Nope. Doesn't fit the narrative.
Social media is not the real world thankfully.

Can’t depend on Goodwin to keep saving the day. Screw that, yes we can

This morning Ozzie said he completely reversed his opinion about Eloy not playing left field. Says that Eloy just looks bad at the plate as a DH, his head just will not accept being a DH. So Ozzie now says Eloy should play left field to get the most out of Eloy at the plate. Pretty hairy issue. Going forward, this a rough problem to solve if Eloy must play left field. Anyway Ozzie suggested a way out is just to DH Abreu and put Vaughn at first. He didn’t like Vaughn as a DH or in right field either. And Abreu needs rest.

Had good stuff and decent command but left a couple balls over the plate.
Ah that’s cool. As long as the stuff is there. The best part about his season has been his command. If he’s just having a regular issue, good. I hate to be paranoid, and I didn’t actually see him pitch the game before when he gave up all the runs, but the last time he did anything like after being dominant he had his issue. So I wanted to know how he looked. Just to ease the angst.

Good lord. DIPS is a thing.
When the league carries that to determine the final score, we can talk. I get it, tou want to say he looks like he is doing something which looks different to you. But in the end, the team wont pay him for DIPS, because the league won’t recognize it to determine who won the game.

He's generating a tremendous amount of whiffs. He's a completely different pitcher. Whatever he did to figure out his fastball ride has worked.
The scoreboard carries runs, not strikeouts however. If I said Carlos Rodon is completely different, then that is the kind of hyperbole which has some merit.

Cease is a completely different guy this year. Sox are doing a helluva job developing pitchers at the MLB level. The Royals blog crew went on a huge rant about it in their postgamer they are insanely jealous.
His ERA is not completely different. If we like the way he may be in the process of unlocking some potential, some day soon (we hope), fair enough. The hyperbole over him however does not seem quite accurate.

Didn’t see game. Kopech still skidding?

What a dickhead
Bob says he is a lot of fun at parties, if anyone invited him to one.

If you think Goodwin is getting DFA'd, it just comes from your dislike of him.
Sheets can be sent down and brought back up in a month. Goodwin can't. Now you know what they will do
Whatever they do, Im not telling a guy that has really helped this team to win when they were down to fuck off just because he’s not as good as I wish he was. Much gratitude Brian.

Of course he’s not the perfect player, he was already let go once by a team this season. He has serious warts. But given how banged up the Sox are, and given some of the big moments he’s provided…calling for him to be DFA’d is dumb.
He’s earned a right to be a part of this despite not being as good as people want. Major League sports is cold, but it doesn’t need to be that cold.

Can you image teams prepping for the Sox thinking about the 7 - 8 - 9 innings? If we were playing against a team like that we'd say there was no chance.
If Eloy was here we would have scored an extra run at least yesterday. This team is fine.

New team is 2-1. The end.

It's a long season. They're going to go through ups and downs, especially with being down 3 major bats in the lineup.
You know what is fun to watch? Fantastic pitching. Pitching wins ballgames. Winning ulitmately is what matters. They win. Winning is fun.
We are 2-1 since our reinforcements began showing up. We’re perfectly fine

Goodwin haters tears are DELICIOUS!
This team keeps making the mopes cry. I love it!
How can you hate a guy just for not being good, but on balance has done his part and kept your team in the hunt? Its like hating a gorilla for being ugly

Just a tremendous bat flip

June is over Yall! New month baby

Yoan still has a lot of maturing to do as a professional ball player. He is not nearly as dedicated to the game and becoming a great player as he should be. He has all the tools for sure it's the mental side of the game where he is lacking.
I see you, Steve Stone🧐

Great two innings for Lopez
I never realized how much my sense of well being depended on Kopech being Kopech until he went missing for 24 hours. Kudos to Lopez for keeping bullpen hope alive

Yoan always looks so disinterested
You wouldn’t think so initially, but he is basically a very poor mans Robin Ventura.

Didn’t you say you wouldn’t worry until it was under 7.5 games?
I didn’t. It is over no matter what.

If you think everything is fine right now good for you. Some of us don't enjoy the way they have been playing.
Everything is not fine. This team need to pass a stone or something.
And that’s a white sox winner

The point cannot be made strongly enough, and is was made clear to me during the election. People who post on social media only represent a certain section of the general public within an arena , and most often that section has a distorted viewpoint. Guaranteed Brian Goodwin is very popular among the greater community of Sox fans away from thunderdome.
