This game thread isn't going to make it to 15 pages at this rate...considering just 2 back in August.

If they can even beat the Braves in ATL. Home field huge there.

Drury showed Achilles' heel defensively. Had Gonsolin on ropes early but he escaped.

Lol. MiLB tonight. Dodgers these days are like Yankees/Twins.

You jinxed Kopech lol.

Not exactly...Twins/Blue Jays is less painful. Just following here and Gameday.

What the heck does Jeremy Haber even do on a day to day basis?

Has charter club membership with Cease. Lynn and Cueto old school there.

Don't think he has the authority to make that decision, though.

Certainly no excuses with schedule easing recently. Pesky Orioles won't go away this year.

Lamb in LF or even RF would have been better..

Twins/Blue Jays game you should have a shot at offense against Bundy at least. Not not so far...

Obviously the Sox can't figure out the right buttons to push. It would be easier if it was vision oriented or something off field like Dunn in 2011. As it stands, they are 7-10 days from having to replace him with Burger.

Just looking forward to Leury Pollock Grandal and Moncada on 2022-23 Sox calendar cover.

You mean former White Sox Top 5-10 prospect...this is not good for Hahn, lol. Lucky to be spared Rodon treatment. Maybe Los would have finally motivated Sox hitters to show up? Phillies on an absolute tear right now.

Benintendi was the other target but so beloved then he was simply un tradable then...no way to remove him from a WS contending roster.

Moncada changed his luck with the pink shoes lol. Harrelson and Ted Williams would hate those shoes with a passion except Mother's Day and that Breast/Prostate cancer day thing they do everything year.

Maybe a clue that outfield defense is pretty important...

Jimenez a potentially MVP quality hitter...but never going to be a well rounded player with all of his value coming from offense. But yeah, Moncada was/is key. Grandal Pollock Leury can't be compensated for by Abreu/Robert/Vaughn and the defense.

I would take a free flier on LBJ and just hope for a hot streak. Feels more likely than Engel going on a tear. But not by much.

That was right in the middle of pennant race pressure as a rookie...they quickly reduced he wasn't ready. Way too many K's as would become obvious the next two seasons with the Sox.

Guardians came to play tonight.

https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-teams-2022-postseason-urgency-rankings Little bit surprisingly, Sox are still middle if the pack here too. Top 3 are quite obvious, then it gets murkier. Guardians 14th. Pretty pathetic for the Central that 2/3 contenders almost completely blew off the trade deadline or actually subtracted and gave another experienced catcher to the first place team in Leon. "This is a team with a ton of talent in its prime, an owner who wants to win right now, a farm system that isn’t producing a ton of future talent, a division that isn’t particularly terrifying and a manager who, well, likely isn’t thinking about how his team’s going to be doing in 2030. That’s to say: The time is now. For all their headaches this year, the White Sox are only three games out of the AL Wild Card and in the AL Central, which means everything they wanted out of this season is still in front of them. But if they fall short this year … there is going to be a pretty huge reckoning on the South Side."
