Mazara, you just got aced. Too good a back door slider, fooled the umpire even.

I meant EE, he gets professional at-bats when he's on a really hot streak and locked in on the fastball.

Keuchel, Brett Anderson, Houser 3 of top 5 groundball rates in MLB.

Brewers have to decide if they want to go to Phelps, then Hader....or Hader for two full innings. Yet another tailor-made double play ball, this is just not their night so far.

Grandal, EE and Madrigal making contact were supposed to mitigate some of those bad tendencies. I mean, we're still one of the leading offenses in MLB, despite this game.

This game is on CRUISE CONTROL. And we fortunately avoided a LAIL appearance.

Renteria's REALLY going to insert Lail into THIS game, with just a one run deficit???

Expanded the zone. Okay. Eventually, we're going to come up with a big hit with RISP.

38% chase rate on balls outside of zone against RHP. #4 in MLB. He tends to get a lot more selective with two strikes, which is definitely a good habit. Still averaging about 3 pitches/PA.

China has about a 10-15 second delay. Thought it was gone by everyone's reaction...

The crazy thing is the White Sox already saw Houser in the exhibition game in Summer Camp. Usually that works to the hitting team's benefit the 2nd time around.

Gamel/Hader=ZZ TOP or 80's Hair Band, we'll go with Poison or Ratt. Back in high school, they were called "dirtballs," South Wallers (cutting class/smoking) or Trench Coat Mafia.

99.9% nobody is affected, lol. Fake news. Hoax. Pharmaceutical complex conspiracy.

The dreaded "hang with 'em" Hawkism would be apropos here.

Well, if they lose, we've only lost 1 hour 45 minutes of our lives, compared to last night's 4+ hours (imagine if Colome blew that one.)

Two more innings to get to the Brewers before Hader Time.

That would have been a double with Delmonico or Mazara out there... Fastest game in MLB this season, minus 7 inning DH?

Avi usually busts it down the 1B line a bit more than that...

Feeling a bit sorry for the Brewers, unpredictable 4 game layoff, White Sox, then the Twins.

"Yakety Yak" is a song written, produced, and arranged by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller for the Coasters and released on Atco Records in 1958, spending seven weeks as #1 on the R&B charts and a week as number one on the Top 100 pop list.

Does anyone still think we should go after George Springer despite Astro-Gate? Obviously, we signed Dallas, but he's not an everyday position player who directly benefited, at least as far as we know.

Two hits lost in less than one game for Yoan.

Gyorko and Hiura, neither well-known for their defense heretofore.

Minor league affiliate. Isolated from major population center/s. Controlled environment, where players can be strictly monitored. Not 100% sure, but they might even be owners or part-owners of that franchise, would have to double check. Used to be a lot more common than today. Seems like it's municipally owned, like the Clinton Lumber Kings. Brand new facility built for this year before whole COVID thing happened.

That Liriano/Nathan/Boof Bonser trade changed the AL Central for a decade.
