Dunno if you guys remember The Dugout/Word Up Thome but WordUpThome: HEY TEAM, JI WordUpThome: JIM THOME HERE, NEW MANAGER OF YOUR CHICAGO WHITE STOXS WordUpThome: FIRST ITEM ON THE OL' AGENDER - HAVE YOU ALL, PERCHANCE, CONSIDERED SOCKING A FEW MORE DINGERS HERE & ANON? WordUpThome: I THINK IT WOULD GREATLY IMPROVE OUR CHANCE OF VICTORY AGAINST THOSE PESKY IND GUARDIANS AND TWIN CITY TRASH BAGS WordUpThome: THANKS I'LL HANG UP AND LISTEN

Good burn Clase out tonight. Make him work White Sox (they won’t).

Lynn has also had trouble after 80 pitches in every start this year. You keep an eye on that and have backup ready in case he struggles. This isn't hard.

I'm fine with Lynn starting the inning but after the first hitter reached he should be out. DEFINITELY after the second.

He needs to be out now.

Yoan KILLED that ball, unfortunately it was right at the RF. Tim and Robert had awful at-bats.

He swung at a pitch in the dirt

Lynn in trouble again

Seby had a pitch there but couldn't keep it fair

On the positive side there, Leury did not GIDP.

Given how the Sox have handled 2B and RF why do you want to roll the dice here

Sinker the only pitch really working for Quantrill right now

I'd expect better than 5 runs given up per game if he's actually healthy.

Quantrill's control is questionable. Also Eloy MURDERED a ball foul. Hope that's a good sign.

It'd also be nice if one of your big time starters didn't put you in a big hole in the first.

I was gonna say, that HR sounded like 2019 Yoan.

Yeah, that's my thought too. Mentioned it earlier in the thread - going from the Dodgers to this had to be quite a shock.

Big Frank said the same during one of the post game shows recently.

Wouldn't be surprised if Pollock was one of the players. He came from an org which I would assume operates completely differently.

Cubs had an 8-3 lead against the Dodgers in the third. It's now 9-8 Dodgers in the third.

Can't believe it. He's top 10 or top 5 in just about every pitching stat this year.

They may have swept the Guardians but this Tigers team is still awful and scraping out a split is just... bleh.

That play had disaster all over it. Whew.

Luckily Leury was there to kill the rally for the Tigers

I like Pollock now
