I didn't see the post game interviews yesterday but it sounds like there was some general frustration expressed. Happy to hear that. Team needs to play with a little bit more emotion and focused energy. Hopefully that starts tonight and lasts longer than a day or two.

R U Kidding. Eaton with another lead off homer. 1-0.

 

[tigermud]

Lead off home run for eaton again second straight game 4th pitch this time instead of the second...what are they 4-22 when not scoring first? Or is it 23...24 I lost count

Lost 9 of last 13 at home.. If they lose tonight fire Beautiful Brad.. He is clueless on how to manage a team..

[tigermud]

The beard on laroach looks fake on TV

4-25...we'll se if they can finally be 5-25.

Thats incredible

I'm assuming that's by far the worst in the majors

 

[biggunsbob]

The team really needs Kinsler to get going..

 

[biggunsbob]

Miggy is amazing...

 

[manchild98]

Miggy gets us even. 1-1.

 

[manchild98]

Thats incredible

It has to be. It seems like an impossible statistic...especially since the team actually has and has had a wining record all year.

 

[manchild98]

VMart makes an out but it was an 11 pitch at bat.

 

[manchild98]

Abreu home run 2-1. 6th time this year Sanchez has given up multiple homers in a game. Given up 17 so far this year. Only Kyle Kendrick of the Rockies has allowed more.

 

[manchild98]

Miggy doubles again. White Sox gameday says he was laughing and saying something to Abreu as he was rounding first.

 

[tigermud]

Sanchez is some sorta gopher ball machine this year

 

[tigermud]

Victor scored from 1st

And that's all I'm going to say about that

 

[manchild98]

Victor scored from 1st

And that's all I'm going to say about that

He's not on a stretcher in the dugout is he???

 

[manchild98]

BTW Scherzer had a no hitter going into the 6th inning and gave up a 1 out double. He has 65 pitches thu 6 IP and has just given up the 1 hit. I know it's "just" the Phillies but this is just an incredible stretch of pitching.
