Wow a clutch hit against his old team. That must be satisfying. Lux slipped or really close at home with Abreu.

Ethical dilemmas...cheering for Donaldson to strike out against Twins.

He's going to get inevitably get exposed as an everyday player.

Price in.

Can we at least pretend to tag up to get a potentially errant throw from Bellinger? Mendick hesitant now after last week. Can't even move the runner into scoring position. Sheesh.

Could have had Escobar instead. 1.1 fWAR.

Reynaldo Lopez warming up. 1-2-3 set down in order for 5th time.

No choice. Bullpen can't cover all those innings unless you want to surrender the game.

4/39 must be the worst MLB stretch with bases loaded for any team over a two month stretch in history.

But the pitchers have a big differential pitching to McGuire...especially the high leverage guys. Plus Grandal can't even catch more than 50-60% of the time.

At age 34, and with his injury history, absolutely nothing is a surprise.

Four seamer right down the pike? Everyone sits down.

Uh oh bases loaded situation not good.

Maalox Moment

Dear Hahn: Send down Sheets and get a real LH hitter. Or send yourself down.

Baines is coaching 1B?

Juan Minaya trying to hold down Yankees...4-3 NY a lot closer than pitching matchups would have indicated. 8 k's a season high for Kopech. Four 1-2-3 innings too.

Kopech only three Ks away from career high of 10 against Rangers. More former Sox...Alvarez needs his own Disney movie.

Sounds like WeWork. Or don’t think, just do. The White Sox badly need a rebranding, whatever their motto or tagline is this season...it’s clearly not working.

They might as well fold the franchise if they can’t be consistently competitive in the Central. Imagine if they were in the AL East or NL West…or buried a million games behind the Mets or Astros. That would be even bleaker than current reality. Plus the Yankees are going to do their annual trouncing of the Twins.

LHHers the new Moneyball niche. The week before getting ahead in counts. That said, the Guardians continue to hang in there offensively with a no name offense outside of Ramirez. I mean, who the heck is Oscar Gonzalez and where did he come from? Could be at .500 after tonight and enjoying the easiest June schedule of the three teams. Other than Jose Ramirez, their entire starting lineup has come from just the Clevinger and Lindor deals, and the under the radar Myles Straw move (and extension) when the Astros chose McCormick. And that doesn’t even include Quantrill on the pitching side. Impressive retooling effort as per usual. If they could somehow get the old Karinchak back, they would be even more formidable. Thank god they don’t have double the payroll like the Sox do.

Or it could be the annual game of throwing out other options (Burger at second!) to avoid the appearance of making a trade out of desperate “backs against the wall” positions.

Besides TLR, the only arguable cases are Atlanta and Seattle, and those seem highly unlikely to end in firings at this point.

First time all season that four AL East teams are lined up in playoff position…hopefully they beat each other up the next four months.

Prefect symmetry. Scott Hairston, who had the last Mets’ cycle, the son of former Sox Jerry Hairston. 1.1 fWAR, on pace for 3.5ish…
