I don't know if Hill has "found something" in PHI. He's striking out 41% of the time and has a .424 BABIP and his expected numbers are worse than they were with the Sox. Not really something to lose sleep over.

Trying to find the exact numbers but did we end up sending Seattle any cash in the deal? For 2027 Castillo is making $22.75 million and Dominguez $10 million with a $2 million buyout, so $10.75 million net for Castillo for next season? Or is it more with the cash considerations?

Arizona took the lead

Looks safe unfortunately

I remember throwing something against the wall when Jones hit that homerun.

Do you do anything but complain

Why did it look like Bell was running with cement shoes

What a win! Two years ago the White Sox didn't get their 30th win until August 16th and they had 93 losses. They just clinched their first winning month since May 2023 with the win tonight.

We play .500 ball goddammit. Salt of the earth, punch the clock, even win/loss ratio baseball. We lose a couple, guess what? We'll win a couple, too. But don't get too excited or let it go to your head. No long winning streaks here, no sir. That's hubris, which this blue collar, hard working everyman team doesn't have. A few wins in a row, these guys, true to form, will balance it out with a couple a losses. Yes sir, that's my 2026 White Sox. A good, honest .500 baseball team.

However Cleveland had all their top relievers rested while the only good Yankee relievers were likely unavailable after pitching several days in a row. I think New York came out better here.

The one time I rooted for an AL Central team in the playoffs was 2016 and that made me feel dirty. Never again. Go Yankees.

The Astros are the only top AL team left they haven't won a series against and there's another chance to do that. They're one of two teams (the other being the Reds of all teams) to win a series against the Yankees on the road and they won both series against the Rays. They're above .500 against the top 4 AL East teams (13-12). I actually think they've played better against good competition this year compared to last year (especially on the road).

I'm going to start a petition that the Sox play exclusively on the road the rest of this season. Would be division champs for sure.

If you had told me the Sox would be 22-18 on the road and had won series in New York, Boston, Tampa, and San Francisco I'd have thought they'd have a large divisional lead right now. They're playing good teams on the road much better than last year. So weird how bad they've been at home.

Can't watch, just following on GameDay, what happened?
