Ole ole ole...Timmy.  Rosenberg probably would have given him the error.

Yea that would've made Roger Dorn proud. Luckily our emerging Ace pitches out of it.

More bad defense....no way you throw that ball.

Moncada, btw, with the obligatory single to stop the bleeding for now.  More than was expected against Bauer.  Seems Covey is doomed to throw lots of extra pitches in CLE this season.  Escaped.  Covey now with a sub 1.00 ERA for the month of June.  Crazy.

The usual fielding flubbers but Dylan survives the first. 

The weirdest thing to happen today was Soto hitting his first big league homer in a makeup game, five days before his actual debut.  Can’t figure out if that’s #6 or 7, but is sporting a 1000+ ops at the moment in roughly 80 at-bats.

The Book is out on Palka...stay away from throwing him fastballs.  Davidson has to pick up the 3b coach there.  Fundamentals fundamentals fundamentals.

Name me one pitcher who wants to face a middle three of Polka Smith and Davidson. All right name two. Matt should be on third! 

Anderson swung on 2 pitches outside the strike zone.

Soto is an incredible offensive talent

Infield defense will get tested a ton with covey on the mound 

What kind of hitting coach does this team have?

 

Tilson swung on 3 straight pitches outside the strike zone.

White Sox need more moments like that with Benetti to do reach out to LGBTQ fans...he should get a stipend for talking so much about Yolmer.

Tilson had his run up to a near 700 ops and now settling back to 600ish where he probably belongs...

Why do this "reaching out" to those people?  

Not sure if we are going to get a 2 fWAR at this rate.

Madrigal only 3-4 innings from Sox debut.   Sigh.   Poor Covey.

Embarassing display of defense. 

This poor communication on the field and the poor display of fundamentals has to be a reflection of the manager right?

This is how quick you can lose a game

terrible fundamental baseball

Sox defense since yesterday. Brutal. This is how bad teams give them away. 

The worst part is that was a surefire double play (but can’t assume it when scoring)...totally changed the composition of the inning and put Covey behind the 8 ball.

Gotta feel for Covey. Getting 0 help behind him.

Moncada would be on a pace for 20 errors if you factor in his DL time...

I don’t mind the loses but I can’t stand the poor fundamentals

He started off the year so well defensively. Now he's making the Madrigal decision seem easy

This is a very dumb, poorly coached team

Still a game (for now) I guess.

I really hope they can find something else than whether those frat nerds can figure out a way to get the ball out of the fence...but knowing Benetti, no chance.

Thank god it’s over, mercifully early.  Ball retrieved.
