South Side Hit Men

It's a shame Liam Hendriks wasn't available to pinch run for Luis Robert to start the Bottom of the 12th.

There is still time to restore Cody Asche to the Soxtalk Banner, and reverse the White Sox' 2022 Fortunes. https://www.mlb.com/video/asche-s-two-run-double-to-right-c1352023183

The Braves have a GM who acquired 2.5 bWAR (Aug/Sept) at the deadline: Jorge Soler (1.4 bWAR), Adam Duvall (0.6 bWAR) and Eddie Rosario (0.5). The White Sox have a GM who spent a lot more in terms of ca$h and prospects (Pilkington, Heuer, Madrigal) for a net negative 0.1 bWAR at the deadline: Cesar Hernandez (Negative 0.7 bWAR), Ryan Tepera (0.6 bWAR) and Craig Kimbrel (0.0 bWAR). The previous deadline, the Sox GM acquired Yolmer Sanchez (0.3 bWAR) and Jarrod Dyson (-0.1 bWAR), and left his available starting pitcher count at two for the upcoming playoffs (Giolito and Keuchel). Expecting Rick Hahn to "shore up" anything will lead to disappointment. Still hasn't shored up RF or 2B over several seasons.

Gene Lamont, 1995 258-210 .551 Winning Percentage (6th best in team history). 1993 AL Central, 1994 AL Leader until Jerry and his puppet Bud cancelled the season. Gene Lamont was replaced by Terry Bevington. That sums up this organization in a nutshell.

Zero fundamentals. Zero discipline. Zero accountability.

"Miss me yet? Always remember, my boys didn't quit."

Steve is beginning to crack, perhaps Jerry gave him an opening like Jerry did when he wanted to dump Ricky for Tony in July 2020.

"Do you know what the percentages are of scoring when a runner is on third versus when they are on second. Easy decision, would do it again."

Stupidist play of the week. Luis Robert to Intentionally walking Trea Turner with a 1-2 count "Hold my beer."

Bullpen cam.

Texas plan. Get Abreu out. Intentionally walk Burger Pitch to Tony's shit.

$95M on the three Free Agents signed the past two seasons (Hendriks, Graveman and Kelly), and this doesn't count Kimbrel.

Projected Monday Starter is Chase Boykin.

Remaining options: Graveman (second inning) Hendriks (appears to be unavailable) Ruiz (second inning? LOL) Foster Lambert Cripple Crick Suckfest Sousa Cease (already warmed up) Giolito (started yesterday) Tony selects the beer, but of course.

And has Big Energy!

But, but the fans just don't understand. Give him another decade, he will surly deliver "Multiple Championships" to White Sox fans.

Tony is always 3 steps behind everyone else. He's pretty much out of it after 2 PM each day. Sundown syndrome.

Remaining options: Graveman (second inning) Hendriks (if available) Perhaps Liam is not available so Ruiz Lambert Cripple Crick Foster Sousa (Suckfest) Cease (already warmed up) Giolito (started yesterday)

White Sox Cesar Hernandez > White Sox Josh Harrison

Big Energy Time.

Could be the highest "must score" of the season this inning. Remaining options: Graveman (second inning) Hendriks (if available) Ruiz Lambert Cripple Crick Foster Sousa (Suckfest) Cease (already warmed up) Giolito (started yesterday)

"And secondly, there is a difference between being asleep at the wheel and passing out at the wheel. I would challenge passed out. " (2:50 in)
