South Side Hit Men

You said it man. Nobody fucks with the Jesus.

No win streak game thread starter. No win streak manager managing. It was not meant to be.

Could of used Gallo, Hahn. Thanks

They seriously would have been better off pulling an Ohtani and letting Cease hit for himself.

It’s a shame Vaughn didn’t start to get Goodwin and Lamb’s futile LH bats in the lineup, one of many reasons the Sox are amongst the worst in one run games.

Crony manager begets crony Shelly Duncan “strategery”.

Prepare for the wrath of Hahn.

Surprised Tony is not pinch running for Eloy.

But can Andrew bunt?

If I’m the Yankees, I walk Robert and take my chances with Lamb or a PH.

Crochet with the KKK. Tony is pleased .

Surprised Tony is rolling the dice with Crotchet, with a 10th inning a distinct possibility.

From MVP to GIDP

Who thought in early May Madrigal and Eaton would be long gone, with Lamb and Goodwin still here and starting in August?

Three hits. Two runs. All by right handed hitters. #FreeAndrewVaughn

How about "velocity is up"? All of Cease's pitches are up between 0.3-1.2 MPH to start the game. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/gamefeed?date=8/14/2021&gamePk=632898&chartType=pitch&legendType=pitchName&playerType=pitcher&inning=&count=&pitchHand=&batSide=&descFilter=&ptFilter=&resultFilter=&hf=playerBreakdown#632898 His fastball spin rate is down over 100.

Already miss Miguel Cairo. Hope he returns to close out the season. OPS Last Seven Days Vaughn .976 Lamb .533 Goodwin .374 OPS Last Twenty Eight Days Vaughn .847 Goodwin .656 Lamb .533

To me, it's the 20 pages of posts each game bitching about strikes/balls against the TV box which may or may not be accurate, and pitch framing. So much more enjoyable watching the game without the box like Thursday, or listening to games where they may mention something blatant but otherwise focus on the game and not the umpires, or cheating the umpires (pitch framing). Will be so happy if they automate the zone next season, let the focus be on the game itself.

Can't wait until balls and strikes, perhaps other aspects, are finally automated. With the White Sox' racial composition, this explains the consistent underperformance of White Sox calls on umpire scorecards.

First season all in on Everton, after boycotting Liverpool until John Henry and the rest of the Fenway Group scum no longer own the club. It will likely be a very long time. Everton faces Southampton in just over an hour.

An administrative court hearing, scheduled for up to four days or August 19, regarding the extension of the court ordered temporary restraining order against Trevor Bauer is scheduled to begin Monday. Possibilities of next steps by MLB are laid out in the article linked below. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/latest-extension-of-trevor-bauers-leave-could-create-an-issue-for-rob-manfred/ar-AANhTuy
