Foster, Marshall, and Bummer seem like different pitchers this year

is it crazy to want kopech out there for the 8th?

Well hit by Moncada. Good AB for him, would have preferred a better result.

I’m still a believer tbh. I know he just grounded out. Love the kid, think he’ll get over the mental lapses sooner rather than later and be a plus contributor for years to come.

At this point how can you even consider anyone else? Even if (when) he eventually starts slumping, he’s earned himself a look at playing consistently

Lmao savage

Same, certainly. I am worried that neither of us will get our wish, but I have seen weather reports that it's supposed to stop pouring in the next few mins and clear up tonight. Crossing my fingers!

How long are they going to keep playing in this rain?

Mine are exclusively for wedding rings. My girlfriend sent me a link to some recently lol, and I guess that was enough for our algorithm overlords

They’ve had some terrible moments but I’ll take a 4-1 lead any day of the week

Worked out for us at least! Mendick drives in Madrigal, 4-1 good guys!

Love not swinging at a strike 3 fastball down the middle

We needed to get one run there. Would love more but we absolutely needed one. We helped him out too much imo but still was nice to get eight walks

Our ABs are suddenly so fucking bad

Oh nvm it was a thumbguard. Madrigal wasn't to blame that time lol

Playing with fire there lol. Ugh why is this team making it so hard for themselves this year?

We've gotten walked four times over two innings and haven't scored a run. Yet with how weirdly our team has been playing, I feel lucky to get to the third inning without having relinquished the lead.

Finally some decent fielding, and a break goes our way. Good awareness by Lamb, and terrible baserunning by the Mariners.

Is bad fielding contagious? Evidently. Sadly, I don't think wearing masks can help with that.

A small aside: Stone and Bennetti are really top-class announcers and the White Sox are lucky to have them. The catcher's interference call, while annoying to us (and obvious and something that took an inordinately long time to review), was clearly correct and it was nice to hear them defend it as such without homerism. I listen to a fair amount of local broadcasts from around the league and IMO that's not typical.

I would like that arrangement but I would be surprised to see it. I also don’t want to sit Mercedes yet, however. either way, I’m glad this game will conclude before I go to sleep

Agreed on all fronts. Was nice to see him cruise through Rondon and Trout but gotta play the platoon percentages imo

Walsh is a lefty so it makes some sense

What should have been a strikeout turns into a walk. Thanks blue.

Correct
