It is but it doesn't excuse shit managing. He was struggling in the 4th and Larussa apparently wasn't paying attention.

I mean whats he supposed to do? Not put in the guy they spent so much to get?
Craig Kimbrel sucks. There's nothing you can do if a guy is going to come in like that and get shelled.

So much for the White Sox hoopla. Maybe we should revisit the coaching situation….I may be grasping at straws but they don’t look well coached at all. And I know it’s on the players to produce but……fudge!

Among the many things already listed, not pinch hitting for an elite RF with the coldest WS hitter with no one on or out in a tie game, leaving Leury Garcia to badly misplay a flyball in RF off Kimbel.
But is was a collective suck fest today.

They could've won that game easily until Kimbrel just totally blew it. He was acquired to come in those exact situations, in the playoffs, and put out fires. Today he was just gasoline on the fire.
I don't know how they get the starting pitching where it needs to be. They need a bonafide ace, they need to make the equivalent of the Chris Sale trade. How they do that I have no idea. I really do not want to part with Andrew Vaughn, but unless you're open to the idea of dealing Moncada I don't see any other way.
They can make do with Lance Lynn and Lucas Giolito as mid-rotation guys, but they aren't the ace the Sox need. That's the problem here. I actually am not too worried about the bullpen, I expect a pretty good bounceback year out of Kimbrel.

I wish they would but I doubt they go in a diff direction with coaching. Would have been fun battling Houston with their ex coach. Hell we might have had a better season record and diff playoff matchup with hinch. Of course white Sox fall back to this out dated bastard lol

I'm bummed about it, but not surprised...the Sox are certainly headed in the right direction but they were essentially bumslayers this year; they rightly put a beatdown on a division that was them and 4 minor league teams and rode it to an easy division title....if they were in the AL East all year, they would have probably not even made a wild card berth.

They should trade Kimbrel, he's clearly only comfortable as a closer.
They need competent starters at 2B and RF. Don't know how they can get another SP, Jerry isn't going to open up the pocketbook for a free agent.

Just carefully apply some third grade reading skills to your link, and you will find the truth.
