Many, there must be a rule that every Sunday night game goes roughly 4 hours long...feels like two games already.

Anyone in the NL West should have played the DBacks frequently enough for LaRussa to have noticed...

I topped out at 77 MPH with a long-arm action, haha. That might work to get half this White Sox line-up out. As far as the line-up goes, missing TA and Eloy Jimenez, two of the top 75 players in baseball, that's going to hurt any team.

Of course, there's ANOTHER rule of White Sox baseball. Guys like Soria, Tyler Clippard and Cishek that leave the White Sox become impossible to beat once they're on another team.

Why in God's name is Hamilton not bunting there? Luis Robert hitting one of the softer .333's in the majors, lol...we'll take it, after how he ended up for most of last year.

Any alcoholic libations tonight?

But but but Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger. Three presidents or candidates 72-78 years old, etc.

Ironically, got the out on an 89 MPH change-up. Have to pray Hamilton can manufacture a run here...would be a good time to look as a hitter like the most expensive contract in White Sox history.

Just For Men will lose one of their clients...

How many runs has the bullpen given up (earned and unearned) so far this season? On the plus side, the way this game started out, there was no way Cease was going to escape without a loss. The suddenly hittable bullpen has more holes than the Titanic right now. Kopech to stem the bleeding? Foster?

You can't get behind 2-0 against a quality hitter and throw a 97 hittable pitch like that.

Well, so much for brilliant tactician TLR. Everything that can go wrong is going wrong this series, lol.

We might as well bring BACK Rondon the way this season is going if Timmy's out. Rendon.

It's not like he was bringing in a funky lefthander against Walsh. A bit curious to go to another hard-throwing RHP.

This is interesting....now all of a sudden future closer Heuer is our shutdown guy in the 5th and 6th (hopefully.)

Someone brought up the 1983 Winnin' Ugly team earlier in the Game Thread...Cease has to have the shortest rope in the career of TLR. Of course, he'll be crucified if he brings Ruiz into a tie game.

Stassi managed to get two errors on that play...passed ball and errant throw. Wow.

Also called to mind the Robin Ventura home plate injury back in the day...lucky he didn't have an ACL injury, his feet gave instead of stayed planted.

Shades of Torii Hunter/Jamie Burke, minus the maliciousness/rivalry. Or AJP/Michael Barrett.

What the hell is going on? What an insane series to start the year...

2/13 8 k's. Need better from Moncada and Robert with runners on base/RISP if we're going anywhere this season.

100.9 fouled off. Crazy.

Cishek ready...not going to be so lucky. Of course, the way that Yoan's going, he probably would be struck out on 3 pitches. 7 K's already? WP is our best offense tonight. Ohtani has to be getting fatigued throwing that many high velocity, high torque pitches.

Interesting decision here from Maddon...

There’s no reason they couldn’t have signed Odorizzi and Cruz to take control of the division at least.
