South Side Hit Men

One team plays great defense. We cheer for the other one.

Catch you after Kimbrel does something bad.

It's what he can catch.

Fuck you Tony, sit in the clubhouse and let a cognizant human being make the calls.

Loaded for Gurriel. Not ideal.

Pull him NOW.

And he's not nearly as smooth as Thom.

Listening, seeing the pitches on statcast, Eloy really chased in that at bat, not a single strike.

Glad Len and DJ aren't making slavery references on the White Sox broadcast. These crusty fossils need to go back to their bars and basements and stay there.

Dusty alert and trying to win now. Ethan better have someone up and ready to start the 5th. Fear Tony is going to fuck around trying to get a "win" for Lucas if the Sox score one plus more, and leave him in if there is trouble.

Yes!!! Tied with Pito up. Got to get them now before Dusty takes Valdez out.

Eloy is the only member of the core I'd consider. Health liability, doesn't want to DH, can't play defense. Nice luck there for the Sox, time to take advantage.

I don't think anyone here is blaming Lucas, just recognizing he can't do everything. The Sox have $40M + and two high 1st round draft picks invested in the bullpen. Time for them to do what they are here to do.

You need to warm someone up NOW. Giolito nearing 80 pitches and is lacking command with the lineup about to flip to 3rd time through.

That hurts, at best Altuve leads off the 5th.

Tony shouldn't have sat him the final week (one start) if he planned on playing him in the playoffs. How are you supposed to have timing, trying to get out of a September slump, with 10 days off?

It's beyond bad luck at this stage, they have zero extra base hits after 12 innings. If they don't start cranking doubles and homers now, Bob Gibson would have trouble winning.

Until Jerry is gone, either literally or steps down like he did with the Bulls, nothing will ever change. If he's here another decade, Hahn gets at least one more rebuild. Unfortunately, teams don't give up prospects as they did when he sold off every solid player inherited from Kenny.

He's fucking zero this series. Zero point zero. That is what he is doing for now. Well besides letting ever other slider go by.

Career .577 entering today.

Jose calls the shots, wants the best hitter possible for protection. Doesn't matter if he is sick and should be sitting, he does what he wants and Tony jokes about it. Waiting for a manager to lead this team, hopefully they will hire one before the window closes.

Fuck me, nothing.

Unfortunately the Sox have a half dozen of those.

Catch the fucking ball.

Conway was one of my keys today, has a tight zone in general and really squeezed Lucas his only start behind the plate this season, even though Lucas was totally on and in command. Really could have used yesterday's ump today, Lucas could be flirting with a no hitter.
