year to Detroit and then win every every game against them like they did last year. Good plan, actually.
Pathetic giving up a homer to Cabrera

Maybe he should have figured how not to give up four runs to probably the worst team baseball

It looked like Eaton was trying to injury himself.
Seems like we’re going to see Gonzalez sooner than later.
Holy cow! Nicky Three Strikes!
I can’t be the only one who is sick of watching Leury ground the ball weakly back at the pitcher.
Ok, time to put this horrible team away. Let’s finally string something together to take advantage of all of these errors.
Or not.
What’s the record for most runs in a game without an RBI?
Elevate. The. Ball.
Grandal’s 50% ground ball rate is not exactly encouraging
The Sox have the highest GB% in baseball at 52.1% coming in, and it’s not close (2nd is 49.8% and 3rd drops to 46.5%).
Batted ball rates stabilize pretty quickly so there’s probably some regression due but that’s not a great sign.
Considering the Tiger’s defense and the Sox offense tonight it mighta been worth sending Hamilton home on that single
They should have had him steal. He would have advanced to third when the catcher threw it into center, and he would have scored when the center fielder threw it at the goose behind the RF bleachers.
Lucas seems super-hyphy tonight.
He has been like that in most of his starts this year. I guess he needs his crutch McCann.

Given a few more inning the Tigers might get to E-40
Tony left him out there too long. He used everything he had left in that Baddoo at bat.
He’s definitely lost his command.
I don’t think he needed to pitch 115 tonight, ruined a great start when Heuer was ready.
Who needs challenges and pitching changes when you can have ‘managerial experience’
Why is he still out there after the homer?
Dare I say asleep at the wheel?
Can’t understand that steal attempt…? You are down 2 runs dummies.
Tim was just bringing back balance to the universe after he walked for the second time tonight.
Sometimes TWTW > actually winning

Scoring two runs through 7 innings on 7 hits with 3 walks while their defense also has an incredible 5 errors is really hard to do.
Even more incredible that they had 7 hits and 2 walks through six innings with the same 5 errors.

Hall of Famer Connie Mack probably had a lot of games like this in the late 40s.
Billy batting? Ok…
Telling Vaughn to go get his fucking shine box.
At least it wasn’t a double play. Oh right, Garcia’s up next. Down 3, two guys on, a couple power bats on bench… hmmm. Weird decisions tonight.
Hamilton and Leury both batting for themselves down 3 with 2 guys on base and Vaughn/Collins on the bench is certainly a decision.
Beginning to get the feeling that TLR is pretty prone to omission bias
This game won’t be on display in the HOF for La Russa.
Should be added to his rap sheet.
I don’t know about HOF but this game definitely belongs in the museum, or a research facility
