What a large fucking win. Down 2 runs with two outs and nobody on against one of the best closers in the game, and we got it done.

Jose can’t move. Do you pinch run Leury?

Can’t believe Haseley is about to hit a walk off two run bomb.

Because Martin is a better pitcher?

That’s why I said the lead off walk was not ideal. But he made good pitches after that and got EXTREMELY unlucky. And he had the second guy struck out, based on what this ump has been calling all game. I understand the frustration. And I think it’s human nature to try to place blame when things go wrong, but I don’t believe Martin or Tony’s decision to put Martin in are blame worthy. P.S. I want Tony gone. Get him the fuck out of here.

And then pitched great against the next three batters (not counting the bunt).

I don't even understand why this is a conversation. Martin pitched well! He did his job and got really unlucky on three ridiculous hits.

The lead off walk was not ideal, but Martin pitched great. I’m serious. Made fantastic pitches.

Unluckiest inning imaginable. Fuck.

That was the worst ball/strike call of the year. It’s even worse than the missed strike on Lynn’s pitch last night because at least with that one, the catcher was rising up to throw down to second.

What if both starting pitchers go 6 innings? Does that mean, by default, the home team has to go to their bullpen first?

Grandal? Sheets? Madrigal? (Sorry, that was three guesses)

You were saying?

Well yeah, Mendick won’t be Moncada caliber at 3B. But I was simply responding to the suggestion of Harrison at 3B and Mendick at 2B. I’d rather keep Harrison where he has been great defensively.

If he has an arm to play SS, he has an arm to play 3B.

Why not leave Harrison at 2B and have Mendick play 3B?

Here’s a link to the other thread. And perhaps a mod can move your post/question there

I’ve spent all morning thinking of a good strategy for these next two games, and I think I have it: Win both and sweep these f*cks.

Interesting. Discussing whether to DFA Harrison?

This has to be the worst performance by a home plate ump all season.

Houston blew the exact same opportunity.

I’m really pumped for this game tonight. A 5-1 trip when three of the games were in Houston would be phenomenal. Then we come back home and get TA back.

The five days could just be because of the rehab stint rules.

Way to step the f*ck up, @Chicago White Sox. Needed these two wins. Has Jake Burger single handedly won 3 games for us in the last couple of weeks?

What a huge win!! I’m in Greece right now with minimal connection to the real world, but this could be a really large win.
