Might depend on who pitches for Boston...

4 game series with the final game at 10 am CT. Love that.

Seems like we haven't played a ton of day games so far so I'll allow it.

Man, during Covid I was always so excited to wake up and watch early baseball. Now it's like snooze. Sucks.

they do it every year for the Boston Marathon. I remember Gio getting shelled a few years ago and we had to have Yermin come in and pitch

Interesting. These marathons are quite disruptive. The NYC one basically makes getting from Brooklyn to Manhattan impossible by car. It always screwed with our canvassing operations.

is Quero a real switch hitter or a fake one like moncada

Looks like it's gonna be Hunter Dobbins for Boston

Has to be the worst 4-9 combination for the Sox all season long...no Quero, no Vargas.

Palacios at cleanup? What in the world 😆

Palacios gets to tell his grandkids that he once batted cleanup in a major league game.

From DFA claim to number 4 hitter

If you don't like that, you don't like White Sox baseball

Palacios

SUMMARY

Career Ba .229

-0.7 bWAR, -0.2 in just 11 ab's this year

Career MLB ops=.644

Turns 30 this summer...not even sure why you'd want him at Charlotte, backup to Mitchell and Colas/Fletcher?

Are we really worse off than another Sox lineup already this past week...?

Probably!!!

 

Laugh now, but yall are underestimating the importance of going R L R L in the batting order and the fear it will strike in Alex Cora as he sweats through how to navigate this sox lineup with his bullpen.

I, for one, am glad we grabbed a top managerial candidate who won't do Grifol level stupid s%*# like putting a terrible MiLB hitter in the clean up slot.
