Alexa play Thunderstruck on repeat at max volume

actually im just mad at Zach Wheeler's girlfriend.

The season was in freaking jeopardy multiple times due to covid. Imagine trading some big minor league pieces and then the season gets cancelled. This wasn't the year the white sox were expected to make a world series run. Trading away valuable assets would have been too risky. Most of our valuable minor leaguers are very young pitchers who have ZERO track record, especially given the cancelled minor league season. A trade with those guys would have been unlikely. People need to settle down.

What a treat in a miserable year. Love this team, here’s to the next decade.

You know what we deserve as a fanbase? A nice no drama white sox blowout of the As in the first few innings and then coast.

This is 100 pct on Hahn doing nothing at the deadline and Cooper’s complete failure to develop young pitching

I’m just praying Crochet is ok

I like my dog. I do. My dog caused me to miss the robert home run. So if anyone is in the market for a dog.

Hopefully it is Encarnacion, but I will settle for Cordero.

"Robots are not the solution" he said while perfectly encapsulating why robots are, in fact, the solution.

Some Podsednik style magic.

A couple of weeks ago Dane went 7 IP, 3 H, 1 ER against the Twins. People seem to have short term memories and forgot that the majority of his games he has looked really good. if he is looking good he doesn't need to be removed after 1 time through the line up.

I think it's safe to say that the lineup the past few years is not really a reflection of this year's lineup.

Oh man. I'm so nervous and so excited. If we had control I'm sure we'd choose to win every playoff game with 10 run first innings, but deep down, these elimination playoff games are what we live for. Any player on the Sox, from MVP candidates to backups and disappointments, could make themselves a Sox legend today with one swing of the bat or one flash of leather. The highs of these games are as high as they get and, while it won't feel like it at the time if we lose, the lows are truthfully not that bad. I'd rather be taking an L in our last playoff game than be taking 100 Ls in a season with no end in sight just dreaming of this moment. But the moment is here now so LFG SOX, I'm not done with playoff baseball yet, go win and make sure you aren't either!!!

Hmmm think you need to rethink this part because I don't think he has had an actual good outing in a few years

If only we had Tatis, then we would never lose a game like the Padr....wait

jfc. I'm doing the embedding for you.

Just the start. This is very bitter but good days ahead

So many chances. Yoan needs to get healthy and make smart choices. They are better than Oakland but choked today.

EE Decline the option Mazara DFA Rodon DFA Rickey FIRED1!

I said this in the game thread but I’m adding it here. There’s some irony in saying we should have traded youth for a veteran when Semien, Bassitt, and to a lesser extent Montas were all key for the A’s so far in this series.

Oh, you’re allowed to get 3 guys out in a row?

meathead time, but thanks again Kopech

Goodbye to everyone saying season over. See ya'll next year! Allow the rest of us to discuss this game, thanks.

He’s been screwed by the Crochet injury

I have thunderstruck playing so loud my walls are shaking

I hope this isn't the last game with him, but just in case felt the need to say that I was really not a fan of the colome acquisition, but he was awesome and pitched his ass off for the white sox. Hope the big man gets a 2 inning save for us.

Abreu at 3 and Eloy right behind him. No complaints about this lineup

I'm anxious as could be. Already tanked a full bag of cool ranch doritos...

Start Dunning, any sign of trouble, follow him with Heuer, Foster, Marshall, Bummer, Crochet, Colome… those 6 relievers honestly could fill all 9 innings, so if Dunning doesn't look good in first, pull him for Foster. And keep going as if you have a 1 run lead in the 8th. Should be able to get this one if we score 3-4 runs!

I will leave that for someone who was there like @Texsox

Anderson shouldn't have put the silencer on his bat so Madrigal couldn't hear a baseball making contact with a wooden bat in an empty stadium.

The other thing that scares me about the rotation next season is what if Giolito regresses without McCann. It’s a real possibility and that would make the starting rotation even thinner than it is already.

The bullpen was a disaster because he put them all in awfull situations. He showed them all he had no faith in them.

Al Leiter basically just called Renteria an idiot

Frank is annihilating Renteria on the post game show. We’ll probably hear something about this.

Wtf, did anyone see this just now? Hahn isn't wasting time! Rick Hahn post-game statement on Renteria's future with White Sox:

I think this sums it up. Too many young pitchers just couldn't get the job done. If just one of them could last 2 innings maybe it makes a difference.Pro sports is not for the feint of heart. Crochet getting hurt and Eloy too might've made a big difference. You can point to some little things like the catchers interference on Grandal and bigger things like lack of production from hitters in key situations but it was basically just a very young team showing it.

Well I would rather 100 Crochets over 100 Lance Broadways.

Christ, one of these balls from Moncada has to drop at some point

Man i sure wish hector gomez was right about marcell ozuna!

Eloy needs protection behind him. Grandal is fine at 2 if he uses his elite eye.

Please at least be DHing.

Would have been nice to have Vaughn on the roster if Eloy was unavailable this entire series.

This A's lineup just does not impress me. Their starter is trash, and they wasted Hendricks and pitched Diekman the past 2 days. The Sox should win this game.

I have Yolmer at 2B
