It's cute that you think we'll need Liam in a game started by Dallas Keuchel.

Pretty excited to say I'm going to the game today unless the plane crashes or United pulls their typical delay tactics. We've pulled away from the gate and the engines appear to be getting revved up though, so fingers crossed for a safe landing and fun game. Go White Sox!

Just bring him up.

For the record, I still hate the 10th inning rule regardless if we win this game or not.

this lineup is dog shit. look at the slash lines, holy shit.

Give it up for Velasquez. He is competing and that is all you can ask.

Okay, great comeback win on Saturday night. Extremely quick turnaround though so getting this thread going the night before. We are going for the sweep and SIX in a row! Odds aren't entirely in our favor with Kuechel (1-3, 8.40 era) up against Wacha (3-0, 1.38 era). But I'm as optimistic as anyone! First pitch 10:35 CT on Sunday morning. You can watch on Peacock or NBC (not NBCSC...the actual NBC channel). Let's get a sweep!

Thank God this game is back on NBC Chicago. What a trainwreck that Apple broadcast was yesterday. We've got Dealin' Dylan Cease on the mound who is coming off the best start of his career so far. Their Sox are starting Nick Pivetta who is 0-4 with an era over 7. Our bats are heating up, so on paper we take this series today. I'd like to see less men left on base, but I'm glad guys are actually getting on. Lets extend this streak to 5!

Also, I think the scoreboard gave up when Greg said he did in the game thread.

Tony's amazing lineup construction strikes again. 0 reason why Robert shouldn't be hitting 2nd.

The fact that the best RH bench bat here is Harrison really tells us how bad our depth is right now.

Gladney destroys another one. Home run #2 on the day.

I wonder if Graveman and Hendriks will be available. They’ve pitched a ton recently. Hopefully there is an offensive explosion so their services aren’t necessary.

And his whole "I quit, no I don't, but trade me" routine too.

Hey, if a 3-game losing streak is cause for concern, then a 5-game winning streak should erase that concern, right?

Once again, it seems like the most important player on the team is Yoan Moncada. If he's close to his 2019 form, he'll be a huge catalyst to offensive improvement. Even if he's 2021 Moncada, he'll still be a nice addition back.

They are playing better than they were. This is good. They still can’t hit RH pitching. This is bad.

We still making it too close for comfort. We won’t take a walk, swinging at everything, need to be more patient. Fortunately our only walk scored in the 9th. Also we cannot hit Pollock second, he left everybody on base. He is hitting close to .100 since back from the IL.

Cody is now 5-0

BACK TO .500!!!

Reminds me a bit of what i kept hearing last season, about the fact that they will automatically turn it on, when the playoffs start.

Funny thing is, Yermin would be more fun to watch at the plate, than Sheets at DH, but sadly, the ole 'unwritten rules of baseball' will assure we never see him again.

He will not be as good of a hitter. However his defense does elevate him relatively.

CODY IS 4-0!!!!

Woah. Do you mean to tell me that decisions are made by multiple people, not just one? If it doesn't work we can't just blame a single person that's makes decisions without input from others? /sarcasm rant (not targeted at this poster)

Yes, it was just the equivalent of a Red Sox home broadcast: how can “the Sox” (as that inane play by play person kept calling the Red Sox) come back and win this? That was their sole focus. Just the icing on the cake of the worst broadcast I think I’ve ever watched. Oh well, “Sox” win, which is what matters.

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Scooter 4-0 ! Cody 4-0 Without Vaughn since his injury 4-0 ! Oops how did that get in here !

Like the mighty phoenix, we have risen from the Asches.

Two straight solid outings by VV. Would love to see actual situational hitting but I’ll take what we can get

ALL HAIL CODY! FUCK APPLE TV! FUCK BOSTON! WIN TOMORROW AND BACK TO .500!!

Between TLR driving the team bus over him and Yermin utterly failing to adjust after his hot start, I don't think we'll see him in Chicago again either. Unless they cut him loose and he happens to latch on somewhere as a part time DH.

By next Sun the weather should be heating up, and we can finally be rid of the cold weather excuse that only affected the White Sox….and not their opponents.

Luis Robert’s first 140 games feature 6.1 WAR (on pace for a 7 WAR for his first 162) with a .290/.340/.508/.848 with plenty of power (28 HR and 33 2B). Frank Thomas had 9.3 WAR over his first 218 games (1990-91, average 6.91 WAR per 162). His August of 1991 numbers were insane, just after he crossed the first 162 games played mark. For his first 140 games (all of 1990 and his first half of 1991) he had a better average / ops and (astronomically!) better walk rate but slightly worse power numbers than Robert - just 21 homers and 27 doubles and and no GG defense to boot. Who do you like better for their first 140 games? Is Luis perhaps set to become the best White Sox player ever in terms of total production over his first 162 games? Or does Thomas still have the edge? Is there anyone else in the past who comes close to these numbers?

I agree....Frank at bats were must see TV whenever possible.

The offense got going today cause of Burger's walk. Pollock really shouldn't be hitting 2nd, but I feel like TLR is gonna put Leury there again if he puts Pollock lower in the order.

Once the offense gets going this team gonna go off. Starters are so good.

Right Sox win! Right Sox win!

SUCK IT LEURY HATERS!

He’s also finished which should have been obvious to anyone watching him the second half last season.

When do we accept that this is just who they are? I’m tired of the “warm weather” narrative, won’t the other teams also hit better in warmer weather?

Both W-S games postponed.

Why would it ever NOT be: TA Luis Abreu Grandal other people

It's now the Jake Burger.

What was the point of signing Harrison if they're not going to play him?

McEwing has been one of the worst 3B coaches in recent memory. Uncanny ability to make the wrong decisions on a consistent basis.

Mike Hagerty, 67. Rudy in Seinfeld's "The Raincoat" Mr. Treeger in Friends. Peanut Vendor is Austin Powers: the Spy who Shagged Me Etc. etc.

I suspect we'll see Yolbert sooner than the ASB assuming he continues to hit in AAA and we don't see substantial improvement from Harrison.
