The Mighty Mite

So far in this series the Sox look deader than the city of Detroit.

I know Braden had a great start but I thought they brought him up too early, he needed more time at AAA.

After we swept them they went to Tampa Bay and destroyed the Rays, they looked like Murderers Row in that series.

We need a big inning, things are sort of dead.

Agree on that, I like Meidroth but at this point I’m not sure we would get all that much in return as every team is looking for pitching.

What would you hope to get in return?

Ditto

Ant Man ! 1-0 Sox

Perez had a nice game with a single and a homer and Venable pinch hits B. Monty, bad move especially as Braden has been struggling, you go with the hot hand. Venable perplexes me and over manages at times, why was Chase batting 3rd?

Showed power in the minors, one year he had 28 dingers.

Huge win, we don’t want any long losing streaks. Burke was great and Beni came through in the clutch. Back in first place, on to Detroit where the Sox should take 2 games, things might be tough tonight as the Sox probably didn’t get to Motown until 3AM.

Been saying all year that Beni will help especially down the stretch.

Wow, a huge break there on an 0-2 count.

Way to go Sammy.

Me too.

He’s safe.

Let’s get Burke some runs.

Good hustle by Acuna.

Oy.

You gotta wear a cup.

That’s exciting, why is Ant not starting.

All that makes good sense and hope it works out well.

My question is at the new location wherever it may be will White Sox fans support the Sox when they are losing as the history of the franchise is they don’t. The Sox draw fine when there’s a winning product on the field but the fans stay at home when not. For me It’s going to be hard visualizing them at a different location since I’ve been a Sox fan since 1952. Where they are at right now has never been a problem for me, it’s right next door to the Dan Ryan, one CTA line is at the door step with the other 3 blocks away and the Metra is on the other side of the Ryan. One other thing, what surrounds the ballpark has never mattered, I sort of like driving to a game and know there is plenty of parking. I’m saying all this as someone who moved to Florida 33 years ago and I’m not sure what the traffic and mass transit is like these days, my last game was on visit in 2012. We have seen many Sox games at Tropicana Field and will take in the Sox-Rays game on Sunday August 2.

This Yankee series has put a damper on things as far as pitching goes. I think we did catch the Yankees at a good time for them along with bad umpiring also some strange things going on especially with that inning last night with all those opposite field hits to right field, someone mentioning some sign stealing going on which isn’t against the rules unless it’s what the Astros did.

I thought that MLB had a rule on new stadiums that the distance down the lines had to be at least 325 feet.
