On no planet should Houser have been allowed to start this inning

Awful

Just a terrible roster and coach.  Why do they keep leaving these starters in for so long?

I'm not gonna blame the coaches or Houser for 6.1 IP 2 R, especially since he had to walk a tightrope all game against a tough offense with no run support. Bassitt is tough (SO GLAD the Sox traded him for nothing!), but it's not like he was unhittable today.

But why let him start when you have a fresh pen?

Have you seen the White Sox pen pitch?

He'd been pretty good all game and there hadn't been a lot of hard contact. He definitely shouldn't have faced Bichette again though.

I like seeing another team run into as many outs at home plate as the Sox do

There goes Sosa, swinging at garbage

Vargas got a cookie

Schriffen about to cream his pants

Great at-bat by Vargas.

Great job by Vargas!

Good stuff, Vargas

MIGGY!!!

Which bullpen arm shall we trust with the next 6 outs?

It can rain inside a dome, right?

I really like Teel’s swing, but leg kick seems a little high right now

It would have been nice if Teel got those 2 extra runs in but…….

How about a power outage.

Nice inning by Eisert.

Eisert showing off after the Jay's failed their PFPs

An insurance run or two would be mighty fine right now.

Just throw Robert sliders off the plate and he'll either miss or make weak contact. He's gonna have to go reset on a minor league deal somewhere after 2025. I'd honestly release him after the ASB if he's still showing no signs of life and they can't get anything for him.

What will he be like if the Sox become a contender and win the division.

LOL how do you walk Capra? That's worse than walking the pitcher
