Good call. I still remember my second grade teacher Ms. Landis cause she was hot. Perfect 10 as they say. Something about 2nd grade.

Well I've done my fair share of hating. So I'll give credit to the club. Some good baseball as the summer blazes on. GO SOX. Good job fans.

Thing is. Fans of modern baseball (not saying u are, I don't know) can't call for the bunt from guys who can't bunt. The advance stat people don't want bunts anyhow. Yaz can't bunt. Case closed. One out baby!

To be fair, the haters have had plenty of reasons to hate. And they're still here so they are still fans. We haters still want to win. And we'll give credit where it's due if Sox win. I do love me some Abreu. Another 3-hit game? Those who hated on him need to agree he's not finished. He's just a notoriously slow starter.

You would think so but it's not cool to bunt ya know? So guys can't bunt. ... Hail to Moncada, though. Nice single.

Nice job again Moncada. That one fan is awesome. He gets to cheer his ass off two nights in a row. The guy with Konerko jersey.

How sad. Grandal can't bunt cause he is incapable of putting down a bunt so the HIGHLY PREDICTABLE double play. Weak sauce.

McGuire Throws Shade at Sox Clubhouse
Maybe the bad clubhouse atmosphere will help. This team might have a chip the rest of the way to prove people wrong and all that sports cliche jazz. Anybody else falling in love with Abreu again? This guy is quietly raking again. Over .300 for the traditional non-stat people. Multi hit games common. Love me some Abreu.

That's a Come Back White Sox Winner !!
This is so neat, It sure appears the fan got the word to Tony to pinch run. Amazing.

That's a Come Back White Sox Winner !!
Sox have plenty of time to reverse the negativity of a horrid season. Nobody will remember the bad days if they take off from here. Sox didn't hit any homers but thank u Cueto for going eight like the old days of baseball. Pitching 4-5 guys against the Stros is a formula for disaster. They'll hit one or two of the army of relievers. Jose is a hit machine the second half (knock on wood). And I'll say it again. If Pollock keeps this up, it really helps the Sox attack. Would really be nice for this team to copy those old Oakland A's teams, bad clubhouse but talent prevails in the end. Not saying Sox will keep winning: injury bug ain't going anywhere and team still doesn't hit well and has a suspect bullpen. But it's POSSIBLE baby.

Sox won't fire TLR, but would reassign him after season
Sox are a microcosm of the business world. A CEO would never ever fire a buddy a second time. The first time was probably only OK'ed cause it was 40 years ago and the two hadn't developed that long relationship yet. TLR would have to start costing Jerry a lot of money before he'd actually boot him from the 'family.' Once you could tie loss of a lot of $$ to Tony, then and only then would it be bye bye.

Momentum or Big Tease?
I'm such a sap but I feel good after that series. Pitching was promising. And the Sox finally have learned how to beat a Central team, Detroit. Finally. What got me happy is Pollock is starting to hit a bit better. It's pretty simple. Some of the Sox automatic outs can really spark this team if they start hitting. I do think Sox will remain crap team on the road. But I am a sap and hopeful we can somehow win this horsecrap division. Sox probably won't but what the heck.

2022 MLB catch all thread
Rasumussen is good on pitch count and has a perfect game going in the 8th. Somehow he's fine on pitch count, not at 80 in 8th.

White Sox 6 No Hit IP for Kopech Winner !
Yes you could take Cease out in the third inning in the future. Cause he goes all out, strikes out five of six. No runs. Then you go on to the next 2 inning guy. You set the rotation and Cease can come back in a day or two ,not five. It'll happen IMO. Baseball is in trouble. Analytics will figure it out regarding the use of openers, etc.

White Sox 6 No Hit IP for Kopech Winner !
One more inning wouldn't have mattered. No way he coulda gone 9 and kept it under 100 pitches. The sport is to blame on this one not elderly TLR.

Luis Robert hurt. Again.
Yeah, injuries bring a different reaction now that's for sure. I agree with the above poster. Injuries are expected now at least by me. Baseball sure has a host of problems and injuries continues to be one of them. There's absolutely no reason to go to a game anymore in person, except to enjoy a beautiful evening outside. The sport is too flawed to care about deeply anymore.

Luis Robert hurt. Again.
The season from hell. Injuries. Never ending. I don't think any of us are confident the parade of injuries will suddenly stop next season.

White Sox 6 No Hit IP for Kopech Winner !
Nice win. Great win. But it's sad that the no hitter is the latest fun thing to become extinct in baseball. The Hall of Fame is gonna be mighty quiet in the future. I firmly believe we're headed to two innings max for starters in the near future. 2-2-2-2 and the closer.

8/12 Gamethread: Tigers @ Sox, Norris v. Kopech
Modern baseball should be ashamed of itself. Why can't a guy throw as many pitches as needed to attain a no hitter? Combined no hitters should not even be celebrated. One pitcher throws a no hitter? That's time to rejoice. Too bad we will see very very few in the future. Maybe none. No manager will risk pitching a guy more than the 90-100 pitches especially if a guy has had surgery before. Oh for the good ol days of baseball.

8/11- Chicago White Sox @ Kansas City Royals - 1:10 PM CDT NBCSCH
Normally I'm for the going with the pitch drilling singles. But I do concede not lifting and pulling home runs has hurt this club. Even though the bullpen blows and the starters don't go deep nuff in games, a lift and pull HR offense would probably have been good nuff to get Sox in the playoffs. Division reeks.

8/11- Chicago White Sox @ Kansas City Royals - 1:10 PM CDT NBCSCH
I guess. But Eloy and Robert don't always run hard cause they know what will happen if they do. Also Moncada appears to go half speed prolly for the same reason. And Timmy being hurt is a killer, that goes without saying. But I hear u. Your assertion is correct.

8/11- Chicago White Sox @ Kansas City Royals - 1:10 PM CDT NBCSCH
The right thing to do woulda been to wait a couple weeks after the postseason disappointment faded and keep Renteria. He definitely would have done better than Tony and at least the team woulda played hard for him. Tony experiment didn't work. Too old a guy. It happens.

8/11- Chicago White Sox @ Kansas City Royals - 1:10 PM CDT NBCSCH
One big LOL. In August when the games supposedly matter Sox lose 3 of 4 to KC. I know ... injuries. At this point the team has had so many injuries I blame that on the team more than luck. Not so sure Sox traning staff is very good.

Has Tony seen enuf? Maybe he's staying for the money. Good chunk of cash going to his bank account at 77. He's too old to read social media anyway. Cha ching for Tony's bank account is why he's staying thru this disaster. He coulda started collecting social security 15 years ago for gosh sakes. Way to add to your estate, Tony.
