These two out baserunners are getting to me.

Alright!! Well executed rundown. Good coaching job.

He's got 3 option years to work out his issues. I wonder if they cycle through Davitt and Cannon before bringing up the big three.

I believe the thought is that Benintendi has neutral platoon splits, AND they could just slot Sosa or Hays as a pinch-hitter if they don't like the lefty-lefty matchup.

This is probably close to your best defensive lineup you can throw out there. Maybe Hill/Hays in LF, Vargas at 1B, Mune to DH. But the propeller-heads in the stats department like their platoon match-ups. I just hope the Marlins hit the ball closer to Benintendi today.

And now, he will start his climb towards the Hall of Fame...

Conspiracy theory - White Sox knew Paez wasn't ready, exposed him to big league hitters to broadcast that. He'll slip through waivers, then be a PTBNL in the Hicks deal.

That wasn't Acuña's fault, tho. That was his ball.

Welp, that was a nice 3rd inning. Fedde looked okay. Outfield defense did him in. I clicked out of the game on CHSN, then back in, and decided I wasn't going back to watch the 3 innings I skipped over. Sounds like Quero had himself a game. In ways. I think Pereira might just be their RF. Peters is okay as a 4th OF, but he's got to quell his CF instincts and let himself get called off. Pereira has done that consistently on close plays. Acuña's rough but could be fun if they work on his throwing. Paez looks overmatched. They'll probably look better with Baldwin and Teel back in the lineup. We can still win the series tomorrow.

I'm watching about 4 innings behind. Either should have caught that. They both pulled up, anticipating a collision. But the ball was within a foot of Acuña's mitt. I think somebody said Acuña threw a curve ball from CF. We want the prospects to play and learn in the bigs. This is what that looks like.

Peters' hand touched the glove on the replay.

I like to learn about the game from the announcers. Hawk and Wimpy were great for that. Hawk and Don Drysdale were great, too. Not just the stories, but explaining why something happens. I get none of that from Schriffen. He doesn't even ask thoughtful questions. "Green light on 2 and 0?" is just inane. With all the hate Schriff gets here, I certainly wanted to cut the guy some slack. I hate his cadence and that taunting tone. It's like acting. Don't "act". Let yourself feel the anger in a scene and be angry. I feel like Schriffen's trying to act excited instead of letting himself feel excited.

Yeah, coming into Miami with an 0-3 record, I would have liked him to have more of a reserved/subdued tone for some of these calls, kind of like, "Okay, now we're seeing what they're supposed to look like", instead of "OH NO, YOU DON'T RUN ON EDGAR QUERO!!" They just had their asses handed to them, nobody's quite ready for that taunting tone.

There's a whole crew who take a victory lap like they won the World Series with every loss, so I guess it balances out.

Get used to this:

He's already had it. You just don't realize it

It's a big step to realize he was fighting Getz's winning teachings.

You can read his lips: "Just do what Chris Getz personally taught me"...

Michael Kopech has yet to hit a grand slam.

White Sox breaking records

Not in the standings. A win is a win.
