Autumn Dreamin

5 out innings will do that to a lot of guys

....Colson?

Rewatching the Loftin injury...am I crazy or is it a little weird how little concern Lynch IV showed afterwards? Maybe he was mad at Loftin for getting caught off 3rd when they could have had bases loaded for Witt earlier. Or does being a 4th just make you less sympathetic to other guys' potential Jrs?

......Why would they try? Perez is literally the worst everyday player in the league right now. He's at -1.5 fWAR already, with the next worse player is a full point better. Absolutely no reason to give a declining 51 wRC+ player any ABs at DH or 1B on this team, and whatever good his framing does is erased by...everything else. Getting him for free would be an overpay.

That's 10 straight home series wins for your first place Chicago White Sox! 7th walkoff win, with a different hero for each one. 4 have been by rookies (Ant, Peters, Braden, Gonzo). Also a 7th win against KC, clinching the season series at 7-2 with 4 more to play. 5 over at the halfway point. 68.3% win rate at home.

Based on how Venable talked about yesterday, I think he valued making KC burn an extra arm there. Lynch and Schreiber are normally two of KC's best, and now they're both likely down for tomorrow. Keeps their pen in relatively dire straits despite Wacha's heroics.

KC bullpen is wildly taxed, his options are limited

Not what I expected when folks fretted about a KC pitcher drilling someone, oof.

Lynch seems wild so far, be patient

Walk it off and get Taylor the W

Taylor throwing absolute gas today

Had to score to win anyway, time to rally

Wacha really giving KC the length they needed today

They have been trying to manage his workload a little for the past few turns

He joins Liam Hendriks, Aaron Bummer, Doug Nikhazy, Vince Velasquez as ex-Sox arms in the Cubs org

I'll take another one of those 10 run innings here

Occasionally you can see the Lance Lynn influence with Davis Martin lol

Let's hope they don't ban divine intervention in the next CBA
