Grandal said he was feeling a bit winded last not, so I doubt he would even DH. It is even hotter and more humid today, I would expect some rest, especially with a day game tomorrow, that right now, seems like it will be a long day at the ballpark, as a lot of rain is supposed to come through between 2 pm and 3 pm.

Not quite but pretty close. Sick burn though.

Age shit? You have been doing it for years. People of all ages take naps.And then you do age shit here. You really have no idea what you are talking about. Now go get stoned and tell everyone how coll you are.

1 inning 7 hits and a walk against a minor league line up, and yanking him is gutsy? If anything was gutsy, it was letting start the 2nd, thankfully he either came ro his senses or someone awoke him from his nap.

I'm guessing the over/under for Steve Stone mentioning "lively ballpark" is 14 tonight.

It was 97. It's been 96 or 97 in the 8th. You know if he pitched the 8th inning yesterday, you would be focused on the hit, and the rocket by Semien. Except for the 2 home runs, Kimbrel has been snakebit as a White Sox.

He got the save yesterday, but the hit he gave up, the rocket by Semien, would all be a huge deal if he had pitched the 8th and did exactly the same thing.. The only difference was he wasn't ridiculously wild on a few pitches . Personally, I think the need to close is a nothingburger. Just going through a stretch. Get the bad stuff out of the system.

Yeah, I think Yermin probably instagramed his chance of being a September call up away with his retirement, and then the Japan hint.

Yes, but an option is more attractive to other teams. Edit, saw the rule, so he is coming back for sure. I still think he will have a career. He should be on Detroit or Pittsburgh or somewhere he would actually get a chance to succeed. It seems half the time he caught was against LHP. It's got to be hard to be sharp playing as infrequently as he has.

My wife and I were walking down the street one night and a fortune teller was trying to give me an advertisement. I told her I didn't want it but that she probably already knew that. My wife got so mad at me. She is an intelligent woman a lawyer with an LLM. But she believes in these people. It is so bizzarre.

I forget Crochet is on the team once a week. He isn't used consistently.

Just remember his 1st White Sox appearance. He got booed.

Kimbrel get the 8th?

I've always wondered about something like this. Do you think they let Mendick know he was most likely going down when Rodon got activated, or do you think they sprung it on him after the game yesterday?

I agree. He had the bullpen going the second he gave up a hit.

McCann also has a bad back.

Last night, I thought about the post after Kimbrel was acquired, I think by Balta, that his acquistion LaRussa-proofed the bullpen. I thought it was a really good point. Turns out it was wrong. There is no LaRussa-proofing as long as he is getting a White Sox paycheck.

Maybe in the hit column.

Hernandez needs a day off. Wait, they are giving Hernandez a day off? WTF? Vaughn is horrible with 2 outs and RISP. Why isn’t Vaughn in the line up in a run producing spot?

So if you were managing the White Sox in October, you would rather have Heuer than Kimbrel, correct? Since you are twisting and turning stats in an attempt to fit your narrative, wouldn't the 2021 Codi Heuer bear some blame for the White Sox overrated bullpen?

Charlie Watts of the Rolling Stones.

I've never understood the "just don't give him anything close" approach. You are risking a PB, WP or as we saw when they used to have to throw 4 pitches for an intentional walk, a couple get pretty close to the zone. Tony should be mad only at himself. He only had to raise 4 fingers.

Clearly Pilkington is going to win several Cy Youngs in his future, and most likely, if he stays healthy, be in the HOF. Hernandez is up there in all time terrible, but not as bad as Madrigal who definitely would be the worst player ever to put on a major league uniform if Zack Collins wasn't standing in the way.

2018 Lance Lynn had an 11.57 postseason ERA, Hendriks postseason ERA was 18.00, and according to the Guaranteed Rate commercial Lucas Giolito was the worst pitcher in baseball. The Sox are screwed.

Gotta love him blaming the rookie. Yell to the umpire, put 4 fingers up Tony.
