Buehrle>Wood

Giolito not within a foot of the strikezone on 4 pitches. Come on

Bad inning

Mother's Day here so they have special uniforms

Engel leading off. I hate that despite yesterday

Godspeed friend. We need a W

They had a decent fanbase during the 00s. That's not 50 years ago. Didnt mention the rebuild killing it but the same people who are in charge during the death of our fanbase are still in charge now.

Wonder if there will be a fanbase that will come back to whenever it is this team will be good. Cubs have stolen an entire generation of fans from the Southside.

As I said. Nice work timmy

Take all the way here

Love pinch hitting for the lead off guy

What are you swinging at yolmer

Wonder if we can top our worst ever 3 game series loss from earlier this year with this weekend

Really awful defensive inning for anderson

Hahahaha Anderson

I doubt wants his team to be historically bad with such inept coaching. That's what we've seen so far.

Thank you lester for the pity swing so you dont embarrass your counterpart

Lol got 'em

To not be down 3 0 with 0 outs, as anyone should expect. Stop defending that

3 0 no outs. Beyond pathetic

Ricky intentionally trying to lose edition Lmao

Hopefully relieve the bullpen of the huge burden he puts in them. The current bullpen have more of a future here than Fulmer as a starter, which is funny because this bullpen is garbage too.

Literally a worse nickname than hot fire.

He has a very real chance at 3000 hits. 0 all star games (so far). Cant imagine him in the hall despite those hits.

Also just a quick note, the rotation actually just refers to the 5 starting pitchers. Starters and rotation is used interchangeably. Starters only pitch once every 5 days. Rarely do they ever pitch all 9 innings but they handle the majority of the game (unless they're getting killed then they get pulled early). Pitch counts are very important here. If a starter has thrown 100 pitches in 1 game, they will likely be pulled soon. The rest of the pitchers make up the bullpen (relievers). They come in and pitch after the starters. Theres no 5 day period for these guys. They are mostly available for every game. But that also limits them to pitch much less per game. Most relievers only go a maximum of 1 inning. A lot of left handed relievers tend to go even less than 1 inning as they are considered specialists put in to get left handed batters out and then leave. Fry may end up as one of these specialists, although he just joined the team from the minor leagues so it's hard to say what his role will be (and with how bad the Sox bullpen is they probably dont have a luxury of using specialists). The bullpen guy who pitches last when the team is winning is called the closer. Typically it's the best reliever you have. That's Jones, the guy who they put in today. He just blew it. On that note it cannot be understated how bad the White Sox bullpen is. I dont know how much of this you knew or didnt know and there are exceptions to everything I said here, but hopefully that info helps. I also want to reiterate what they said about the minor league system above. It's VERY unique to the sport of baseball and very popular to follow in it's own right. To give you an idea, the Sox have a minor league player thats already been paid out 30 million dollars to (more than most all of the White Sox major league roster has made) and yet the highest league hes played in is the ~7th highest league there is. Seems insane on the surface but it shows what a good minor league system can do for you down the line.
