8/26 White Sox vs Rangers: Burke vs Gore 6:40 PM
Bad time to be aggressive Doyle. Good on Acuna for the double, even though we had a bad break on it becoming a ground rule double. In another universe we’re up 4-0 here. The ball bounced our way a lot yesterday, so it’s par for the course. Most impactful thing we can root for here is Burkey settling in and getting some quick outs. Really want him to put up zeros and manage his pitch count. Get ahead, get ahead, get ahead. GO SOX!

This home plate umpire is the utmost professional. It’s also slick that as some of our heavy hitters are scuffling, other guys seem to be picking up some slack and showing out in taking a leap in their development at the dish. Gotta get Burke to settle in the zone quickly.

Was that 2-2 pitch in there and a missed challenge opportunity to end the inning?

Just taking a look at the lineup - wish Will wouldn’t play matchups as much sometimes. He’s got to be aware that Colson has better splits against lefties. Bummer because he had some encouraging at bats yesterday. Prove me wrong Acuna!

I’ve been pining for 8 games over since we reached 7 before. LFG - get to 7 and then this time I’ll be looking at 10 in sight!

You must certainly not know the painful pity which is the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

And people say we have a horseshoe up our ass or whatever? Indians are leprechauns lately.

It’s really only meant for traditional closers who primarily only come in with a lead in the ninth with a clean inning.

Is It Time To Call Up Bonemer?
Oh… just that? 😆

And that's a no white flag waving White Sox winner!
Uh…. Um…. No.

I noticed that they play the Indians soon and a couple of times in their remaining games. KC beats Cleveland and loses their ass to us. All is well in the white Sox world.

Holy s%*#! Talk about unexpected. Love it!

Same here. What the f***! Pretty lame soft ass s%*#.

Dude. That fucking sucked.

I’m telling you - the plan for Kwan is to hit him in the fucking head. Throw Jram on that plan too. Not serious injury “hit in the fucking head” more like knock the helmet off and back them off the plate for the rest of the series “hit in the fucking head”.

I don’t think .500 cuts it IMO. Cleveland is turning it on and have a few meh teams ahead of them. Play .500 and carry out operation SWEEP THE CENTRAL!!! In all seriousness… just take each of the series and sprinkle in a sweep here or there when it comes to our remaining games facing in division opponents. Do that and play .500 ball the rest of the way… we’re golden.

Fegan on deadline acquisitions...
His moves were telling. To me they spoke of arrogance. He’s really firm in the belief in the departments he’s built and he’s really firm in his belief of our kids on the farm. I think that arrogance was shortsighted where there should have been a more balanced approach. There should have been more of a willingness to sacrifice some of the future for the present. Oh well… if it doesn’t pan out and he owns this, I’ll forgive it. If it pans out then he was right and he’ll earn some respect. Big gamble in my book. But then again, this team has responded every single time they are challenged or questioned… so maybe he has cause to feel such confidence. Another example we all likely forgot about was that Woods kid that we got in the Gonzo deal with Pittsburgh. Dude got lit up like a Christmas tree in his first Charlotte outing but has since gone something like 11 games 1.43 ERA and double digit strikeouts. That may be another example of taking on a project and his coaching staff bringing results.

Lock out 2027
Whatever happens with the CBA, I just hope the Sox get more beefed up in their scouting departments:

Tristan Peters will wake up WED morning as the fourth best CFer in MLB by fWAR
Meh… he’ll probably suck but that was fun.

8/25 Games
Thorpe threw better than the line looked, after watching his outing. I won’t be shocked either way if they want to see another start or if he’s starting for the Sox on Sunday. Likely depends most on how other variables shake out in the coming days. Only discouraging things were the lower velo and him not going at least 5. Encouraging things, continues to get swing and miss while only facing soft contact.

Sam Antonacci Appreciation Thread
Twice is a trend. First pitch / first at bat… same thing ( nearly ). 😆 Days are better when Sam is being a Psycho. Winners feel sweeter. Colors are brighter. The sky is clearer. Gotta love it — Keep it rolling!
