South Side Hit Men

May as well let Lynn go 7 innings tonight, only at 70 pitches.

As bad as the Sox are, I can't believe the Sox are within 2 games of Pittsburgh, which were in first place as late as June 15.

Keep plugging away Tim, and you can escape this pisshole next week.

Could have also signed a solid SP instead of going cheap for one year and end up pissing away another $37M on a rushed mid-season extension after which he has sucked ass including the 2021 playoffs. But Tony liked him in the Cardinals organization, and Hahn wanted him even before Tony, so the bird brain trust going to bird brain.

Liam likely out until 2025, Wouldn't be surprised if Crochet is lost for the same period. Another Lance Lynn Home Run, now 7-1. Fire Rick Hahn.

Can't believe some people here were advocating for Hahn to sign Lynn in 2024.

Sheets .658. 7 ABs vs. LHP (.000 OPS), can't field. Would have been sent down or DFA'd on any legitimate contending team.

Dane Dunning $0.7M 8-2 2.82 ERA 1.111 WHIP

s%*#, the Barbie movie might be preferrable to watching a Lance Lynn start.

If they don't bunt to trigger him, this could be Twins 12 Sox 1 relatively quickly. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurants-g43323-c37-Minneapolis_Minnesota.html

Let's all remember the White Sox slotted their rotation after the All Star Break targeting this series. Lance Lynn was their choice to open the weekend. Twins 5 White Sox 1 f*** you Rick Hahn you stupid f***.

Andrew Benintendi on the first pitch makes it clear the Twins are fucking worthless bitches.

I hate the Twins with every fiber in my being. I hope the Sox sweep their miserable asses and make Rocco Baldelli cry. The Sox are sellers next week regardless, would be 13 games under .500 after a sweep. Let’s do this!

RIP Tony Bennett.

Wilbur Wood was the first White Sox player I was cognizant of, and was my first favorite White Sox player. I thought he was Superman because I was told he pitched both ends of a doubleheader. My child baseball knowledge did not factor in the fact the limited stress of his knuckleball allowed him to pitch more than other pitchers in the game. Wilbur Wood had an eight game winning streak against New York prior to Game 1. He allowed the first six baserunners to reach before being pulled. https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/NYA/NYA197307201.shtml Wilbur wasn't the planned starter of Game 2 at the beginning of the day, but between games manager Chuck Tanner decided he would be the best option to start the second game. Wilbur sent the first nine Yankees down in order before the White Sox committed two errors in the bottom of the fourth (infield throwing error and a second by the centerfielder on a fly ball). https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/NYA/NYA197307202.shtml All in all, 103 pitchers in MLB history started both ends of a doubleheader, with 99 occurring during the segregation era / deadball era, and four coming in the modern era: 5/20/50 Monte Kennedy (New York Giants) vs. Cincinnati 9/6/50 Don Newcombe (Brooklyn Dodgers) vs. Philadelphia 5/26/71 Al Santorini (San Diego) vs. Houston 7/20/23 Wilbur Wood @ New York Yankees Fans can learn more about Wilbur Wood's performance and the history of pitchers covering both games of a double header via the link below. https://prestonjg.wordpress.com/2009/09/12/a-thorough-account-of-pitchers-who-have-started-both-games-of-a-doubleheader-in-the-major-leagues/

I believe where they are at is what is the proper diagnosis. If Tommy John surgery is required, he is out until 2025 at this point with the typical 15 month recovery time.

Liam’s high in latest bullpen session was 93.8, down 1.7 MPH from his low average 95.4 MPH average over five appearances this season. https://www.si.com/fannation/mlb/fastball/injuries/chicago-white-sox-injury-updates-on-liam-hendriks-and-mike-clevinger Better news on the Clevinger front, though wish the situations were reversed and we would never see Mike, not Liam, pitch again for the White Sox, or for that matter anyone in the United States. Wish he joined Trevor Bauer in Japan or Yermin Mercedes in the Mexican League.

Will never forget the night we chipped in to rent a suite, and laughed out asses off when the soon to be fired Joe Stephen taunted Chuck Finley with Whitesnake’s Here I Go Again after Tawny Kitaen RIP was arrested for kicking his ass earlier in the week. https://www.espn.com/page2/s/caple/020424.html

Hard to fault Tray’s optimism and support of Eloy. That is what fandom is about. I like players not living up to expectations like Vaughn, Tim and Zavala. Eloy seems like a great person, just hope one day he can put it all together either here or elsewhere. Hoping Kim Ng still likes him and they can reach a deal this off-season, as her team is second oldest in the MLB and can use quality younger players.

Liking the Sox extending relievers like Bummer, Santos this season. Would like Lopez to be stretched out, perhaps as a starter in 2024.

No, if he starts this weekend he will get pounded this weekend. Not a single member of the team forgot what he done to the team and his teammates.

Pounding Dallas Keuchel into oblivion would have been sweet.
