Engel 3 run jack jack jack !!!

Twice as nice ?

Can't do that with only 2 catcher . If Seby gets hurt and without Mendick as the emergency catcher who do you have catch ?

2nd good outing in a row for Kelly

Nice inning Irishman !

DING DING DING !

OMG a timmy HR !!

Bully !

Didn't seem to effect his hitting though. Coming into tonight he had 3 3 hits games in a row.

With all the weird fielding recently like those double he gave up in the other Twins series maybe some kind of vertigo or inner ear problem.

Did you noticed Robert after his granny was standing in the dugout opening his eyes wide ? Almost like he was having trouble focusing. He looked kind of sweaty too like he's sick sweat . I know baseball players sweat.

Yoan just standing there for 4 pitches.

Reese double left on left !

Smeltzer is LH so got a good chance !

Just goes to show you can teach an old dog new tricks.

A signing born from desperation . Signed 2 days after they lost Lance Lynn. Hahn got lucky Lynn got injured and Cueto was still around after he decided to spend $3M on Velasquez instead of a little more on Cueto or Martin Perez.

My # 2 is open. Mainly because you have to take 2nd half performances into consideration and the opponent. I'm not concerned at all about PED mainly because that's beyond my control but he is known as a fitness dude . He runs and runs and runs stairs. The rest of the Sox could learn a thing or 2 from him about keeping the legs strong not by using weights but just running up and down stairs. ALl baseball players need the strong base especially pitchers. As far as bringing him back I wouldn't put too much stock in it in his age 38 season. Just treat him like any other free agent. But someone I would seriously look at right now is Martin Perez if the Rangers decide to sell . They signed him on March 11th to a $4M 1 yr . deal and he made the All-Star team and he's 31, left-handed and in his 2 starts against the Astro's he pitched a complete game shutout and 7 innings giving up just 1 run. He's their much younger Cueto. Sox might have even been looking into him right before they got Vince Velasquez. March 11 Rangers sign Martin Perez $4M March 13 Sox sign Vince Velasquez $3M . Based on the dates the Sox could've offered Perez $3M . He turned it down. Sox pivoted and signed V V for the $3M instead. April 3 Sox announce Lance Lynn will miss 6-8 weeks. April 5 Sox sign Cueto $4.2M minor league deal (Prorated to $3.32M) after call up.

Oh my goodness. He's sounds like ANnie in the old Annie musical movie

Fuck the Home Run....https://majorleagueaholes.com/2021/05/17/fuck-the-home-run-lets-hit-300/ These guys do a pretty regular Podcast on all things White Sox. I haven't listened to many because I just found them. I don't see a single comment on any of their podcasts so they must be very dedicated Sox fans.

LOL now you have to do it again you lucky bastard. Can you please do it for maybe 15 games ? Thank you

Took me a while Vlad the Impaler.

You actually had the 1st win thread that day so thank you for graciously stepping aside. Also thank you for pointing out that Alex has now joined his beloved Ursula in the great beyond. We constantly heard their names on Sox broadcasts and their generosity.

Good rant A+

I wish I could understand it. How is Cease barely ahead of Aaron Nola when Cease is making $750K this year and Nola is making $11.25M ? If the Sox do go after pitching maybe it should be Martin Perez (31 yrs old) more than Castillo if TX decides to sell. Rangers getting great value since he was a $4M signing on March 11 while Sox signed Cueto (37) for just a little more ($4.2M) on April 5th ,2 days after they found out Lynn was done for 6-8 weeks. But it was a Minor league contract so his prorated rate is $3.32M . So even though the Sox needed starting pitching depth, the move for Cueto only came after Lynn was injured. I mean sure Hahn can spin it another way but the dates speak for themselves. It was a desperation move born from the Lynn injury. Remember he had that May 15th opt out clause in his deal so he could've got away from the Sox and they left him down there as long as possible to pay him less but he was signed just before the season started. The Twins and Tiger both had shown interest in him before he signed with the Sox. I wonder if the Sox ever checked in on Perez. March 11 Rangers sign Martin Perez $4M March 13 Sox sign Vince Velasquez $3M . Based on the dates the Sox could've offered Perez $3M . He turned it down. Sox pivoted and signed V V for the $3M instead. April 3 Sox announce Lance Lynn will miss 6-8 weeks. April 5 Sox sign Cueto $4.2M minor league deal (Prorated to $3.32M) after call up.
