August 1, 20178 yr Good victory over the Blue Jays; looks like the fans were having fun during the comeback and watching the walk-off ninth. Shields sucks again, but ... Matt blasts No. 22 and raps a game-winning single up the middle. Abreu comes through. Moncada avoids serious injury according to the X-rays. Fun times at Guaranteed Rate Field tonight for the fans who watched some summer Monday night baseball. Sox fever; catch it.
August 1, 20178 yr I know wins aren't ideal, but I love that this group of kids isn't mailing it in. The habits you learn now can be the habits you carry forward.

Beautiful win.You could see there could be a chance at a win after that Abreo volley to Hanson to end the Jays 9th. Weird how things work out. Do the Sox come back if Sanchez and Hanson don't replace Moncada and Garcia ? Probably not.

August 1, 20178 yr Another thing I liked about this win is there were no bunts in the come back and a few steal attempts. I've lately been advocating more stealing over bunting because the lack of steals really has been appalling. Steals are exciting and bunting is boring and when you have speed in a rebuild you need to let those guys put some pressure on the pitcher, make him throw more fastballs to our youngsters since sliders, change ups and curves are death to developing hitters.

Yes but you don't have to spoil my thread with a comment like that. Can't you stay out of a winner's thread assuming those who post in it like winning?

Can't you stay out of a winner's thread assuming those who post in it like winning? Well most of the board wants to lose. So technically your winners thread is spoiling the board... And I speak in jest anyway. I've noticed this season has taken a lot of fun banter from this board. Everyone is so serious these days.
August 1, 20178 yr Wins don't come around often so I'll take a W anytime. Especially battling back from 6-0. That was some fun baseball to watch.
August 1, 20178 yr I'm all for the high draft pick, but if you can't get excited over a bunch of young players in White Sox jerseys having fun after a big comeback, I can't help you there. The losses are gonna come people, just look at the roster.
