Yeah, too bad review robbed Jay of his second hit.

I'm aware (would've been a shoe-in at 2B).

As good as Moncada has been, Devers has been better. It's crazy how many great 3B there are in baseball. When you think of 3B historically, only Mike Schmidt and Adrian Beltre have done what these guys are doing. It seems like half of baseball has a great 3B.

Not with a glove on his hand.

This is score a lot of runs day in the White Sox kingdom.   Barons 9 runs, Dash 9, AZL 8.  

Hell of a play by Timmy.

What a play by Tim

Agreed, offensively though Devers has been better.  Moncada is a well above average 3B on D. It's really hard when you're competing with Bregman, Devers, Chapman and Jose Ramirez to get a ASG nod. There are 5 superstar 3B in each league and only 3 can make the ASG. 

Moncada just seems like one of those guys that is going to be overlooked because of the team he plays for.

I was gonna not watch this game the way it started.  Stud performance by Cease.

That’s about to change very soon.

I hope you're right. I can't wait to bust The Sir's balls when Moncada hits over .300 this year. 

Yermin should start hitting left handed, maybe that will get him a shot.

Was out at a b day dinner for a relative and just checked the box score...rough 1st inning but dominating  afterwards for Cease?

cease has a long way to go until he's a MLB pitcher.

Yep his command is atrocious and he needs to find something that will get lefties out.  Also would be nice if the overrated, lazy pitching coach would go out to the mound and help him once in a while.

“Could”?  He was struggling to complete the first inning in AAA.

Some of you guys need to chill out a little bit. It's not like we haven't seen Cease bounce back well after allowing a big inning several times before.

@The Sir has had a rough year with his calls between Moncada and Robert.

There was a guy with a Cigar signature that used to say "Fine Cubans" with El Duque and Jose Contreras on it. When Robert comes up and establishes himself I want that signature with Moncada and Robert.

Lol nice

Abreu nearly injured Bummer there with his shit defense.

This is three of the best consecutive games they’ve played this year. Rangers fans probably watching and thinking how far behind the Sox rebuild they are.

Hope Bummer is alright. Please take Abreu’s glove away if he’s back next year

How did we not get Yordan ALvarez ?

Sox might not lose another game this year at this rate.

If we played the Padres we'd probably say the same about how far behind we are. 

But in all seriousness, goes to show you what a difference having one or two guys back in the lineup can make. Hopefully get Eloy back soon but just having Moncada back with Timmy again while Abreu and McCann continue doing their thing has made this a formidable offense. Just wait until they add Robert, Madrigal, and hopefully a big free agent bat for next season.
