good lord.

That play was me playing MLB The Show. “That ball is definitely dropping! Oh.”

More base running blunders...can't afford that when they can barely get guys on.

Not really a blunder

At least Freeman can throw the ball pretty hard...whether he can control it or not is the question.

On GameDay mobile phone, it's hard to imagine it NOT being one, but I guess it was a miracle/unexpected catch.

The problem is that runs are so scarce in this environment, you have to always be overly aggressive and try to put yourself in scoring position whenever you have the chance.

Awkwardly placed ball, no-win situation for Vargas on the bases

Forgettable game for the young guys. It happens. 

Estevez time...???

I guess this is what we've come to expect with the White Sox offense for 2025 (except for the occasional 7-11 scoring outburst once every 5-6 games).

 

Unfortunately, it doesn't get much easier with Lugo, Wacha and Bubic's 1.98 ERA on deck the next three games.

Should be right in between the Angels and Blue Jays for runs scored per game...3.54

 

KC is 27th at 3.43 rpg.  This game will actually lower that number.

When we play teams in the AL Central, should have been the modifier.

2-11.

They just don’t hit for enough power.  In games where you don’t have a lot of base runners, it makes it so much harder to score.  Finding slugging is so important in future draft picks and acquisitions.

The White Sox offense's struggles, especially in recent years, are indeed a point of frustration for fans, and the phrase "here lies the White Sox offense" is often used humorously to express that sentiment. The team has frequently been at the bottom of the league in runs scored, indicating a significant lack of offensive production.

That's why the Caglianone choice burns a little.

He's already the #20th ranked prospect in baseball, and it's the perfect time for the Sox to change 1B over anyway with Vaughn moving on/out.

This year, there's three more LHP prospects sitting around the #9-11 spots.

on the plus side we'll never be lorde fans 

Fourth time shut out this year.

24th time in 35 games the Sox scored three runs or less (68.5%)

They were shutout 8 times in the first 35 last year.

The sad thing is that this team is better than last year’s but it is still only on pace for a 5 win improvement.

That is technically better, sad but better.

What did she do now?

MLB.TV is on sale for $70, half off.

Just an FYI.

 

Pretty sure you get access to all the MiLB games/audio with that package as well, which is infinitely more interesting for Sox fans.
