OT: Other Sports 73

[Kaners Bald Spot]

White Sox lose

Cant believe the collapse that is occuring

They were up 3 games on Twins and 6 on Indians when they clinched playoff spot!

They were up 3.5 on the Twins as recently as Saturday.

This is what a manager who knows how to win says (and no I'm not saying I want Ozzie back).

I couldn't wait for Ozzie to leave. But at this point I'd take him back. Ricky has to go. But if Ozzie ever came back, he would have to agree to stop giving away Sunday games with those cupcake lineups.

Ozzie would be a wonderful manager for this group. However, he's burned that bridge to the ground and pissed on the ashes.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I dont agree

He is still close to Jerry and would still like to get back into managing

I would never discount the chance of Jerry bringing him back on down line

What about Big Frank as a manager? I know... the player as manager thing doesn't always work out... and we saw that with Ventura... but I feel like Frank would be worth a look at least, no?

Guys, the next manager was right in front of our eyes this week. The guy who saw Cordero come in and PH 3 lefties.

Sandy Alomar Jr.

No, he wouldn't be. Ozzie hates analytics, he's as old school as they come.

Major pass, and I doubt he'd have interest. He still has young kids, can't see him wanting in on a 7 month grind. Local TV and a few trips a month to LA for FOX is more his speed.

That's fair. I still think he could be a good one.

Ok you have a point

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Never heard Thomas desiring to be a coach

He seems to enjoy being in studio for CSN and occasionally national broadcasting

 

[HeisenBaez]

Sounds like Eloy won't be playing all weekend.

 

[clydesdale line]

No, he wouldn't be. Ozzie hates analytics, he's as old school as they come.

He has actually embraced them by his words on the pre and post game shows. He knows the game has evolved in that aspect. He talks about what the analytics say about bunting now for example.

 

[ChiHawks10]

Well... Twins have won 4 straight. Indians have won 5 straight. Sox have lost 5 straight...

Sox should have a good weekend, while the Twins and Indians are due for a loss or two. Right? A sweep of the Cubs would be nice to head into the POs on a good note.

 

[Cowch]

I'm just happy the sox are out of Ohio. What a shitty 1-6 dip into that state. Sucks that the sox put themselves in such a bad spot after having put themselves into such a good spot just a week ago.

Cubs hitting everything Cease throws at them out of park in bottom of 2nd

4-0 Cubs

Looks like Sox will continue to stumble into the participation round

Be nice if Madrigal trades places with Engel here.

 

[ndgt10]

Will the Sox win another game this year? Lol

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Be nice if Madrigal trades places with Engel here.

And Sox strand runner at 3rd going out with whimper

Had runner on 2nd with no outs and came away with nothing

So much dead weight in lineup right now , A bullpen that is in shambles thanks to manager , etc

Sucks right now seeing this team falter like this ,, Hopefully they get hot again at right moment

 

[ChiHawks10]

Lol. Cease... your fast ball is not moving at this point. How about you stop throwing f***ing belt high fastballs right out over the plate? f***ing throw something else.

 

[ChiHawks10]

Lmao Grandal... you call a slider and then you don't get in front of it? Nicely done.

Things really couldn't be going any worse for the Sox right now.

Weird that these guys won 20 of 25 just a couple weeks ago. They've turned in to the bad news bears.

It's normal... during a normal season, and I wouldn't care if it was a normal season...but it's 3 days before the playoffs start, when a week ago they looked like they'd be the 2nd seed, at worst...

 

[ChiHawks10]

LMAO. Way to go Gio. You f***ing useless sack of shit. Get beat to the base by Schwarber.
