TA playing an excellent defensive SS so far tonight

54 pitches through 2. Lopez started to warm right before that out.

One of our handful of rested players need to say enough is enough, I don't need no stinking rest, PLAY ME TONY!

It will not be Leury, he is never rested.

Really not sure why they rushed him back. He has nothing tonight.  Way to give the run right back Lucas.

Didn't want Keuchel's 2022 option to best.

Shades of 2014/15 Royals on basepaths.

I mean, Grandal has a, what, 3-5% rate of success throwing out anyone...even if the runners are held properly.

22.35% runners thrown out for Yas, going into this game.

19/85

2021 Andrew Vaughn has returned

Vaughn looks lost.  Not very encouraging ......

Vaughn is terrible at the moment. Looks like he changed his stance a bit.

Members of Soxtalk and Dallas Keuchel are the only people on earth who think his option for next year has a realistic chance to vest

Well.....this ump will fuck us tonight.

Already cost us one run

I should say, that is over his time with the Sox total. This year, 1 for 10 going into tonight, or a beefy 10% CS.

Crazy.  I don't remember any of them but I can't watch the majority of games at work lol.

That makes a lot more sense.

Because 66 stolen bases would be two per game.

Once upon a time, a 35-55% success rate was more the norm across baseball.

Needs to re-earn that second leadoff hitter spot

2-0 followed by three weak swings

Greinke faces this lineup and all of a sudden he has swing and miss stuff again

Robert desperately needs to close his stance.  He looks helpless against inside fastballs.

Every hitter looks like they’re never seen a slider.

2021 Braves games played-

Freeman, 159 

Swanson and Riley, 160

Albies, 156

Worked out ok for them.

 

 

 

TLR normally rests the best paid players who are getting millions to grab bench several times a month.  When you clinch a playoff spot, then you can start resting right and left.  Somebody should send the memo to TLR, which should also tell him it is not a sin to pinch hit with a resting player in a game situation.

He's been getting spammed with them for 3 years at this point. At times it seems like he'll make the adjustment but it hasn't stuck at all.

No tengua nadie.  

Come on Lucas.

White Sox either the third lowest in majors or certainly AL against any type of breaking ball.

Just .186, and what does Greinke specialize in now?

There you see it against Robert although his homer off Barlow was a hanging inside slider.

Why did they show the Martin highlights with the weird ass filter?
