South Side Hit Men

Fathom sighting circling the game thread.

Un fucking real. And they find another way.

The infamous Ethan Katz mound visit per @wegner.

Joe Kelly is up. I know things ahead of time because of the radio delay plus Len and DJ pay attention to the game whereas Jason and Stone...

They need to get him the Win!

Also, is Liam a starter? I must have missed something. I said two starters.

I listed the four exceptions. I've liked all other White Sox players since I was cognizant of them in 1975.

"Stroman, nobody wants you."

Great baserunning by team, keep the line moving Eloy! Do it for @trayand us White Sox fans!

I've liked every player on the White Sox since David Wells except for Keuchel and two starters on the current squad, one is on the IL hopefully for the season, the other likes steak.

Stroman has an opt out after the season, otherwise is under contract for $23M in 2024, which includes his innings incentive if he pitches 38 innings the rest of the season including this game.

Can of Corn for Robert. Lynn pleased.

Tim Anderson continues to dab and dab and dab.

Tim Anderson singles on a ground ball to second baseman Nico Hoerner. Luis Robert Jr. doubles (27) on a sharp line drive to center fielder Mike Tauchman. Andrew Vaughn singles on a ground ball to left fielder Ian Happ. Andrew Benintendi walks.

Wish Remillard was hitting in this situation.

f*** you Cubs you pathetic pieces of s%*#. Beat these motherfuckers, pound them like a drum. Chase this fucking Cubs trade piece in the first. Let's Do This!!!

Tim and Robert keep raking! Keep the line moving Eloy!

Lance Lynn is Awesome!

Looks like the Cubs made a change at Catcher, I believe the other eight are the same,

Tim has 15 hits in 41 ABs plus 3 walks since the All Star Break. Glad to see he appears finally healthy and hopefully can continue to have a great second half. fWAR Post ASB 0.4 Anderson 0.3 Jimenez, Robert Jr. 0.2 Benintendi 0.1 Andrus, Grandal

I strongly believe one or both of Tim and Yoan will have good to excellent seasons next year playing for their respective upcoming FA contracts. It could be their last good year, and I'm not advocating to extend either, but the Sox will get a solid haul next July is the best case scenario.

He's a real live wire. Was thinking of this incident. Lance still listed as the starter despite the rumors.

100 + will have a bigger impact in terms of the non Reinsdorf paid media calling for his head, but it comes down to Jerry's preference to retain FO guys he likes over FO guys who can perform that he may not necessarily like as much. Hopefully the Sox will take advantage of these two months to allow younger players reasonably ready to play and assess what they have in house. Guys like Andrus, Frazer, Grandal who aren't moved at the deadline should see reduced playing time or even DFA if there is adequate coverage for the remaining two months (not the case currently at catcher without a veteran plug in claimed or received).

The angst comes from the fact this could be a persistent and possibly career ending injury if he can't recover and be effective, and the Sox' recent track record with assessing treating in season injuries. It's not the Eloy has a mosquito bite, he's sitting out 26 games to recover across three different minor league facilities to find his favorite one and keep his rate stats high type injury.

As long as Lance keeps his shirt and pants on, we will survive anything that happens.
