Speaking of consecutive games with a HR not only did Murakami's streak get extended to 4 consecutive games with a HR , Montgomery's streak is now 3 and Vargas now at 2 straight games. Tough opposing LHP going for the D'Backs tonight having a very good start to his season Eduardo Rodriguez. Anthony Kay though has been equally impressive so could be a tight game.

Luzinski and Kittle both in 1983. Frank Thomas did it twice in 1994. Carlos Lee in 2003 Konerko in 2011 Pierzynski in 2012.

We'll see how the year plays out. I had confidence that the Sox would improve this year almost as much as they did last year over 2024. A 19 game improvement over 2024 when the kids started showing up was a promising sign. The real test is can it keep rising ? I predicted a 17 game win improvement this year. That's ambitious but as I said in Multiple posts I thought there could be a chance that Murakami & Montgomery could be the White Sox modern version of Mantle & Maris. Also the pitching has to hold up and get boosts from the free agent signings, rookies and guys returning from injuries. So far so good there. It's a roller coaster ride and we're seeing how fun it could be now. But I'm just going to wait and see how it looks when the season ends and let the usual suspects keep being kill-joys .

If Murakami homers today it'll tie the Sox record for most consecutive games with a HR (5). https://www.mlb.com/stories/game-preview/825097?storylocal=web-scores-preview-embed

Not to get technical because you clearly have great baseball mind but since Antonacci is LH if he "pulled" a ball it would be down the RF line . Only RH hitters can pull a ball down the LF line. 🙂

Maybe it has more to do with the official jersey suppliers of MLB .

That's the Blackhawks song

Venezuelan casual

Another 1976 reference to go with the Kevin Bell one .Boz Scaggs Silk Degrees album with the Lido Shuffle on it was released in 76 and got a bunch of Grammy nominations.

I still have to turn off my wifi to get Soxtalk

Well Im old and maybe you are not so I didnt expect many to catch it. No worries .I did mean what I said but it was more about the reference since I leave bad players alone usually.

Twas

Antonacci joins Kevin Bell in 1976 having his 1st career HR being Inside-the-park. Bell had golden locks.

I only said that as a musical reference to the Lido Shuffle by Boz Scaggs.

Teel might be another 2+ weeks.

Bido sounds like the sound the Minions make for British police sirens. Bido bido bido

Doubt he said it in Japanese though.

Bido shuffle off the 26 soon.

Bido not so lucky this inning

Pereira looks like his eyes aren't aligned . 🤪

TLR is that you ?

Good game to cut into that run differential right Caulfield ? As Beni hits into a DP.

Peters with his 3rd hit.

That was some wild stuff. Antonacci energy baby !!

And also followed the Sims example by settling down and not giving up a run.
