South Side Hit Men

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.

Polish-American Night at the ballpark tonight. Apparently in Detroit that calls for tequila.

Anyone who spoke with Bill Veeck over the years knows that is a complete an utter lie.

The White Sox start Lance Lynn on the hill tonight. 3-5, 10 Starts, 57 1/3 innings, 6.28 ERA, 1.592 WHIP and 67 K. In May, Lance is much improved with a 3-1 record over 4 GS and 24 2/3 IP, with a 5.11 ERA and 1.297 WHIP and 25 K. Lifetime, Lance has 11 starts against Detroit with a 7-3 record, 3.39 ERA and 70 Ks over 63 2/3 IP, though has not fared as well in Detroit with a 4.91 ERA, 1.636 WHIP and 1-2 record over 4 starts and 22 Innings. Lance's counterpart is LHP Joey Wentz sporting a 1-4 record and 7.45 ERA over 7 starts and 31 2/3 IP. Bad omen for the Sox is that this is his first career appearance against Chicago, hopefully offset by the fact he is a Southpaw. Len and DJ with the Chicago call tonight, so sit back, relax and strap it down!

The Sox are facing a LH pitcher today and will win handedly.
