Yeah, no foresight here

Had to look it up: he's done that once, ever. No homers in that direction either.

When is the last time you saw Peters rip a double to the opposite field gap?

My all-star!

Reminds me of MLB the Show when I'm praying that the batter's body reaction to being hit by the pitch overrides me pushing the swing button

And there's no batted ball component here, in fact he arguably is getting better results than he deserves over the past few weeks.

My confidence in Colson has been built on seeing him play through several slumps without losing it. When he first got going last year, I was worried that he could fall back into whatever happened to him at the beginning of his 2025 AAA season, which was obviously primarily mental. Well this is by far his worst MLB slump and the longest. We'll see if he can climb out.

It really does feel like a national league game though because you can start to feel the ramifications of the automatic out in the 9 hole several batters early, it affects your thinking about how the inning could go starting around the 6 spot.

I still have the word "doink" muted on Twitter

When I played in college, we could carry huge rosters. I don't even know what the limit was. But the important thing is that there was a period of time that we almost never let our catchers bat. We had like 5 of them and just swapped them out every time they came up. Apropos of nothing

Guardians have hit into some tough luck so far. The Sox might as well be lucky to have the one hit. May be a harbinger of things to come.

Fun fact: Hagen is one of the few pro ballplayers who uses a Nokona glove. I'll be curious if Rawlings buys his loyalty upon arrival to MLB. I was always a Nokona guy when I played so I'm partial to their stuff.

Schultz will win a Cy Young for the Brewers in 2 years after we trade him for the husk of Brandon Woodruff

I think he's a guy who will be at risk of a DFA. He was so bad defensively and the offense had some problems as well, although I acknowledge the surprising pop from the left side. Like Everson, Brooks is a little harder to be patient with if you think the team is going to be good. There's some other crap on the 40-man that the Sox could clear first, of course. But we may have some new crap we want on there too.

Needed fresh arms. I wonder who gets the DFA. And with Thorpe set to come off the 60-day soon, I don't have any clue how the Sox feel about him. Will he get a shot at innings in MLB, will he get optioned and lie in wait for a while, will he be DFA'd?

Can we send a note to Steve Stone on the pronunciation of Luisangel?

Trevor Richards is such a mensch. Just taking abuse day after day for the Sox.

I want to see the downfall of Messick

"Remember the night you proposed, about 45 minutes after the manager accidentally removed the starting pitcher?"

I would can the proposal when the Sox are shitting the bed early lol

111 off the bat of Mune, a real moon ball with how high of a launch angle it was.

Nice for Mune to get on the board against a LHP

McDougal considered a bust now too? I thought he was still online Sox fans' second favorite low to mid-tier prospect (after the inimitable Mason Adams)

Edgar with the perfect swinging bunt for a guy who runs at faster than Yasmani Grandal speed

Not much to interpret with it really. Best assumption in baseball is that most games, innings, at bats don't have a lot to do with each other (with a few exceptions). White Sox have played around .500 baseball. There aren't usually too many long streaks one way or another when you're flipping coins. I do see it as a good sign that they don't have a problem in the clubhouse that would lead to bad things piling up.
