Rays came back from 8-0 deficit last month.  Pretty sure that was COL.

Nope

White Sox looking for first four game win streak.

 

Accountability apparently meant reversing trend of NOT attacking opposing fb's, especially on the first pitch.

 

Meidroth pushing up Baz's pitch count there...getting cheered by Sox dugout.

Sox at a 58-104 pace if they hold on here...

What if they win out the rest of the season?

Kinda. Don't really know why some people were running with the idea that it was about effort or something.

"We talked coming out of the break that we have to make real changes in our approach to get to the fastball, the guys responded and did a great job," said Will Venable, who was visibly fired up postgame. "It’s not necessarily just hitting the fastball. We get ready for the fastball, you put yourself in a really good spot to hit other pitches. I thought we saw that from a number of guys there in that first inning."

"We spoke as a group Friday, some things that we want to hold ourselves accountable to going forward," Tauchman said. "We have a lot of guys who control the zone. The next step in that is controlling the zone but being aggressive to your pitch. We’ve done a good job of controlling the zone, but the next step is ‘Alright boys, when you earn those 2-0, 3-1 counts and you are in those big heater counts, commit to it. Let it rip.’ Whatever happens after that is what happens."

it was against Baltimore.

Carlson would have made that play at short.

Oof. That was catchable.

oof

Didn't realize Manny Ramirez was back with the team in RF. 

 

What was the catch probability on that? It looked pretty catchable but he made a bad read. 

Fucking error at short.

90% catch probability

Could have inserted Taylor for defense.

An unforced error.

not sure where to check "catch probability" but xBA was .150 on it

In the 4th inning? Seems extreme.

Defensive replacements in the 4th inning?
