Hot crowd mic tonight

Wow you mean players can crush hanging sliders?

That ball sure was stung

lol that was strike three.

You can complain Yoan but he threw two fastballs right down the middle to you. You're the reason that at-bat sucked.

That was a strike.

Because the stubborn morons in charge are enamored with his success last year and don't want to admit he's not good. Haseley should've been up here a long time ago - he's also probably not very good but at least he can kind of play defense and walk a little.

Pathetic.

Sorta got your wish

Oakland sucks on defense

Wishful thinking - I want to be able to stretch my creativity on masturbation jokes for McGuire homers.

"And McGuire really CRANKED that DONG!"

Menechino's approach is PERFECT for this. Turn Gallo into an opposite field singles hitter! But seriously if anyone is gonna do well with an oppo approach it's an 80 raw power guy.

Zavala can't catch.

Graveman being all over the place isn't helping.

Right down the middle Tim. Don't get yourself thrown out you dumbass.

Cron looking fastball and got the slider

I wonder if that Kimbrel guy is available. Numbers are down so he shouldn't cost much and he's due for a rebound!

At this elevation? Hard to do.

Not gonna overturn that

For sure. I don’t know if they’ll be able to make much of a playoff dent unless they get super hot, though.

Will the Sox score more runs or hit into more double plays today?

They also spend a TON on drafting, international signings and player development. If the White Sox had a $190m payroll AND poached some drafting and development talent from SF, Cleveland, Tampa, NYY, LA, etc. they'd be in a way better spot.

This is why I'm nervous about trading what little depth the Sox have right now.

If KW and Reinsdorf are able to exert this kind of control and Hahn takes it, he'll never go anywhere until KW leaves and Jerry dies. They'll make sure to keep him around because they know any real GM candidate wouldn't stand for that.
