If the Sox continue to be patient at the plate, they can bounce the starter early and really work over the Clevelanders bullpen. That has been the Sox MO for a while now.

If you don't have tickets and want to enjoy the win with a lot of other White Sox fans, attend a watch party, especially those on the South side. Just a few - Cork & Kerry (at the Park or on Western), the Ramova theater with Josh Nelson of Sox Machine, Bourbon Street on 115th, Reilly's daughter on 111th, or your favorite sports tap. Southside will be buzzing so make sure to wear Sox gear. I'll be at one of those with a few friends.

Kelces from Cleveland Heights not happy either.

And for all the grousing about Sam, he backed up Adell's triple just fine. Sam possibly saved s tying run because Doyle did not play the carom correctly and Adell could have had an inside the park HR. 2. Sam could not get to the walk-off bloop that Rochhio hit or the ball that bounced in front of him today because he was not positioned correctly, not because of lack of speed. Sox need to review some things with him (e.g. like what a "no doubles defense is" since the card in his back pocket with spray chart info apparently is not serving him or he doesn't get it. I was probably one of the first posters here to call for the White Sox to promote Sam to the major league and have been a fan of his since he was on Team Italy. I was also one of the first to call for promoting Braden to the majors, over objections that he would not be "ready" until 2027. (Cauliflower) Uncannily bad takes.

Pivotal game today. Sox will need to score a lot of runs to demoralize the Guardians. I think Teel will have a good game hitting maybe even smashing a HR.

LOL> I was 100% right about that but go ahead you vengeful mofo. "Ald. Pat Dowell (3rd Ward) highlighted that the $216 million podium structure, which includes a 1,200-space underground parking garage, solves a critical engineering problem at The 78 mega-development. The site features a complex 40-foot grade change between Roosevelt Road and the city-built Wells-Wentworth connector. Deputy Planning Commissioner Jeff Cohen and Ald. Dowell clarified that without building this massive base structure to bridge the elevation gap, the northern section of the vacant rail yard remains completely unbuildable." The infrastructure is backed by a $425 million Tax Increment Financing (TIF) package approved by the Chicago City Council in July 2026. Originally,, Mansueto promised this soccer stadium would be privately financed . He lied, but the public is used to that routine by now.

The success of the 2026 White Sox pitching staff which heavily relies on the bullpen could become a template for pitching staffs throughout the league. A supposedly tired bullpen is also a bullpen that remains ready to pitch. Take this 🖕

Grant Taylor is and will be the Closer. It would be extra foolish to move him into the rotation. Castillo's future is uncertain because it became obvious that he lost velocity, movement and control of his fastball and did not have confidence to even attempt off-speed pitches. More concerning to me was that Castillo looked too nonchalant on the mound. He wasn't focused for whatever reason. A DFA would be a disaster financially for the team but might be the right move during Spring Training if he still sucks.

The pitching model where teams use an Opener for 2 or 3 innings and then bullpen the rest, can work for a few games, even in the playoffs. So Venable has used mid-rotation starters as bulk relievers to bridge the gap and turn the ball over to the higher leverage relievers in late innings. There are some disadvantages such as overworking the bullpen, but there are some advantages like playing match-ups and giving hitters different looks from different pitchers throughout a game. Also, taking a starter out after two times through the order can avoid hitters get dialed in on them

Can't even enjoy this game and this team without bringing that sh1t up.

Not gonna happen.

On Sunday, try to cut down on the GIDP and swings on 3-1 counts on balls out of the strike zone.

THIS TEAM !!

Mune has the POWA. A big 440 ft. one timer is all the Sox needed.

My son watched the game at the Ramova...after shopping at Grandstand. I will be watching every Sox podcast tonight after I get home. Guff will be crazy.

Tomorrow is an off day so GT can pitch again Sunday.

Must lose game for Guardians on Sunday.

Get some runs and put this thing away!

Bad way to start the inning.

He touched home on the slide. Great base running by Teel, especially on a bad wheel.

Time for a big fly.

Please no GIDP.

Could have had two on and no out.
