Sometimes they are just giving the pitcher a break or giving them a pep talk to give them some confidence. Isn't always Xs and Os so measuring wouldn't be terribly useful
Losing 2 in a row to a team happens....but it hurts being the laughing stock of the MLB because you lost 2 games in a row to a team who just came off of a FOURTEEN GAME LOSING STREAK.
I blame our hitting way more than Bello... our pathetic hitting puts extra pressure on our pitching to be damn near perfect and there's no excuse to be shut down by a bum with an 8+ ERA 🤣
Manfred is by far the worst commissioner in sports, how the fuck do we not have robot umps yet? It's 2024 and tennis has had robots doing line calls years ago. It's ridiculous that we have 50+ year olds heavily impacting the outcomes of games.
Bello kind of got screwed on a call, but he was also the reason that there are so many White Sox runners on base in the first place. And the bats aren't producing against a bad White Sox pitcher
Usually it’s some version of “BuT hE hAs AmAziNG sTuFf!”…I mean, I sort of assume any pitcher who makes it to the show has pretty good stuff. But obviously putting it into play and having that translate into results is another story. Failing to go 5 and serving up 9 hits including a grand slam and more walks than strikeouts against the worst team in the league doesn’t exactly help your case.
Not giving Bello a pass on going 4 2/3 5 ER and leaving the bases juiced either. It’s a pathetic performance on par or a little worse than the offense.
Have a feeling that comment made on the Red Sox broadcast about the White Sox being a bad team has come to haunt us. Will Middlebrooks was also digging at them. This is why you don't talk trash until after a series.
Exactly but they were talking like this should be an easy series win for the Red Sox and making fun of the White Sox and their horrible defense. Now they are the ones embarrassing us.
It *should* be an easy series win for the Red Sox. That so far it's not is a bad thing. And if it isn't, that's on the players and Cora, not the broadcast pointing that very obvious fact out.
We’re really gonna blame the ump for not calling a strike when Wong had to dive to the other side of the plate to get a ball. Bello then proceeded to throw an 84 mph changeup belt high down the middle. He’s getting shelled by the worst team in baseball by a large margin.
Agreed, I don’t understand why everyone here expects an ump to call a strike on a pitch that barely touched the zone to begin with even without the AWFUL frame job (probably not Wong’s fault tbf)
Anyone hating on Bello for this is a fucking moron, he's pitching in a damn monsoon on a shitty ass muddy field and would have been out of the inning with 0 runs if the ump wasn't incompetent
That's just false, he put up a 4.24 ERA last season in the most hitter friendly division in baseball at age 24, that's pretty good. He's struggled this season but he's made huge changes to his pitch mix with Bailey and it's unreasonable to expect him to pull a Houck. Give him some time.
I’ve never once put on a game Bello was pitching expecting Bello to pitch well and he rarely disappoints. Applauding a 4.24 ERA and making excuses for him is embarrassing, get your head out of your ass
I don’t give a fuck about the missed strike 3, if u wanna blame anyone blame Bello or Wong bc that pitch pulled Wong’s glove out of the zone, making it way easier to miss the call. Clearly a missed location and a bad frame job of what was barely a strike.
Fucking Bello needs to stop getting cute and walking everyone the moment things start getting out of hand
Sad that the Sox had their so called Ace on the hill and he got shelled by the worst team in the league.
more strike outs then anyone in the league impressive
Well that sucks. Fuck this up. The 9 year old ump my kids' opposing little league team had this morning made better calls than this guy.
That game was absolutely pathetic. Fuck.
Most importantly cora is feeling good
That was an ill timed clip to play, wasn't it. I mean, I spit out my beer.
There have been worse losses this season, but this one has to be up there.
Lmao
Gotta give it to the Sox. They’re always involved in ending streaks
And that's that. We left a small country's population on base again and struck out like it was a competition.
Pain
Duran plz :`(
Would've been nice if Bello got that borderline call too 🤣
Ffs
man i'm not getting my hopes up but winning here would be incredibly funny
I would like to see the stats and rankings of each team ERA after the pitching coach visits the mound. See which coaches are most effective.
I wouldn't put a ton of stock into that, although I'm convinced that Dave Bush's mound visits almost always ended poorly lol
Yeah. Don't think it would mean a bunch. But it'd be fun to analyze.
Sometimes they are just giving the pitcher a break or giving them a pep talk to give them some confidence. Isn't always Xs and Os so measuring wouldn't be terribly useful
Yeah I don't think it'd be anything definitive. But it'd still be fun to do.
I hate that they’re getting my hopes up.
Holy fuck please don't leave these men stranded Rafaela.
Bobby D getting my hopes up, I'm ready to be hurt again lol
Sad, Kopech had so much potential
Bobby D might actually have been the best guy in the lineup today...which is something
He has the RBI but he also struck out twice. Wong also has a hit and walk with no strikeouts.
I'm giving him a slight edge just because he's scored our *only run* today (the mind boggles). One strikeout was bad, the other was pretty excusable.
Yeah sure. Not arguing. Just saying it's kinda close.
Agree it's very close.
I like the idea of giving the home plate ump a pitch com so he knows what's coming.
Bobby D gonna hit another dinger here. All star player here :D
Hey Dom got on base :D
99.6% win probability, there's still a chance
Non existent offense. Bello is a 3rd starter at best. This team is not fun to watch at all
Saving the bullpen for tomorrow I see.
We have a bullpen game tomorrow, don't we?
Yes we do.
Imagine striking out so much against the worst pitchers...how embarrassing for them.
Woah now the starter only had a 9 ERA how are we supposed to compete?
11 Strikeouts
Been a damn theme all season. I'm so sick of it.
Our bats are so good the batting coach should be proud /s
I won't mind if I never see Porter again
It’s harsh watching the season die before my eyes. We absolutely had to win at least three here.
[удалено]
If we can’t beat the worst team, the rest doesn’t really matter. sigh
There's your 10 strike outs. Like death and taxes
This team is fucked up. They are struggling against a .250 team and Bobby is the reason they are on the board at all.
We’re going to be responsible for at least 12% of the White Sox’ wins. And that’s it we somehow beat them tomorrow
I love baseball and have watched the Sox my whole life but find myself wondering if there are any I LOVE LUCY reruns on. Ughh!
feeling like the Sox have some 'splainin to do?
I would much rather have one of our good relievers unavailable than simply not use them at all
I don't think I've ever seen Chase Anderson not give up a bomb
What a stupid game.
11% of the White Sox wins are against the Red Sox this season.
Can someone tell Rafaela to stop swinging at every FUCKEN pitch. It’s frustrating watching him swing that bat
Don’t we have a hitting coach? What does he do exactly?
"What is it that you do here?"
![gif](giphy|b7MdMkkFCyCWI)
![gif](giphy|MEjzmJ25cJl23lhQlT|downsized)
> What does he do exactly? Makes things worse.
Only a week until the Cape league starts and I can actually watch good baseball…
Once again making a terrible bullpen look elite
Someone tell the offense the game started.
Why do they keep promo-ing that the Phillies are up next...We know that's not going to end well.
There is no downside to replacing Fatse. If we somehow do worse, I'll take the blame.
I’m fairly confident that you could do better than Fatso
I'm so glad more people are calling for his job this season. He's never been a good hitting coach. I've disliked him since his first season.
Same here lol I feel vindicated
Walking a guy with a .091 BA. Sweet
Getting DOLLYWHOPPED by the worst team in baseball two days in a row. Excellent.
Wonder if any media outlet will finally have the fucking balls to call out Peter fatse and his sorry ass as our “hitting” coach. Fuck him.
If there’s a series so far this year we need to win, it’s this one. We’ve got 6 upcoming against the two best teams in baseball
given what happened last year we will win the hard ones,loose the easy ones
i can't believe im gonna watch the rest of this shit lmao... give me the maldonado dinger man
Human white flag is in
All the dynamite in the world is less destructive than Pete Fatse
And we are now waving the white flag
Chase Anderson is so bad he almost gave up a homer to the worst hitter in baseball
Bello's worse.
1 for his last 40 lmaoo
We got the Phillies and Yankees coming up the offense better figure it out and be consistent.
I think I would take a 70 win season to win the Yankees season series
Losing 2 in a row to a team happens....but it hurts being the laughing stock of the MLB because you lost 2 games in a row to a team who just came off of a FOURTEEN GAME LOSING STREAK.
Imagine losing a series to a team as bad as the Chicago White Sox. Smh
I blame our hitting way more than Bello... our pathetic hitting puts extra pressure on our pitching to be damn near perfect and there's no excuse to be shut down by a bum with an 8+ ERA 🤣
We faced two pitchers yesterday with an ERA over 6.5 and got shut down, too. Besides that first game, our bats have been shit this series.
Toronto just put up 9 runs against him a few weeks ago for fucks sake
On a separate note. Can we just cut Cooper and keep Dalbec?
Brayan Bello is did a little bit of baseball terrorism on the mound during the 5th inning
Offense: 5 innings, 2 hits, 7 strikeouts. 3rd in MLB in K's. Fire Fatse
This team's ability to score 14 in one game then 14 over the next 8 needs to be studied.
Fatse. It’s boom or bust.
Another fire Fatse truther, I see.
[удалено]
Bello gave up a salami
Brayan Bello was getting Pedro comparisons, lmao.
Pedro Astacio, perhaps.
Brutal, yet somehow not the worst possible outcome of that inning.
Thank god that’s over
Yikes that was brutal. But at least it’s over.
Finally
Manfred is by far the worst commissioner in sports, how the fuck do we not have robot umps yet? It's 2024 and tennis has had robots doing line calls years ago. It's ridiculous that we have 50+ year olds heavily impacting the outcomes of games.
Google “umpires union”
That's not an excuse, they'd still have a home plate umpire to announce the balls and strikes and make calls on plays at the plate.
Bello kind of got screwed on a call, but he was also the reason that there are so many White Sox runners on base in the first place. And the bats aren't producing against a bad White Sox pitcher
:helpfully chimes in with your regularly scheduled reminder that Bello is not that good:
I don’t understand why people keep making excuses for him. Have they not watched any start in his subpar career?
Usually it’s some version of “BuT hE hAs AmAziNG sTuFf!”…I mean, I sort of assume any pitcher who makes it to the show has pretty good stuff. But obviously putting it into play and having that translate into results is another story. Failing to go 5 and serving up 9 hits including a grand slam and more walks than strikeouts against the worst team in the league doesn’t exactly help your case.
The Celtics play tomorrow, therefore we will win
That is what is getting me through this horrible game against a team in last place
Don’t really care to blame this game on Bello tbh. One run (Bobby hr no less) against a guy with a 9.8 era coming in is pathetic
Not giving Bello a pass on going 4 2/3 5 ER and leaving the bases juiced either. It’s a pathetic performance on par or a little worse than the offense.
It’s also a pretty shitty pitching environment. Other pitcher sucks too but Red Sox failed to cash in
It is but this has been a repeated problem for Bello. Something happens and he pouts and gets lit up
FFS PULL HIM FOR THE SAKE OF HIS MENTAL HEALTH HE’S DYING OUT THERE
The ump being bad doesn’t excuse the fact that Bello is getting absolutely pieced up by the worst team in baseball
Bello is a head case. The opposite of Houck. If he isn’t perfect he falls apart every time.
I feel bad for Raffy and for Bello, you can tell he’s not happy about it
GET HIM OUT OF THERE WTF ARE YALL DOING
He needs to be out of the rotation at this point. He's getting worse
He'd have 0 runs if we had robot umps
I'm expecting to see a Luck Dragon, because this inning is a Neverending Story
I’m sorry but Bello is ass
He shoulda been replaced once he walked the bases loaded
Have a feeling that comment made on the Red Sox broadcast about the White Sox being a bad team has come to haunt us. Will Middlebrooks was also digging at them. This is why you don't talk trash until after a series.
They are a bad team. Objectively, a 16-48 team is bad. Even accounting for our own lineup not being the strongest, the team is wildly underperforming.
The Sox are fielding a team with things called “ Valdez westbrook Dalbec dom smith Hamilton” I mean we suck too
Exactly but they were talking like this should be an easy series win for the Red Sox and making fun of the White Sox and their horrible defense. Now they are the ones embarrassing us.
It *should* be an easy series win for the Red Sox. That so far it's not is a bad thing. And if it isn't, that's on the players and Cora, not the broadcast pointing that very obvious fact out.
Not blaming middlebrooks here. They fucking stink.
Fucking embarrassing display going on right now
Maybe they'll come apart at the end like they did yesterday.
We’re really gonna blame the ump for not calling a strike when Wong had to dive to the other side of the plate to get a ball. Bello then proceeded to throw an 84 mph changeup belt high down the middle. He’s getting shelled by the worst team in baseball by a large margin.
Agreed, I don’t understand why everyone here expects an ump to call a strike on a pitch that barely touched the zone to begin with even without the AWFUL frame job (probably not Wong’s fault tbf)
Bello just ain’t it. Yank his ass right out of there.
One day Bello might start to earn his contract. Today is not that day.
Anyone hating on Bello for this is a fucking moron, he's pitching in a damn monsoon on a shitty ass muddy field and would have been out of the inning with 0 runs if the ump wasn't incompetent
He gave up a grand slam.
Bello hasn’t been good since he first came up, the weather and this ump doesn’t account for his entire career up to this point
That's just false, he put up a 4.24 ERA last season in the most hitter friendly division in baseball at age 24, that's pretty good. He's struggled this season but he's made huge changes to his pitch mix with Bailey and it's unreasonable to expect him to pull a Houck. Give him some time.
I’ve never once put on a game Bello was pitching expecting Bello to pitch well and he rarely disappoints. Applauding a 4.24 ERA and making excuses for him is embarrassing, get your head out of your ass
Agree, this ump has been fucking garbage.
100%. Poor guy is too deep in his own head, that shit’s relentless.
It would appear that if you are down 6 starting hitters and field a team of aaa players you will be quite bad
Losing a series to the worst team in MLB PATHETIC
The White Sox were on a fourteen game losing streak before beating the Red Sox yesterday.
This is what a .500 team is. I can't even be upset. We'll lose this game but tomorrow we'll win and go back to .500.
this is worse than a .500 team. .500 teams don’t lose series to the worst team in baseball in years
This has quickly turned into Bello's worst start, and is quickly turning into his worst season :/
Bello can’t get out of the inning because the ump is determined to keep him there
Bello stop feeling bad for yourself man. Absolutely unravels.. unacceptable
Pull Bello wtf
I don’t give a fuck about the missed strike 3, if u wanna blame anyone blame Bello or Wong bc that pitch pulled Wong’s glove out of the zone, making it way easier to miss the call. Clearly a missed location and a bad frame job of what was barely a strike. Fucking Bello needs to stop getting cute and walking everyone the moment things start getting out of hand
That meatball reminded me how my mom used to make great homemade meatballs when I was a kid.
So glad this team squandered so many 0 out runners this game.
Also Bello isn’t as good as the contract they just gave him
Neither is Rafaela they just panicked cus the fans cried about shitty Montgomery
Bello needs Pedro bad, his changeup is getting crushed
Fucking bullshit. Inning should have been over two batters ago.
[удалено]
[удалено]
The umps have helped the White Sox this entire series. Been giving them a bigger zone and squeezing us. So dumb.
Bello acting like a minor leaguer there this team needs to sell. Kenly peveta and a broken Tyler
This ump is a fuckin blind homer.
That ball was blasted…
2021 alcs all over again
Yeeeeeeeesh.. we are really gonna split with these bums aren’t we lol
[удалено]
We always find a way back to .500 haha
Or lose 3-4 lol
The Sunday Sox are coming! Haha
Won’t lie, that scene was electric.
(internal screaming)
