Great game after trailing until the stretch run.

Benintendi is up to .250 and he is now at 62 RBI this year. But with the L/R swaps he as over 100 less plate appearances but has less than 10 RBI than Vargas the leader. Maybe give him some Lefty spots as well to see how he does against some the left side.

Will Venable and his staff are doing a very good job of keeping this team in front of their division. Now that Boston is struggling, the White Sox could be a fun team when the playoffs start regardless of who they play.

Agree

I think since the Sox were in first place ( with even a small cushion) , they should have been more aggressive in getting at least one "good" starting pitcher. The team and the fans deserved that but I don't think "management" felt the same way.

Not sure according to Red Sox announcers

I think they will find a lefty for the 8th inning against Boston. 8th inning is when Sweet Caroline takes over

It is really hot in Boston today and it has been sunny all day. It is 89 at 4:15 and humidity in mid 60's. Probably better it is a night game instead of a day game since it is so muggy. I am confident the Sox will win tonight..................

In all fairness, most of the AL is mediocre. Only the Red Sox with this incredible stretch they are having, are battling the Rays and Yankees for the East. The Rays and the Yankees, that we saw last week, were playing about the same as us. Go out and sweep the Indians this weekend.

It would be great but Sonny Gray will be pitching tomorrow with a 13-2 record and an ERA below 3.00. I think we will need a miracle to get the White Sox over the hump tomorrow.

Agree we are in a tough stretch. But I remind myself that we are battling the Twins and the Indians. Last 10 games the Sox are 4-6, Indians are 3-7 and Twins are 5-5. All 3 teams teams appear to be in the same boat and the Sox are still in front with August coming this weekend.

White Sox, Indians and Twins are all struggling around .500 these days. But Sox continue to keep a small lead. Maybe one of the teams will make a decisive trade but if not this race may go into September with all 3 fighting it out.

Boston has been hot the last few weeks. In both White Sox games, the Red sox got off to early leads and then expanded their leads. Boston got 2 straight games of good starting pitching on top of it so the White Sox took it on the nose. But Chicago has been able to to bounce back and the All-Star break after this weekend will give the team a chance to right the ship after the break.

11 runs on 16 hits is not a bad loss? Regardless of who is on the hill, it was a bad loss. Maybe the Sox need cooler weather..........................................

I think the White Sox Park have loose rims at home , so the Sox should benefit when we get some home cooking this weekend............................................

Mayer may not be a bum. He was hurt for a lot of his rookie season. He has won the starting 2nd base position this spring and had a very productive first game. Way too early to label him a bum. We shall see how he does this year

I went to a wake this week for a man who passed away at 106. He was very active running his own store until he was 104 as was his wife who survived him. I hope Jerry doesn't last till 96 and Getz is still the GM at that point.

My problem with Hays is he is a pretty good LF when he is healthy. But he was not healthy "enough" in 2024 and 2025. We will see how he looks in 2026

Hays, 30, last year hit .266/.315/.453 with 15 home runs in 2025 and was one of Cincinnati’s best offensive players when healthy. However, multiple injuries limited him to 103 games in 2025. He also dealt with injuries in 2024 with the Baltimore Orioles and Philadelphia Phillies.

Boston media has been pretty positive about getting Bregman for 3 years but now they have to find a replacement.

Dodgers and Red Sox gave up on him but he is 30 so maybe a 1 Year deal would work. But a multi year would have to be a buy 1 get 1 free...................

Hopefully, whoever gets taken as number i, is the start of our ascension from the ashes.

I don't think they are losing on purpose but they want to have a payroll as low as possible. Unfortunately, that really means the losses will keep mounting up.

Tonight's game had live streaming options with Fubo and ESPN+.

I assume JR will be calling La Russa to see if he has a place in the organization next spring................................
