CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Tim Elko's 1st Big League hit was a 3 run 💣in the 6th that led to the Sox 4-2 victory. White Sox win the rubber game of the 3 game series and also win their 3rd series of the year . The Sox also won their 12th game of the season and Cam Booser picked up only the 2nd Sox save of the year by pitching a scoreless 9th inning.

It was fun to be at, other than yelling at the ump. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestEddy Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 It's good they lost the lead then got it back, then got the save. I don't know if they start down the road of self-doubt after a while, but maybe they can start to build a little confidence that they do have some bats in the lineup, and they do have some arms in the pen to battle with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 (edited) we may never lose again. I'd like to congratulate Andrew Vaughn on moving up to -.8 fWAR on the year. He's now only the 2nd worst player in MLB so far. Edited May 12 by chitownsportsfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted May 12 Author Share Posted May 12 (edited) Bullpen was stellar today only giving up 1 run in 5 innings. Vasil pitched 3 and gave up the 1 run but got the win in relief of Burke to pitch the 5th, 6th and 7th inning. Gilbert and Booser pitched perfectly in the 8th and 9th and picked up a hold and a save. The BP also only issued 1 walk in those 5 innings after Burke issued 5 in 4 innings. Thaiss gunned down 3 runners , 2 stealing 2nd and picked off a runner at 3rd who strayed too far down the line on another attempted steal of 2nd with men on 1st and 3rd with 2 out ending a Marlins threat in the 4th. Meidroth went 2 for 4 with a single and double and got a nice force out at 3rd on a GB in the hole. Props to Rojas for managing to find the base while on the move and catching the throw while moving backwards. Palacios was on base 3 times going 1 for 2 with 2 walks. Robert and Vargas were rested for the 2nd day in a row with various ouchies. Edited May 12 by CaliSoxFanViaSWside 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted May 12 Author Share Posted May 12 The Sox record is 5 and 6 in May. They have Monday off and will be looking to get to .500 for the month on Tuesday against the Reds in Cincinnati. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 That homer was nice! Congrats to Elko. I'm interested to see what happens with the catching situation. Thaiss and Querro has been a nice combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee might be the odd man out when he returns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A team made an offer for Lee before he got injured so gotta think they're trying hard to move him as soon as possible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSox2023 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Whatever the Sox get back for Lee is probably going to be inconsequential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been great defensively and not terrible at the plate. Lee might be the odd man out when he returns. Despite Thaiss playing well ,unless a trade return for Lee returns more than you'd expect, Thaiss should be the one to get traded since he's only signed for 1 year and Lee is cheap and under control until 2030. He also hits for power, runs well and has a quick release and a good arm. Plus he got off to a nice start this year. He has also played LF and 1st base. It's not really surprising a smart team would be interested in him. He has good tools and power is always in demand. Only having one option left complicates things as does Teel being the expected other half of the future catching tandem. The Sox might use that option if Lee remains in Charlotte after his rehab stint is over . He turns 27 July 25th. The Sox also have a decision to make fairly soon on Gage Workman. They haven't had him long after they got him from the Cubs for cash as a Rule 5 guy. It seemed like a bit of a stretch but the Sox must have liked his very good Spring Training with the Cubs , his LH power bat, strike zone awareness and a good fielding reputation. However , he had never played above AA until this rehab stint and his fielding rep took a hit in his MLB time with the Cubs and his 1 game with the Sox at 3rd base. He is reputed to have a very good arm. They could pay the Tigers to take him back but that would seem odd to have paid to have him for such a short period of time. If Vargas is put on the IL Workman will definitely get another shot soon . We should get more clarification if Vargas can't play Tuesday or Wednesday against the Reds. The infield seems overcrowded as the MLB level now with Rojas back. Vargas has a calf "issue" . The OF has been in disarray all season . Tauchman has had multiple hamstring issues. He's now on his rehab assignment at Charlotte and should be back next week. Slater may never be back with his meniscus tear. Benintendi is eligible to come back May 15th from his 2nd time on the IL this season from his left calf strain. Not sure if he'll have any rehab time in Charlotte The 1st injury was his left adductor. We may also see the Sox debut of relief pitcher Yoendrys Gomez who the Sox claimed from the Dodgers. He was only on the Dodgers for 2 weeks and 3 appearances . In 4.1 innings he gave up 7 runs on 10 hits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted May 12 Author Share Posted May 12 Ha well my paragraph above on Workman apparently is resolved now . By extension I'll guess that means that Vargas will not go on the IL and he'll be back in the lineup along with Robert on Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest.

Yeah they could have probably kept him around a little longer if Vargas' issue was serious by IL'ing him and activating Workman but I guess he's expected to play Tuesday.
