Leury and his bonehead plays.  

Good one Garcia ?

You should probably look up his clutch numbers. Sorry forget what it's called. I 'm pretty sure he is among the best if not the best in the NL (Harper)

Maybe...he's been on my stupid fantasy team all season long and I haven't "felt" him make an impact like, say, Yelich...but it's that selective memory thing, of the 10% of the time I'm actively watching or paying attention, the other 90% gets blocked out.  Cognitive dissonance.

Goddamn that was one of the best defensive plays the Sox has done all year. Simply awesome play.

Goins came to the big leagues as a "pure/defense first" SS, so not a huge surprise there.

And Sano's hardly Usain Bolt.

 

But yeah, great not to just let the runner score there and have another runner in scoring position, likely to score on a 2 out hit and tie the game.   White Sox have nothing to lose...playing to win at this point in the season.

I don't know if it's xwOBA or what but I heard it on MLB network that he was at the top in "clutch".

Maybe all true, but watching the Sox defense this year has been like taking a mind altering substance, it's great to see two guys (Goins and Mac) who do everything brilliantly on a play. 

Nice  way to get out of a jam but unless the Sox continue to score this might be like the last game with the Angels.

I was one of his haters...but since he's picked up his pace a bit...he's a different pitchers.  A win tonight would put him at .500 with a team winning at a .447 clip.  He's holding up his end of the deal.  I would like to say Coop fixed him...but even I don't believe that.

Good things happen when you don’t walk guys and throw a lot of ground balls.

McCann is a steady influence on this team.  That block of the plate while holding the ball with both hands was textbook.

Amen!

When I can't watch the game which is most of the time . I watch the pitch location of the "in play no out" thing on game day and try to guess the results. I guessed right on the Anderson double .

Speed is a wonderful tool.  Robert, Anderson and Moncada have that ability to hit HR's and run like jackrabbits.  Going to drive some teams absolutely nuts.

Yeah, I remember back in the day following through the old Yahoo Sports gameday stuff.

Now, MLB and MILB.com make it more interesting when you at least have the pitch speeds and location.

 

Chinese internet still isn't reliable for streaming games...always stops and starts, to doesn't come back after the commercial breaks and have to start over and reload.

Can’t wait for another #AlwaysBunt tweet from the Sox account ??‍♂️

It might work out in the end, but still don't like playing for single runs in the late innings at Minnesota...not with the erratic nature of the White Sox bullpen.

Crazy bunting with 2 strikes on a pitch up in his eyes but it worked. Way better than a DP or a K.

Hard to knock it since it worked...but...not a fan of that play.

Considering it was Yolmer we should definitely be happy it wasn’t one of the latter

He can lay down a bunt I’ll give him that but Yolmer still sucks ?

Sign dat dere Yolmer Sanchez to a long term contract. Money is no object 

Moncada 2/5 with a HR tonight for Charlotte.

Robert, Mercedes and Zavala also homered. Roberts was a BOMB !!

Outside of maybe Keuchel, Pineda and Roark I think all of those guys are, in fact, in the Nova tier. 

You are absolutely nuts bro if you actually believe that.
