It's just a classic Millenial-ish pop culture reference, no particular offense intended!

Jake Rogers has played in the league for 6 years and tonight was his first career walkoff. Over his 50 previous PAs in the bottom of the 9th or extras, he had 18 Ks to just 5 hits. White Sox magic might be contagious lol

Miller closes out a MIN loss. Sox up 4.5

SD with a nice response to go up 6-2 after the Twins tied it. 9 outs left for MIN

Once again, your first place Chicago White Sox are more resilient than much of their fanbase and improve to 67-61 behind their 10th walkoff of the season (3rd by a catcher, 4th in HR fashion) The Sox scored all 6 runs via the long ball, and had a good case to tally a few more if not for the wind batting down a couple early. They lead all of MLB with a 122 OPS+ third time through the order, a big reason for their comeback ability. No game ends in the 4th inning, but especially not against this team. How many times do they have to keep teaching you this lesson, old men?! Burke pitched better than his line and did his job to keep the team in it. Nice pen work from Hicks, Hudson, and Taylor to lock it down. This was their 49th time scoring 6+ runs (T-4th most in MLB) and they are 41-8 in those games. Most of the losses were when the arms scuffled early; they are 28-4 in such games since first reaching the .500 mark in May. 611 total runs still leads the AL, no one else has crossed 600 yet (Twins at 592 coming into tonight). Detroit lost, Cleveland should win, and Minnesota is tied in the 5th.

It's actually 10 by 8 different guys, I forgot the Peters walk off walk So Q and Peters both have a pair each

9 walkoffs by 8 different players Somehow 3 of them by catchers

Welcome to Chicago, Rogers

Not sure Yan has thrown a strike, please be patient

It was fun in the WBC, but I would be so anxious about Yan potentially hurting himself with those jumps

Smart to turn the wind off the this inning

Losing the upcoming IFA class would be very rough timing, giving the new DR academy and other long awaited improvements for the Sox

It's primarily a quality of contact metric (EV and LA) and more location neutral. Riley's double was hard hit but had more hangtime, and a higher angle hit to the OF will be caught more often than a low liner at 105mph.

The Braden lineout had a higher xBA than any of the Braves hits in the game, just one of those days

MIL as the opener was such an unlucky draw, would like to have seen that matchup after the Sox found their footing. But I certainly won't complain about seeing any of those teams again this year lol

When you hit a ball 105mph into a glove, it just means you aren't trying! Really pathetic stuff.

Sox finish 10-11 against the current NL playoff slate (LAD, MIL, ATL, CHC, PHI, SDP). They won 4 series and lost 3 including the opening sweep in MIL.

They get shut down less than most teams in the league. Times scoring 3 or fewer runs: T- Lowest: MIL, PIT, LAD at 51 T-2nd: CWS, PHI, TBR at 53 Good pitching (and/or bad luck) can beat good offenses, that's baseball.

The majority of their 14 balls in play are hard hit, they've just all found a glove
