Thorpe 5 IP, 3 Hits, 1R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 6 K vs. the Rochester Red Wings who are in 1st in the IL East. After his masterful performance, Rochester teed off on the rest of the Knights pitchers for 13 runs.

Decent amount of votes. Not many posts. I'll take it. Wanted to see what everyone else was thinking. Kind of surprised Thorpe got as many votes as he did, Sox have to make a decision on him by the 17th. I think he started today at Charlotte. I'll go see how he did.

Day game tomorrow and lots of rest should help Martin. He has very good stats during day games. Vargas got a day of rest today . Might see a HR from him against the LH Abbott. I feel good about tomorrow .

Not really big bucks this season and next year if you count the Domiquez salary against his it's under $15M in 2027. If he ends up being 4 or less ERA its a good investment for a guy with playoff experience who still has a lively arm and can eat innings. You saw proof or what he can do tonight.

Just a great all around game for Luis Catillo ! 10 K in 7 IP, 1 hit , picked a guy off 1st and made a beautiful glove scoop on a bunt. Great all around defense too. Antonncci diving play at 2nd base, leaping catch at the wall in LLCF by Peters playing LF with Doyle in CF. Braden also a nice diving catch in the 9th inning. Meidroth important 2 run HR in the 6th to get us from 1 to 3 run lead and another hit. Antonacci 3 hits. Murakami extended his on base streak to 27 which currently is tied for tops in the AL and longest by a Sox player since Abreu did it in 2022. Long way off from the single season record of 54 games by Luke Appling and the team record 57 game streak by Frank Thomas covering 2 seasons. Romo 1st HR in a while and another hit and a big smiles. Castillo looking right into the camera with a big smile and the 🫶 . I guess the small sample size of his 1st ever start for the Sox did not determine the outcome of his whole White Sox career. Shocker. Clueless. Meatballs.

HAGEN Yeah Buddy !

Quite impressive outing by Castillo. He finished really strong ! Did exactly what the Sox got him for tonight.

Without reading any posts I'm Ok with it. Appparently trying to live up to expectations caused him a lot of anxiety. Empathy for his metal health.

I'm going with Cannon based on his last 3 starts in AAA 6 IP all 3 starts and 0 walks. Kind of a long shot but the guy pitching the best at the moment .

Pick the next starting pitcher who is not an opener currently not on the 26 man roster.

Much needed day off tomorrow after a ton of BP time because of the short innings from Schultz and the rain today. I'll take 2 of 3 from Cleveland under trying circumstances. They stepped up.

I've watched so much baseball over the years that the losses in a season like this where its been a gift don't bother me. I'm enjoying it for the most part except for our fans freaking out and constantly panicking. I just don't understand how anyone panics over 1 start from Castillo. He'll have about 30 more starts between now and next year unless a lot of next season is cancelled. It would be great to get in the playoffs but it's not a given . If we do ,cool ,it would be nice to win a playoff series but honestly if there was a poll now that asked do you think the Sox will be playing in the World Series I'm pretty sure only a small minority of fans here are delusional enough to think that will happen. I honestly though that our chances were just about the same before the trade deadline as after it. But it was necessary to show that you'd take a shot at improving the team. We'll see how it goes.

That's what makes a very good HR hitter. Not everyone can do it .

Great job Bonemer. I told that Panic King that the Sox would rebound with 2 of 3 from Cleveland. He never learns. Can't just enjoy an unexpectedly good season . Sox are in as good of a position as they have been all season because the division sucks and its the Sox division for the taking if they just continue to beat division opponents. Only 2 of the starting pitchers traded at the deadline won their 1st game , Gausman and Dustin May everyone else either lost of was a no decision.

Good job !

Good would have been a loss if the Panic King started it.

We were talking about the 1 Castillo game with the Sox. If you want to think that meaningful for how the rest of his starts go that's fine But at least you're not jumping for joy about it when you were too afraid to grade the trade deadline acquisitions like someone else is doing.

is that what you said ? I only saw .250

Oh you are on a roll with the doom and gloom .

Wow is crazy worse than clueless . ARe you going to keep crying ?

Apparently with most of the board voting on a grade on the trade deadline I guarantee you didn't so the minute anything bad happened against the hottest team in baseball you could jump on it . You're so lame.

I don't know man I'm apparently clueless for calling out the giddy haters for jumping to conclusions.

Youre the clueless one. No one except the most negative knee jerk crazies jump to conclusions like you do. Why are you so quiet during wins and post up a storm during losses jack ass ?

We'll see that's all I can tell you . It's asinine football mentally . This isn't 1 of 16 games. We're likely to take 2 of 3 from Cleveland . why the f*** are you laughing ? ARe you happy 1 game makes you a king for a day ? Look look everybody we lost to the hottest team in baseball 3 games in a row just like we did in the other 3 games against them without Castillo, Bart, Brazoban and Doyle. ANd this one was the closest we came. But sure keep being giddy so you can celebrate losses .
