So any free agents out there worth giving a shot over the rest of August to squeeze out a few hits, maybe?

Like a Ty France

I mean otherwise let's see what a Dezenzo, Melton can do, why not?

How much worse can they be than what we have masquerading as big league hitters now?

In the last 8 games, the Astros are 2-6, have scored a total of 19 runs, which is 2.37 runs/game. The White Sox's season average is 3.07 and they are dead last in that category.

How long do slumps last?

How long is Tucker gonna be out?

Reading between the lines it sounds like Tucker and the club have different views on when he should be returning

No bueno if that is so

A little over dramatic? Just shows that you don't really pay attention to anyone but the Astros. If they just have a couple guys go on a hot streak they'll run away with the division

When this continues to happen, can Yanier not just do a mound visit? Obviously he doesn't have the pedigree of Maldy, but damn he seems to call good games.

What's worse is we continue to aggressively pitch towards their best hitter.

Why? He kills us all the damn time

In the 13 games since he hit for the cycle, Yordan is batting .276 w 0 HR and 1 RBI (on a walk). We are 5-8 during that stretch. We need him to find his power swing quickly!

It's almost like the players quit after Dana did next to nothing at the trade deadline. Hmm.

Are you telling me the Ferguson acquisition didn't fix our bullpen woes. It's not everyday you trade for a 5.50 ERA who the Yankees were thrilled to get rid of

So the guys who would have been replaced during the trade deadline aren't trying because they *checks notes* didn't get replaced at the trade deadline?

Or are you trying to say with a straight face Altuve, Bregs and Yordan quit?

8 games left in this road trip, currently at 57-55

Do we finish this road trip over .500?

4-4 or better = over
3-5 = .500
2-6 or worse = under

Yep. It's not just the Meyers and Dubons of the lineup

I'm not sure it's possible to pull but I'm curious in our record in which Hader pitches in a nonsave situation.

Because when it's a nonsave he's either sucking and giving it up or he's holding it but there's no one else behind him to close the door and we cough it up anyways.

With this lineup slumping like it is teams can just pitch around him. Move YED up to 2nd.

Put Yordan in LF, Caratini at C and Yainer at DH. Maybe flip YA to #2 spot, at least to shake things up.

I have been thinking the same. You need Caratini and Yainer in the lineup together, even if it means calling up a third catcher for insurance. At this point itll be better than the options on your bench.

Altuve
Bregman
Alvarez
Yainer
Pena
Caratini
Dubon
Singleton
Meyers

Something like that....

With the way we're playing right now, I hope it rains all weekend. Play them later once the offense has stopped sucking.

It's pretty well documented that Hader has not been good in non-save situations.

If the intention was to put Ferguson in a high leverage spot, I didn't understand why he wasn't used in the 9th once Pressley blew the save and gave up the tying run. Hader is nails when converting saves. Why not use Ferguson in the 9th with a clean base path, then you have Hader to go to if you get the lead. If you lose, then you have Hader to use the next day.

I agree with all saying that Hader has been not good in non-save situations and that we should probably not bring him in much outside of those, but man it's limiting to have a $95 million relief pitcher than can only pitch when a save is on the line. Looking like another great value move by the front office.

Hader was fine last night in a nonsave.

It's just not having anyone worth a flying fck behind him to bring it home because you've spent all your bullets.

Not saying it's Espada's fault for firing the bullets because those were absolutely the right plays at the time.

Just sucks the offense couldn't add some insurance given the bullets were already fired.

I'm not sure if it's a blessing or a curse that the division is as bad as it is. While being in contention is nice, this roster isn't in a position to make a World Series run.
