Gio Gonzo pitched 3 2/3 gave up a run on oppo HR by Vaughn. Dunning went 2 2/3 gave up a run on a single by Leury, a swinging bunt hit by Timmy, walk and a wild pitch, they ended the inning on the wild pitch despite there being only 2 outs. Figured he threw enough pitches i suppose since he gave up 3 walks 4 hits and K'd 2. Colome, Marshall, Cordero, Fry ,Bummer and Heuer all pitched Game was over after 6 innings. Ended in a 1-1 tie.

I'm right with you on the optimistic route.When I feel like arguing I know I've stuck up for Collins and Mazara very strongly. I've seen some smart hitting from Madrigal and Mazara in the scrimmages, I know spring training performance should be taken with a grain of salt but Collins has quietly shown tremendous power and a good eye for the strike zone. It's never a bad thing when a guy can be .100 higher in his OBP than his BA. We are all guilty of seeing good and bad spring performances and letting them reinforce how we feel about certain players despite what we know about SSS. Like I keep waiting for Eloy to show me a little more in summer camp while singing the praises of Lambert and Dunning. But yet when I post i only show my optimism and quietly wait for Mt. Eloy (that awful name given by Benetti ) to erupt .

We all know there are factions here who like or dislike Collins, Madrigal, Lopez and Mazara . Those are probably the top 4 as far as many not thinking they will ever be any good. I believe in all 4. I don't like playing scout and judging on past performance as an indicator of future success for young players. Of course not all will ever reach their potential but at least I feel good about being in their corner.

He went 3 last time so looking to improve on that but he is facing a tough lineup.

Poor Vaughn facing some righties with nasty stuff has been too much for him today.

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't see him throwing that many sliders so if I am right I'm just happy he's getting in the work he needs.

Nice play by Vaughn deep at 3rd and perfect 1 hopper to 1st.

Got some Go Go Sox action from Madrigal and Renteria. ( Fox and Al Lopez circa 1959)

The bird is the word !

Delmonico looking smooth on that last GB at 2B.

Mine never works so i just use the youtube app on my RokuTV and that works fine. No idea why the mlb.tv one won't work. All i get is the Sox logo and no game.

I don't know all the ins and outs of the CBA but in a season in which Covid is a big concern and finishing the season might be 50/50 maybe that would be a good enough reason to hold him out for about a month rather than 6 days and see how the season goes , monitor Covid cases throughout the league and if they are rising then you have worries about the season actually finishing . If it's going well then call him up. Maybe Covid is a good enough reason rather than needing to work on something. I'm not sure a player has ever won a grievance challenging the CBA and perhaps Madrigal would have a better chance in that scenario that there are no minor leagues but then again he Sox could use the reasoning that they didn't want to waste however much of his service time they would lose in a season that had a good chance to be lost without crowning a champion. Hopefully it doesn't all come to this and everything is cool between Madrigal and the Sox no matter how it plays out.

If he's back in camp I don't see why not. Get him used to live pitching again as fast as possible.

I love it ! We're talkin' baseball again. I am so tempted to write some White Sox 2020 themed lyrics to this song. Might as well believe the hype while it all exists.

We need a HR . Sox hit 10 before they started the broadcasted games and haven't hit one since.

I can watch on youtube but it's listed on the whitesox page on Roku but all i'm getting is the Sox logo after the commercial ended so far.

It's settled then .

Does Yellow Cab have a team ?

Commissioner Joe(Da Luis RoBearce) I like the team name Joe. I never played fantasy baseball before but a short season might be a good time to try if its free.

I like yours with the red font . You don't say what the asterisks are for though. NRI guys ?

Whoever knocks the crap out of Tigers and Royals best and manages over .500 against the other AL Central teams will win the division 35 wins will take the division , maybe 32/33 to make the playoffs.

Sox Record 35-25. I guess we missed the BOLD Predictions portion of our off season. Robert and Dunning neck and neck for ROY. Dunning moves into a starting roll before game 25 replacing someone who was injured or not effective. Sox lead the AL in HR's. Sox win the World Series. Crochet gets a save in the clinching World Series game. World Series MVP Luis Robert RR signed to lifetime extension.

SO no Crawford. Hawks play Edmonton and Edmonton is a host city . Does that mean every single game is in Emonton on their home ice or are the Hawks the "home" team in Toronto ?

Ahh thought we all knew that . Covid 19 making a mess of everything, players and umps opting out, players testing positive, problems with testing and results, negotiations to get the season started going haywire, no fans ,. I'm sure i missed a lot of things. We're kind of lucky baseball isn't considered much of a contact sport like football, basketball and hockey. It's a lot harder to limit contact and practice social distancing in those sports.

And the clusterfuck of a season continues to get "clusterier". My new made up word. I remember seeing a poster ask what a clusterfuck was. I thought everyone knew but basically it's a group of bad things that happen to fuck up a whole situation.
