I’m not certain he was out at first.

I think he was safe but lots of missed calls there tonight.

Man, the Sox really don't want Lynn to get any more W's. He pitched pretty well, but if you don't score, you can't win.

Garret needs to shave that.

I swear, every time Lynn pitches, the offense doesn't score for him and the defense screws him over. 

The offense is like explosive diarrhea.

16.8 fWAR for the White Sox Starters, 12.2 for Houston. So the White Sox do have better starters, but Houston has a better offense and defense. It’s a close matchup on paper, and home field would have been important.

The problem is our best starter sucks in Houston.

If you're going to put weight on that (I wouldn't) then it's more than offset by the fact Giolito and Rodon have pitched very well vs Houston recently.

Do not run on Luis Robert!

Thank goodness Grandal was okay after that collision. Great play by Robert to save a run.

Mercy Pantera!!

Great throw and tag

I'd start him game 3 in Chi. Let Giolito and Rodon throw in Houston.

Have to be throwing faster than 95 in big spots

That’s why I really wanted HFA.

1 run through 6 against the Range...so many levels of unacceptable

Strange his velocity was down considering he hit 99 in his last outing.

Yeah Crochet throwing that "low" isn't good. We need him flame throwing in the playoffs.

Yep no excuses anymore 

Goodwin has a 79 wRC+ in the 2nd half and that's still with very good plate discipline. He's just had no power at all in his bat for months.

bennetti being bennetti.. like he was talking as if the manager pitch hitting that dude had failed before it happened.

 

and of course he gets a hit.

i know it has not actual effect on the game - but its just so damn annoying.

Can Goodwin go away?  
 

I’m a little salty tonight for some reason. ?

Yep he just isn’t good enough to be playing so much, but we know they blew it at the deadline 

Romy hit the heck out of the ball twice, nothing. Hits it 30 mph for a hit. Baseball.

Even Robert can't avoid hitting a GB with guys on base

Have they hit a fly ball with someone on base
