With the Sox losing Clevinger to the IL they bring up Scholtens to take his spot in the rotation.....but something happened on the call

Now Scholtens is coming out of the pen as the bulk guy tonight while Lambert gets the start. 

The Sox will have to make everyone beat them but Ramirez and Naylor. If they can do that they should be able to keep this streak alive.  

Go Sox!!

Wake up y'all, new Polar Bear thread just dropped.

Hey, TA is leading off again. Glad we learned from past failures.

Perhaps Grifol does not have the authority to remove Tim Anderson from the lead off spot.

I stopped assuming managers have the authority they did pre Moneyball era. Well, except for Tony who seemed to have no restrictions, but at times also no sense or logic.

Well once we win this win we only need 9 more in a row for .500.

Next 13 games against Det (7) Cle (3) and Laa (3). I could see 8-5 or 9-4 with the way they have been playing recently (esp. the SP and bullpen). 9-4 puts them 5 under .500 on June 4th with 4 months of play left.

 

OK i'll sign off and go back to drinking my Kool-Aid

Winning five of the last six is fine. But,the White Sox played so poorly for so long this year that I can't take them seriously. If they can go on an extended streak of winning fifteen out of twenty, then maybe. I just don't think the White Sox have the depth of quality pitching to play real well for an extended period.

Yup. Add the Yankees "strikeout whistle" to sounds that immediately trigger me. 

Timmy refusing to walk there…stay hot

Lambert not pitching for the past 10 days makes it feel like he should be getting stretched out in Charlotte. No one else there is doing good anyway. 
 

And thanks to Middleton and Santos pitching good, it’s getting a little crowded.

Lambert hasn't pitched in 10 games? Guessing this injury wasn't much a surprise then, or they were worried about another injury 

Moncada looks like a fucking idiot with that look. I feel like that look should only be allowed once you have accumulated 20 career WAR.

Great camerawork boys.

Stop it yaz you ain't Benny santiago

Good job Lambert. Decent inning.

That was a missed hit and run perhaps and Yaz still couldn't throw him out. If that throw is anywhere near the bag he's probably out.

I mean, 99.9% of the time I DGAF, but he looks like he's going clubbing. Either button the buttons or remove the chains. Can't do both until you've got the 20 WAR.

This team is impossible to walk. This guy has thrown 10 strikes total, 0 walks.
