So your solution literally is to throw a ball down the middle of the plate.

No,a sinker would do.

We've seen this script before.  Probably an L and tomorrow will be Tony's forfeit lineup.  There's always someone in the pen that likes to piss on a good thing.

It seems like they try to win game 1 and then don’t care much. See Minnesota, both KC series, the series at Oakland etc.

The automated system says he last threw one of those in 2017.

Don’t care much? Tonight?

It’s tough to have an effective Kimbrel pitching with men on base, with his high number of wild pitches.  The Kimbrel trade is a bust. We gave up too much when we already had a closer.   Sox did the reverse of the Quintana trade when we fleeced the Cubs, and the Cubs now fleeced Hahn back.

Not tonight, but the frequent Sunday line ups have taken that pattern.

Hauer is just a guy and Madrigal cant stay healthy. Why dont you wait until October and see what happens there...

I think it’s actually really important that the White Sox didn’t consider whether their catchers could actually catch Kimbrel.

Hendriks has a gimpy ankle or leg.. 

Come on Yaz 

We gotta find a way to win this one, because tomorrow's bullpen options are going to be booboo.

Yeah, Grandal is not a very good defensive catcher.

Yeah definitely something 

Hopefully Hendriks is alright. He was limping.
