Wonder if we see Hagen, as Guardians have a ton of lefties.

Sure, if we want to watch him walk most of them. I think Hagen this year would be a mistake, but I think he and Thorpe are Getz’s planned replacements.

You know you are a White Sox fan and used to losing when you care more about @Lip Man 1’s surgery than a horrible Sox loss. And I’m being serious.

Thank you...I think? 😄

Can you pitch tomorrow?

Not with my left arm in this bulky brace for six weeks.

We should have Newcomb, Hicks, and Hudson tomorrow. I think we need to bring someone up though because I don't think we have anyone else to throw tomorrow

Murphy would be the only reliever who can be sent down correct? I would think Schweitzer comes up, but only if hes eligible. Not sure what the rule would be for him replacing Bart.

And your right arm?

BoSox are 31-5 last 36 games, 17 wins vs +.500 teams and 10 straight series wins with 5 sweeps IIRC... they're on a historic run. Gotta tip our hats to them, they're doing everything right...is it sustainable into the postseason? I don't know, what I do know is if our Sox win the division or are in the playoffs, they're the last team I want us to meet. I'd rather face Tampa than BoSox infinity times over.

Honestly, sounds like an amazing surgery for Lip. One hour to fix a torn rotator cuff. My son’s surgery took like 3 hours, but it was torn ligaments (ACL) and meniscus removal/cleanup. Rotator cuff is muscles and tendons.

Will say that the teams that have gone on historic runs in the season aren't able to maintain them in the postseason. A's and Guardians come to mind.

A pitcher replacing Bart? You can only carry 13 pitchers

We were talking about the 1 Castillo game with the Sox. If you want to think that meaningful for how the rest of his starts go that's fine But at least you're not jumping for joy about it when you were too afraid to grade the trade deadline acquisitions like someone else is doing.

Afraid? I didn't grade but I posted my skepticism about Luis elsewhere. Arrow pointing down. So I didn't give a grade. Boo hoo.

Would be nice to take advantage of this stretch with minimal travel.

Maybe walkoff specialist EQ with a chip on his shoulder can take advantage of a home heavy schedule too.

Stinky, all you need to know is that Cali thinks he’s always right about everything Sox related. He even pats his own back and gives himself a self-high-five when he thinks he predicted a transaction that the Sox actually made. And when the Sox lose in horrible fashion he gets frustrated and takes his rage out on SoxTalk posters, rather than the actual White Sox team that lost the game. This is Cali to a T. The end.

Brazoban has options technically, but they won't do that, so it should be Murphy.

Schweitzer threw 2 IP today though, the replacement would need to be someone else. If they want to prioritize length, Urquidy last started on Sunday and Sandlin is scheduled for tomorrow.

Between one of them, Schultz, and what's left in the pen, they should be able to get through 9 and reset enough for the rest of the series.

Considering the main reason they got him was to give them innings, I have to laugh at the excuses for him only going 4 innings.

Let's see what he does against the Royals.

Really need to win 2 of 3 this weekend

Did you watch the game?

I love Will Venable but he managed the game like it was 7 inning high school game.

Yes, I watched the game. The manager doesn't have a button of "does the other team score runs - YES/NO". He did what he had to do.

I know. Murphy would have to go down too but TS cant come up for him.

Time for Sox to go on a huge run!!!

I need to channel your positivity. I don’t even have this much hope when I’m watching my own son’s football games. You must be the greatest dad ever.

Well, hopefully they flame out before we have to face them again (if we get that far). I was watching this game on the BoSox feed and by listening to their commentators, I could hear that they also know they're on a crazy once in a lifetime run, they mentioned that this stretch of 31-5 run is now the best in BoSox history. And their a historic team so that's nothing to sneeze at...

If Cali had done any research and checked my posts he'd have seen that I'm not sold on Luis. Instead he only looked at the vote on trades. Incomplete research can be worse than none at all.
