Kopech couldn't hold them at 10.....oh well.

Nice comeback but considering it was against the 44-win Royals, just a lol at falling short at home in Game Two. A split avoids yet another low-water moment of the season had we got swept. Puke.

Pedro's boys give up alot of extra bases.

Is it time to trade for Massey so he can hit .083 for the Sox??

I say trade for Massey and Nicky Lopez of the Braves. Might as well lose with a south sider and Napervillian if we have to lose.

That would make Jason happy 

I really cannot remember any player taking more called strike 3s than Yoan. It's been that way his whole time here.

Had fun at the ballpark today.

Players played hard to comeback. Cool it was only the fourth time over 123 years.

Good to see if any of the pickups can pitch. Patino looked the best out of the recent player claims. Robert Moncada and others running hard.

If they acquire Sal Perez, then there is zero hope, unless Bobby Witt Jr. is part of the package. He looked like Babe Ruth on the Boston Braves.

You can't build up a young team's confidence in 2024 if they don't believe that their bullpen is capable of closing out more than 50% of the games...

That said, spending millions on more veteran bullpen arms just to turn around and flip them again, not sure Chris Getz is going to go out of his way to copy Rick Hahn there in his roster construction.

Well, tonight wasn’t a bullpen problem. It is pretty cool to give up 8 runs in the first inning and not take the loss.

If the Sox want Sal Perez so bad, acquire him to be player/manager. Give him 250 at bats. If he's so great for winning/chemistry get rid of Pedro and hire Kessinger, I mean player/manager Sal Perez.

Just trade Kopech for whatever Tier B/C and lottery tickets you can get.

He's never going to succeed as a reliever again with all the water under the bridge from failing to meet expectations dating back to the Sale trade and #1 RHP prospect ranking.

Better to move on for both sides.

Kopeck: The least valuable coin of Imperial Russia.  1/100 of a ruble.  Kopek (French): Something of little value.  Colas reminds me of Colace, a stool softener medication, if you don't know it.

What kind of contract is Giolito gonna get with his awful finish to the season?

1 year prove it deal.

I'm really thinking we are gonna see Elvis again next season.

Would rather play him at short.

When you come back from 9 down to tie it you bring in one of your best relievers to hold the other team.                                     I'd blame Grifol but he doesn't have a good reliever.

 

We need all Sox fans to stop complaining about Sal Perez. The way JR has been acting the last few years he may demand Getz acquire him simply to stick it to us again.

We should be demanding the Sox acquire him at ANY cost.

I've liked that kid since the first time I saw him play . Really wished that he was wearing a Sox uniform, but then if he came up through the White Sox system, he would probably looked lost and confused, like all of our players do.
