Good to see Gavin nailing that curveball.

It’s more about seeing someone a 3rd time which is more important to judging success than pitch count 

And when he’s actually pitching well, and you used the bullpen hard yesterday, I support letting him try a third time through, though would have someone up in the sixth with a quicker hook than letting him pitch through the fifth. Also can give him confidence for the next start.

Big picture.

I'm actually going to the game tomorrow instead of tonight because I wanted to avoid seeing Keuchel pitch lol

Smart man.

Well, it does look like you’re missing out on 2 or 3 innings of Kopech and hopefully a white Sox winner

OK Goodwin, we're not even asking for a hit, now. A fly ball deep enough to get the run in.

Oh man, going to a lefty already, well....

You and I both know we don't know how to hit sac flies.

I only care a lot cause I want to see them clinch in Texas in person.

nice, brian

Ball 4!

Cesar should theoretically be really difficult to double up

Let's see a little bit of that pop Cesar

Yeah, that’s the way it works when they aren’t playing Cleveland.

Cuz I’m counting down until they clinch the division?

Joe Madden is emphatically telling his entire bench and team that there’s 1 out. ?

Yes, but not 2, hence not getting any help.

Dooooooomed.

He's fine as a 4 inning pitcher. I know people might come on here and dunk on me because DK pitched out of it. Cool. We've seen him blow games in that exact situation like 7 times this year.

I think if you used Keuchel behind an opener or only let him go twice through the order, he can still be effective. The issue is Tony always tries to push him for 5 or 6 when things are going well and he implodes.

Tony hardly ever adjusts his ways.  He should also be watching the Angels hit and running with Ohtani and avoiding a double play in the last inning, something that he should try with Abreu periodically to stay away from the DP.  Tony seems to insist on station to station baseball, which has led to many double plays being hit, as the Sox is primarily a ground ball hitting team.

Cesar swinging at everything.

sigh

what a terrible AB.

Another failure with a runner on 3rd

Cesar is struggling enough where they can't pretend he's good enough to be the 2B next year

I have never once said this.  But keep on keeping on with your own drivel. 

That is called 'not getting the job done' Cesar, so...yeah.
