JR finally had the sense and courage to show Hahn and KW the door and hire Getz. That is why this team is where it is at now. Great support from ownership (signing Mune), talent evaluation, player promotions from the Minors, and prescient trades.

I concur and that is why I,for one, am not projecting Roch to replace any of the current Sox infielders when he eventually gets taken in the Draft and promoted to the majors. As Len Kasper exclaimed after the 6th inning during today's radio broadcast "This Team !..." We have one of the best over all infields I can recall on either side of town in decades. Keep these guys and "this team" together. Sprinkle in some pitching and they can get to the play-offs and maybe compete. And please, stop whining that Chase lacks power. Power hitting is only a small part of his game, a game that more often than not excels and exceeds expectations. I share Len Kasper's excitement about this team. They have already provided us with a lot of entertaining games.

Peter's blast was a morale booster for a team that has already shown that it has a never say die attitude. Never, never surrender an at-bat for any reason including handing a pitcher a no-hitter. Give Peters credit. That at-bat took some gorliones. He squared up a 99 mph fastball and deposited it in the seats. Boom ba-boom boom boom, cancel the post-game show and see them on Sunday.

LOL.

Talent recognition. Getz, Jerry and Venable supported a virtually unrecognized player from the Savannah Bananas and put him on the Opening Day roster. Peters see's it and often hits it hard. Tristan struck that ball in anger and with purpose..he killt it. That one swing may have turned the momentum around at least a little by preventing LA celebrating a no-no on the field. It would be great to take 2/3, but I am OK with 1/3 and look forward to when Teel and Mune are in the line-up. That will make the line-up that much more formidable, especially against RHers.

Yeah I got bad news on that front a while ago, but I am battling away, happy for every game, hoping for another season. Good luck to you hi8s , keep flying high, 8 miles high.

Sasaki struck out 10 in his last start. Hopefully Sox hitters will be patient, wear him down, and get to the bullpen. I wish Mune could face him. That would be an interesting match-up worth the price of admission.

Gram Parsons was truly at the forefront of country-rock. A great voice and talent tragically cut short at a young age like so many other musicians of that era. The lip-sync video though is cringe-worthy and was produced without the original band. Thanks for posting it though.

Ishbia has his hands full trying to figure out how to relocate railroad tracks and repurpose a railroad bridge to get pedestrians over the canal. If that takes a while, the Sox may extend the lease. Meanwhile the 2026 White Sox are still Jerry's team.

Some of us here opined that it was too early to bring up Braden for a number of reasons (like his tendency to hit ground balls). Oh did he prove that wrong with a single, two doubles and a memorable walk-off home run. Ron was right but beyond that, let's not understate or minimize the significance of this. For those of us that recall, the White Sox have been seeking a solid RFer with hitting prowess and defensive skills to play RF....since Jermaine Dye. Now we finally got our guy. Braden is a switch hitter who can hit from both sides with power, including to the opposite fields. This kid is a beast in the positive sense of the word and adds to an already surprisingly good offense.

Ohhh a little shot across the bow. LOL. No problem. I somewhat empathized with your complaint about the cheap seats in the 500 level. None of my friends ever sit up there. I suggest getting better seats if you ever plan on returning. Also maybe familiarize yourself with the residential areas to the East of the stadium, the IIT campus/neighborhood, and note the train access at the Sox 35th street station before hardening your opinions further. So yes, please come back and attend a game this season by any mode of transportation available to you. I was going to go tonight but cancelled any plans earlier because of the forecast.

The platoon game against a starting pitcher is fine, but that strategy gets blown up after the starting pitcher is replaced and the opposing Manager counters it. It's a big game within the game.

Periera makes sense in order to provide a platoon in CF or (L)F for more RH oomph against LH starters. Romo goes when Teel comes up in a few weeks. Gonzo back down when Mune comes up unless Getz finds a trade partner for Bennintendi.

Yes indeed. Admittedly, I have called for Acuna to be DFAed for weeks, but now I am like, "hold on a minute..." Acuna has value as a back-up in the IF and OF, has speed, and even showed he could have a competitive AB vs Sale. So reconsidering, I think he stays for now. Hill and Grichuk have proven roles and probably aren't going anywhere. Tristan Peters is not going to hit .300 forever but he is going to have a decent OBP and has played gold glove CF. Braden is now our RF. So who goes if the Sox want to bring up Periera and do the Sox even need him?

Once the roster has finally been assembled with Teel and Mune, this team could conceivably make a run in the playoffs ... provided that the rotation and bullpen will be fortified. Things can come together quickly with a few prescient moves by the front office, from JR down. They need to be in it ($) to win it.

Davis has to be careful not to hang that curveball.

I would have preferred Romo , but yea, Quero was a rally killer at clean-up.

How is Sam doing after the 100mph HBP? .

Ronald Acuna may have simply had a cramp but based on a Grade 1 hamstring injury he suffered earlier this season, I would not be surprised if he re injured it. As Sox fans we have become all too familiar with an initial diagnosis of "hamstring tightness."

As far as I could tell it looked like the HR hit in the bullpen on the fly.

After Braden throws out the first guy trying to stretch a single into a double they can cue up Aerosmith "(Braden's got a gun). "

Hope it rains...just kidding. Have a good time !

The biggest hole in the bottom of the line-up is not with the RFer but at catcher. Not sure how long that Teel's rehab is going to take but it is maddening to see so many ABs given away by Romo and Quero. They have both run into one here and there, but more often than not, they kill rallies.

Cauli: I watched Sandelin's stuff and his fast ball seemed pretty good (up to 98mph) but his off-speed pitches, particularly his curve ball seemed to lack a little of the bite that it had in his debut. Perhaps the humidity had something to do with that, I don't know..Do you think that his pitch selection could also have been an issue? I thought that when he got torched on a high outside fastball that Marchon seemed too ready for. Maybe Teel will have a better feel for calling a game than Romo or Edgar.
