95 was the highest yesterday...

This team was never constructed with defense in mind...

He would have just ended up throwing the ball away with his momentum going in the wrong direction.

Interesting route by Jimenez. At least he didn't run into Robert.

There's that dominant change.

As long as the offense just doesn't die against the pen. Is Jack worried about Gio's fastball and mechanics already...despite the conditions?

Predictable. Be happy with the lead and no injuries. Cubs game postponed. Sei-ya.

Missed it by 1/32nd of an inch... or was it 1/16th, Hawk?

Most starters targeting 70-80 pitches... Rodriguez nearing 60 already.

LuBob easy peasy swing.

That'll work. Sox RFers starting off well this year. Eaton did too, then fell off a cliff.

Wally Pipp Moncada

If the White Sox simply play like they’re expected to, all these distractions/controversies will go away. Except about TLR’s lineup construction…

I got pretty much universally slammed for writing Indians instead of Guardians…but that particular comment about Burger vs. Moncada is actually getting likes and laugh emojis on the previous page of the thread. Which seems like some are condoning it, or laughing it off as sarcasm. But then, every comment can be brushed aside with a similar rationalization. I would assert with 95% confidence it’s someone who was previously banned and has come back with a new screen name. Even all that prejudice about lighter skin tones being more “palatable” to women…just not even sure what to say anymore.

You forgot the part about playing the same RPG e-sports as Jake. Perhaps the ONLY thing the White Sox have done extremely well is opening up so many opportunities for Latin Americans on the playing field, Asians and African-Americans in the front office and among the coaching ranks…and loyalty to a number of ex players as well. This trope about Latin players being too lazy/nonchalant has been around since Clemente. It’s one of those things, like grindy overachieving players in baseball and heady gym rat point guards/coaches’ kids have to be white 98.9% of the time. Tiresome.

Burger is not going to be an outfielder…can we please just let him have one full healthy season at 3B, please? Even watching him at second is a bit reminiscent of Mark Teahen.

Don't think we can make any definitive conclusions about Gavin Sheets at this point...

That was his first MLB appearance, albeit an older guy. Was in Japan last year, throws 100 but wild and obviously made a mistake with the breaking pitch to speed up Beer’s bat. Hence the new closer Rogers, who for some odd reason had an elongated bullpen session in MN and was deemed unavailable to pitch. Weird. Don’t deserve to win anyway getting four hits against AZ. Fans are turning on Melvin already for using Stammen and the untested Suarez in that situation. Abrams should make his debut tmrw.

Upset the Cubs didn’t sell out? Their PD thread was up days or weeks ago? At any rate, you’re going to jinx the game thread anyway unless the Cubs and Sox are playing, in which case the Sox will undoubtedly win on an Abreu homer. The other reason is undoubtedly the 60-75% probability the game tmrw is rained out.

2000 after Charles Johnson and 2006 first half. 2003 and 2004 weren't too shabby, either.

David Robertson was our closer solution all this time, lol… And Tyler O’Neil is destroying the Pirates almost singlehandedly.

Yes, after the top four, it's garbage. Kwan has potential…but 85% of their talent is in the minor leagues.

High risk move for both organizations…
