12 hours ago12 hr Your first place Chicago White Sox improve to 68-62 with their 11th walkoff win.13 games into this intense 16 game stretch without an off day, they are managing a winning record so far.It can make for a stressful watch, but being able to win a series vs. a hot team while playing less than their best baseball is still a positive.Detroit was swept by KC and look nearly finished. Twins were also swept by SD with their new BP arms getting lit up today. Guards managed to win consecutive games for the first time in a month while sweeping the Rockies.That leaves our Sox 3.5 up with CLE and their baby soft schedule back to being the closest threat.

Then they interviewed Emma, the "cutie patootie", that got the walk off homer from Friday night. She gave Rogers the ball and he gave her a signed bat, signed a ball, and a signed jersey.😍

That combination almost results in a 'home run or nothing' situation. That's not good.I don't have an answer except maybe with time they'll get better as they get more experience at the big league level.Today's batters are facing velocity with so many pitchers giving max effort on every pitch. The pitchers are not as guarded because they know TJ surgery is an industry expectation.Average Speed by Pitch TypeFour-seam fastball: 94–95 mphSinker / Two-seamer: 93–94 mphCutter: 89–90 mphChangeup: 85–86 mphSlider: 84–85 mphCurveball: 79–80 mph Historical Velocity Trends2008 (Start of tracking): 91.9 mph2015: 92.9 mph2021: 93.7 mphToday: 94.7 mph

9 hours ago9 hr A clutch late inning victory at Irate Field. We even got a little MMA action in between it.

7 hours ago7 hr 4 hours ago, Lip Man 1 said:Fair.But it's also true that if you at least can put the ball in play good things can happen. If you have a lot of strike outs, well...nothing can happen except maybe a dropped third strike.The batting averages of Vargas, Muni and Colson are now .246, .223 and .213 respectively...I mean that's not good at all.Makes you appreciate even more what guys like Thomas, Konerko, Ordonez, Lee and Valentin did in the early 00's. They hit a ton of home runs and also had good batting averages.If you put the ball in play it can be a DP. If you K with 1 out you have another hitter to try. Thomas was one of the greatest RHH in baseball history. Sox don't have a guy like that now.I'd take it more seriously if you were telling me their wRC+ or wOBA was bad instead of their batting avg.

That is essentially an extra game we can add to our leadIf we get swept by Cleveland, we essentially lose 4 games in the standings. 3 from the sweep, 1 from the tiebreaker.If we win 1 in the Cleveland series, we essentially lose 0 games in the standings. Minus 1 if we lose 2 of 3, but plus 1 for clinching tiebreaker.1 win in that series sort of equals 4 games in the standings.Or is my math/logic bad?
6 hours ago6 hr Newcomb hasn't given up an earned run in 12.1 innings. in those 8 games the Sox are 6-2.Taylor had a streak going back to July 4th of 22.1 innings that ended today. in those 16 games the Sox were 12-4.Since 6/21 in 22 games covering 21.1 IP Jordan Hicks is 2-0 with a 1.27 ERA & 1.82 FIP with 32K & 8 BB. Also has 5 holds in that span and 1 blown save. Sox were 10-12 in his 22 games

They hit a ton of home runs and also had good batting averages.It’s a totally different era across the entire sport. Top line metrics like batting and earned run averages have proportionately moved across the league.Seems like every year the CY candidates hover near 2 for an ERA and there are only a couple of hitters over .300Back in the 90s I’d venture a guess that those measurements were more like a 3 ERA and .335 for hitters.Just remember back when seeing a starting pitcher hit 96 mph regularly meant he was a stud. Now, that is basically an expectation while the real impressive heaters are getting up to 102+.Insane.
