Cease has a no-hitter for 6 in the Bronx...

 

This particular game is lulling everyone to sleep, lol.

I can certainly see why this team doesn’t think they can use Elko!

Even Royals' fans might be tempted to ask for a refund...

But at least we have Nick Maton back from Charlotte, who was OPSing around 400 last time I checked the numbers.

Sox can't keep on being late on cookies 

Their road hitting seems to be quite bad

That’s my first baseman!

ballgame.

Might want to be a bit more careful with Witt than that...lol.

No reason to pitch to him there, except for the theoretical threat of a suddenly hot/ter Pasquantino.

That is crazy to barrel that pitch. My god Witt owns us.

There are still five teams with less runs scored per game than the Sox.

The Royals are among them, Rangers, Rockies (in Colorado???), Pirates and shockingly, the Blue Jays

 

At this pace, the White Sox are likely to end up 26th after the night.

He has taken over the role of Sal Perez as Sox Killer...well, it's not like he isn't one of the Top 3-5 players in the entire sport at least.

 

Cease no hitter in the Bronx through 6.   77 pitches.  Bottom of the 7th will be the biggest challenge, until the line-up turns over again.

Bad offensive teams are so unbelievably boring

Some teams draft a Bobby Witt.  Others draft Colson Montgomery.

Why even pitch to Witt!

Really bad series for Venable so far

2-13 vs. the AL Central and Bubic statistically has been their best pitcher with a 1.98 ERA heading into tmrw.

 

They can't even succeed at following the plot of Major League as attendance has now pretty much leveled out at the bottom and Campfire Milkshakes/City Connect are carrying the revenues...

Every two weeks we have 4 or 5 games that give me hope. That hope is then immediately destroyed by a series like this.

They find a way to lose 3 in a row so often. The starting pitching has been competent.  The offense is pathetic.

It's so funny how badly the booth wants Elko up. Schriffen seems to hate Vaughn

Just summon an AL Central team to play the Sox and suddenly catch fire...

This Royals team is gonna be something when they get Cags up there.  He and Witt are gonna be scary as f***.

Good start from Cannon

Warning Track Power Vaughn!
