Sox should just iL Abreu, Anderson, Moncada the minute any backup player has a hit in a game and hold them there forever.

Anderson is healthy, the other two guys aren't. Sheets and Burger are raking and would give Moncada and Abreu some valuable time off. 

Twins announcers want their pitchers to start hitting White Sox hitters to get them off the plate

But he could be injured by playing, and the point of baseball is to prevent any player having an injury.

Good contact for Seby

Jason's right: the Sox just need an injury every single day and they'll go undefeated the rest of the season.

Not gonna lie I’d rather Carlos Perez be up than Seby but good for him.

Why bother when they should just move them?!

He has looked very solid behind the plate IMO.

Burger looks more athletic than I thought he'd be. He runs OK too.

They're GUARANTEED a win after an injury. It's written in the contract. 

I like the positives expressed by Steve and Jason, and may kudos are in order, including to management, but to keep things in perspective, Minnesota is a team that looks like and plays like they have been defeated.  We need to beat teams like Houston that recently swept us 4 games, Seattle, Tampa Bay, Boston..

no, we need to keep beating the shit teams and get healthy for the good ones come playoff time.

They have a chance when they get at least 2/3 of an MLB roster.

I think Burger is the real deal.

Gallo just hit another homerun.

Feels like Lynn's control issues are exaggerated when he's in the stretch.

He's in a lot better shape then when he came out of College. 

I think the injury rehab turned his physical health around.

My fantasy team liked that.

Haha they can say it to a much larger audience while here we are warned not to suggest hitting a player on purpose.

That is the hope and for me, kind of an expectation.  Kopech would be a huge addition to this bullpen.

Exactly. Yeah, sorry but it’s true I don’t think if our playoff team is the Charlotte knights roster we can win a World Series but this is just about surviving.

He looks like he belongs 

Another good outing for Lynn despite struggling with his control.

Fantastic inning for Lynn

When our starters hold  teams to one or two runs through 6, almost any line-up has a chance to win.  That has been the key to the 2021 White Sox and that was the key for the 2005 White Sox.  Hopefully, Kopech can play the role that El Duque did against Boston in 2005.
