White Sox now two games ahead of 2020 pace, 37-23 vs. 35-25. After 47, 32-15 in 2020. Last 120 games=72-48, or 0.600 Full season projection=97-65 This year’s pace=100-62 15 years ago since a better first half....26 games over .500 in 2006 at ASB, struggled to 92-70 finished, missed playoffs behind DET and the Liriano/Santana/Nathan Twins.

But two of the longest?

He has given up, what, like 2 hits all season on that pitch...and one was an infield single???

Seems like there has been a double to lead off nearly every inning for Toronto...

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/ncaa-umpire-yells-at-college-world-series-player-admiring-home-run-044706937.html TLR has another fan...this one in the NCAA umpiring ranks.

Grandal now at .159/.810/9 HR Cardinals threatening to make it a game again in StL against CLE. Minnesota up 2-0 over the dreaded (for them) Yankees. Yankees could fall to just one game over .500 with a loss.

We're 14th now, averaging about 11,500. https://www.espn.com/mlb/attendance 1,573/game behind the Cubs.

That's your All-Star, Chicago White Sox LHP Carlos Rodon...

The odds of Rodon possibly going 5 and even 6 innings after 4 outs in the 45 pitch count range....wouldn't have taken that Vegas bet.

He has always been a 4-6 inning pitcher due to walks, high K and BB counts...

Or an EPL football game... 98 touches to 11 for the White Sox.

You think they'd be "on orders" from TLR to sustain that offensive inning as long as possible to give Rodon some much needed rest.

Sox innings=2-3 minutes (and that's saying a lot with control-challenged Ray on the bump) Blue Jays' inning=average of 15-20 minutes

Well, on the plus side, 3-4 years ago....this game was a 5-0 or 6-0 Blue Jays rout. Rodon has learned to battle his behind off.

Indians already up 5-0. Juggernaut status denied with some of our starters looking shakier and Kopech on the mend.

Engel sucks again, lol...

Giving up so many stolen bases is really going to kill us in tight playoff games. Avoids DP...puts runners in scoring position and increases pressure on the pitchers, etc.

45 pitches for 4 outs. Yikes. We might need Reynaldo Lopez up to eat innings in games like this. Or Wright. Whoever, doesn't really matter.

MLB.com already running with this headline, haha. Vladinator vs. Yermínator MLB.TV: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has participated in a Derby; Yermín Mercedes wants to. This will be fun.

Burger with his 8th double, 1/3 (283/882)...Charlotte/Tomshaw getting clobbered. Can the Yankees manage to lose to the Twins? Also, Indians up 2-0 early over the slumping Cardinales...

Yeah, the only question about this team is the pitching. A bit reminiscent of the 2006 White Sox.

Actually surprised TLR didn't walk Grichuk to load the bases in the first out of respect for a former Cardinal...

Alexei Ramirez and Leury Garcia are NOT the White Sox entrants...actually, Uribe was really good at this particular skill.

Burger is next, and Burdi made it as well...Courtney Hawkins just signed with BIRM since Cespedes will never arrive. J/K.

I can just see another Kamikaze Pilot episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Poor Marty Funkhouser.
