South Side Hit Men

Nice play, almost got him at third.

WTF, another ninth inning hbp in the foot

Andrew Vaughn shouldn’t start against Righties.

Would like to see Hamilton in defensively to end the game, shift Goodwin to RF.

Of the season.

Tony happy, Hendriks save opportunity in place. Time for the push button Birr Bummer Hendriks.

Marshall in, Tony trying to get Hendriks a save opportunity.

Time to cut bait, no sense punching it with this lead, the heat, the delay. Visions of the Detroit game where Tony couldn’t tell that Lucas was gassed still haunt me.

Ah, not a knock on Lucas. Their starter sucked ass. Their baserunning sucked ass. Their hitters sucked ass.

God do the Twins suck ass.

Actually, he was overpaid for past performance. That generally is how FA works. https://www.fangraphs.com/players/dallas-keuchel/9434/stats#value

Yes, to summarize: Phase One: Collect Underpants Phase Two: Trade Rodon, Lynn and Keuchel. Trade Yoan and Madrigal, demote Vaughn and Yermin. Start Lamb, Goodwin and Luis Gonzalez everyday against RHP. Phase Three: Profits / World Series

Kyle "Not Worth The Squeeze" Schwarber did it again. #FreeBritney

Per Cots Contracts, he needs 320 IP combined in 2021-2022, and 160 in 2022, and also needs to pass a physical after next season. That said, he’s doing what the Sox signed him for (eating up innings), pitching decent (perhaps not $18m / yr worth, but decent enough) and isn’t a health concern. Point stands there is no team currently in baseball who is willing to take on that contract in 2021 if the Sox were in fact trying to move him.

What ML team is going to take on Keuchel’s salary for the next three seasons? The Mets and Dodgers are the only two teams who don’t give a crap about the bullshit luxury tax, and they have no need for him. The Yankees, Cubs and Red Sox aren’t taking on a penny.

Lucas is on the mound, so Collins is catching. Thinking Vaughn Hamilton Sheets from left to right. Want Abreu to rest a bit, but he told Tony yesterday he’s not going to sit.

Not to mention this staff has worked for decades under Herm Schneider, who is still employed in an advisory role. This team has historically had one of the best injury rates in baseball. https://www.mlb.com/press-release/white-sox-announce-changes-to-athletic-training-staff-301579312

The weather should be fine tonight. Wish they would have tried to replace the game today or tomorrow, dying for baseball with three off days in eight days. https://weather.com/weather/radar/interactive/l/Chicago+IL?canonicalCityId=51327091448a763db3e0093b240009381d87952467e6c2ba8bad55f1328ec986

Welcome to SoxTalk.

Actually Tony is leaving it up to Jose according to Tony's post game the other day. Hahn needs to take charge here and have Jose rest a bit, at least a day or two, for health and performance. June isn't Willis Reed Game 7 time, it's one of an 162 game grind.

Keep in mind this is the same time Bowman's racist minor league coach in Rockford was calling their prospect the n word. Bowman and McDonough swept this abuse under the rug by first demoting Akim Aliu, than dumping him in the offseason to placate their racist piece of shit coach Bill Peters. The Blackhawks will defend their racist logo to the death, but not their players from sexual and racist assaults. A Wirtz is a Wirtz is a Wirtz. Stan Bowman whose sole qualification is pappy Scotty's sperm, yet another disgraceful crony hire in this city. GFY Blackhawks, and USA Hockey, if you don't shitcan Stan Bowman.

Tony let's the players decide, too much deference IMO. Pedal to the metal, doesn't care if everyone is dead before the season ends. Thibodeau squared.

Schwarber's 162 Game Average for Home Runs is 37, sure his current pace is 53, but not crazy considering the ebbs and flows of a season. Also within expectations, substantial injury games lost by Eaton. Hahn just had to sign him before Christmas, leaving far better options on the table.

Agreed. Regardless of whether Seattle was returning or not, cancelling Saturday in the morning was the responsible thing to do, or at least immediately after the flash flooding downtown, area tornados, and knowledge there would be rain and possible severe weather throughout the day. It should have been called early, to allow folks to stay home and not be at risk at the ballpark. Sunny and clear right now, but there is rain on the way. https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/chicago/60608/weather-radar/348308
