July 16, 20232 yr The Braves were undefeated at home vs. the Sox until yesterday. They hadn't lost a rubber match all season until today. Baseball ?♀️
July 16, 20232 yr Top of the White Sox lineup burning down Atlanta this weekend! Andrew Benintendi 7-14, 4 R, 4 RBI Tim Anderson 4-12, 1 BB, 1 RBI Luis Robert Jr. 5-12, 1 HR, 5 RBI Edited July 16, 20232 yr by South Side Hit Men
July 16, 20232 yr If a team is going to turn a season around, it first has to have confidence. These two wins can help. But let's see what they do during the rest of the road trip. What I really did like was the emotion after the 6-5 win.
July 16, 20232 yr It's a great Sunday win and impressive series win. However that's baseball and sometimes a bad team can win a series against the best team. Just be careful here, the Sox still have major flaws and are not a playoff team. I will not drop my guard and let them tease me thinking they are back in the race to win the Central. We've gone down this rabbit hole too many times this season. Sorry to be negative, but it is what it is! This impressive series win shouldn't change anything to the fact, the Sox still need to be sellers in the next few weeks.

July 16, 20232 yr Some, time, some where, some day, Moncada will be back on the team. Burger has 22 home runs and 44 rbis. Moncada probably won't hit 22 home runs the rest of his career. I'm really curious to see if they bench Burger and play Moncada full time. Its time to move on from Moncada. Even if they have to release him and eat his money. So be it.

And several times during the past two seasons, I thought they had momentum and didn't. I'll just enjoy this for a day. Still 15 games under .500.

They are stuck with him until the end of next year then..."he gone!" They'll play him you can bet on it. Burger will take a seat until Eloy goes on the IL yet again.
July 16, 20232 yr Guardians lost. Walks killed them. Twins down 3-2 in Oakland. They’ll come back and win and the Sox will still be 9 back in the loss column. Twins start a 10-game Mariners-Sox-Mariners sandwich tomorrow. Edited July 16, 20232 yr by flavum

Just pointing out to the eternal optimists that even with two wins in Atlanta, the Sox are never getting to .500. And the Twins did win. Hopefully they at least play .500 the next couple weeks so the Sox front office doesn’t get any crazy ideas about riding it out.
July 17, 20232 yr Meh. They’ll be back to sucking against the disappointing Mets. It’s just who they are. Just don’t give the dopes in charge any delusions between now and the deadline.

July 17, 20232 yr Burger has a good two games and everyone forgets his offense nose dived over the last month

Use Burger. Stick Moncada at second if he has to play.
July 17, 20232 yr I find it amazing the Sox have about the same winning percentage vs. RH and LH starters this deep into the season. Overall 40-55 .421 vs. RHS 29-40 .420 vs. LHS 11-15 .423

If we're within 4 games of Minny before the deadline, the dolts on the FO will think we're in it. We need to be 10 back to feel "safe" they won't screw up the deadline. The only saving grace is JR is using his mouthpiece (Nightingale) to signal a purge is coming.
