No. Doesn’t he have the best fwar of any 2nd basemen in the AL? I thought I saw that, either on a telecast or on this board?

So, is Newcomb coming out or do you let him get a couple/ few more outs in the 4th?

Probably more than the entire rest of the team, if Benintendi has bad contact and knows he’s an out, you’re gonna hear a loud F-word from the onfield microphone. He does it all the time, really loud and really clear.

I’m pretty sure when the Sox were heading into that gauntlet, the consensus on this board was that if the Sox finish it losing only a couple games to .500, we’d gladly take that. Some felt if Sox got out of it even one game over .500, that would be fine. And what do our White Sox do? They go 6 and 5. It is great to be a White Sox fan right now.

Yes!

Because Taylor is available?

Braden has looked overmatched vs. major league pitching for the last week. I’m afraid the Sox are back to not having a right fielder.

Absolutely no surprise that the ruling was in the Yankees favor.

Is it bad offense or a huge strike zone for the Yankee pitcher? The strike zones does not look the same for both teams. It is obvious or else that strike zone square from center field is off.

I don’t understand why Venable is not filling these umps ears. They seems to be doing everything they can to help the Yankees.

Wasn’t there a post on here, a few weeks ago, that Quero was the worst in the MLB on ABS challenges?

I agree: this is the 2nd game in a row where the Sox and Yankees have two different strike zones.

Braden’s offense has fallen off a cliff.

I think Rodon has been more lucky than good the 1st two inning. I think the Sox are gonna get to him. If Kay can get through five innings only giving up 4 runs, I think the Sox will be in it. But I think Kay is gonna give up 7 or 8.

Terrible challenge by Quero there.

I thought, once he calmed down, he looked good. Probably the only good thing about last night.

People freaking out about what Benintendi getting $18 million. The Dodger are paying Kyle Tucker $60 million year and his offensive stats are not as good as Beni's. It's sunk cost, the Dodger might as well DFA Tucker.

Man, this type of pessimism is a drag. Once at home, I expected them to win every game of the Atlanta series. I thought we'd beat the Dodger Friday and fully expected them to win yesterday; and you know what, I absolutely expect them to win today, even more now with Hudson as a starter. Fedde has had two very good games in row. But pitching a righty against the Dodgers is tough . . . almost as tough as pitching a righty against the White Sox. Let's go Sox and beat this $400 million dollar machine.

Dammit. Get off this Cubs garbage!!!

I am sick of this nostalgia Costas stuff. Just hating it. What?? They’re showing Cubs Ryno s%*#?? Come on!!! Read the room!! I hate this s%*#!

I am hating Costas. Hating him.

My prediction for today: Vargas is going to introduce himself to the Phillies and their fans today. Six or so total bases for Miguel.

I wondered about that. It seemed to make more sense using an opener for Sandlin than for Burke. But, probably a good thing we used an opener today . . . also.

Let me be overconfident here. The way this offense is playing, if we get good or somewhat good Sandlin tomorrow, there’s a great chance Sox take this series.

The ebb and flow of a full baseball season: as Hudson has cooled off and become hittable, our other bullpen lefty Newcomb has become really super good.
