Too bad he had the hiccup of the 2 out walk, and J-Rod got him with a 2 run double.  In hindsight, we needed to remind the team to not let J-rod beat us.  Other than this this is Lynn best pitched game of the year.

Doesn't Lynn remind you of David Wells?

I just drove a huge NYY fan who said that Wells threw his perfect game basically drunk. I said no wonder he sucked for the SOX, we prolly didnt let him drink between innings.

We don’t work counts and not take walks, also resulting in opposing starting pitchers going longer.  Today we could have used getting to Seattle bull pen earlier. Miller has only a 84 pitch count thru 7.

It’s not even that this time. Sox are fouling off hittable fastballs for the first two strikes. I’m sure this guy has a good fastball but not THAT good.

16

I would just like to point out during the last Lynn start I mentioned that he needs to start using a curveball. Next appearance he starts to use one and strikes out 16 guys

55 whiff% for Lance. 33 on 60 swings. 

Ties Jack Harshman with 16 Ks for franchise record, sad news is I remember Jack Harshman.

Biggest wtf performance ever here

Seby's 3 homer game was a pretty big one. Same with Remy coming off the bench yesterday. But this is Lance Lynn's 300th career start and he shattered his career high in strike outs.

This is why you don't just DFA guys who suck for a period of time. Long season, veteran who's behind the scene numbers weren't bad. Heard the same stuff about Giolito last year.

DFA DFA DFA DFA

8-9-1 was our best chance.

Lance Lynn going for the CG. Hope he doesn't blow out his arm or knee.

So much for Seattle emptying its bullpen yesterday being a big advantage today for the Sox.

This damn team....pitching is good, offense got nothin.

I appreciate the effort, but 7 was enough.

I don't understand starting him there in the 8th if you are just gonna pull him after a 1 pitch bunt??

Grifol has the magic touch

It’s so sad and typical that the story of this game has become the franchise strikeout record, the announcers and everything about the energy around this seems to care not a single iota about the stated purpose of this game. Who the hell cares about the franchise record for strikeouts. Win the goddamned game.

Likely wanted him to get the White Sox K record, long term health be damned.

Another losing effort in an already lost season - may as well try to make some (good) history.

 

I tuned in just this inning to see if he’d get it.

He throwing 98 99 on the 4 seamer

Gonna strike out almost 20 Mariners....and probably lose.

Lots of 1 run losses for this squad.
