Leury trying to go back to back, comes up about 10 feet short.

Show the rest of the lineup how to hit Andrew!

AV!

If you take out his outings against us, his numbers are probably really bad.

Dozier is insane on defense.

Second life for Adam

He's getting pre-crackdown spin rates right now.

Nice comeback from 3-0.

I'm sure if we were hitting better as whole, we would. Just remember that we didn't score more than 2 runs off of any KC starter last week.

I think if you're Dozier, it's pretty obvious you're gonna get a slider.

Jose let a curveball right down the middle go but then reached for a change up way outside.

He's gotta figure something out. If they're just pitching him inside he's gotta maybe start thinking about inside-outing the ball more.

Hernandez has a lot more power from the right side.

I'm guessing he's got some good hair gel now lol I notice him going to his hair a lot between pitches. Probably trying to get a sweat and rosin mixture going.

You have to wonder if the extra day of rest did him some good. I've seen him go as low as 94 on some fastballs in his recent starts. He's pumping 98-99 consistently tonight.

Dylan with a real lively fastball tonight. It's been good when it's been in the zone.

What bothered me about that PA is that we either tried to get him to swing at an out of the zone fastball or Dylan missed 3 straight times with a fastball he was trying to paint.

Got away with a high slider to Perez.

Lost Santana after having him 1-2. That happens way too much against Santana.

Sox are only 7-6 against the Royals this year and 3-5 after starting 4-1 against them. Let's win this series and start looking better on offense.

Not too terrible.

I think this is the first off-season where almost everything went according to plan by this FO. How many times have we gone into the off-season with some FA/trade rumors that never materialize? How many times were we the 2nd or 3rd team for a big free agent? When I saw the Lonzo + DeMar rumors, I didn't actually think they'd pull it off. Yet here we are.

I think it's 2, he might have messed that part up.

Yup. This either works out and we somehow get lucky like the Hawks and Heat did the past 2 years or this hodge podge of good but not great players doesn't work out together and we gotta absolutely blow it up in 2 years. I will say that DeRozan is probably the best FA we've lured to Chicago in a LONG time. The fact that we got Lonzo and DeRozan, 2 of the bigger names in FA, is something that never would have happened under GarPax. We definitely overpaid to do it, but that's what happens when you aren't a big FA destination.
