I think we could actually pass the Twins in the W column

EZ win. not losing 100. And we had 20 baserunners! 13 LOB leaves a little to be desired.

"12 for 22 with 8 walks" Meidroth vs the Tigers lol

phew

Hopefully that blunder doesn't cost us.

Danger!!

Switched over to the Birmingham game where Gowens was at 8 Ks, 0 walks, 0 runs after 5. Immediately Edwin Arroyo hits a triple.

What a fucking catch, man. One of the top plays of the year. Ranged over pretty far and made the grab somehow

CRUSHED. 451 feet

The Rate for comparison. Spot the parking lots here! It's just really bad design.

the defense is so bad

wtf. trifecta of stupid.

Let's play "spot the parking lots". This is Truist Park in unincorporated Cobb County. Atlanta is entirely suburbs and the ballpark is no where close to downtown.

is Benintendi good at baseball again?

LOL. Really wacky at bat for Oppor's 4th K and likely his last batter. The batter fouled off 11 pitches and worked a 3-2 count...and it ends on a pitch clock violation. Backwards K? His last start of the season unless he goes up to AA where he might have a chance to start the last regular season game. I don't know if that's likely. Finishes at 5.0 IP 2 hits, 2 runs (1 earned), 3 BBs, 4 Ks. His stuff looked really good and battled through command issues in the 3rd and 4th. Fastball got up to 99 mph, slider looked really nasty. Think we got somethin' there.

Sammy(oops) Jeral Perez just crushed one! Absolutely no doubt. Bonemer just missed a massive dong. Ends up lining out to the warning track, nearly gone and seemingly hit very hard.

Oppor on the mound. 6 up, 6 down, 3 Ks so far. Dash up 1-0 after a Lodise homer. Who needs a metal bat? Oppor totally lost his command in the 3rd inning. 2 walks, couple of singles. Got out of a bases loaded jam only giving up one run.

the battle of the rhotic vowels. my money is on ɑ˞

What a really wonderful story. Cool insight into Steinbrenner/Billy Martin, Frank Robinson, Ron Guidry, Thurman Munson, even Ozzie; especially loved the story Claire Smith told. A tearjerker for sure, it reminds you why it's more than a game. Credit to the filmmakers for putting all this together, I don't think I would've thought much about Mr. Torberg or about his widow Suzie at all otherwise. But I'm glad to have the knowledge, it's a great story regardless if you like the White Sox or even baseball.

I’ll be watching it tonight. Or early AM at this point.

Just because lol

It’s just one of those things you gotta do. It’s social convention. Not one I’m willing to buck. I went to a Sox game with a friend once and she told me, “why don’t you just keep it if you want it?” I’m like, “just because”. It’s just one of those things.

No I totally agree. Still, it’s convention to give the kid a ball. It’s just one of those things.

Seems like I didn’t miss anything. Besides welkommen showing out. Time to check the milb scores, maybe less disappointing.

Dad didn’t look great either. Again, it’s a ball. I doubt homegirl was gonna do that though. Dad seems autistic honestly. Not saying that to be mean.
