Seems like they will push Kopech to go two innings. Garcia and Leone are only other options.

Who is going to be asked to close the game?

Leadership/experience/mentor...blah blah blah.

9th inning will be heart of Guardians' lineup.

Too many pitches over the heart of the plate...Fletcher finally tagged one. Game back on for the vaunted Sox bullpen.

2005-08 Brian Anderson would be considered a veritable slugger on this team.

Can we somehow tie this into the Cubs and their relatively better health?

At least Wilson and Measure have been solid. Jordan seems to be gaining velocity by the week.

Starting to think that a real manager will be assigned by the commissioner's office to prevent further embarrassment...directly paid/subsidized by NYC offices of MLB.

This game was basically jinxed when someone wrote Soroka should get a $10 million extension for 2025.

Sigh. Not a shock when you bunt for the bottom of this lineup.

For Maldonado to drive in lol?

You don't play for the one run lead in Cleveland...still the middle innings. Playing not to lose here.

2025 club option includes a $500,000 buyout So Stassi just that buyout for next year. Pretty much no way that's exercised.

Steal money from poor JR. Well that was almost 5-4. Jesus.

If only the Sox drafted Kwan and saved that $75 million on Benintendi...

The run at 75-85% from the TLR days will surely be revisited lol. But that's equally dumb and not supported by any proof that it's not even more ineffective at preventing injuries.

Sheets shouldn't even be on the team. His numbers are fine for now but it won't last...Lee needed to move that runner to third and failed. Guardians surely will score at least three more runs tonight. Guardians +36 leading MLB in RS/RA...best in baseball. White Sox worst in AL. Two off worst in the majors coming into tonight.

Saving money to not hire another manager...just locked in a $29 million loss for JR. Unless they can recoup some of it back through insurance. Lloyd's of London actuaries should get fired for covering Moncada Eloy Robert with policies, though.

Benintendi actually made a good defensive play. What do you know...

Where have you gone...Romy Gonzalez and Popeye Rodriguez lol? At the rate things are going...Remillard will get extensive playing time before all is said and done. It certainly won't be Ramos or Montgomery...just keep them away from Chicago as long as Grifol is still the manager.

Almost fitting or karma after how good things were with Herm Schneider. Between running off Thomas and not drafting his son...Brian Ball lawsuit, etc.

Shewmake and Mendick and Sosa are going to benefit from that.

Moncada's season done. Goodbye $29 million. Smart job keeping him in the lineup, Grifol. Hamstring...probably out 2-3 months.

First hit of the season for My Pillar. Threatening the six run high in runs scored against DET. Arias thought there were two outs. Should have cut down Pillar at third with the ball hit in front of him. Not sure what Pillare was doing either. Maybe not used to being on base yet.
