busy at work, 4 hits, 2 runs, sounds about White Sox.

That sounds better than the white sox, usually it is 1 run on 4 or 5 hits lol

Lynn's gonna be near forty pitches.

Needed to be closer to 30.

10 pitches to Hedges.  14 more pitches due to not covering first.

I hate that chest high catch Eloy does. Why have your glove vertical  on a high fly when you can have it higher up and tilted back and catch it head high ? If he ever drops one catching it at his chest I'll be screaming at my TV lol.

If Grandal isn’t catching he should never be in lineup at DH or 1B. I can’t stand him. 

Hedges is so annoying

How many times does Grandal swing and miss though?  Run the risk of running out of inning or getting Moncada hurt.

The chance of Grandal hitting into a double play is higher IMO. At any rate, Sheets should have been the DH instead of Grandal against the righty pitcher. He has been our best hitter lately.  TLR roster construction continues to be bad.

Tony pretending Yaz can still hit for power has so many negative ripple effects on this team.

Watching AV track fly balls is so anxiety inducing. But at least he made the catch.

44 to 3 K to BB ratio for Lance dating back to July 16th. Sorry for inevitably jinxing him, but he might be good again.

Josh was in the shift way back on the grass. This isn't rocket science. Lynn is supposed to cover 1st every ball hit to the right side and especially when the 2nd baseman is playing on the OF grass in a shift. On the replay you can see Lynn hesitated on covering. Things are different in that kind of shift.

I don’t know, but the looks of the replay, in my very humble opinion that looked like Joshes ball. Let’s just agree to disagree. No harm done anyway except for Lynne having to throw a few extra pitches. 

More runs please now bitches !

And we leave our hottest hitter Sheets grabbing some bench instead.  That is TLR ball for  you.

14 are not a few extra.

McKenzie only at 28 pitches despite that long first inning.

True

Getting carved up by low and away sliders...

Yes, I stated earlier if you read my post, it will shorten Lances start by 1 inning. 

Can these ass holes work the count a bit? Less than 30 pitches through 2 innings while having two runs is awful

We would have had more runs if we had Sheets as DH instead of Grandal.

14 inch vertical.

Tony clapping for a weak hit on a ball that was 6 inches off the plate that was caught

Win tonight and sweep, lose tonight and get swept.

He knows a good thing when he sees it.

I'm ready for an automated strike zone.

Shades of the other night where a DP ball brought the offense to a halt
