Just looking at the starting pitchers and the lineups, this should be a 1-0 game, so of course it will end up being 11-10.

Ok LFG ! Pito and Big Baby Cub Killers time !

Just read Fegan’s interview with Hahn. I have never encountered anyone who was so good at conveying exactly no information. Gotta admire Hahn for it. It’s a real skill.

Sounds like he has a future in politics

Hernandez has probably been our 2nd best hitter so far and getting on base well so let's drop him to 8th.

It's to roll the order and not have three consecutive likely outs at the bottom with seby Engel and pitcher.  It's not a bad decision 

The good news is even though we don't hit very well, we make up for it by not fielding.

I hate losing to the Cubs.

A sleepwalking offense will do that to you!

Losing a series to the Royals puts a bad taste in your mouth.  It needs to be removed post haste.

I like some movement so who knows.

I just don't like what I'm seeing from the the middle of the order and Tony is tinkering too much now.  I'm still confident of a division title but this team isn't going to do anything in the playoffs unless the stars start playing like stars.

Got 2 months still until the playoffs.  Yes, if our offense is playing like this in October we’re not going anywhere but we have plenty of time before that’s an issue.

Thanks for your sarcastic reply but truth spoken is truth spoken obvious or otherwise.

Guys, if the White Sox play like the worst stretch of baseball they'll likely have this season, in the playoffs, I don't think they're going to succeed there!

Right get everyone back, figure out what you want your lineup to be vs RHP and LHP and don't tinker much (except for the obvious off days) unless you have to try something new.

Also, it’s still a stupid small sample size but Engel has been better against rhp in 2020 and 2021.  I agree that I wouldn’t have moved Cesar down at the moment with the way he’s been hitting but I’m not shying away from it being Engel against a rhp either.

Yes. Get everyone healthy and some regression to the mean would mean the offense is going to eventually explode in a good way. 

Look, beginnin the rainin....at least on the South Side.

I'm just happy Contreras isn't in the lineup. That guy KILLS the Sox.

But dude. Everybody gets it.  Saying the offense needs to get their shit together is like saying water is wet

yea but I just generated like 5 bucks in ad impressions for Soxtalk.com!

Looking at the radar this is a really small cell moving over the north side. Shouldn't last more than 10-15 minutes.

I'm as positive as the next guy, but we do kinda suck right now.
