DeRosa says the Mateo out with the bases loaded might have been a season-changing play.  Hopefully not for the Os.

I don't know why he came out swinging first pitch after a 4 pitch walk. With bases loaded you are still in control with a 0-1 count. I thought that pitch was tailing inside and would have been called a ball. Take all the way

Seems like an odd statement from DeRosa. This team has been pretty resilient.    

The thing that worries me is the bullpen.  The workload they've absorbed seems to be showing.

What frustrated me was the first pitch swing by With the bases loaded after the reliever walked the previous guys 4 pitches. Can’t remember but I believe it was Mateo.

It was the first thing that crossed my mind when it happened. If not the team, was worried Mateo had is mojo stolen.

Seemed even after Hays' homer the dugout was somber.

 

Between the Mateo double play lightning bolt and Head's inability to get out of the 8th the team seemed to be far less light together.

He might've been talking about the White Sox season?

I guess that would make more sense!
