Too many cold bats in the Sox lineup. They need to wake up in the next 6 days.

Cubs fans to Sox fans this season:

Haven’t followed the baseball season all that closely but Kris Bryant’s numbers are hilariously awful. Good god man.

If we win the division, the 2020 Cubs will be like the one time during the Ancient Olympics where a wrestler was choked to death but proclaimed champion due to his opponent breaking his foot and simultaneously tapping out due to the pain.

Yay, we might win the division... when's the funeral?

:laugh::laugh::laugh: That sounds about right.

Congrats WS, you are about to get healthy for the playoffs at the expense of the Cubs. So again, you are welcome.

Just hardcto believe Nr August has become Mr. Gone September (Robert(....never seen takent skumo tgat badlyvascto bo longer being able to hit a baseball or even make contact. Not a slump. Anemic fakk off tge cliff...


Moncada just does not look"strong" or "up in mood.. as if the Covid still affecting him to weakling status and mopey non-alert and excited demeanor he showed last season..
Just does not look right.

Encarta ion...tge DH who cannot hit his own weight....RF a sinkhole with Nazzara Notger who cannot seem to hit a baseball like he did his prior seasons in the majors.

That is 4 hugevhokesvin the batting lineup....naybe tgdvither 5 could compensate vs. weaker opos..but get a top pitching club lije Cleveland and5/9 as actuak threats is not goibg to be goidcenough..and even thosec5 threats are being stymied by goidvoitching .
You woukd think atcdonebpintblaw ofvzveragesxtajeschokd and Sox take a ganecfromCkeveland ..butbitvseems everyone they outbon the mound plays tgeir best cs.the WhikecDox and there is no reversion to even their own mean ...not when so navy Sox hotters refuse to fake balls in the dirt and ibstead keep swing at these and do many patches outbif the zone.


It looks so easy for Cleveland to get Sox hitters chasing non-strikes andcwhifgibgvso badly.

It is hard to watch such utter futility and lack of discipline...give Cleveland pitching credit for exploiting the Sox swing on so many pitchesvoutbofvtgeczone ..Justvkerp doing it till Sox prove they will notvswingcat so many badc(deliberateky bad ( pitches.

Sox are batting stupid ...Cleveland is pitching smart .

Even when Sox had chances to knock on a runner from 3rd with less than 2vout,the fails agsinst Cleveland are too numerous...the strike-out whiffs or ground balls for outs being too numerous compared to the simple sac fly required.


All thiscisvoaibfil stiff to watch.

Yes Cleveland has good pitching...but Sox are not helping themselves very much.

Atcsobe point you expect a bad itching game from Cleveland once in awhile.. but it seems such are never agaivstthe White Soz where Cleveland pitchers have seemed inhuman.
Sox have blown a lot of vlose games late vs Clevand ...A full bullpen with Bummer and Marshalk back will help...

But no help forvthe hitters ...Sox slumbers have got to hit themselves out of the mire...

1st he puts in Cordero to load bases

Then he puts in a SP who hasn't come in relief since 2015 and hasn't pitched since August 3rd into a bases loaded situation

Sox will go nowhere with this trash as manager

This has got to be one of the dumbest moves I've ever seen by a manager. Rodon hasn't pitched out of the pen in 5 years, and came off the DL today. So he brings him in with the bases loaded. How stupid is he?

They really need to fire him this winter. He's too dumb to manage this talent.

He wont be going anywhere

He made the participation playoffs ,, Probably gets another f***ing extension

And now Bummer is up in pen to come in 8th

Absolutely stupid

If you were going to throw Bummer in then he should have been the one coming in with bases loaded relief situation

He should of just left Cordero in. They had 3 kind of seeing eye singles. Then he got 2 outs. He actually was pitching fine.

And yes, if you are taking him out, Bummer is the guy, not Rodon with the bases loaded. Idiot.

Also Eloy was injured in top of 7th

Saw him get up limping after slide hopefully its just general soreness... He has limped/been in discomfort for a while now at times since he injured himself during no hitter celebration

Only 4 hits again tonight. What the hell has happened with the hitting?

They're just cold. In a normal 162 game season it's normal for that to happen a couple times, and isn't a big deal because there are so many damn games. In a 60 game season... it is likely the difference in them advancing deep in the playoffs, or being out in the first round. Their hitting has been bad news bears bad the last 2 weeks, and their matchups just keep getting worse for the first round.
