Just waiting for them to flip that switch in September.

Cueto Lynn tmrw.

Opposed by McKenzie and Plesac/Civale?  TBD.

Pilkington is starting one of the games tomorrow I believe

Exactly why if they drop today they will very likely only possibly win 1 or the remaining games in the series 

I’d love to see Grandal put a charge into one for once  

Yasmani, please give the people a bat drop

In retrospect, better to throw Cease because they could easily be down in the series 3-0 or 2-1 before they know what hit them.

Or at least don't start Cease against Bieber when it could be Plesac/Civale Game 2 tmrw.

 

Does anyone have any confidence in Lynn at this point?

It looks strange having Yaz at the plate in our uniform.

Remind me why we let Gio start the first game of the 2nd half? 

It was a blunder. TLR trying to be too cute.  You need to go with your best Cease and give him one more start down the road.  This game looks like a managerial mismatch with TLR vs Francona one of the best.

Reese this one Yas

Eloy should be up right here but nah, let’s go with a guy who can’t hit a beach ball so far this year 

White Sox are 7th in AL runs scored, CLE 8th.

11th in homers though.

Neither of those guys could hit a beach ball this year

Fuck that’s an incredible 3-1 pitch. I hate CLE

But he swings from the left side!

Dammit…

I have hope he will come into form… but do I have confidence in him?

No.

Thanks for swinging at ball 4 Grandal.

Now we get a weekend speculating when TLR will get revenge for the Abreu HBP.

 

Taking there?  Had 2-0 and 3-1 pitches to hunt.

That entire inning was a microcosm of the 2022 season.

Too bad Seby wasn't up there.

Grandal is a complete waste of money, production is non existent.

quantril made 2 corner pitches and then forced that chase....

Now back to the real 2022 White Sox.

The more things change the more they stay the same.  No sense of urgency from TLR. You need to go all out to win the first game with Cease vs Quantrell.

Yeah but I’ll take the guy who can at least put the ball in play versus the guy who all of a sudden couldn’t take a walk or have any feel for the strike zone

TLR already saved his job with the 5-1 stretch before the ASB.

Back to status quo.
