And first month Yermin.

Their odds of winning it all past October, 2023, are decreasing by the minute. TLR's presence alone is contributing to these falling odds.

Royals made their first error today...then it was later changed to a hit. Twins' announcers were poking fun how a ball that Benintendi clearly dropped in foul territory the day before was a non-error as well. Home score keepers.

18 games over .500 in mid August? The White Sox would be running away with the division. That was a total collapse. This is more of a malaise/apathy/hubris/self-induced one.

Just think, we had the best record in the ENTIRE AL a scant 36 hours ago.

Don't forget not trading for Escobar last year because they were supposedly worried about his quad. So we got Hernandez instead. After Nicky Two Strikes went down...

Is it Anderson or TLR going off the rails on a crazy train this series?

Interference?

When it rains it pours. Ron will be happy at least.

This year's Goodwin...

Anderson just not focused this series.

Haha....looks like the White Sox there.

Late April/early May timetable. Had a feeling Haseley would be out matched.

Detroit pen out to undo Pineda's start... Once again, the Indians scrap and get guys like Stephan in Rule 5. We have to overspend for Graveman and the oft injured Kelly.

Lift and pull. See 2000-2008 Sox baseball. It worked one magical year when we had the pitching. On a personal level, that's why the Royals were so fun to watch those two years...the complete opposite of Sox modus operandi in terms of fundamentals and execution, defense, speed, making contact, keeping the line moving with singles and doubles, shutdown pen.

Man, all of our core hitters are just not clicking right now. Hopefully getting swept will wake this team and manager up. But probably not. Cleveland has had their foot on the Sox throats from Game 1 second inning.

Well, we will be playing this name that veteran starter game at least until Lynn comes back and/or Rodon gets hurt (not necessarily predicting that one.) Wacha also comes to mind, Heaney although pretty sure he's out now.

Just walk Ramirez. Screw it.

Well, Yermin's first month was fun, Billy Hamilton's energy and excitement playing the game especially stands out, Robert's second half...even Goodwin a couple times. Sheets as well. Kimbrel's flop really killed a lot of excitement IMO.

He certainly makes it less likeable. I remember Maddon jerseys outselling even Abreu (only Sox jersey available) in 2015-2017 back home in the Quad Cities. How many are buying TLR jerseys and proudly wearing them, other than members of the Reinsdorf family?

They better score against Sandin or Shaw because Stephan and Clase are TOUGH.

The AL West is certainly more exciting...it's arguable. And the White Sox are just a pretender until they win a postseason series. Plus the Astros have Verlander back. Thor looks good, too. The difference might be what the Twins get out of Buxton and Correa.

The problem is McEwing also is being forced to be aggressive due to the tepid offense. Hedges can't hit, but he can certainly catch and throw. Sigh. Promising inning wiped out again.

Not in this division. In the East or West in both leagues, sure.

Have to agree to disagree on this one. Leury has to be aware of his teammates ahead of him...something we learn in Little League is not to run right up the back of the guy in front of us. If he's the only base runner then you can praise him for his amazing read...if he gets doubled off first, what a terrible base running play!
