Let's kick off the 2nd month of baseball with a win! If this team just keeps winning series they'll be fine.

Lynn on the bump today for the good guys. First time since his injury, hopefully he continues his stellar outings.

Mckenzie on for their guys. Let's light him up early.

One thing is obvious: A team needs to beat their division rivals face-to-face if they are going to the playoffs. The Sox have not done that, and that is one reason why they have only three division titles in the last quarter of a century. It would be a good sign if they took this series.

I’m hoping they all got a great night’s sleep and wake up refreshed, healthy, and ready to have a great day. As 99.99% of Soxtalk posters do everyday. ?

It looks like he may have gotten crossed up

Whatever it is, Mets fans hate him with a passion.

That’s definitely a technique that he developed while with the Sox.

So I guess Grandad gets success for the Sox rotation being having the best ERA in the AL?

no no no, you got it all wrong. he actually just gets credit for giolito's rough start. Katz is the reason Rodon and Cease are great. Obviously!

There are always folks lined up to share success. The line gets short when blame is getting passed out.

It looks like he got lazy and allowed a 2nd run to score

That was Eloy like from James.  Tough catch but fucking hustle dude.  I'm also really glad Stroman is a Met.  They deserve each other.

As bad as Grandal has hit, his OPS is higher than McCann’s. McCann has always had a problem hitting righties. He was great with the Sox, but I don’t think he is a 125-135 game starting catcher. He wasn’t a good framer until last year, but then he had what many are criticizing Grandal about. A problem with catchers interference.

Yes lackadaisical play and passed balls are white Sox catcher fundamentals 101.

No Madrigal or Vaughn today.

Or confused. It certainly seems like he forgot about the runner on second. 

Another off day for Madrigal and Vaughn lol

Can we stop putting Lamb/Hamilton and Garcia in the SAME lineup please?

to be fair Collins has been catching Rodon...;)

Great, I didn't want to see Vaughn or Madrigal in person anyway. TLR has to fucking go

Grandal has caught 50% of his starts 

 

TLR must really love unproductive innings cuz that 7-8-9 is fire.
