First pitch was right down the middle. 1st and 3rd no outs. Swing the fucking bat, man.

I think the Venable crew has fallen prey to a classic trap: trying to get Luis Robert to work counts

White Sox average runs in 1st inning 0.71 7th in MLB

White Sox Runs runs per game 3.24, tied for 27th.

18 walks for Devers.

Now Middlebrooks going after Cannon's control...

 

Throw strikes Cannon 

and nope 

Good play by Sosa 

Sosa finally made a really strong defensive play.

Will get lots of time at 2B now, one would think...

"Doesn't have a signature put away pitch" lol Middlebrooks 96.2 mph but can't put two on every inning.

 

Cannon 4.19 era now.

Is Middlebrooks mad the Sox didn't sign him when he was washed up or something?

Must have been talking to Youkilis lol.

To be honest, I think there's plenty to criticize about Cannon as of late, which would include some command lapses. And lack of a putaway pitch is something that Cannon himself is open about

More these guys should take dick high fastballs and then flail away at trash.

Love me some Brooks. 

I can't wait to not have to watch anymore Amaya.

Baldwin 268/687 actually works if he was an above average fielder, fundamentally strong and an excellent base runner.

Alas, still has a ways to go on the development side.

They just don't seem to trust Baldwin to play SS every day at this point...Maton also needs to leave the roster.  Or Palacios.

Amaya: better or worse hitter than Maldonado?

That was letter high, wow.

Well, at least it was just a solo shot I guess.

Cannon has to nibble cuz his stuff is so darned hittable.

1B's Casas and Vaughn both struggling mightily out of the gate...being too aggressive going after first pitches, opposite of LuBob.

 

Good thing Campbell was eliminated from the basepaths.

Now 8/21 on season, Refsnyder/Romy both would start for White Sox.

Maldonado this season...two hits last night and well over .200.

Two walks nice 

Robert must really want to go the Eloy route this/next year. Fucking bum. 

Damn that was a good pitch 

0-8 already w/RISP.  Wasting this many chances early does not bode well.
