Some of you need to nut up. You ain’t surviving the pennant race.

There is a God

Coop doesnt use zoom. He watched castillo on a VHS the sox mailed to his house and called Getz from a payphone at his local titty bar

I've only been here for 20+ years and never started a gamethread, hopefully I did it correctly.

Coop fixed Castillo!

Romo haters in shambles (all of us).

No word yet where he’s going, but sounds like he will still be covering the White Sox. My guess is The Athletic rehired him now that we are good. I canceled my subscription with them when they let him go, but will happily re-up if they bring him back. He is the greatest beat writer in Sox history and it’s not even close.

Bonemer with his 12th AA HR.

Thorpe: 5 IP | 3 H | 1 ER | 6 K | 0 BB | 0 HR

Jokes aside, that was actually one hell if an AB.

You're due for a victory.

We're all gonna die some day and slip into nothingness as our corpses rot in the ground.

The place was absolutely rocking tonight. A real waste of a packed house and incredibly favorable pitching matchup. Felt like a sure win.

Just a great all around game for Luis Catillo ! 10 K in 7 IP, 1 hit , picked a guy off 1st and made a beautiful glove scoop on a bunt. Great all around defense too. Antonncci diving play at 2nd base, leaping catch at the wall in LLCF by Peters playing LF with Doyle in CF. Braden also a nice diving catch in the 9th inning. Meidroth important 2 run HR in the 6th to get us from 1 to 3 run lead and another hit. Antonacci 3 hits. Murakami extended his on base streak to 27 which currently is tied for tops in the AL and longest by a Sox player since Abreu did it in 2022. Long way off from the single season record of 54 games by Luke Appling and the team record 57 game streak by Frank Thomas covering 2 seasons. Romo 1st HR in a while and another hit and a big smiles. Castillo looking right into the camera with a big smile and the 🫶 . I guess the small sample size of his 1st ever start for the Sox did not determine the outcome of his whole White Sox career. Shocker. Clueless. Meatballs.

Alright - where’s the putz who said Castillo was gonna give up the equivalent of a 7 ERA today in his start? Take the series tomorrow and then go roll on the tigers. LFG.

Reds offense would be looking awful this series if not for 3 bloop hits in a row yesterday lmfao

Castillo stuntin on these hoes with the superhero pose

Chris Getz apology thread

If this is the Castillo we get the rest of the year a lot of you will be eating sweet, sweet crow.

APOLOGIZE HATERS!

Romo again. All he does is hit.

I’m really not sure how David Clyde pitching in 1973 is an indicator that Bonemer can hit major league pitching in 2026.

Castillo tonight definitely looked like a guy you'd be happy to give the ball to for a game 2.

2 terrific starts this series, Burke and Castillo both with 7 dominant innings.

Love to see this after the bad loss last night, now get tomorrow and win the series

Had to have this one after last night. Now go out tomorrow and win the series.

He’s going to be such a stud. So amazing we have this amazing young offensive group and still have Bonemer & Roch coming.

Yeah, I mean I realize this isn't gonna be the norm every night but at least not be a blackhole at the position on the offense

Antonacci against Marinaccio

She’ll like it too?

Would be an optimal outcome if Hagen Smith could become a dependable late inning pitcher

Season high 10 strikeouts and 22 whiffs. 22 whiffs on 45 swings is ridiculous. (49%). He threw 20 changeups today, responsible for 5 of the K's and 8 of the whiffs (on 10 swings). His previous season high for whiffs on the changeup was 4 on 11 swings. Previous season high for K's on the change was 2. The last time he had 22 whiffs in a start was April 2024. 5Ks on the changeup is a career high (previous high was 4 back in 2023).

That start alone is probably worth making that trade.

There’s zero reason for Hagen smith to be in this game right now. Will strikes again.

Why are we bringing in the guy who can't throw strikes consistently in the 8th inning of a 3 run game?

His calls are unironically things you'd hear frequently in the old frat house during my college days. "LET'S GO" and "YEAH BUDDY"

What a performance! If it wasn't for a cheap hit by Stewart in the 1st, he'd have a no hitter thru 7.

Man Castillo could prove to be a masterful deadline pickup if he pitches like this down the stretch.

You are correct *rubs nipples*

Luis "how do you like me now" Castillo

There's been the same blonde girl in the dugout every game this year. Either some sort of trainer or happy ending masseuse. Not sure.

Why does this get asked so often lol it should be known at this point. Unless this is classic Ron trolling

Keep it in your pants Blago

Going to the game tonight. If we keep doing what we did last night it will be my last of the year. That was a terribly disappointing loss. Looked like a team that shut it down and tried to coast, which is not good when fighting for a division.

And don’t forget our owner is usually front and center for the owners on the other side of the table

From Sox Machine: *Hudson has an 8.31 ERA in the second half, as he's now given up 12 hits over 8⅔ innings.

Not happening. Sounds fun but don't see where he plays everyday. Also, rushing him to the majors in a season he started in A+ in the middle of a playoff race sounds like a great way to f*** up his development. Sox did not do anything bold at the deadline with their top prospects, they're still very much looking ahead to the future.

I had to temporarily turn off the ignore feature to note someone arguing with himself.
