Katie Lou Samuelson and Coco Gauff just withdrew from the Olympics with breakthrough COVID infections. It is not only my friends. Just watch out, don’t get complacent. The virus is srill very much around.

Particularly in a game situation against a pitcher who was wild. And had walked the previous 2 batters. A walk would have loaded the bases.

I have got 3 friends that had the 2 Pfizer vaccines in February and they all got symptomatic COVID recently. I am back to wearing a mask indoors in groups. These breakthrough infections are worrisome.

Anderson also swung 3-0 in first game yesterday in a game situation against a pitcher that had walked 2 before him, and popped up. Anderson is in the game tonight.

And back to back! Why we keep going with Goodwin clean up? That doesn’t put any fear in any opponent and does not protect Abreu. Would rather go with Moncada.

Great. This the power surge that we needed to complement our starting pitching and take advantage of our homer friendly ball park.

Sheets bailed out TLR who made awful pitching decisions in the DH. Pitching Lopez and Foster in the second game after losing the first game. Not pitching Hendricks in the 8th of the first game, when we needed a strikeout and going with Crochet and Burr instead,probably because it was not a save opportunity in TLR mind. There is no save opportunity in extras when you are the home team. If you shutdown the opponent on the top of the inning in extras with the 2nd base rule, you normally win.

A return to the Sox would be likelier if Boras was not involved.

It is the main reason that the Sox have the best record in the AL.

Wow! One hit combined shut out against one of the best teams in the majors. A dominating pitching performance. Strong message sent to Astros and other top teams that Sox are indeed a top team to reckon with.

Major brain fart. Why isnt our 3rd coach telling him not to comeback to the base once Abreu is on the base.?

Glad it was not Goodwin in there.

I agree. If Astros would come back and win this game,it would be devastating. We need to show grit against top teams.

Sox base running is a team weakness.

Engel should have stayed put at 3rd in the first place, and should have stayed on the bag on the way back. Double blunder.

WhiteSox are taking over Chicago baseball scene with the Cubs in free fall and selling their stars.

Should try extending him now. Won’t be easy.

Need to win today. A comeback win by the Astros would be devastating. Worry about the weaker Twins tomorrow.

David Adler of MLB.com is comparing Rodon to de Grom. Carlos being the left handed version with devastating fastballs/slider combination. With de Grom out with forearm tightness, Carlos is probably #1 dominating pitcher in baseball active today.

I think is because Leury is a switch hitter and TLR loves lefty-righty: righty-lefty match ups.

Great pitching by Lucas and a power surge is a formula for victory against any team. Glad to see the guys getting more balls up the air including several big flys,rather than a lot of ground balls. Don’t stop now boys.

He is dealing more than a Vegas croupier.

When you have guys like Ruiz lurking in the bullpen you can never relax.

Because he is hitting left handed and TLR is obsessive at having lefties hitting righties.

Another base running blunder. Leury has not been playing well lately.. He is a utility player playing every day having his brain farts. What about our first base coach yelling to Leury to not tag on that play...
