Damn. The Cubs really suck. Lucky to not get swept this series yikes

Let’s see how Sox blow this lead from 7th inning on.

Why keep running with Robert up? He seemed distracted by the runner.

I've lost track now. How many loses in a row? Is it 13? 16? Or 21? Seems like 113.....

Nicky BA up to .253. 78 wRC+. Was at 0.3 fWAR coming into the game. Keeps hitting like this and he’ll be a 1-2 WAR player at the end of the season. Not bad

We have 10 hits thru only 4 innings tonights.    I bet we haven't had more than 12-15 games all season where we've had double digits hits in the entire game.

I have faith Pedro will find a way!

That Fedde cutter is filthy

Based home plate umpire.

Also great framing by Lee.

Fedde is just good even if @White Sox23 will never admit it

Fedde likely won't resign here as a Boras client, so I'm okay dealing him. The contract is already looking fantastic, he's said all the right stuff, and while I'd love to retain him, moving him is probably the right play. Would love to see him pitch in a big situation and would wish him all the best.

Agreed. Seems like a really good guy too. Easy to root for 

Grifol really needs to be strategic about the bullpen because he's probably going to have to cover 4 full innings based on Fedde's current pitch count.

Line up your four best relievers that can pitch tonight.

 

 

67 right now.   Maybe you get two more, but that first couple of innings was really taxing.

So relievers to cover 3 innings works a lot better obviously.

uh

For the record, Nico got fucked.  That was a Maddux strike zone.

Turning on this game only to see Robert is dragging the lineup down, as predicted.

He won’t keep it up.  Just like Sheets, they go on short hot streaks and get their numbers up and then they get cold for even longer and their numbers drop back down again.  They are simply bench players.

It's not good.

Colas again showing patience. Shocking.

He's bad.  He will be bad.

This isn’t true at all.  I just don’t think the Sox are getting back a haul for him due to his lack of history in doing this.  He was one of Getz’s few good acquisitions.

Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to give Getz a nice golf clap for it at the end of his history-making season.

We tried to do this with Madrigal every time and the numbers at the end never did arrive as projected...

Cue Scott Merkin article about all the positive changes in Oscar's game during his purgatory "time for self-reflection."

Schriffen just said how important DeJongs “power surge” has been with the injuries. More proof he has no idea how bad 15-46 is.
