It was 4 yesterday and 4 today and it will be 4 before the games tomorrow. Hopefully the Tigers give us some help because I don't have faith in ReyLo tomorrow or the Sox against Bieber and Plesac the next two games.

1 and 1/2 games*, the Twins are off tonight and Thursday

The division

Sox are really going to blow this, huh?

Grandal will probably be the one catching him in the playoffs.

Yeah, at this point 2-6 the rest of the way probably gets it done for winning the division, but it might get dicey.

Everyone is saying this is a tanking lineup or whatever, but literally just one everyday starter is getting the day off.

Really sucks for Hamilton. I hope he still gets his shot eventually.

Further, he is not being paid an MLB salary nor accruing service time. The White Sox essentially get back the time he missed in the 2019 season due to injury. Why anyone would still be holding a grudge over this the day after the White Sox clinch a playoff spot for the first time in 12 years is beyond me.

White Sox are 33-13 on days where they play one baseball game.

Edwin should sit against every starting pitcher that has a 94+ mph fastball. If some soft tosser comes in out of the pen in one of those games he can pinch hit. It's obvious he can't catch up to velocity and teams are taking advantage of it.

Obviously Bob caveats apply here, but it seems like maybe there is a few more days before rosters have to be finalized for the playoffs.

I think service time games should be over and the White Sox should do what gives them the best chance at winning a World Series. I could be convinced that Vaughn doesn't improve their odds much this year though.

I find it interesting that Steiver and Lopez are both still on the roster. Guess we can also give up the dream of Vaughn being on the playoff roster.

It'll be hard to forget when they build the statue outside the stadium.

Come here bb

Easy peasy

The next ball Eloy quicky gets back to the infield will be the first.

TIIIIIIIMMMMYYYY

As I was saying

I could go for the old Alexei butcher-boy right here.

Yay, winning is good! Thank you for pulling Mize lol.

Knee jerk reaction I voted 9-8, but given the pitching concerns that might be a little optimistic.

He's still on pace for a 4 fWAR season even in a down year and his Statcast numbers are all encouraging. MAYBE he signs a 1 year deal because of all the uncertainty with how teams will spend money this off-season, but at 30 he can't afford to take a middling two or three year deal. He is an excellent all-around ball player, this isn't going to be a Castellanos or Ozuna situation.
