Did you just mix and match first and last names of former A’s players, or are those actual members of the White Sox?

Thanks for posting this. Good stuff. @Y2Jimmy0, was it you who said Carlson is the better prospect, without question, back when we drafted him? I recall somebody saying that.

Everyone should be thanking YOU. Phenomenal job every year with these threads.

Barons up 5-0 after 4. McDougal is dealing. Zero hits, zero walks, and 6 K’s through 4.

That’s great news. Love it.

Brutal loss for the Barons. Blew a 6-0 lead and lost 8-6.

That’s awesome. I knew he had a solid year, but I didn’t realize it was that good. Also nice that he got a taste of A+ ball and put up a cool 1.020 OPS in those 11 games.

Yeah, that’s why it’s so unique. I wonder if it has ever happened since the rule change.

When’s the last time you’ve seen a team enter the 9th up by one run, use three different pitchers in the inning, and walk away with a victory without giving up a run?

Update: At the start of the year, I told myself the Sox need to win 5 out of every 16 games to get to 50 wins (and then they’d still have two games to spare). So I will break the season into ten different 16-game chunks. I’ll update every time we finish another 16 games. Here are the results: 4-12 5-11 5-11 7-9 4-12 7-9 10-6 3-13 10-6 Total: 55-89, on pace for 62 wins.

Why is nobody mentioning that Hagen pitched tonight? 4 IP, 2 ER, 7 K (nice), 4 BB (not nice)

Yeah, you mentioned that 5 comebacks in a row hadn’t been done since 1986. I was just adding that the 6 comebacks in a row had never been done in franchise history.

And that’s the first time they have ever won 6 in a row where all 6 were comeback wins.

24 games to get that last win. I’ll see you soon aboard the victory train.

I cheered on the final out and my 9 year old son said, “You’re so dumb. You should have bet a hundred thousand dollars on it.”

I did it! I did it! 50 wins!!!

Speaking of pitching and the offseason, what’s the plan for Vasil next year?

The time has come to bump this thread. I am officially one win away. I know some people thought I was flushing money down the drain, but it feels good to have 25 chances to get that last win. If I do win, it’ll probably buy me two or three beers at the next game I attend. Maybe even a hot dog. P.S. This was a fun thread to read through, eight months later.

@Flash I saw you started a new thread, so I figured you’d be interested in reading this one.

Definitely looks more like he did early in the year. It would be great if he can be a strong part of the rotation for the next few years.

This has to be some sort of record, right?

I seem to recall a Michael Taylor double or homer or something to tie it once, but I’m pretty sure we lost in extras anyway.

Haha, I appreciate it. And I love Tauchman. Great addition this year.

Well yeah, that too. I was attempting to be funny.

Ha! You beat me by a second with video evidence.
