Jose is going to rip it up as the weather get hotter... and carry the offense on his back. Hopefully, with Eloy Jimenez and/or Luis Robert back in the line-up by August/September, Abreu won’t feel the need to press as much, during RBI producing scenarios. Remember, José is the reigning MVP, back-to-back AL RBI Leader and AL Player of the week. I’m confident he’ll be just fine.

Yes, he had a bad game, but I’ll take my chances with José Abreu in crucial situations, regular season or otherwise.

The Indians had a .211/.291/.381/.672 team batting stat line coming into today's game (3rd worst in MLB). The Sox are facing the reigning AL Cy Young Winner tonight. Considering the crazy luck Cleveland has had (and the number of fruitless hard contact WS hitters have made) tonight, the Sox still gave a shot to come back in this game.

I have zero qualms about Ruiz being brought in when he was tonight.

Clearly a rough outing for Cease. He never was able to establish a rhythm or command his slider and fastball. He was also way too fine is attempting to nibble the corners. I would love to see him attack hitters (like Lynn does). He undoubtedly has elite stuff. He needs to learn to trust it more... and the only remedy is the gain more MLB experience. I believe Dylan Cease will become a solid MLB starting pitcher (perhaps exceptional). To date, he only has 37 MLB starts covering 186 innings. IMO, It would be as absurd to count him out (at this early point in his MLB career) as it was to dismiss Lucas Giolito after his 2018 season.

Ompa Lumpa... doobaty doo

Without question

There are no (stolen base attempt) outs on the 3rd base side of 2nd base. Time to generate more solid ABs and (along with them) runs.

The sky is falling again

In fairness... This White Sox team has lost a number of key players (Eloy Jimenez, Luis Robert and Adam Engel) along with others who are banged up... and yet, they (came into tonight’s game) 12 games over .500, with a 3 1/2 game lead in the division and possess the 2nd best winning percentage in the American League. They continue to demonstrate that this is a special team.

The collective hearts and combined skillsets of Champions.

I love it!

This isn’t the White Sox team of yore... Time to settle in, relax and enjoy your beloved White Sox team. They are the real deal... and only going to get better as the WS players increasingly gel and grow in confidence together.

How about that White Sox fans... The sky is no longer falling.

Given the inordinate number of bad breaks the WS have experienced early in this game, the law of probabilities may very well shift at some point, today.

Oh ye of so little faith... it’s only the first inning. I have confidence this White Sox team is capable of over coming a two run deficit against any team and pitcher.

Love is all around us... let’s go White Sox!!!

Back at you

I was a great day for White Sox baseball. I’m extremely pleased and bullish on this team.

Well I (for one) feel humiliated and utterly defeated. I hereby bend the knee to your supreme magnificence and intellectual superiority.

I’m in Arizona and heard TRL’s comments on the MLB app radio stream.

I actually didn’t mind the TRL hire (in a vacuum). His problem with drinking and driving was the part that bothered me most.

I especially love the attempt at shaming (by copying and pasting as many comments as possible)... with the obvious attempt to add weight to his TRL (postgame comments backed) assertion.

LaRussa said as much during his post game Q & A. Transcribe and criticize after the fact... shear brilliance

Hendricks is like a cold blooded assassin closing out most games.
