Quick first inning.

Gonna miss Hawk and Wimpy man.. Alot of my childhood watching and listening to these two in South Chicago growing up.

Totally.  It feels like a chapter in my life is closing  

Hawk & Wimpy - the antithesis of cookie-cutter announcing!

Raw speed right there.

"Would you believe that is 9 up, 9 down for big game James". You're right Hawk, noone in their right mind would believe that.

Nice hit by Engel.

Ugh - home team lead-off hitter bunting a runner over to third with no outs in the third inning.

It's almost as if Ricky forgets which players are fast on this team. 

And Yolmer ks on a ball above the shoulders.

Wouldn't it be a hoot if Shields threw a no hitter in Hawk & Wimpys last game together?

Not with Tim Anderson out there.

I posted this in another thread but if the Sox called up Eloy today as opposed to after 5/15, what’s the difference in his UFA year?

Call your sons, call your daughters...oh wait it’s only 4 innings.

I’m going to need one last  “Your what hurts?” sent Wimpy’s way by Hawk before this is all over!

4 innings for James Shields should count for like 9 innings by Mark Buehrle

15 up, 15 down for Shields. 

Wimpy is so much better than Stone at indulging Hawk on the things Hawk wants to talk about.  

5 innings in 1:10. Buehrle special.

Basically nothing. They have to wait until Mid-April of 2019 in order to buy another year of free agency. If he is called up any time between now and ~early July (the Super 2 deadline), his schedule will be:

2019: League Minimum
2020: League Minimum
2021 Arb 1 (>$11 million by that point)
2022: Arb 2
2023: Arb 3
2024: Arb 4
Free Agent after 2024

if they wait until after July, then you replace the 2021 money with one more year of League Minimum dollars but do not change the year he hits free agency. Basically waiting until the trade deadline saves over $10 million. Waiting until next April 15 delays until 2025. Same for Kopech.

Perfection. It's gone.

Kopech pulled after three innings, though it may have just been him having no control.

 

 

Lmao at anderson lifting the runners hand of second so he could tag him
