Cease has no command of his slider today, good lord

That pitch was fine...blame the catcher

Zavala's a good framer and blocker, but he really sucks at holding onto the ball. 

Catch the ball

Wonder if Collins made a deal with Seby to eff up so Collins can have his backup catcher spot back.

Great play by Abreu!

Still 1-0.

Nice play Jose. 

Nice play, Jose.

At least Seby caught the throw home

Nice play Jose!

Good play....keep Perez in the park

You're correct. I was way off watching the pitch live. I thought it was further outside

Good play by our MVP

Goodness, 26 HRs by Salvy...I almost thought, after all of his injuries lately, he was toast.

That graphic they just showed...most HRs by a catcher. We've been victimized by all 3 of those guys way too much. Especially Haase and Perez. 

Perez just got under it.

He almost hit that to the concourse 

Close, too much uppercut there by Salvy, thank goodness.

57 pitches through 3

104 off the bat, but 53 on launch angle. A cm lower and that's probably a homer. 

Love that Abreu never takes his slumps  to the field.  Solid defensive  year once again.

These guys don’t learn to stop throwing him fastballs? Geez

Phew got lucky there. Wonder what pct of the time in that situation Perez goes yard. I’ll take it though - cancels out the bad luck of having to get four outs that inning, at least in my book of baseball karma 

Vaughn has a higher OPS than Moncada, Abreu, and Anderson now.

When you do the math, you choose McGrath.

bWAR (2020-2021): Lopez 2.8; Madrigal 1.7

fWAR (2020-2021): Lopez 2.1; Madrigal 1.5

Not wanting to turn this into - a Madrigal thread but when I think of nick I think of two other players Lopez of the royals  and Nico Horner of the Cubs-all they think about the drafted far after

That’s our Dylan!

I wonder what other organization scouts say to themselves, when they see the White Sox catching tandem consists of Seby Zavala and Zack Collins?
