kitekrazy Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Watching this team now seems surreal. You look forward to watching them. I know even the worst teams get hot but it wasn't like this the last 2 years. If I was bored I'd watch the replay of the Pirates .Rockies game. It looks like an NFL score. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome. Appropriate with Wilson closing the game. Surf's up. Edited August 2 by TheBooneLoganEra 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumn Dreamin Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 ...Okay but have we considered a world in which they're actually cheating? No one is going to suspect a rebuilding team, and any opponent calling it out would just look like a sore loser. Start cheating before you're competitive, and then when you're still hitting 4 HR a game from the top of the division it looks like a natural development? Pretty perfect crime. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lip Man 1 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Congratulations to the Sox for matching last years win total of 41 games. Could this be a repeat of what happened after the All-Star Break in 1989? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestEddy Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I think I see one more win in this schedule. Maybe all the people who shouted that this team would lose more games than the 2024 team were wrong? Perhaps that is something to consider? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteSox2023 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 (edited) 50 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: What’s wild is Benintendi had a 131 wRC+ coming into today when DHing. Like if you could move him out of the OF and for whatever reason the bat keeps playing up at DH, he might be usable and/or tradable eventually. Regardless, we got to find a way to get him out of the OF on most days. Don’t care what vilehoopster says, Andrew is very bad in the field. And your idea makes perfect sense. A dude that can’t play defense anywhere very well, but is obviously improving with his bat — Sosa… throw him in LF where D isn’t hugely important. Maybe he can handle it? He’s still only 25 and earning dick… Edited August 2 by WhiteSox2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braden Montgomery hit a homer and went 2 for 4. Charlotte won and Curtis Mead went 1 for 2 with 3 walks and a double. Cut Rojas and give Mead some run at 1B. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox need to give him the rest of this season to show if he can be an everyday big leaguer or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are things I haven't seen clarified by anyone yet. Martin Perez doesn't count against the 40 while on the 60 day IL but then I think someone will have to be dropped off the 40 when he comes back. Just not sure when that'll be yet. Rojas might not be around much longer. Maybe @WestEddy can call the Sox and ask them. Edited August 2 by CaliSoxFanViaSWside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are going to go to the game tomorrow - but easiest stadium to get in an out of and hopefully you got to enjoy the fireworks show from the Sox bats and the Friday night fireworks after. A few breweries right in area - the breury is real good but also a golden road and a few other places right there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitown87 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 (edited) 6 hours ago, CaliSoxFanViaSWside said: Yes I do but don't know how helpful I will be. It's a nice place to see a game. A lot easier getting in and out of the parking lots there than Dodger stadium plus there's always a decent size contingent of Sox fans there. I went there for the ALCS deciding game against the Angels in 2005 . That was fun. The buddy I went with got on TV with his young son on his lap and it's immortalized on the World Series DVD, which included that full game during, the 7th inning Pepsi Fan Cam. I was right next him but it was a close in shot . We ended up at the game and had a great night. It’s a dated stadium but it had gorgeous views, and it’s always nice to see a W.

Had good beer and a couple apps, and caught part of what I assume were the Disney fireworks. Was a great night overall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I still say Beni is a fine ballplayer. 14 homers now. Excellent player IMO. Weak arm but so what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
