Wish we could play the White Sox more often.

Our offense is going to be wildly inconsistent with no Friedl, McClain, or Marte. Hard to have consistent offense when a third of your lineup is out. What easily could have been the 1, 2, and 4 hitters.

I want to see Elly high in the order because of his ability to steal and score runs, but the dude can't hit a damn breaking ball. If he can learn to go with the pitch and hit it to the field based on where the pitch is, he could be up there. I just don't trust him with that many more at bats in a year. We need Friedl back soon. What I do know, Friedl needs to be leading off and Steer needs to bat 3rd every single game. Elly needs to adjust to big league pitching for sure but my main concern right now is his fielding. One minute he's making an outstanding play. The next minute he's screwing up the routine plays. He makes entirely too many mistakes on the easy play. Think he is much better suited for 3rd base.

Godalmighty! Swept by 6 - 10 team. Not competitive in any of the 3. One fracking hit in finale. Hope we get some players back soon. Oh yeah...Lucas Sims, 2 hits and FOUR walks in less than an inning? While we were still in the game? Shame on you!

Have mercy. We have 6 guys in the starting lineup batting .217 or less. Wouldn't even make a good AA lineup. I thought this was our year to make some noise.

Missing what could have been our 1, 2, and 4 hitters with Friedl, McClain, and Marte hurt/suspended. Put EDLC, Steer, and Fraley with those three and the offense would be more potent.

Actually impressed with the series against the Phillies, the 1st game notwithstanding.

Oops! Spoke before checking today's scores. Glad to take 2. 2 shutouts against is concerning...but we have maybe 2 bats in the entire lineup. Hopefully Greene starts pitching like a #1 as well.

Get McLain back from injury, get Marte on better hidden performance enhancing drugs, and draft one of Condon/Bazzana/Caglianone and the offense will be a lot better. Hope Friedl can produce like he did last year.

Steer and EDLC should be hitting 2-3 at this point. 100%. CES and candelario need to be down 6-7 or 7-8 at this point.

Hunter with a gem. Suter got hit like he owed somebody money. Glad we had contribution from the offense today. Steer is in a massive slump.
