The mounting mistakes have not sat well with Robin Ventura, who was upset by a miscommunication between his players on Thursday night.
While Adam Eaton raced in and Alexei Ramirez backpedaled on Corey Hart’s routine blooper in the seventh inning, neither took charge as the ball fell in for a one-out single. Jeff Samardzija, who has had more freebies given away by his defense than any other White Sox pitcher in 2015, allowed one more single and needed seven extra pitches before he pitched around yet another gaffe. The play didn’t figure into a 3-2 White Sox loss — their seventh straight — but it was enough to catch Ventura’s ire afterward.
