mmmmmbeeer

How slow is Yas? That slow.

Christ, I can't believe that went out.

He's getting ahead of hitters often enough, it seems. His problem is that he's become an absolute nibbler (like much of our bullpen, if we're being honest). Nibble, nibble, nibble with what are often non-competitive pitches until the count goes full and then he's forced to throw a good strike and hitters, given DK's pure 'stuff', aren't going to miss those pitches. I just don't think he trusts his stuff anymore and is scared of throwing too hittable of a pitch when ahead in the count.

Is Hernandez pitching that well or did the Sox come out expecting to lose due to DK starting? If the latter, it's time to give him the hook. The leaders in the clubhouse can answer that question.

Cue the soccer coach GIF.

I'm Tony Larussa's grandson.

Also, fuck KC for trying to steal there.

At least his beard is well manicured. Show some goddamned emotion, man. You're costing your team and you're taking it like a chump.

Santana needs to bow his head in shame after that AB.

I think he has a blister on his index finger...was messing with it after his last AB. Probably tried to throw without it and that was the result.

'member when this dude was blaming outfield positioning for his struggles? Yeah, that was pretty awesome.

Who you going to start? Billy? Keuchel is a ground ball pitcher.

Awful. Nibble, nibble, nibble until he's forced to throw a beach ball down the middle of the plate.

Dreaded leadoff walk.

HAHAHAHA. Love it.

hmmmm....fastball 5MPH down.

Stacy CLEARLY out of his element but he's definitely trying hard and is still enjoyable to listen to.

Why would they need to review that, or contact NY?

No clue what this could be about.

I'm very encouraged both by this approach at the plate pre-injury, as well as the fact he's been able to build upon that success since coming back. That said, it's incredibly premature to be asking questions about him being one of the best White Sox of all time. The tools are there but there have been a ton of guys who have come into this league as 5-tool threats who just drifted out of the game without ever reaching their potential. I'm seriously excited for what he could do for this franchise but let's pump the brakes a bit on the GOAT talk until he plays an entire season or two.

Gordo pulled a Stoney on that Lu dong....called it perfectly.

Yo has literally been the hottest hitter on this team over the past 2 weeks.

Eh, whatever. Not happy and there are obviously problems with this team's approach, both in the batter's box and in the pen. That said, tomorrow is the last game of this absolutely BRUTAL August schedule and we get to head back home on Friday. These guys are pros, just gotta hope they can figure it out. There's simply too much talent on this roster and too many good outings from our SP to be under .500 since the break.

Protect mode in a 3-1 count. Looked like Leury protecting in an 0-0 count.

He's pitched B2B multiple times this season.
