He peaked with his spring training grand slam against the Cubs.

I really fucking hope he didn't tear his meniscus. That's the worry here. You aren't going to rip an ACL swinging.

Sox are now 7th in wRC+ at 107 and 6th in position player war at 7. 17th in pitching fWAR at 3.8. As I posted in the post gamer if you look at just May the Sox are easily the best offense in MLB. We have an xwOBA in May of .371! Next closest is the Cubs at .342. The delta between the Sox and Cubs at 2nd is equal to the delta between the Cubs and 16th place Arizona at .313. Incredible. Also, for anybody worried about Colson's back he looked pretty good picking up and throwing the gatorade cooler post game...

S__ My D___ B___ what a great look. These guys get paid to not do that s%*# imo. You're a pro.

You can't argue with results and right now Getz' arrow is pointing up. That said, there was nowhere to go but up. Rebuilding off a 100 loss team is always the easy part. Hard part is actually doing something after.

He's been like a 85 wrC+ guy for most his career outside that hot 3 months to start last year. He's a great player it's just tied up mostly in defense which won't always carry him especially as he ages.

Two things: Bothers me how TA was portrayed at times compared to PCA. He's also just not that good. Great defender sure but just an average hitter at best. Star player for now but I bet he dims a bit over the next few years.

Quero has gone from a guy with a promising future even as just a backup catcher to a guy that might be fighting for his MLB life over the next year or so, let him have a moment FFS. As much as we've all ripped him for sucking he came through today. Same with Beni. When the stars do their job it makes the role players relax and we've seen that lately.

Taylor has earned the closer role. And I think he'd be a good guy to try a few 4 out saves. If we aren't going to stretch him out and we really are contending he's the obvious next man up.

Steve you have Mune on deck, the bases are loaded, the pitcher has thrown 12 straight balls -- do you think he has the 3-0 green light here?

Mariners aren't exactly lighting it up and no Raleigh. Weather will be relatively cool but not sure if the roof will be closed. Conditions might favor the Mariners but our guys are on a roll so who knows.

This is an insane stat: The Chicago White Sox lead MLB in wRC+ in May at 128. Here is an even more insane stat: The White Sox lead MLB in xwOBA at .376 in May. The next closest team is the Pirates (of all teams) at .344. That's a bigger gap than between the Pirates and the 12th place team. Wow.

Man him and Sox did a lot of work on his swing. Way more extension and lower body now than when he was drafted. I am still skeptical it's anything more than a fluke but maybe he would at least have some trade value if we don't have room for him in the infield.

That is crazy plate coverage from a 20 year old.

Dude was celebrating like he threw out the winning run in the WS game 7 after barely nailing the sluggish Benitendi at 3rd. Just a massive prick. Also why the f*** was he upset at the 2nd HBP? He sure as s%*# didn't make much of an effort to get out of the way and the last thing we wanted to do was hit him there.

Sox up to 211 RS. 4th in AL, 10th in MLB. It's so much fun having a solid offense again and knowing going down 3-0 isn't a death sentence as long as the opponent isn't throwing an ace.

I had to take a long walk after that 9th. Now I need a drink. What a game, what a season so far!

Taylor is the closer going forward this is the last straw.

You could see that coming a mile away. He has nothing today. Now can he even get two more outs?

Gonna blow this fucking game.

I know he was trying to throw a one hopper but that was a skipping stone. Missed call looming large now.

What a terrible throw.

Throwing a lot of pitches up.

Never easy. Here we go.
