Are we going to watch Al Michaels vacuuming in the bottom half of the fifth?

WHY ARE WE STARTING VAUGHN AGAINST RIGHTIES

I want to see this lineup in a perfect world: SS - L. Garcia 2B - L. Garcia C - L. Garcia 3B - L. Garcia LF - L. Garcia 1B - L. Garcia RF - L. Garcia CF - L. Garcia P - L. Garcia Bullpen options: L. Garcia, L. Garcia, L. Garcia, L. Garcia, L. Garcia, L. Garcia, L. Garcia. Bench Players: L. Garcia, L. Garcia, L. Garcia, L. Garcia.

This is a very disturbing report. One of the disturbing things is that supposedly the other coaches laughed about it instead of stopping it and beating the living shit out of the pervert. The players should have stepped in also if they witnessed it. They are all sacks of shit for not doing anything.

SWEEP IT!!!

Matt Vasgersian was saying nice things about Tony LaRussa. You cancel assholes better get on that.

Ya just hate to see it.

So cool that ESPN decided to broadcast batting practice! When does the game start?

He has been our best hitter for the past month no matte what pitcher we face.

Thankfully youre not affiliated with the Sox. If Reylo was lights out for the rest of the season and another player was doing bad youd be an idiot not to give him a chance.

No position player has saved this season quite like Vaughn and he's only getting better.

Moncada's hard hit rate in the 2nd half is 49.1%. The league average is is 32.1%. I know he's been frustrating, but he also is objectively hitting into some tough luck right now

Wonder if he called Rizzo to congratulate him for getting Covid.

Vaughn last 30 games: .308 AVG .368 OBP .548 SLG

Will SoxTalk stream the lifting of Robert's Banner veil ceremony before the game? Will be the first time all six White Sox will be fully visible in the banner since last season. is this real life?

Vaughn can't hit righties.

I like Jason and Steve doing our games a lot, but this crew makes it look like we have the best play by play team of all-time.

Vaughn is the White Sox MVP this season, and he is getting better each and every game. Everyone else is in their established role. Andrew learned two new positions on the fly, started as a 22 year old, with 55 games under his belt. Carried the team in July, nothing phases this guy. He is the real deal.

You're just mad because they destroyed the keyboard nerds like yourself

White Sox have tried to cripple this guy's development this season. Brought him up skipping TWO levels, made him learn LF AND RF on the fly in the big leagues, etc. and he's answered every god damn bell. What a talent.

Wasn't there some genius here that said that Vaughn wasn't athletic and Eloy is a better fielder than him? LOL

My God, Andrew Vaughn is a fuckin ballplayer

A-rod dabbing all over Soxtalk

these announcers can suck my balls.

ABC announcers ripping the clowns who thought TLR wouldn't be able to connect with TA

“Jerry’s not going to make decisions based on what’s best for Jerry. Jerry’s gonna make decisions based on what’s best for his ball-club.” Oh, A-Rod.

this broadcast sucks so bad. jfc.

Cease is far from an ace so of course you'll feel uneasy about him in a playoff game, but take a look at what other AL contenders will be starting in a game 4 Cease is as good or better than any AL teams 4th starter. For those that might mention the Astros, please look at how Valdez, Greinke and Odorizzi pitched in July.

Every time Cease doesn't have a dominant start there's a meltdown in the game thread

Contreras 0-6, 6k this series. Ya hate to see it

Nice to see our Cuban contingent (Abreu, Vaughn, and Eloy) hanging together in the dugout.

Lamb and Sheets to have a rap battle in the clubhouse after tonight's game to see who gets to stay.

Andrew is not Cuban, can never be Cuban. Jose, Luis and Eloy are great Cubans. ?

Now I’m certain you’re just looking for attention. Dude has a .936 OPS / 155 wRC+ in his last 100 PAs against RHP. He’s probably been our best overall hitter the past month and a half. Your beef with Andrew Vaughn is very bizarre.

The biggest problem is the fans who forget that they are getting middling production constantly from the same 1 player who is playing all over the place instead of middling production from some combination of players who don't have the versatility of Leury which varies throughout the season. And the other big problem is that the Sox have had so many injuries. There's really nothing wrong with Leury. That $3M or whatever he is making to play all over the field is an excellent value and he's definitely a guy other teams would want to have. Bitching about Leury is just bitching for the sake of it IMO.

Between the game being broadcast on every ABC-TV station across the country tonight, and the Field of Dreams game getting shown on FOX on Thursday, the Sox are going to get a tremendous amount of national exposure this week. Hopefully it’s the beginning of a lot of time spent on the national stage as we journey through this competitive window.

He will collect more PAs than other UT types because he is one of the few rare **true** UT types. These days, you can be a shit backup 3B/1B/LF guy and someone will call you UT. You can have a noodle for an arm and get penciled into SS and people will call you a UT player. Leury is one of those few guys who can literally play everywhere except P and C, plus he can come in as a defensive sub, PR, and is a switch hitter with a high contact rate and a little bit of pop. He's definitely a rarity and his versatility theoretically allows a manager the roster flexibility to carry more limited types of players like Lamb, Sheets, or Hamilton for other roles.

Only at Wrigley will there be start times of Friday 1:20, Saturday 1:20 and Sunday 6:10. So backwards.

Cromulent is a word made up by The Simpsons. https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/58647/10-words-simpsons-made-famous

Adequate or OK...some people never use a simple word when a more complex one is available.

What do you mean by cromulent ?

Yasmani has been very sorely missed. Dude makes an enormous difference on this team.

I hope the other coaches who knew about this were fired as well

it's because journalism is dead. reporters are too afraid to get behind a story like this because they'll lose their access to the team

I don’t think people realize how much he helps the entire offense with his ability to take pitches. Abreu won an MVP with Grandal hitting in front of him. And he can hit righties. I think he’s worth every penny we paid him and can’t wait to have him back.

The problem is that players who are better than Leury are going to want to sign with a team where they can start. It’s not as easy as people think to grab great utility players. I think Leury is fine as a utility player, as long as he doesn’t have to play as often as he has this year because of injuries. And he has a lot of positional flexibility.

Well now we know why he went from heir apparent to unemployment.

Between this and the DV, he seems like a peach. Crazy how 75% of the fan base figured he was the manager of the future here just a few years back
