This Josh Naylor thing with how he is continually able to kill Sox pitching makes no sense, none. The law of percentages indicates that his hitting like he does against the Sox should be WAAAY over by now, or at the least, start to tail off. But it never does; he just keeps killing whoever is pitching for the Sox and he’s been doing it over the last few years. There has to some sort of hellspawn curse that allows Naylor to hit Sox pitching like he does. Maybe Vasil should use his magic wand and do an “Arvada Ka-asshola” spell for Naylor and break his evil spell over Sox pitching.

The over/ under for Teel has now moved from June 1 to July 1. With it now being July 1, I still feel confident taking the over.

When do the Sox go north and play the Cubs. I don’t see any reason the Sox can’t hit a bunch of homers at Wrigley and win that series too.

Huge, just huge White Sox win and still three or four post on this thread alone bitching about Schriffen. Jesus . . . . this board is something else.

That and . . . . the 1st base umpire correctly ruled that Bergman swung thru on that one pitch, and the inning starts with a strikeout, like it should have.

Did you all hear what they said about Teel tweaking his knee last night. When we saw him pull it at the WBC, did anybody think the White Sox would not have Teel until, at least, June? Because that’s where we’re at.

I don’t care about Kelenic’s worthless home run last night long after the game was over. Again like last night, he struck out with a guy on 2nd and didn’t get him to 3rd. That was a huge play last night. Cost Sox a run last night, and now again tonight. He HAS to put the ball in play and move that runner.

How is this taking so long? Are they flying in another umpire?? Oh wait, finally.

Shitty Burke tonight; shitty, shitty Burke tonight.

PCA didn’t know there were already 2 outs.

I’m the opposite. I liked the black but love the red. Also, when you see other teams’ city connect uniforms, don’t you appreciate the White Sox’s ones a lot more, either ones, black or red. Some of those out there are just horrible.

I agree with this. I really believe Teel was their best bat at the end of last year.

You want to know what Chase is dreaming about, what we’re all dreaming about? A White Sox sweep and Antonacci finding a reason and a way to get into it with PCA.

Please, please, please: Good Burke tonight, good Burke tonight, Great Burke tonight!

GD it! This lineup pisses me off. Where is Pereira? He could help this lineup so much. I mean, I know; he’s on the IL. What is his deal? Is he our newest made out of glass player?

C’mon Kay. Give us another good one. We need a sweep. 🧹🧹🧹

These are good points, plus if he becomes solid by next year, he’ll also have to compete with Brooks Baldwin and B. Montgomery. But still, with his speed, he could become the everyday Sox CF. I don’t think you can give up on him.

A great Sox win. But . . . Is it only me, or does it seem to anyone else that Witt Jr. somehow seems to come up to bat every damn inning? Every time a Royal is on base, it seems Witt is either up or on deck.

You mean similar to how Vargas ended his 1st season with the Sox with a batting average of something like .093? Seriously, Vargas’s average was something like that with the Sox in 2024. I understand my take is a stretch, but the idea that it’s impossible that Acuna can/ will improve and become a quality centerfielder for the Sox for years, thinking that he can’t improve with his athletic ability, you’re just being silly.

Kyle Teel hit a HR in 4 AB today in the 1st game of his rehab assignment in Charlotte. He will DH tomorrow for Charlotte. Guessing he could be back on May 29th at home against the Tigers barring any setbacks. If Teel is back for that Tigers series and he’s healthy, the Sox will have the better lineup and the better team. Period. The last 35 or so games of last season, Teel was the best bat in the Sox lineup, not Colson or anyone else. It is very possible, even with Colson, Mune, and Vargas, that the White Sox don’t have their best bat in the lineup yet.

I goofed up, I meant to quote the Vargas 1.7 war quote when talking about how he could be MVP. Oops!

One of the radio guys was speculating that Vargas, for so many reasons, could be the White Sox MVP so far this season. Then the other one brought up Davis Martin, and the 1st one agreed it had to be Martin.

Ask that in two years when Acuna is Vargas 2.0.

It’s just a lot more enjoyable checking minor league results after a Sox win. It just is,

If this is true, it further reinforces my belief that War is a very questionable stat, especially when it comes to closers/ relievers, especially. In 2019, Alex Colomé had 30 saves in 33 save opportunities. And what was his war?? One; his war was one for 2019. Colome had 30 saves in 33 SVO and his value to that Sox team was only one win above replacement. That people blindly believe war stats and never question it, I find that (being kind here) interesting.
