It's because the Pirates know how to win. The Sox don't. JR is getting played by his front office. Horrible, horrible. They need to start over. The fact that there are actual people who take time out of their day to post this type of stuff on a White Sox message board when the team is basically cruising to the playoffs despite missing almost half of its line-up for a good chunk of the season, just fascinates me.

If you were a Guardians fan, you would agree with him.

You used to be able to walk the concourse and watch the game at the same time. Not anymore. There are so many stands, that doesn’t work anymore.

1.29 ERA.

Hopefully Goodwin is DFAd before the next series.

Bummer in. 1st warm up back to the screen.

At least he plays defense, and it frees up White to play 2 guard which will make him a better player.

Didn't the very connected Portillos tell us we had seen the last of Lambert in a Sox uniform?

They have no idea how to win yet have the biggest lead in baseball. Either you are just trolling or in need of intense therapy.

I was watching the NBA channel which I never knew I even had, and their guy said something would have to go horribly wrong for Ball not to be a Bull. Of course with his father involved in some way, something going horribly wrong is always quite possible.

Be nice if Tepera could get someone out. Looks like Cishek part 2.

Not good for Sebys Cera.

No they are there. TA leaped when he didnt have to. It fooled Steve.

Rickie didn't have nearly as many toys to play with.

Not really. TA dropped it.

Did you see the replay?

Stone should apologize to Vaughn. He hit TA. TA muffled it.

Much like many of us have wanted Tony to take on for the team with balls and strikes calls this year, he basically did the equivalent last night. Obviously there is concern with Abreu looking like he just got knocked out, but he also wants to make the Guardians staff feel some pressure not to throw inside giving his team an advantage in a tight game.

One other question is why does Tony know what the catcher called? That wouldn’t be sportsmanship.

Especially in this one. It is throwing a baseball. Even the greatest don’t get it right where they want it plenty. To say he has no command so the catcher can’t call for an inside pitch is a joke. Besides if he has no command and the catcher wants it inside, wouldn’t that mean there is a decent chance it won’t be inside? Have you ever called out a catcher for calling for an inside pitch from a pitcher with no command? If there is one post before this incident, I will say I am sorry I am wrong. But it has never happened. What Tony did was for show, and that is fine. Hopefully he didn’t pull a hammy. You can see how he was holding on to Cairo when he was getting into it. I was at the game and had no idea it was he who started it. Tony has an issue with guys getting beaned and there is nothing wrong with that. But accidents do happen. Abreu gets hit a ton. I was at a Sox game in the 90s when Tony was managing Oakland, and I think it was Bobby Thigpen beaned one of their players. Tony ran out , took the bat, threw it against the netting behind home plate and started getting into it with Carlton Fisk. Batters get hit. It is unfortunate, especially if it’s the head or another area which causes injury. But it is part of the game.

They haven’t really been good offensively since the Houston series. I hope at some point soon they will have everyone in the line up, and I have the feeling numbers are going to go up.

So once a player hits a slump, there is no rebound? Looks like he is starting to come out of it to me.

Just missed a grand slam last night.

It is nt reasonable. Sorry the guy got hit in the head. It sucks. The pitcher was really disturbed. But if there is no intent, there is no fault. Sox pitchers still try to throw inside when they have no command. If that is Tony’s attitude, he should call out his pitchers and catchers like he did Yermin for hitting 3-0.

Baseball season must really piss you off. But you are correct, Tuesday’s game and tonight’s game are of equal importance, and since the rest of the AL Central has surrendered, neither are important. More important is making sure Eloy is ready to go for the playoffs.
