Offense pls help Q

>>75766987
White Sox will check out and swing at every other pitch.

Ahhh

Can we have Asher, instead?

>8 pitches for a strike
>borderline at best
ahhhhhhhhh

Not liking this fastball velocity from Tillman, especially when his lack of control makes it look like he's overthrowing. 89?

Tillman, you can't put the curveball in the dirt when you've thrown like two strikes total to the first three batters.

abroo pls

Jesus christ, Bordick is such a fucking horrible announcer.

finally an out

What about Gary Thorne? I think he's the best.

Trey "BOOM BOOM" Mancini. Its horrid.

>>75767241

>First baseman making a catch on the third-base side of home

Wat.

>Trumbo legging out infield singles two games in a row

Safe.

the tank is in full force, good lord have we played like shit this series

Fuck. come on Q

>>75767423
do you like super long innings where no one scores?

then yes.

>>75767484
you can't possibly call that a single can you?

please please please minimize the damage

Trumbo was asleep for that dropped ball lol

Hey we're scoring runs

the orioles official scorer has really been hanging some tough earned runs on our pitchers this series, it's pissing me off

>avi still can't play RF
It's a good thing we're on tank mode or else I would be upset

FUCK

sigh... the tank is here

we cant even have Q build stock

the baseball gods fucking hate us and I fucking hate them

>there are two people behind JJ in the batting order

2 walks + 2 errors = 2 runs

I feel legitimately bad for Who's fans. This happens to them every year. It really is performance art.

Why? Why can't we have nice things?

>>75767453

1. Which Cartoon Bird is superior
2. Which real bird is superior?

1. 1966-1974
2. 1999-2008

>>75767587

It's sad, because watching him, his contact skills haven't gone away and his batted ball profile is shaped more or less the same - he's just not strong enough to hit it out of the park anymore. All those fly balls that used to be home runs are now warning-track flies.

>>75767562
hopefully our potential suitors will look past ERA as a determinator

it's all we can pray for at this point

>>75767599
This year is a lot easier to swallow. Unlike last year, we have a top 5 farm system with plenty more coming.

>>75767599
It was around this time last year too that we did a 180 nosedive
I mean what are the odds of it happening again like this?

>>75767605

79-88 is superior cartoon bird

>>75767605
1. current
2. '89 - '97

>>75767633
While it is easier to swallow I still get absolutely livid when I see our best trade pieces not performing well. God I'm going to be a nervous wreck during the trade deadline. Pray for Hahn.

>>75767665
if only he was able to trade Q in the offseason. or even right after the WBC when his stock was sky high for basically no hitting the American lineup through 6 innings

>>75767665

Can probably still get the other Sox to go for him.

>>75767728
I don't even care that they're not trading Q, we're obviously not getting the return that we should be getting for him otherwise he'd have been traded already, and it looks like that sort of return is getting even less likely. I don't mind keeping him, don't want to settle when trading him, He'll be a good piece to have later anyway

why the fuck does our shortstop shift so much, I swear every game there's a couple grounders to short I think should be easy plays and then he's nowhere close. I feel like it happens way more often than him catching a meme ball wherever he's shifted

>>75767832
Renteria is going nuts with the shift
sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. well need actual analysis to see how effective it actually has been though

abreu was moving in slow motion there

>>75767869
pitchers babip has been really low this season so maybe it's actually working

fuck this I'm going to go watch Sale get btfo by the twins as usual

Some things just never change.

bloopin all ova yo shit

welp rip Q trade dreams

at least there's still nurse possibility

>>75767453
Best real bird is 1999 to 2008

Best cartoon bird is 2012 to present

Sox have the Twinkies and Dads at home. I wouldn't go aboard the S.S Despair just yet. Then again,

>me in charge of optimism
hahahahaha

At least we weren't 23-10 before crashing this year.

>"maybe his cutter/slider pitch is getting a bit too slurve-y"

Just stop talking, Bordick. Please.

Way to keep your shit together. But at the same time, I can't blame him.

>>75768385

I mean, what was he even bitching about to get ejected? On the scale of "bad strike calls," that one hardly ranks near the top.

>>75768409
it was in the other batters box

but anyway he probably just doesn't want to see the total dogshit that is his "baseball team" any longer

>>75768459

You see at least two or three calls like that per game.

>>75768459
I sure wouldnt. god this has been a disgusting series.

Based Rickard

Joey "god of bloops" Rickard

Saladino's facial hair should be a crime.

thank god for a scoreless inning

I see Tillman has the stuff (his fastball is ok, change and curve look great) but his control sucks today. Hopefully this is just nerves/rust.

>Tillman has literally no command
>Whos can't score

Why the fuck is melky leading off...

>7 LOB

>>75768763

Tillman always have the stuff on his breaking pitches (his curve is like something out of a cartoon), it's just that he can usually never throw it for strikes so intelligent hitters have no reason to ever try to swing at it.

>>75768767
Its a Q start

this is expected sadly

>>75768767
Bundy has had no command for his past couple of starts and somehow down okay

Last night he didn't even have his breaking balls

finally a 123 inning

>this is the only thing we can be even a little bit happy about

should be 2 earned runs

I like the orioles but your scorer is a faggot

took a few innings but Sale getting btfo as expected

>ynoa in

sigh

sad day. why am I still watching this

>>75769585

Hey, be glad your bullpen doesn't have Belisario anymore.

It's nice to have a series where every ball close to a hitter doesn't lead to two days of espn headline drama

>>75769656
that doesn't help

this fucking pathetic offense doesn't help either

>Sale still can't pitch against the twins
lol

>>75769751
Or the Tribe

at least don't be shut out again

fuck Q offense days

Well, Tillman is back. If we can just get Gaus straightened out, we may actually have a rotation.

>>75769244
I'm pretty sure it all gets reviewed anyway after the game

>>75770113
didn't change the ones from friday

I feel like this one is more obvious though, there's no way he shouldn't have made an out on that play. Could have been 2 actually. But still he didn't actually bobble it or make a bad throw or anything so I feel like they won't change it

Who is worse. Jeff Keppinger or Cody Asche.

>>75769976

great you jinxed it, thanks anon
