“It was a very good at-bat by a good player,” said Gavin Williams. “I was counting the number of pitches at one point, then I just stopped counting. “Those at-bats are frustrating. Props to him for the way he did that.” Said Peters, “I felt like I was up there for an hour. I was exhausted. After like eight pitches, I was like, ‘OK, this is getting pretty long.’” Third longest mlb at-bat since 2000...longest since 2020 "That was probably one of the best feelings ever,” said Peters (about realizing he'd been hit in the helmet by the throw) Lowe said Peters did a good job of “getting to where he needed to get. I hit him right in the head. I’m pretty sure if I don’t hit him in the head, I hit (shortstop Brayan) Rocchio right in the chest and we have a chance to get two outs." msn.com

I have to say I absolutely despise the whole "let this guy resign" bullshit that companies do. He should be fired for this embarrassing deplorable behavior.

I will feel a lot better if they can win at least one more game this series. Would guarantee at least 1.5 games up with the tie breaker

Forgot to check if Cleveland lost tonight. Anybody have an update?

When you're 90 it can happen any minute. But he is a pretty spry 90.

Right missed Kay, considered putting Cannon on the list decided not to .Did not think of Bush but even if I had I wouldn't have included him since I was trying to only consider guys who realistically could make the starting rotation with good spring Training performances. Shane Smith, given his melt down, could qualify, but there's a lot of guys ahead of him at this point. Not sure how much 2025 Smith will be considered if he has a very good ST especially if there is an extended lockout.

TEN factoids today: September 15, 1901 - In a doubleheader nightcap hosting Milwaukee, the White Sox hit a MLB-record five triples in the eighth inning — and three of them were consecutive! Sam Mertes, Fred Hartman and Herm McFarland started off the barrage with three three-baggers in a row, and after Frank Isbell failed to triple, two more were hit consecutively, by Frank Shugart and Billy Sullivan. The second-biggest crowd at South Side Park that year saw the White Sox rally, from down 4-2, with a seven-run eighth to pace a sweep of the Brewers, 5-4 and 9-4. William “Dummy” Hoy had hit a triple earlier in the game, giving the White Sox a total of six, setting the American League record — which the Sox would tie on September 17, 1920 against the Yankees. The White Sox also had three triples in the opener (including from Hoy and Mertes), making nine total for the doubleheader. September 15, 1915 - Although still not yet a full-time starter, Urban “Red” Faber beat the Red Sox 3-1, with a one-hitter in Boston. Boston’s hit (and run) came in the fifth inning after a single-sac-bunt-stolen base-sac fly, and actually put the outcome in doubt by knotting the score at one. In the sixth, the White Sox came right back with two singles and an eventual fielder’s choice RBI from Eddie Collins, and in the seventh Ray Schalk added an RBI single to finish out all scoring. In-between those runs, “Babe” Ruth led off the Boston sixth as a pinch-hitter — and Faber struck him out. September 15, 1940 - Ted Lyons Day was held at Comiskey Park. The “Baylor Bearcat” won 260 games with the club and was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1955. His number #16 would be retired in 1987. This was the second time he was honored this way, the first time coming in 1933. This was the first game of a twin bill with Lyons getting the complete game 5-1 win on a three-hitter over Boston. The Sox would also win the second game 4-2 in 10 innings. September 15, 1954 - It was a massive change in the dugout, as "Go-Go Sox" instigator Paul Richards bolted the White Sox for Baltimore, where he would receive a three-year, 150,000-thousand-dollar pact that surpassed any of the two-year extension offers from the Sox. Replacing Richards in the dugout on this day, and signing a one-year deal to manage the team in 1955, was bench coach Marty Marion, former St. Louis Cardinals star. Marion was considered a shoo-in for the role, although ex-Dodgers skipper Charlie Dressen was considered, along with White Sox players George Kell and Phil Cavarretta. September 15, 1964 - In his first at bat in the American League after many seasons in the N.L., pinch hitter deluxe Forrest “Smoky” Burgess belted a game tying home run at Detroit. The Sox would eventually win the game 3-2 in 10 innings keeping their pennant hopes alive. Burgess would lead the league in pinch hits in 1965 and 1966. The 20 pinch hits in that 66’ season tied the big-league record originally set by Ed Coleman in 1936. September 15, 1970 - Shortly after taking over as the new director of player personnel, Roland Hemond targeted the man who’d eventually in his words, “save” the franchise. Hemond called the Cardinals “Bing” Devine to see what the chances were of making a deal for slugger Dick Allen, offering Luis Aparicio. Devine turned him down, but 15 months later Hemond would get his man from the Dodgers for pitcher Tommy John and infielder Steve Huntz. The Dodgers also wanted a young, hard throwing left hander named Terry Forster but Hemond refused to include him in the trade. September 15, 1983 - The White Sox set the franchise record for most runs scored in the sixth inning of a game when they got 11 in a 12-0 win over the Mariners at Comiskey Park. LaMarr Hoyt got the win, his 21st on the season. The game only lasted seven innings due to rain. Harold Baines had a grand slam as the Sox cut their magic number down to two for winning the division. The Sox sent 17 men to the plate in the inning which saw them get nine hits. September 15, 1990 - Owner Jerry Reinsdorf fired G.M. Larry Himes citing ‘personality differences.’ Himes drafted and signed Sox future stars like Frank Thomas, Jack McDowell, Robin Ventura and Alex Fernandez. During the press conference announcing the hiring of Ron Schueler as new G.M., Reinsdorf issued his famous ‘Point A to point B to point C’ comment. Later in a rare radio appearance he was candid on the subject to host Chet Coppock. “The fact is Larry Himes cannot get along with anybody. You can hardly find anybody in the Sox organization that wasn’t happy when Larry Himes left.” September 15, 1996 - Frank Thomas slugged his 215th home run in a Sox uniform breaking Carlton Fisk’s team record. Thomas homered three times at Fenway Park off the Red Sox Tim Wakefield yet the Sox lost the game 9-8. Thomas went 3 for 4 with three RBI’s and four runs scored. September 15, 1997 - In an 11-10 loss in Milwaukee, Sox rookies Mario Valdez and Jeff Abbott both hit their first big league home runs. Valdez got his in the fifth inning, Abbott an inning later.

Yes I kept looking at my list and thinking I missed a guy or 2 and then I was like Duh I didn't put Hagen. So turns out I missed Kay too . Thank you.

Today was Pope Leo the 14th Birthday on the 14th day of September and was gifted with a Sox win. Happy 71st Pope Bob ! May you have many more !

Magic number to win division:

We'll see but I personally think Smith and Cannon are broken beyond repair and who knows about Bush after he had another set back in his rehab.

Just got done watching the Chiefs destroy Denver. Very, VERY happy they showed some guts tonight. To keep the streak going I'll skip Tuesday as well and I'll check the score when all is said and done. Would never have guessed a six run inning off of Williams.

Also Shane Smith, Cannon, Kay, and Ky Bush.

As one unmanly and repeatedly self-beclowning poster ominously put it when we were headed in to play them in Detroit, “the Tigers are on the prowl”!

Kay also is under contract next year, right?

Even better I wasn't paying much attention in the 9th. Figured the game was over.

Who do we have left starting this series....Martin and Kay?

True. Outside of Castillo the TDL was not the downfall of the slump. The number #1 run scoring team in the league has had a lot of trouble scoring runs and Davis, Burke, Kay all have had their problem since the All Star break and TDL. The bullpen was overworked but allowed Hagen Smith to get his feet wet and is now flourishing. Maybe if the Sox can clinch the Divsion with a couple of games to go we see a start by Thorpe but the Sandlin move was the right one. I think they just want Thorpe to get stronger and be healthy and he'll get a shot in Spring training. That should be a wide open race for the starting pitching staff. Depending on any off season trades we're looking at possibly. Schultz, Sandlin , Smith, Thorpe, McDougal, Martin, Burke, Castillo or even Vasil and Taylor. Fedde could sign elsewhere but he may want to stay here where he's pitched best.

Richards*. We got Hicks, Taylor and Hudson for tomorrow
