It would not surprise me if the White Sox trade Crochet for a piece.

My god. What are you looking for? What a bust.

We need Ceasar to have his Geoff Blum moment.

Eloy and Abreu have been so bad this past month.

I wonder if Carlos was tipping his pitches there. Tucker didn't look fooled at all and he threw him some nasty stuff.

Anybody have a hard time sleeping last night? I don't know if it was excitement or nervousness.

I do think you have to pitch Rodon in game 3 to make any sense of the Kopech usage. If Rodon doesn't pitch until game 4 then that will be an unexplainable mistake.

That's what I don't get about all of the Madrigal love is he made some bad plays on the base paths, didn't steal, and by all accounts was an average fielder. Again he could develop to be a good player but there was nothing beyond where he was picked in the draft and contact rate that made him great. I remember when Robert and Madrigal were both in the system and people would put Madrigal ahead of him. I always thought on what planet- the tools are not even close to being the same. Moncada is one of the best defensive 3rd basemen in the league but he routinely gets bashed on this board. I do not get it.

Maybe Nick Madrigal becomes a good player but he was not a good player when the White Sox traded him. He was an average 2nd Baseman. He played average defender, very few steals, and no power with an exceptional contact skill. That does even account for the 2 major surgeries in two years. Maybe he becomes a great player but I just have a hard time seeing it.

This dude is 100% correct.

Yasmani just got pounded with breaking ball. I wonder how he will adjust for tomorrow's game.

Some positive after one loss. 1. Bullpen was really good. 2. Robert and Moncada played really well 3. White Sox got to have some really good looks at the back end of their bullpen I think we just got beat by a McCullers who was throwing strikes with his breaking ball. Most if not all teams will have trouble with McCullers when he is throwing his breaking ball for strikes. We need to go out and win tomorrow. Giolito is our best pitcher against a lefty. So lets do it and come back to Chicago tied.

Just not our game. Ball was hammered just right at him.

Jose Ruiz has been really good this season. I think every other team in the playoffs would take him as their 7th reliever coming out of the pen. K/9: 8.9 Whip: 1.16 ERA: 3.60

I wonder if Goodwin traveled with the team in case Jose could not have made the series with his illness.
