Kopech with a nice start , 7 IP ,3H , 2R , 9K ,1 BB

Burger has to be in the starting lineup every day. I don't care where he plays, his bat has to be in the lineup every day.

its amazing what can happen when you make the pitcher throw strikes

There is no patience in the game today. Not only batters but management and especially fans want big hits and they want them now. Walks don't get hurrahs. You gotta swing in order to hit the ball. Team play is gone. The little things are laughable. Only the big splash gets you the acclaim and money.

It's also a bunch of stiffs trying to pin their failure on someone else. Fulmer has been let go by how many teams? Will no one let him long toss? I saw Clevenger long tossing before the game Friday.

Twins next embark on the Rays and Jays road trip. Those teams are not as hot as when the Sox saw them, but this could be the moment when the Central has no teams above .500.

Undefeated in June.......

I ain't fricken playing 2nd... Let's go home. Great approach against lange today

If TA was hustling he might have beat it out.

That is why we should not play Eloy in the outfield!

So if Burger takes the walk like he should have, this game is tied! These are the little things that kills this team.

This thread is way more interesting than anything team related at the moment.

A sweep would be nice. A struggling left hander seems like a good recipe for success. The only thing I worry about is the team for the last almost 2 full years, seems to usually be really flat in these situations, like winning the series was enough. It isn’t enough.

I did too and Pedro better wake up. The sweep was nice and seeing Hendricks pitch that awesome top 9th inning was the 2nd best moment in the game, other than the Burger slam.

This is par for the course for this incompetent, dysfunctional and inept organization.

That’s 59-40, I’d love to see it but they’ve been a .500 team now for almost 2 years. The pitching is coming around except for Lynn but the hitters really have to start producing on a regular basis to have a chance of a Division title.

I like that the Sox listened to the coaches as Lange doesn’t throw strikes. Walks are as good as hits.

How sweep it is

I think Liam’s back ?

You look at this Tigers line-up vs ours, starter match-up ... Tied going into the 9th? Obviously.

Carson fulmer implied that white sox player development Ruined him

TLR created a monster last year when he told them not to hustle on ground outs.

Elvis is toast

Nice outing from Kopech. Even the pitch he gave up the homer on wasn't that bad.

TA's lack of hustling down the line cost them the lead.

only took four straight baserunners to get one run

look on the bright side, we don’t have to worry about watching him play 2B now

You are describing a bad baseball team.

That they suck!

Grandal so bad

Robert was breaking it down going into 3B lol he was out by a mile with a good throw

Remember when this team used to kill LHP? Those were the days!

As we've known for several years the White Sox are one the worst teams in baseball in plate discipline. 2023 league stats Chase% Swing % 1st Pitch Swing % 33.3 - 30th 49.7 - 30th 32.4 - 25th This pathetic lack of plate discipline in turn causes these horrible offensive stats: BB% BB%+ BB/K% OBP OBP+ 6.6% - 30th 77 - 30th 0.29% - 30th .296 - 30th 93 - 30th The fact it hasn't gotten any better, confirms as we've known for awhile...the GM, manager and coaching staff have done little to nothing to create a specific plan to improve this problem. Additionally, the players obviously don't care enough and are probably not sitting down and watching any or little tape of their AB's with the hitting coach. This starts at the top with Pedro who is over his head. He obviously is not making this a mandatory concern and project of making the players watch tape of their AB's and getting in that new batting machine that creates the off-speed secondary pitches. The worst aspect of this dysfunctional front office, is the fact it exposes how inept the White Sox organization is regarding their scouting and development process and philosophies on hitting and plate discipline! The fact the White Sox keep drafting, trading for, or signing FA players with this terrible lack of plate discipline is a huge problem.

nah man its not that simple... good teams still know not to swing at every pitch. For example, the dodgers have a 23% chase rate ... best in baseball The white sox have a 33% chase rate. the worst in mlb.. the sox also lead the league in swinging in general. basically they have a losing, undisciplined approach at the plate that has been allowed to fester for about a decade.

I always new this was a record breaking team!

Peregrine falcons tend to come around in Spring and seem to like tall buildings in absence of actual cliffs. Maybe they're nesting lower this year for some reason. I wonder if they're more prevalent this year in general, the Field Museum monitors them and their reintroduction program has been very successful. I'm a big fan of the guys that live atop University Hall at UIC. Part of me thinks it would be really cool if they're nesting at the ballpark, but I also worry about their safety if Zac Gallen ever pitches here.

I cherish independent book stores. It's a vacation stop in every town.

Books are there, Bezos won't be. https://www.powells.com/

I would like one of the catchers.

Ok lets do it!

If you watched that game and took that from it, you can't enjoy baseball.

The Tigers are rebuilding they SHOULD be worse. The White Sox remember are supposedly in the middle of a contention window planning parade routes. ?

Murderers Row of Robert, Eloy and Moncada 0 for 12 with a bunch of Ks.

If I had a nickel for every time the Sox won on a walkoff wild pitch with TA up to bat in the last year, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice. The previous incident was facing the A's last year.

New ownership is the light. And it will happen eventually. Just take care of yourself and hope to be around to see it.

and this has WHAT to do with sinclair?

that's a lie from manfred. they could have fixed it years ago. they enjoyed making money off the extra innings and mlb.tv packages, as well as making the national packages worth more due to blackout restrictions.

well, according to this press release ( http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/news/artic...ws&c_id=cws ), the sox have indeed slashed full season ticket costs as high as 31%. are you calling brooks a liar?
