I know I say this every time, but Sam really does start against lefties more often than he sits.

Yeah, I think it’s just recency bias. If you take out these last two when Chase has been hurt, and then look at the last ten games we’ve faced a lefty before that, my guess is that he has sat more than started in those.

But I think he got more starts against them earlier in the year.

    Not that anybody cares, but my Uncle Jim was roommates with the Pope at Seminary High in MI and at Villanova. Jim is a huge Sox fan still and keeps in touch with "Bob" a bit, but not as much lately f

Part of me really wants to see Sam and Chase bat 1-2 every night. Chase is basically the prototypical #2 hitter of yesteryear that has gone out of style, Mune does have a better OBP than Chase, but I feel like Chase is so hard to strike out and goes deep into counts that he would really thrive in that role and benefit the team.

Antonacci's coming up on playing his most games in a season. He's appeared in 97 of the 100 games the White Sox played since he was called up. The best time to get him any rest for a game probably isn't a game that a RHP starts. So they give him a breather against some lefties. Sitting Antonacci is also about getting Grichuk playing time to keep him ready.

I often cite this as the last funny movie ever made. You'd never be able to get away with half the sh*t they say in here today!

Step Brothers and Hangover came out slightly after but you're definitely right that that era was pretty much the end of great comedy movies.

Playing a man down again. Great. If he's hurt put him on the IL.

LFG!!!

Paul Blart came out in 2009 as well.

Nancy just played "always look on the bright side of life" 😆😆😆😆

Rooting for a meteor in this Detroit Tribe series. Probably prefer Cle takes 2/3, cool off Tigers a bit.

Rooting for Cleveland as well. Would be nice to get the Tigers down heading into the weekend and then we put them down for good.

We have 7 left vs Detroit and only 3 vs Cleveland. Much more of an opportunity for the Tigers to make up ground on us.

Well we got 6 of us from college still in it, 5 of them are from Michigan so yea.

Cheering for Guards to beat Tigers is just kind of weird.

Especially since CLE has the last two Central titles.

But DET more dangerous post season team...at least they were.

Tied on a Delauter HR. Top 3. Jose Ramirez is ice cold since his return.

Interesting that Burke starts his pregame warmup throwing a football in the outfield , then he does long toss with the baseball..

Guardians have such an easier remaining schedule
