June 11, 20223 yr Nice to see the Sox plugging away the entire game, and everyone contributing. Grandal came up HUGE in the eighth, also enjoyed the solid pitching performances. Have to come back tomorrow for a day game, so don't party too hard (Yoan). Hope Tony keeps Grandal and Moncada down in the lineup a few more games, keep the pressure off and let them work their confidence back. Perhaps come back with the same lineup tomorrow (or rest/DH Grandal so he can catch Sunday with the short turnaround tomorrow).
June 11, 20223 yr Jake Burger moves really well for a guy with a BMI of 29.5... Maybe he should take his conditioning more seriously. ?
June 11, 20223 yr Nice win . Didn't see it. I have a question. Stoney in the highlight wrap on mlb was praising Grandal and Moncada. I look at the box Moncada was 1-4 with no RBI. What did he do that was so great?

You have a tough lefty and they should see if Grandal could get some momentum going finally…play McGuire Sunday.

June 11, 20223 yr Much needed win from this team. Really hope the offense is starting to turn the corner. Seems like they've been playing much better over the past week or so.
June 11, 20223 yr I'd be shocked if this hasn't been suggested by "the baseball operations department" for every Keuchel/Lambert/Martin start this season. at least this time he actually listened.

The 5 run 8th inning happened with nobody on and 2 outs, Burger started it with an infield hit, Moncada followed it up with a hit, Grandal 2 run double, Harrison RBI base hit that scored Leury PR for Grandal , and Mendick HR. So any time you have that kind of big inning that starts with 2 out on nobody on, everyone who contributed should be praised for not making the 3rd out especially a bunch of guys hitting below .200.

And this is what has been lacking from the White Sox offense this season. They put runners on, have a chance for a big inning, and the key hit doesn't happen. They have passed on so many opportunities to break games open. They finally did it against Texas. The game was close then, all of a sudden, it wasn't. If the Sox are to be considered real contenders, they need to do this more often.

That's just some odd level of fandom rooting for a loss when TLR has looked bad all season and is not likely to get fired this season unless something non baseball related happens. Wins actually make everyone feel good and help the team.

Bring back that one eye emoji that was removed.
