Vaughn RBI triple, as the gods foretold

You either retire a hero, or pitch long enough to become a slapdick motherfucker.

Prince Harry with a hit.

How much longer is Pedro going to keep TA hitting second? TA has failed to set the table for Luis,like Benintendi is now doing leading off and taking walks. TA defense has also been poor. He failed to cover second in the bottom of the 9 th. Fortunately, we had a big lead tonight. In any game TA plays, he should be hitting in the bottom of the lineup. These actions are no brainers. IMO.

4.5 games out .... LOL

Way to come back to split the series.

I would have more confidence in this if I didn't know Lynn was about to go back out there.

He fooled Hahn lol

sweet wild pitch offense

I feel like you gotta IL Tim and give him a chance to get healthy (if that has been a factor in him underperforming). Roster moves: -TA to 10-day IL -DFA Clint Frazier (clear a 40-man spot for next move) -Select the contract of Erik Gonzalez for backup IF (if Sosa is still out) or Nate Moundou (a left-handed hitter) for lineup balance -Recall Colas

What's the shame is, as Tim struggled he could have been more humble and less arrogant during his struggles at the plate. If he would have kept his mouth shut and just told the media and fans he was trying his best and will continue to do so, then maybe we would have more time to reflect on the good years Tim gave us.

I'm as puzzled as anyone. But benching a former batting champion for a guy with a career 700 OPS in the minor leagues is not a no brainer.

When it really comes down to it, Anderson shouldn't be in the lineup at all. He hasn't hit all season, and his head isn't in the game. His drop off is amazing. I don't know what is going on with him, but his career is in real jeopardy. Elvis can't hit, but he'd give you more than this. There should be some kind of intervention with Anderson because he is falling apart.

Kind of like they're one of the few teams in baseball that would never consider moving Yoan Moncada to another position.

During the game I mentioned that LRJ's homer reminded me of one he hit last year to about the same spot. I took a look at the box score for that game exactly a year ago, and it's actually uncanny. Other similarities between these two games besides the twin HRs: The White Sox win in Anaheim on June 28th, scoring 11 runs on 17 hits and 4 walks. Barria and Loup pitched for the Angels. Multi-hit, multi-RBI game for Seby. 3 hits for the Sox starting 1B. Sox 2 hitter went 0-5 with a BB and run scored. The Sox SP gave up two solo shots in a 3 batter span. Only one GIDP in the game, both hit into by TA. I could go on, but once I noticed the first thing, I started to worry that I entered some kind of time loop ?

In the college World Series they had starting pitchers going 150 pitches. I am sure there was no pitch count. However, I would be concerned about arm injury at that many pitches. But it can be done. In MLB back in the day starters went longer and there were many complete games.

With all the struggles this year, I still feel with exception of Benintendi, he's our best guy in terms of not giving at bats away. I wish the average were higher, but he's flailing a lot less out there than most Lineup tomorrow night should be Benintendi Vaughn Robert Jimenez the rest

Vaughn showcasing the wheels. He is a five tool player. ?

SPEED DONT SLUMP

Luis Robert is everything that I had hoped he would be..

When you are hitting about .150, you don’t have many opportunities to flip your bat.

Time to bring back Colas.

Seby is pissed

This strike zone is gigantic.

It’s been real, Clint Frazier. ✌️

That strike 3 swing by Grandal was pathetic.

Remillard 881 ops and on the verge of getting the Leury extension...

Merkin's offseason puff piece on Remillard was prophetic... second in OPS lol.

Good one. 100% a potential Rick Hahn target this coming off-season

As bad as Lynn has been, it still has to be Keuchel.

You cant possibly bring him back, and at the same time who is going to pitch for this team next year? What a dumpster fire.

I remember the days when we thought the rotation would be made of some combination of Gio, Rodon, ReyLo, Kopech, Cease, and Dunning.

Not sure who's gonna have the worst exit in their careers, Shields, Keuchel, or Lynn. But all very similar and ugly.

He’d get it if it was a hamburger

To be fair, you don't want a well done Burger.

When Tim Anderson is traded or does not resign with the Sox, -10000 odds he bad mouths the organization & fans in some corny podcast, article, etc.

Hey look....TA in the 2 hole again today, who would have thought? BTW, TA is showing to be a ROARING success in the 2 hole...

Burger is down to a 113 wRC+ and over the last 30 days is hitting 182 and rocking a 234 OBP and a 600 OPS. Frankly, it looks like he was a flash in the pan and has been figured out. Nice story, but a hot 4 weeks doesn't make a season or career. On this sad sad team he stood out for a minute but now he's hitting like a poor man's rob deere.

My brothers response, after hating this man for his entire career

Deal not awful on paper / not good. But the direction is awful unless they get a legit point guard and one or two good shooters.

There is absolutely no way that TA's off field issues aren't the main reason for his on field performance. Those of you who are married know exactly what I am talking about. I am kinda shocked his wife hasn't filed for divorce yet but she is probably been told to wait until after he is traded and signs a new contract. He is the typical Narcissist in that he doesn't put the entire blame on himself for his insanely bad choices.

TA is really close to breaking out of it....Jason and Gordon assured us of that last night.

Cleaning up after my two dogs in the yard. Scraping burnt food off a pan. Cleaning the bathroom toilet the day after White Castles lunch and Taco Bell dinner

How Anderson is not moved down and Remillard moved up shows that this organization is beyond screwed up. How he is catered to is amazing. I don't know what Remillard is or will be but I know they stick with players that are beyond awful for much longer.

He'll figure it out one day and be his old self. Just have confidence. If you don't like the lineup see Jerry.

We should worry more about the Guardians than the Twins.

Who let you out of the basement?

I don't know what the next month will look like for Cease, but I will definitely listen on him if I were to get an offer with a strong return. The potential of having a guy for 3 postseason runs instead of 2 should make him far more valuable, and in the offseason teams needing pitching will be more likely to just splurge on a free agent like Giolito rather than make a big trade. Robert is more challenging. He is about to make his first all start team, and he is under control for 4.5 years! A team trading for him right now would be acquiring the guy for up to 5 postseason runs. The value of this player is so high that it's hard to fathom anyone actually putting the price on the table he would require. The Juan Soto trade, for example, was for a guy who would be under Padres control for 1.5 years, only 2 postseason runs, and he returned several top 100 prospects along with guys who were recent dropouts/graduates from the top 100 and a recent draftee. Robert isn't on Soto's level, but he's cheaper and under control for so ungodly long. Could anyone imagine what "twice Juan Soto's cost to the Padres" would look like on paper? We're talking about what, 4 top 100 prospects and more beyond that? The cost for Robert is so high based on the years of control that it is difficult to see anyone meeting it. Most teams simply can't. The handful who have that amount of talent probably wouldn't do so.

doesn't help when the three of your top four prospects didn't see game action until practically June
