Just collect as many W's as possible, get ready for October. Pirates, Mariners, Twins, Tigers, Twins, Orioles then the All-Star Break......GET FAT against those scrubs, build a big lead in the AL Central, add a key piece and get healthy for the playoffs. I would be fine with 3-4, honestly.

Then Rodon/Cease (possibly Kopech?) against Astros. Now that sounds like some fun baseball to watch...can't wait.

With so many guys out injured, this team is not at the same level as Tampa and Houston. Yes, the record and the run differential are on par, but the AL Central is a much softer division. At full strength, which the Sox will hopefully be in September/October, the Sox are as good as or better than those teams. The rotation is capable of beating any team, but there will be much less margin for error against TB and HOU.

Is it too soon or should we leave today's thread up for a little bit for those to discuss the win? I'd definitely rather talk about a big matchup against the Rays myself.

June 14, 20214 yr Vaughn should have caught that ball and preserved Rodon's no hitter. He is as slow as molasses.

Except for the fact Hamilton would never be in LF. Engel, who should also not be playing LF (should be CF or RF when in the game) is the only person on the active roster who could have caught that ball from where Vaughn was positioned. https://www.mlb.com/whitesox/video/rodon-s-no-hit-bid-ends-in-7th?t=t145-default-vtp

Slicing towards the LF corner, AV did his best but it was a tough play. A faster LF might have gotten there but it wasn’t like AV misread the play. And as others have said it took a tough decision on how long to stay with Rodon off the table. Edited June 14, 20214 yr by Tnetennba

June 14, 20214 yr So, I have seen this written in the Daily Herald a number of times now. “Carlos Rodón” What is that?
