Out.

First ground ball out of the entire game against Cease.

Great play by Anderson.

Hopefully can get at least two more innings out of Cease. Pretty hot there but not the unbearable July/August weather.

Why in God's name is Pollock hitting second when he hasn't come close to earning it?

Well that's call the run scoring for today. Go get em Dylan. He's striking out too many getting his pitch count too elevated lol.

Ron?

Fine 1/18 SF. However you slice it...it's hardly success against a 13th round draft pick struggling mightily with his control. Especially missing an untold number of hittable pitches.

Just missed that one too.

1/19 with bases loaded.

Of course Vaughn not playing. Can't let young guys play too much.

1/18 with bases loaded this year. Vaughn the ONLY hit in that situation. Yikes.

Royals third base coach desperate with Royals 0/9 with RISP before that send. Same mistake Ewing has made a number of times this season...trying to force things a bit too much.

Heasley had over a 7 ERA his draft year out of OkState. Threw every pitch at different arm angles and control was non existent. Bumped velo from 92 to 94-95 touching 96. So both low (13th round) and Singer #4 overall from same 2018 draft.

Or listen to Beckham...had to turn off that feed. Ugh.

Dozier now 4/58 against Sox now lol. Pollock for RF when he can't play LF?

Might be Singer and Davis Martin for Gm 2, depending in the weather.

Cueto >>> $18 million for Keuchel.

Undoubtedly had a 5-6 player trade proposal to being Rafael Palmeiro back to the Cubs...

Who on the Sox staff would prefer to pitch to him rather than McGuire? That's very telling...if pitchers can't confidently go with breaking pitches, it cripples them when behind in counts.

Is that a result of the AL Central being so bad or the White Sox playing better? We were absolutely crushed by the Yankees. We have played relatively well against the Rays Angels Mariners and that sweep at Boston certainly stands out. Eventually the defense will get better when TLR finally starts learning he has to replace Grandal and Vaughn late each and every tight game late. And the bullpen statistically has to start doing better like the 2021 version after April.

When in the entire history of SoxTalk has one actually been honored? What is the bet, Abreu ends the year with a sub 600 ops? You're going to hedge that and push that up to 650 or 675 at the very least. At just 600 or higher it's a sucker bet.

Not good for Graveman but a competent LF gloves that two run double. Benintendi ball hit hard. Cueto was crafty...just enough velocity to be surprisingly effective and more Ks than I was expecting. Got out of a really tough situation to end 6th that looked like it should have gone to the pen but gutted it out with two runners on.

Robert didn't even hit that ball on the sweet spot of the bat. Bo Jackson-esque.

Watch out Ron...Jose Abreu is coming after you.
