5 out save this early in the season is a gutsy move by Maddon...this will be his 3rd appearance in 4 games already.

Grandal joining the cast of veteran players not to come through in key situations this game.

A-Rod, why would the White Sox try to rebuild when they've been doing that for five years?

If you take away those inflated numbers against the Royals and Tigers, how good was our offense, really? You can say the same thing for the Twins over the last 2-3 seasons, putting up all those homers and fizzling in the postseason. Yesterday, Bummer was held back to save the game...instead of being used, now he's going to be used in the 7th of a game we're trailing? They're being that selective about using Michael Kopech?

How many relievers have the Rays produced in the last five years? My god...it's boring baseball, but it's quite effective, and the only practical way to compete with the Yankees, Red Sox and Blue Jays...on that shoestring budget.

We better score in the 8th, because we're unlikely to score off Iglesias...if your MVP can't come through in that situation, don't know what you can do or say.

Abreu never saw Slegers well. RISP issues continue.

What the hell is A-Rod talking about?

Pujols is being treated like late 80's Canseco/McGwire this series...

They might as well bring back Yonder Alonso to demonstrate that same 4-3 put-out for the rest of the LH hitters to emulate.

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.)
