Tonight's starters: Ross vs Latos.
Nats look to completely shit on the collapsing White Sox tonight, in their first game out of a nine game homestand. Sox fans ready to open their liquor cabinets.
First pitch 7:10PM CST.
Nats fan on board
>latos
oh boy how exciting
I'm ready for .500. Be gentle
>>68206153
What's the deal with latos?
who /suicidewatchSoxfan/ here
LET'S GO NATS
>tfw no qtpie Trea SS
>>68206013
Here we go
At least can we keep the trend of beating non division teams?
>sox will lose again
>usa will lose again
>>68206182
he's awful
>>68206202
You and me Baby.
>>68206206
Good. Ross is young but mature and has electric stuff.
>Both Revere and Michael Taylor in the lineup
>>68206244
That's not good at all. The white sox wl fall to .500 for the first time since mid April with a loss today.
Latos
>Spanish name
>white guy
>8 pitch walk
It's gonna be one of those days again
>>68206183
Soon.
>>68206293
It is good. I'm a Washington fan. They do have a habit of making shitty pitchers look like Kershaw.
>It's a Werth hits into a DP episode
Guys let's ask ourselves. Was the swift and huge collapse the freakish outlier, or was April the freakish outlier?
Is our group of boys actually an over .500 team?
Can they, with still 4 whopping months of baseball to go, be able to turn it around?
All this bad baseball lately has made me start thinking weird crazy thoughts. Here's one of many:
I miss Trayce Thompson.
>>68206513
>>68206513
April was the freakish outlier, but the collapse was also an outlier. Just not as big. The lineup is just too weak to compete.
>>68206594
I don't want to get into stupid anime/antianime bullshit, I just want to discuss WSB or the lack thereof in recent weeks, so here

>>68206513
Too early in the season to determine if the collapse is out of the ordinary, for this season anyway. Take the last couple years into consideration, then April is the outlier.
>are they an over .500 team
Gut says no, but I want to believe.
>can they turn it around
We'll see if Shields shits the bed tomorrow. If he does, then my guess is no.
>>68206675
>anime
>>68206605
Especially when Robin keeps stuffing the lineup with such prolific hitters and fielders like Jerry Sands, JB Shuck, Jimmy Rollins, Avisail Garcia, Dinner Navarro, Alex Avila, and worst of all statwise, Jose Abreu!
>>68206733
Abreu just needs to off himself already.
>>68206513
if abreu can figure it out I'll believe
but unfortunately I no longer believe that abreu can turn it around
so no, they suck
>>68206733
>Dinner
ha
It's a Ross walks everybody episode.
Here's a challenge:
Justify how Robin Ventura is not fired after a 5-25 run for a team that was leading the entire AL with a 12 over .500 record?
Bonus: Justify how Robin Ventura can go 2-10 against divisional opponents minus the twins and still not be fired.
Thanks abroo
HOLY SHIT THEY SCORED
>>68206592
I miss fleurs
>abroo
>hit
this pitcher is really really bad today
JOSAVIOR
Putting us on the board first again.
>>68206733
Is it that bad for him now? What are the exact stats?
Gordon Beckham and Tyler Flowers have a higher average and WRC+ than abroo
Think about that for a second
>abustu
>>68206831
>after a 5-25 run
wat
It's currently a 6-18 run.
>>68206831
Even if you add the wins vs the twins in, they still have a losing record vs the central
Fuck is wrong with his retarded team?
>>68206831
He hasn't lost the clubhouse yet and his players are still playing, shitshow aside. If he did, I'm fairly certain his ass would have been tossed already.
Personally, I'm on the fence on the Fire Ventura debate. Other than watching what's going on on the field, there are also things happening behind the scenes, and I can't comment on that stuff. If it happens, okay fine, but if it doesn't, it's not happening for a reason.
>>68206911
Managers like Robin don't deserve accurate numbers. Also isn't it 6-21 since the tigers swept us?
>>68206990
No, 6-18.
23-10 start, 6-18 since. 29-28.
Please tell me someone screencapped that Melky face
>>68206905
See
>>68206853
Flowers may have had no bat but at least he had pitch framing and game calling, both our new catchers have neither. Avila makes me particularly disgusted because he's caught several Cy Young winners and just looks like shit now.
>>68207001
Jesus Christ, can't even get to 30
>Strikeout
Ross, pls
Thanks for swinging at a bunch of balls
>blegh
Fuck this team if they only get one from all this. But then again, par for the course.
>>68207017
Just for you.
>JB suck is the DH
Kill robin and hahn and kenny
>>68207209
Kek
Every baseball game you watch for the rest of your life will be called by either F.P. Santangelo or Hawk Harrelson. You get to choose which. Whom do you choose?
I'd probably take Hawk over Santangelo but my god they're both atrocious.
>>68207209
>mfw white sox baseball
Bases loaded and 1 run
Oh
>shitvarro
Oh what I wouldn't give to get Fleurs back
>nats gift the sox a run
Wow, feeling sympathetic tonight.
>>68207209
Beautiful, thanks man
Holy shit throw a fucking strike.
Fuck you dioshit you fucking fatass fucking kill yourself
Save us, Murph

Ends this inning.
Even though it happens literally every time, I still can't believe it.
Fuck you Latos
Fuck you
Go fucking kill yourself
How the fuck can it be physically possible that a fucking team can be so fucking bad?

>fraz mashing more than we could ever expect so far
>can't take advantage and still at around .500
Sox have a 3 run lead
Team USA has a 3 goal lead
Who gives it up first?
Out of pure curiosity:
During the 6-18 stretch, we've scored in 52* innings. In the following half-inning, we've given back a run 19 times. Not nearly as bad as it feels.
*3 innings weren't counted since they signified the end of the game and thus had no chance to give runs back
>>68208986
Kudos for you for looking up such painful stats.
Also wow a 1-2-3 following inning.
Also try to expand it to the following 2-3 half innings.
>>68209042
>the following 2-3 half innings
I don't think that really qualifies as a giveback. At least, whenever I post about givebacks, it's only the immediate following half inning.
>>68208986
And out of that stretch, only 5-6 games come to mind that were losses that I considered to be fucking piss awful. Other than that, they really didn't lose by a large margin. They didn't check out, they just couldn't pull it off.
>>68209083

JB Suck is a goddamn joke. Also what a catch.
Damn, that catch.

It's like the moment they stop playing us, they fucking suck
nice play
FOR FUCK SAKE LATOS
FUCK
Latos is really bad
more news at 9
Game would be tied if it wasn't for Washington's gift run.
fuck
Pls tell me latos isn't going to stay in the rotation while migo is kicked out
Feel like further venting here but fuck the US vs Costa Rica match was in Soldier Field today?
Fuck I shoulda gone.
>>68209766
considering migo came out of the bullpen a couple days ago, I'm going to say that's exactly what will happen

>>68210191
fuck wrong thread
also fuck latos
Hi rbo
Just got home from some bullshit at work, what did I miss? I checked my phone and the sox and nats were both scoring runs. How do either of those things happen?
>>68210094
Peppers are gross bro. Gimme the beef and some provolone and dip that sucker, that's it.
>>68208986
More fun:
During the 6-18 stretch, the Sox have had the lead 24 times, and 18 of those leads were lost. 6-18, how neat. Most leads blown in one game was 3, that fucking Rangers game that started it all.
>>68210440
Banana peppers and jalapenos are GOAT m8
Green peppers are disgusting though, agree with you there
at least >we haven't managed to pull this off yet

HI BULLPEN. NICE TO SEE YA AGAIN

Speaking of blown leads.

Onto Leifthrasir it is
>>68210605
>bullpen pitching to Bryce Harper
What the fuck were you seriously expecting?
>>68210646
How is Leifthrasir? is it worth picking up?
I feel like that could've have been caught
fuck jackson desu
>>68210680
Just bought it. I love Vanillaware and basically played the hell out of Muramasa Rebirth and Dragon's Crown so I'm looking forward to this.
Thank god for video games, at least they can't disappoint me like the sox always do.
>>68210687
He should have caught it, he was right next to it when it landed
>>68210726
>>Thank god for video games, at least they can't disappoint me like the sox always do.
Unless you're playing Dark Souls.
>>68210726
oh so to answer your question, no clue yet
>needing 3 pitchers to get out of the 5th
You continue to amaze me ventura
>>68210820
muh platoon
>>68210781
It's not Dark Souls disappointing you though, it's yourself
>Brett Lawrie
Is this failed Canadian memeboy ever going to be a decent player again?
Fuck you shuck
why
Fuck you salad
I can't watch this shit
Butter fingers fuck what happened to this team's defense?
>SUX
>>68211388
severe regression
>>68211388
It was never good.
I feel bad for you ChiSox fans, really. You guys don't shitpost and make for good gamethreads and yet every year you have to put up with this shit.
Meanwhile the fucking Cusb fans are all annoying retards.
>>68211388
this is what you faggots get for thinking it could just magically become not shit after last season
still mad, fuck all of you
>>68211505
Yeah man, HOW DARE WE WANT TO BELIEVE THIS TEAM COULD ACTUALLY NOT DISAPPOINT FOR A CHANGE
HOW DARE WE HAVE EVEN A LITTLE HOPE
SHAME ON US RIGHT FOR HAVING FAITH?
>>68211582
you were believing in the wrong fucking thing though, that was my problem
>>68211501
I'd say 80% of the Cubes are bandwagoners. When they sucked, they hit the bottle and were quiet.
But then again, it's to be expected. End of July can't come soon enough. There's gonna be some massive shitposting come the Crosstown series.
>>68211501
I'm sure you'll see one or two here soon enough.
This fucking bullpen
>>68211612
I just hope by some miracle that we split the series and still keep the cup. Just for the hell of it.
BABY FACED KILLAH
2016 White Sox Baseball: Still no happiness allowed
>>68211684
gg Nats. Sox are gonna officially be at .500, and the losses are going to continue to pile up.
>>68211501
I just want an organization that tries at this point. Keeping kenny while only having two postseason appearances, keeping Ventura who only has 3 losing seasons bookended by two collapses, waisting sale and q's prime years, Jerry continuing his streak of being a cheap basterd.
It's just funny at this point
The saddest part is probably how as this game inches towards the sad end
>salad again
It's actually a feeling of familiarity as we see the .500 line again. The feeling will only get more familiar as we continue moving under it.
That's truly truly sad.
Anderson up when? If Salad's crap continues at this rate, it's not like the SS position is gonna get worse.
Welp we'll always have the Matt Albers game
>throwing to second after a walk loads the bases

fuck this i'm going to bed
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Jesus fucking christ this fucking team
Why the fuck are we still watching this fucking shit
Amazing
Someone fucking shoot Duke already
>>68211923
it was a borderline pitch
>>68212034
I have nothing else to live for
I just watch baseball all day, sometimes soccer, sometimes other sports
occasionally anime
Purke warming up to save the day. How many more will the Nats score off of him? 0 is not an acceptable guess.
>>68212125
All the runs
Not even fucking mad, just astounded.
>>68212154
I must be insane because I put in the Leifrasir cartridge, booted it up, and then put down my Vita as I continued listening to that whole horrible inning on the radio.
Sigh, the fucking things this team is doing to me. It should be criminal.
Fuck you Salad
Fuck you
>jumping out of the way of a ball when we're down 5 runs and need baserunners
can we reverse that shields trade
they obviously aren't going anywhere
though I guess the sox would need a starter or two for the next couple seasons anyway
also Anderson call up when
Nats pitcher is doing as bad as ours but we still can't load the bases.
Fuck this whole fucking team
>matt puke
Why the fuck am I still watching this fucking shit?
>>68212583
You've lost control of your life.
I don't even know why I still have the game on myself. Game's been over a while now.
>puke
>>68212427
No way, we need more aging players who used to be good. That's how you get to the postseason. Anderson is gonna be gone either this year or next year for yet another old fart.
I wonder how it feels to be a fan of a team where the game isn't automatically over when there's a 5 run deficit with 3 innings to go.
>>68212773
Even if they scored more runs, it would just be another chance for the bullpen to show off their spectacular ability to blow any lead.
>>68212773
I wonder how it feels to keep a lead.
Honestly, there's a subtle comfort I get when the Sox manage to score again after creating a huge deficit, no matter how few runs that may be.
For fuck sake
>>68212973

>after this shitfest, tomorrow we have Scherzer vs Shields
I'm ashamed to be a fan of this team.
>>68213238
I'll be at that game too...
wat
And now this retardation
>>68213293
condolences
>>68213238
Either a perfecto, a no hitter, or a shutout happens. Scherzer always shat on the Sox and it'll be like old times.
Fun.
>>68213293
Why? Are they paying you?
>>68213365
They should.
Only 1 inning left until we're free
Intro to Leifrasir is beautiful. Based Vanillaware
sup sox fans just letting you know that bacardi and sauza are 3 dollars off at walgreens.
>>68212125
well shit
