South Side Hit Men

True, but Veeck’s circus was fun for fans. Jerry’s Circus began when he replaced inherited Roland Hemond with Hawk Harrelson as Jerry’s first executive hire, and continues to this day with crony family friend’s son Rick Hahn in the seat. The Sox went from the Andy The Clown Era to the Pennywise Era under Jerry.

Yes, but the climbing has got them within 6 games behind being in the Top Third of The MLB. Over 6 Games in Front (9): Arizona, Atlanta, Baltimore, Houston, Los Angeles A. L., Los Angeles N. L., New York A. L., Tampa Bay, Texas. 1/2 - 1 Games (4): Cincinnati, Colorado, Saint Louis, Washington. 1 1/2 - 2 Games (2): Chicago N. L., Cleveland. 2 1/2 - 3 Games (3): Detroit, Philadelphia, San Diego. 4 1/2 - 5 Games (4): Miami, Minnesota, San Francisco, Seattle. 5 1/2 - 6 Games (5): Boston, Milwaukee, New York N. L., Pittsburgh, Toronto. Behind (2): Kansas City, Oakland.

White Sox Starter is Jesse Scholtens, who has pitched well but has an 0-2 record. Jessie has a 2.25 ERA and 1.250 WHIP in three appearances over 8 innings in this his rookie White Sox season. Jesse gave the Sox 5 innings of 1 run ball in Cleveland, but took the loss as the White Sox were shut out. The Tigers counter with 2023 acquisition Michael Lorenzen, with a 2-2 record and 4.08 ERA over 7 starts. He has 31 strikeouts over 39 2/3 innings, but has only allowed 11 walks to keep his WHIP at 1.210. Michael faced the White Sox over 3 starts and 3 relief appearances, and has a 1-0 record despite a 1.657 WHIP.

White Sox Whup Ass Supercut

Four hits for Tim tonight, .604 OPS and climbing.

Scholtens was great last game, Cease is one of the best pitchers in baseball, and Rodriguez is LH. Sox likely face Canning (RHP), Anderson (LHP) and Detmers (LHP)

Need to win both, and then b**** slap the Angels.

Even Vaughn's outs were impressively hit balls. Robert the lone White Sox without a hit, but still contributed with a walk and run.

That guy is going to be too good. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_gSfriALPiA

Nice quality start today by Lance Lynn after digging deep a few times to get the 4-5 outs needed to get out of trouble. #DefenseMatters

Yesterday - Yolmer Sanchez Today

First three triple game for the Chicago White Sox since September 9, 2017 vs. the Giants. Tim has reached three times so far, 2 runs his previous two appearances. Yesterday - 3B: Yolmer Sanchez (7, off Josh Osich); Tim Anderson (4, off Roberto Gomez); José Abreu (5, off Roberto Gomez). Today - 3B: Benintendi (1, Wentz); Frazier (1, Wentz); Moncada (1, Englert).

We thank him for his service. So it is written, so it shall be done.

Look, people can have whatever opinions about Veeck they want, but it's inaccurate for Elson, who Veeck spoke highly of through Elson's death. was obsessed about money. He literally saved the Chicago White Sox after 1975, and the only legitimate sales attempts were first to DeBartolo, and after the scumbag AL owners rejected that, to the Brooklyn clique. He received an offer from a Denver oilman in 1979, but never entertained it. https://www.nytimes.com/1979/10/10/archives/veeck-denies-plans-to-sell-white-sox-not-on-the-agenda.html Veeck brought a pennant here in his first season, sold for health reasons a couple years later recovering from the war injuries suffered over three years in the Marines during World War II, including leg amputation and 36 surgeries over the years. Hope everyone who wanted Veeck gone has enjoyed the past 43 seasons of their "High-Class Operation".

He's 25, in his first season at an actual appropriate position. If he doesn't improve over the next 2-3 years, I'm with you. Players reach peak performance at 27-28. And while RBIs are lineup dependent, the Sox can use hitters who hunker down and knock runners in, especially with two outs like Vaughn delivered. Is there anyone you like on the team? Anyone you think is actually good at baseball besides possibly Robert? Sox don't have depth, but they do have a dozen players that are solid baseball players, with Robert being the best overall, and a good staff and bullpen that is rounding into form. They need to prove it in June against stronger teams, but these were the teams the Sox were losing against the past two seasons, so it's nice to see them not sink to the level of their competition. White Sox still up 4-1 heading into the fourth.

Leads team in RBIs. 1 for 1 with a double run and RBI. Does not compute.

It's criminal there are no Twitter clips today because of the Apple broadcast, but the White Sox website has a few. https://stories.mlb.com/live/718021.html

Sox keep pouring it with two outs. Robert out again, but it's now White Sox 4 Detroit 1.

Lot of flukes this inning, ball in and out of Benintendi's glove, Vaughn almost doubling up Baez, Moncada mishandling the ball. Out of the inning with 1 run. Lance needs to settle down, but the Sox also need to keep adding.

Powder River!!

And Vaughn delivers against the Lefty, nice to jump up 1-0. Would love Grandal to get these two runners home.

Tim starts the game off right. Keep the line moving.

AJ Hinch is away attending his daughter's graduation. Mod request - Can you pin the game thread? Thanks!

Handedly was my intent, but not for those reasons. Rather their preference to face LH pitchers. @Quin- Can the game thread for today be pinned and this one archived?

Talk about fake news, how is not having enough money the equivalent of caring only about money? It’s the opposite, he poured everything he could to keep the team viable in Chicago. Then Veeck tried to get an Italian owner here who would keep the team in Chicago and build championships like he did with the 49ers. Who did the Anti-Italian and Anti-Catholic bigots in the MLB owner and press boxes across America support? Oh yeah, the current owner who worked to flee Chicago a couple years later. Turn to today, and these same bigots in ownership and media are promoting anti Catholic bigot groups that perform lap dances and dry hump crucifixes the game after the Sox leave Los Angeles, and have for decades pimped anti Native American racist s%*# in Atlanta and Cleveland. Bill Veeck gave this ungrateful fraud his last job in television. Reinsdorf promptly fired his ass and he spent his final days talking on radio to a 1 or 2 AM radio share, aired between ads for Heavenly Bodies and other Chicago area strip clubs and blue penis pill ads on The Score.
