Six inches away from a third DP for the Sox today.

That is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Sox management loves to double down on everything that is not working and expect better results.

Sox are the DP kings. Groundball city with slow runners and no running game.

You forgot who is managing this team. His reaction time is always a few minutes behind .

We have gone away from the running game. I admit however that some of our runners are very slow, however we need to put some runners in motion whenever possible. We hit too many ground balls. Vaughn has become our latest double play machine.

Let’s start by sending the memo now to not let Salvador Perez beat us.

Don’t forget these are the Indians no matter the name change. Same old same old like the Major League Baseball movie with Charlie Sheen.

Agree. Francona was quoted at Peacock today that every game is like a playoff game now. Hope TLR was listening. We need that sense of urgency. Need to try to win a game at a time. Worry about tomorrow tomorrow.

And if they bring back TLR forget about selling more season tickets.

Blame it squarely on JR and TLR to begin with. Putting an out of touch 77 yr old has been in charge of a bunch of young talent was unconscionable.

Grandal was the DH because TLR is a bad manager. He is also the slowest runner in the majors. See CC Sabathia comments that TLR is out of touch and should not be managing the White Sox. Soxtalk is not the only one complaining about TLR.

OK. Thanks for clarification. My bad.

Dugouts have been cleared of equipment. Looks like no game will be played today. Probably not announced yet so the fans at the park keep spending at concession stands. They just announced the game will not be played today.

Looks like Francona feels he can pull a fast one on the clueless TLR.

The only time football games are stopped is for lightning.

It is not too bad. Only comment would be to hit Moncada second instead, he is faster and less prone to the DP than Vaughn who has not been hitting well lately and more able to execute a hit and run. Vaughn is too slow, DP prone, and clogs up the bases when he gets on.

Thank you CC for your comments about TLR. Many of us have known this for quite a while. It is good to get confirmation from a pro like you.

They also have Manning from the Guardians to provide the Guardians perspective.

The problem is that there was a rain storm in the morning and flooded part of the field.

What is the lineup?

No.

Probably download the Peacock app or call Comcast for more instructions.

It is on Peacock streaming. Fortunately for me I am on Xfinity cable /internet and Peacock is included as both of these services are part of NBC Comcast. I tuned into Peacock and the game is delayed with water on the field. Didn’t expect to see that the announcers were Benetti, Steve Stone and Manning of the Guardians. All dressed up in jacket and ties. Looked quite different than usual. The streaming picture quality is very good , much better than cable. They think the game will get in later today.

Civale has a very good curve ball that mostly falls low under the zone. Need to identify the pitch and try to lay off. Easier said than done.
