Big fan of his. Every at bat is professional and competitive. Great fielder so far, had perfect footwork on the turn last night and just has a feel for how to get the ball and make the play.

You left out Vaughn if I'm reading this correctly.

Putrid effort by Goodwin.

I take solace in that every day in every way, buddy! Game recognize game!

Why does TLR leave Giolito and Cease out for 108+ but pull Lynn at 95 when he is cruising?

Best ball and strike umpiring of the season. Great win, everyone contributed, they battled.

What about 3.1 inning outings?

This may have been discussed earlier but how did Anderson not get an error on Goldschmidt's liner that scored StL's run? Pretty routine play imo.

b**** ass Duffy was scared to hit Yermin.

Fuck that.

Stone insinuated that Moncada could have gotten back to the bag on Yerm's line out double lay to first last night. I was like wtf? It was literally caught with the glove on the base.

Hey, look at that! I'm coaching first base for the Royals.

Cease is still erratic but man when his release point is on ever pitch is devastating. What improvement.

Can Cease play center? 😎

He didn't know how many outs there were. This is not my opinion. So to imply he had any clue about what was happening in that instance is silly.

In some cases yes but last night was ridiculous, and he didn't even know how many outs there were. It was a true clownshow.

Absolutely disgraceful managing.

Great late movement for Kopech.

Hendricks is finding his groove.

Not sure about the comp pick, and I agree in principle they probably won't do this for optics. The last thing they want is the perception of another white flag trade. So I guess it would surprise me if they did, but from a long term perspective it makes sense.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if he keeps this up, and the Sox aren't playing really top notch baseball, that they looked to unload him at the deadline. It's a lose lose to keep him through the end of this year unless you truly think the Sox can win a championship, because there's no way Jerry is going to give him a market rate if he finishes this year with say a 3.00 era, solid peripherals, and healthy.

Certainly, I haven't been here long enough to really comment. I preferred Dunning's higher floor to Cease's higher ceiling, but I hope that I am wrong.

I think ideally Musgrove and Dunning would have been great, although partially that's hindsight because they are both looking better than expected so far. I love Lynn, he's a true hoss who just attacks batters relentlessly. But if he goes after this year it was a pointless move. I thought after they made that deal they were going all in - I was obviously a fool. One year of Lynn with a team that seems close but not quite there feels like true White Sox, a move that feels like it's more for showing the fan base they are trying to win without really doing what's required to get the team to that level. If they sign Lynn to a reasonable two year deal I will feel much better about it, obviously. I would have preferred they kept Dunning and traded Cease (if possible).

I wasn't watching (thankfully).

I don't think I've ever seen anything like Grandal tonight in an MLB game.
