Nice pitching boys !

Sox were 1-5 and the starters had been sucking. He started both games and the Sox won both. Maybe that move + plus home cooking settled down the team. Why would you be resigned to him not starting ? He still just 23 . You might be right but you might not be. We still need to see him pitch consistently well in whatever role they put him in . I just want to see more Sox pitchers putting up zeros.

Happy Easter everyone 🐇 Go you White Sox !

You could be right. WAR does its best to calculate the impact of someone like Kirk out of the lineup vs. his replacement playing but yikes , 2 bad throws that cost 3 runs and a bad baserunning play getting gunned out at 3rd with Vladdy on deck and 2 outs is sad. He had to have picked up -.2 or -.3 WAR in less than 2 games .

Right around 90 give or take a few.

If the sale isnt happening till at least 2029 or even later if the plan is to sell when he dies, that means as long as he owns the team he is likely to have to pay the salaries of the players. Having more relatively inexpensive contracts not longer than 2 years means he's saving around $100M per year ( current player payroll vs $185M payroll ).

We never left. Way too many games left to not enjoy the boys playing baseball on a beautiful day.

Anyone notice that certain people only come to game threads the Sox are losing to rub salt in the wounds and tell us how everyone sucks ?

If you follow this club closely and the draft picks we knew the hitting was going to be ahead of the pitching. Even though Schultz and Hagen Smith didnt set the world on fire last year you knew they still had room to grow .Plus McDougal and Oppor showed tremendous growth. It's coming together bit by bit. It would help to have Shane Smith show up soon.

You worry too much. Sox are at home and they just got 2 gifts runs. Shouldn't get PTSD from baseball.

2 in a row , winner winner ,a win streak and a save for dinner !

Bad baserunning by Vargas turns into good fortune. I was thinking no way he throws Acuna out hed be better off looking to catch Vargas rounding 3rd. I like it ! Insurance runs.

Its important to win on all levels.That means you have good things going on moreso than losing. Thats why I loved seeing the back to back Birmingham championship. It builds bonds that you can do it at higher levels. Winning breeds winning.

That was yesterday so maybe it was for yesterdays win 🙂

Down on the Farm the Sox affiliates went 0-4.

Ill take that DP on the fly out to leave Guerrero in the on deck circle rather then have him up with 2 on.

Monty ! Monty ! Monty ! White Sox version of the M & M Boys. For you youngsters that's what they used to call Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris.

Mune ! Mune ! Mune ! 111 EV Lefty on lefty crime !

Wind blowing out? That flyout was a bit adventurous between Acuna and Hays.

Cubs lose .DeLauter destroyed them.

The right play is if it dont think you have to come off the bag you don't especially on a low throw. Youre liable to have the runner fly right by you or break your hand, wrist or arm as it reaches among the legs flying by. I just dont see any of it being Munes fault (or even partially his fault for thinking he could have salvaged that throw). Make a good throw and the inning's over.

Wonder if we see him this weekend, TOR had some TBA's coming into the series. Boston put out some pretty damning stuff about his arm. Theres also the reports out there that Gio was part of a coup that failed in the MLBPA. Don't have any idea if he'd be welcome by the players or management. Hard to know who's feathers were ruffled, if any were. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/12/mlbpa-subcommittee-vote-new-members-paul-skenes-tarik-skubal.html

Um you do realize that the throw was wide and pulled him off the base. He couldve just come off the base to field it and the run scores anyway. he did what any 1st baseman does in that situation, he tried to stretch enough to keep his foot on the bag but he couldnt .Vargas will probably be saying it's his fault after the game.

It's been a long time since a guy named Peters did good things for the Sox and Gary Peters was a pretty good hitting picher.

That was a good win. The unheralded guys came thru with small ball.
