Pathetic at bat by a pathetic player.

Yea we're fuckin cursed. Cubs thought they had it bad we gonna have it worse

Slider-speed swing but can’t recognize a slider

That was perfectly played to an absurd amount.  If literally any of that play goes slightly differently the Southside is standing up.

Yep, the timing, the wall-scaling, turning his body, reaching out, catching it, and not knocking his arm into the top of the wall and dropping the ball.  That ball also wasn’t just over the wall.  It was gone by a few feet.

At least we know that whatever supreme being May exist…also fucking hates Jerry Reinsdorf.  I’m sorry, but that s%*# is hilarious.

No, this just gifted the Sox at least one win. Double headers are almost always split. It’s already happened a couple times this year.

I stand corrected. But maybe tomorrow?

I mean that was amazing. Absolutely insane that we are at 103 losses already and that’s my favorite of the season. 

Vaughn certainly thought that was gone. But it was only fair, as the wind knocked down several Rangers homers.

that's the biggest problem with most of our hitters, they can't identify pitches.  watch Andrew Vaughn's at-bats.  He will swing at a pitch in the dirt with a lot of depth/movement, and then take a fastball straight across the plate in literally the next pitch, how are they all this bad

it's almost like they don't have the same information/pregame tools to even compete at this level.  

For anyone who hasn’t seen the catch…

This is just ridiculous.

And Peralta ...his four seamer tops out at 90MPH.  Why do people think he's a major leaguer?

Who do you mean by “people”?  Maybe Getz…

Watched the last half inning on gameday....no idea that Vaughn should've had a walk off. I did see that they just kept going further and further off the plate to Sosa and he obliged.

That catch by Jankowski was absolutely bonkers.

Peralta is a AAAA player.  Anyone with a brain knows that.  The White Sox FO on the other hand…

No, not tomorrow either.  Never ever bet on the Sux.

I texted my dad the video. He was watching gameday too and had no idea it was that close. Thats gonna be on highlight reels for quite some time.

They have no one better.  Their inability to develop relief prospects is scary bad.  It’s a main reason they’ve had to pay so much for relievers in the past.

Tremendous catch. If I'd been watching i probably would've said "yep, that figures...no walk offs for you"

Avoided the shutout again.  Does anyone know how many 1-run games this team has had?  Seems like a ton.

Sox have scored one run in 26 games so far this season.

And for those mentioning "luck" and "cursed" I'm reminded of this salient quote:

"Luck is the residue of design..."-Branch Rickey 

31-103 really is a mind boggling record. Wow.

Kopech, Cousins, Chavez, Cronin, and Hill seem to be doing pretty decent as relievers since they left…
