Thanks

Potty mouth@#$%!!&

Fuck it looks like this is the game thread. Thanks @chitownsportsfan

 

The lineup sucks, his velocity is down and the ump sucks.  I beat everyone to it.  Enjoy the game.  

Thanks go Sox!

Game thread starting becomes fair game once lineups are announced, anyone can just create it. Though today's game thread should have been created like midday yesterday.

That called strike 3 to Moncada in the 4th was such bullshit.

Nothing about framing?

Garcia not in lineup, is TLR back?

Not sure why the link from James Fegan's Twitter isn't automatically showing.

Tony La Russa said Adam Engel is getting treatment and not available today. Leury García is availabe after colliding with the fence in the ninth inning Thursday night. Andrew Vaughn just getting day off to get more lefties in lineup against Tallion.

I think the "his velocity is down" is becoming the most annoying shit on this forum & that's saying something. Giolito has needed TJS about 29 times over the last 2 years

The Sox need to figure out this parking disaster. I got off the Ryan at 4:15 and still am not parked.

To me, it's the 20 pages of posts each game bitching about strikes/balls against the TV box which may or may not be accurate, and pitch framing.

So much more enjoyable watching the game without the box like Thursday, or listening to games where they may mention something blatant but otherwise focus on the game and not the umpires, or cheating the umpires (pitch framing). Will be so happy if they automate the zone next season, let the focus be on the game itself.

Anyone who posted earlier/last week about Vaughn sitting in favor of lefty bench bats down the stretch/in post-season is fair concern. No game yesterday, off 3 days ago and now off today.

I guess I rely on you guys tonight. I'm blacked out for being 6 hours away from Yankee stadium and the game is in Chicago.....???

I agree...if getting the call right is the important thing... then automated balls and strikes are in our best interest.  If my calculations are correct...we will be getting about 2 dozen additional calls in our favor per game.

You forgot "Cease isn't that good"

Good thing he's not on third, Goodwin misplayed that. 

Going to be a long night for Dylan if he can't get either breaking ball over for a strike.

Thought so too but took a crazy bounce

The change up has looked good so far. Slider and curveball not so much. 

Edit: nevermind...

Cease looks absolutely awful. Up in the zone with almost every offspeed pitch
