Filipino humor? It’s actually popular on pizza in some parts of Asia.

Wind knocked that one down…

Cease now at 84 pitches…how long will they extend him when no realistic way to get the no hitter? Something like 437 pitches his last four starts. Well, that question was take out of the equation thankfully. No changeups thrown by Dylan the entire game. All FB SL CU. Twins just went up 5-3, bot 7. Arraez 3 run homer, he’s now at 364, 1 point ahead of TA7.

Abreu needs to be sitting on the bench instead of standing on a bad wheel for 2+ hours.

Robert somehow has only eight doubles nearly halfway through the season but the Sox desperately needed that one. 12 game hitting streak. Longest in the AL and maybe the majors…

Why do the White Sox always have to battle their own manager and coaching as well as training staff so much? If they could just be league average, but no. That’s too much to ask. Now we have given up 4-5 runs that should have been tacked on. Those won’t come back to haunt the Sox. Vaughn guessing fastball…guessed wrong and fooled badly.

So are DJ and Kasper…especially Jackson.

Anderson up to .363, battling with Arraez. And more poor baserunning. Boston caught sleeping, too. First base coach reacting late.

Ten outs, 7 k’s. Would prefer he still had the bullets in the gun for the 6th and 7th.

You can’t give up that many missed opportunities to score and not pay the price against Toronto.

Abreu visibly wincing.

Anderson needed to be at second and now 3rd…not the first baserunning error by Mendick this year. We should be up 3 or 4 to 0…Abreu needs to salvage something. Could have had a triple play there.

Alcohol-induced?

Or Rolen.

Harrison finally over a 600 ops but can’t come through there with a huge base knock to extend the lead.

Why is Zavala swinging 3-0? Interesting there TLR. Almost worked.

Stay inside the baseball. Three swings towards RF so far this inning.

Pollock finally over a 600 OPS against RHP. Blue Jays’ starters have struggled to a 9.31 ERA and fewer than 4 innings their last five games…bullpen really worn down.

Eloy Jimenez 0/3 tonight at DH. Not hurt as of yet. Maybe teach him to strike out rather than ground out…? Have to take the Gausman splitter up the middle and to RF just like they did with Verlander. Big power swings and you just top the ball into the ground for DPs.

He’s the anti-Uribe hands-wise. Hands of stone. Which would be quite useful for boxing and MMA. Naylor terrorizing the Twins now, too. 3-0.

Slider is killing off the Jays one by one…killing two birds with one stone.

Kirk was walking more than striking out before that at-bat. Pretty much half these guys will be in the All-Star game.

Plus Burger’s not as athletic…he picked up that ball he misplayed with the glove. More experienced players know the runner and barehand it. Can’t imagine all the plays he would struggle with at second base.

It’s warmer than SF, and has that nice cool crisp air at night by the water…

Is going at 75-85% actually protecting them, though? Look at the recent Grandal and Moncada injuries. One thing it does lead to is that getting into the scouting report that you run run run on the Sox outfielders other than Engel until they start cutting down runners with some consistency. Fwiw, the Eloy injury was obviously flukey, like Machado having a similar play over the weekend where the 1B actually blocked his path coming over into foul territory.
