Pantera !!!

There's tim doing exactly what the pitcher wanted with a runner on 2nd. He pulled it .

pitchers have a better approach hitting just by standing there and not swinging.

No grounds to win it so why bother ?

TLR cooled him off

I haven't seen a pitcher do that in a long long time

Blooper drops , line shot is caught . Baseball.

Cueto reaching back for a little extra on that K of Taylor.

very nice DP

It's what you do against righties with a slider guy on the mound pitching away to RHH.

Bullets by Tim and Engel just outs.

Humor works ! Thanks Yaz ! Why so serious ?

Yes but not more than 1 run each inning.

Tough situation for the lineup haters. If Vaughn knocks in Engel, LaRussa was right lol

OK boys that's 1 . Let's Go !!!

LET'S GO WHITE SOX !!!!

When a pitcher is consistently around the plate and close to hitting his spots, he is going to get calls. It's not framing , it's the umpire. When a guy isn't around the plate and missing his spots he won't get the calls.

Today is the day we find out if Cueto opts out or not.

When he is showing his power stroke again from the right side I would prefer keeping him in a groove. A Moncada that can actually slug over .450 would be a very welcome addition and there is no time to waste when the rest of the lineup and especially his replacement is so bad and McGuire has to catch.

No Moncada , no bueno. He needs to play against lefties and righties. I do not care about day game after a night game when he's swinging the bat well.

This is also true and will become an even bigger problem when the 14 man pitching staff is reduced to 13. When people scream in the game threads about using other guys in situations that they don't agree with the amount of high leverage situations cannot only be picked up by the best guys. While we also scream about the position playing resting too much, it's crucial with the reduction in the staff coming that the Sox score more runs because the if close games continue we are going to see more of the bottom relievers being used in situation we don't like.

I also had the accidental discovery that I could listen to your podcasts on my TV yesterday !

You mean you never argue with your computer ?

Or you could look on the bright side. Lynn still missing . Eloy still missing. Sheets coming to life. Giolito back soon from Covid. Vaughn back. Moncada back and swinging well. Bummer out and maybe he can turn it around too.

Sox do well in the hockey score games, not so good in the football score games.
