Remember earlier in the week, when the White Sox swept the Tigers? Just remember the good times and the friends we’ve all made along the way, because this is about to get ugly.
The truth is, the White Sox shit the bed. Tony La Russa allowed Lucas Giolito to completely run out of gas in (realistically) the fifth inning but didn’t do anything about it until it was too late. It didn’t help that Giolito’s pitching was hot garbage, either, but no one warming when he was clearly struggling is inexcusable. In the 40-minute-long — yes, you read that right — sixth inning, the Astros teed off on Lucas Giolito, Matt Foster, and Tanner Banks.
