This game has been all Tigers. Looked like we might steal a win, but maybe not. 
 

Not our day. Win tomorrow. 

Have you looked at Rodriguez' numbers this year? 

He might be the most valuable trade piece based on that strange contract of his. 

Or they hold onto him and do a QO. 

 

After getting rocked on 4/27,  against TOR,  usage came back down... that and the arrivals of Middleton and Santos. 

 

Bummer Lopez and Lambert are the three most expendable bullpen arms right now... but the first two names aren't going anywhere, but possibly traded.

With Cease going tomorrow this win would have been huge

That’s why you put your best team out there every game unless a guy is really hurt. These rest days and Sunday lineups have to cease. The Rays get away with it because every position player is a major leaguer.

That isn’t an issue of rest. I have no doubt they’re benching Robert because he needs it. It goes back to the lack of depth. Our starting CF is a failed corner outfield prospect who largely failed because he couldn’t handle corner outfield defense. 

On the plus side, Vince Velasquez is 4-3 with a 3.06 ERA. 

Whatever can go wrong will go wrong this year...

This. A healthy 2020-2021 era Engel was important. Now the Sox have Frazier and Haseley, big downgrade.

Hopefully Billy Hamilton returns and can hit .650 spotting Robert.

Our illustrious lead off hitter has 8 walks for the year, that’s pathetic.

. 065 is more likely

Hard to focus at the plate when you have your mistress and second family on the mind

He’s walking more than ever, so this is a strange gripe. 

Nice catch Hasely.

Game over, win tomorrow.

Well, that's game.  I guess Sox still suck.

Implosion. Journeymen baseball players eating the lunch of supposed better players 

Lambert just doesn't have his crisp stuff any more after being run into the ground the first 4-5 weeks. 

The bullpen from Hell.

But also smart base running to get to third when he started sliding. 

Robert likely catches it standing... but ended up all academic anyway.

You can relate, right? No way you’d be making outlandish assumptions about a strangers personal character just because you’re sad he isn’t excelling at doing the hardest thing in professional sports? 
 

They have been disappointing. They have been doing better. It’s imperative they win as many as possible games, yes, but they won’t win every fucking game. Calm down. This isn’t real housewives of the south side. It’s baseball. 

Win tomorrow and we leave Detroit with a series split. That’s not bad and we go back home

White Sox with three hits all day. 

Almost ready to start cheering for Minnesota DET and Cleveland so the team is pretty much forced to trade some players at the deadline. 

 

Was tired 4-4, Twins looking to avoid .500 getting back out to a 7-4 lead. 

White Sox and Blue Jays might have comparable playoff odds lol.

Can't try to overcome three teams in a four team race though... especially with Detroit soon to get back more pitching and the financial flexibility to go for it at the deadline.

Run into the ground?

I hope one day Will Vest signs a contract that has vesting options that he also meets just so I can see the headline: “Will Vest option will vest”

 

small victories.

He was close to leading the league in appearances 2-3 weeks ago before Middleton and Santos arrived...
