So many dreadful at bats by the Diamondbacks today

One Dbacks win and one Cubs loss clinches the Arizona WC. They get to do it at home.

Too bad, it helps the Cubs. Oh well...maybe they'll lose again tonight.

I'm counting on that and 3 more losses in Milwaukee. 
We have to pull for the Marlins also, they’re tied with the Flubs for the final playoff spot but ahead with the tie breaker.

Is Touki something maybe?

With the way our rotation is looking next year, maybe the third starter lol

MLB.com must have been hacked, they had us winning 3-1

Anyone know the real score?

I’ll be so annoyed if they don’t reach 100 losses. They don’t deserve to dodge that mark of futility.

No. He's a starting pitcher who is arb-1 with an ERA of 5 this season that matches his career ERA of 5. His FIP this year is 5.01 and it's 5.2 for his career. His WHIP is 1.41 this year and 1.46 for his career. He could very well wind up in the rotation of the White Sox next year, because the White Sox have so little in their organization that grabbing guys with an ERA of 5 to be their 4th or 5th starter is ok to them, but that's what bad teams do. On even a decent team, he's a guy who gets picked up when they have had 4 different starters go on the IL at the same time, because guys like him are available on waivers.

Random thought, but it totally fucking sucks we had to see Frank Thomas play for teams other than the White Sox.

Frank Thomas, Jose Aberu, Mark Buehrle and Chris Sale are my Mount Rushmore of this list under Jerry.

Free parking also, tells you how bad and un-exciting the Sox are, they're not even worth a dollar to watch them.

But I thought the tickets had sold out? I get that we’re garbage but I just wondered if people were buying the $1 tickets and not using them as some sort of protest against Jerry

I bought a $1 ticket but ended up staying in bed (usually sleep from sun rise to early afternoon.

They listed attendance at 23,522, but I believe that includes all the tickets given out to their Season Ticket holders. How many appeared to be there?

Not close to 23,000, maybe 8,000.

He has some talent, but walks too many.

He’s been pretty good over his last couple starts, especially in limiting the walks, but there is probably enough history here to assume he’ll continue to walk 5+ per 9.

Can't believe we won with 3 hits. 23,000 fans?? Cmon how is that possible. Little April Fools joke a few months past April?

Me too. I actually want us to lose 100. It's been that bad a season. Wear it Sox. Sox were so bad they are making this an unbearable winter cause we have nothing to look forward to sports wise in the spring. Sox are going to be even worse than this season after they trade the underachievers TA and Moncada and Eloy. Vaughn and Salvy will be our lineup leaders. Yikes.

I hope the Bears don’t win until at least November so the streak goes beyond 12 months.

Tanner Banks is probably second to Santos for the Sox "Fireman of the Year"

He doesn't K too many, but he doesn't walk many either.

Korey Lee's 0-3 today drops his 2023 OPS to .259

That has to be some kind of record.

I mean, his .070 BABIP is probably not sustainable, but wow.

Touki does have a good arm. He also misses bats. Averages less than 8 hits per 9 innings. Maybe a good pitching coach

could turn him into a solid pitcher. No chance of that here. If I were him, I'd beg the Dodgers for a chance.

The guy came up in Atlanta's system and started 2023 with Cleveland.
