I think you maybe see another LHP after Smith if Venable's goal remains getting through Kwan twice before the RHP? I'm expecting at least 4 from Hicks and Taylor on the backend, so some combination of Smith, Fedde, and Newcomb/Kay depending on availability to piece together the front half of the game. Limit the walks, make Messick work again, and the home clincher is there for them.

There was no play at first

Maybe not the right place for this, but I'm missing something? Smith had to tuck and roll to not get clocked by the throw home. Even if he sprinted straight to the bag, I don't think there's a chance for the DP. How many "3-2-1" double plays have we ever seen?

8 pm est 7 cst Might be the entire baseball world focusing on Sox/Guardians the next 24-72 hours the way Padres/Brewers is trending. Made it to the final five teams still alive.

My expectations for tomorrow: Hagen = 1 Fedde = 3 Newcomb = 1 Hicks = 2 Taylor = 2

Expecting: Smith Fedde Hicks Taylor

Yeah Hagen was fine. Hudson is the worst guy on your roster. Hagen is a guy you have to let pitch himself into and out of trouble.

I agree

If he's covering first, it's a DP and he's out of the inning. Don't think he was terrible. Just have seen him better. Probably only has one inning in him.

I’ve seen that show…if it was either of the two main girls, no one would have been complaining

I got to say I think Adell and Ramirez are more scary against a lefty than Kwan and DeLauter are against a righty

Should have just gone with Hagen to start the 3rd

Let's hope for Friday night lights, Arkansas Hagen. LFG.

I agree, would've gone with Fedde. Hope we get great Hagen, no walks. You limit the walks vs Cleveland, then you make that anemic offense strings hits and that limits their run production. 10 walks given up doesn't win you many games. I think Sox pitching will be much better and hopefully the Sox offense stops chasing fastballs eyes high

No idea who this guy was - total miss on Sox pr to hype this without it being someone super legit. They better make up for it and surprise tomorrow!

Now I feel the weight of all white Sox fandom on my shoudlers

Going to be the 6th time CLE has seen him, 3rd time this series. Risky

Four factoids today: October 8, 1948 - Frank “Trader” Lane was recruited out of the American Association (a Triple-A minor league baseball league) where he was President and took over as the new General Manager of the White Sox. Lane would go on to become one of the greatest G.M.’s in team history. Among the players acquired by Lane, who made over 230 trades in his Sox tenure, were such future All-Stars as Nellie Fox, Sherm Lollar, Billy Pierce, Dick Donovan, “Chico” Carrasquel and “Minnie” Minoso. Lane built the club that would go on to win the pennant in 1959. October 8, 1983 - With the Sox down two games to one in the A.L.C.S. Jerry Dybzinski overran second base after a line drive one hop single by Julio Cruz in the seventh inning of a scoreless game at Comiskey Park in game #4. In the ensuing rundown Vance Law, who was on base in front of Dybzinski, was thrown out trying to score what would have been the go ahead run. The Sox wound up losing the game and the series on a home run by the Orioles Tito Landrum in the 10th inning. The final score was 3-0, spoiling a masterful performance by Sox pitcher Britt Burns who went the distance striking out eight. October 8, 1993 - With the Sox down two games to none in the A.L.C.S. Wilson Alvarez pitched a gem in game #3 and beat the Blue Jays 6-1. The Sox scored five runs in the third inning which gave him some breathing room. The complete game victory was badly needed and gave Sox fans a reason to keep hoping. Alvarez gave up seven hits, striking out six. October 8, 2021 – White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson was a prime-time player and it showed in his first five postseason games. Anderson got three hits in the White Sox 9-4 game #2 A.L.D.S. loss to the Astros giving him 13 hits in his first five games dating back to the 2020 playoff series against the Athletics. That set the Major League record. The 13 hits also tied the record for the most hits in any five-game span in postseason history. Anderson then added three more hits in the game #3, 12-6 Sox win two days later, giving him 16 in six postseason games, the most ever by a player in a six-game postseason span. Anderson with another hit 10-10-21 Clark

Rescheduling that date?

Unimpressive showing from the higher payroll teams on the AL side

In front of a national audience in prime time

7 EST is start time for GM 4 and the final ALDS game between Chicago and Cleveland 🙏

The Rays made him ditch the sweeper and focus on the cutter and fastball. It has worked.

Yes, the rest of this series is 7pm central daylight time
